What is "naetur"

"Nætur" (Nights) was the Icelandic entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1994, performed in Icelandic by Sigga.

The song is a ballad, with Sigga expressing her delight in the power of nights. She sings that in her dreams she can be with her lover, even if this is not the case in the real world.

The song was performed in the Icelandic national final by Sigga's sister, Sigrun, who had previously sung with her as a member of the group 'Heart2Heart' at the Eurovision Song Contest 1992. However, bosses at Icelandic television felt that the arrangement of the song would not lead them to victory, therefore a new arrangement was created for the Eurovision Song Contest final by Frank Macnamara, who conducted on the night. Sigrun was replaced with Sigga.

The song was performed fifth on the night, following Cyprus' Evridiki with " Ime Anthropos Ki Ego" and preceding the United Kingdom's Frances Ruffelle with " We Will Be Free (Lonely Symphony)". At the close of voting, it had received 49 points, placing 12th in a field of 25.

It was succeeded as Icelandic representative at the 1995 Contest by Bo Halldórsson with Núna.
