"Zjarr e ftohtë" (Albanian: [ˈzjar ɛ ˈftɔhtə]; transl. "Fire and cold") is a song by Albanian singer Luiz Ejlli. Klodian Qafoku composed the music while Dr. Flori wrote the lyrics. Musically, it is an Albanian-language pop song incorporating a southern Albanian folklore element in its instrumentation. The song represented Albania in the Eurovision Song Contest 2006 in Athens, Greece, after winning the pre-selection competition Festivali i Këngës 44. The country failed to qualify for the grand final in fourteenth place, marking the country's first non-qualification in the contest.
During his minimalistic show on the competition, Ejlli was accompanied by three backing vocalists and two traditional Albanian instrumentalists.
