Find its rest now
And the night will wake for it

Once yield
So the night can give birth to a day

If anyone wants to know the lyrics of what she’s singing, it’s

«Let the day get its rest now
And the night will watch for it
Nocturne

See, the darkness must at some time pass
So the night can give birth to a new day»

Imagine so few words making up such a powerful song.

Marina Ann: the lyrics are:
La dagen få
Sin hvile nå
Og natten vil våke for den
Nocturne

Selv mörket må
En gang forgå
Så natten kan föde en dag

In English:

Let the day get its rest now
And the night will guard in its place
Nocturne

Even the darkness must disappear sometime
So the night can give birth to a day

@charlielosta9896

@elisa gomez Creo que hasta 2003-2004 era requisito la música en directo. Después modificaron las bases y desde esa fecha sólo es la voz en directo.
