The legend and the pride of Opatija, Betty Jurković, continued her career performing songs of most significant Croatian authors, such as Kuntaric, Dedić and Prohaska, but also re-interpreting jazz evergreens such as Tea for Two, Sound of Music, etc.
The voice of Betty Jurkovic transpires the maturity of an excellent interpreter, whose exemplary and penetrating mezzo-soprano is adorned by restraint and a total feel for good humour.
Autobus Calypso
Beti Jurković Lyrics

Ni časak ne čeka on to znaš
Hajd skoči i vrijeme sad ne gubi
Zar mora propast svaki vikend naš
Do mora će ravno nas odvesti
Uz divan i palma puni kraj
Uz prozor ću odmah lijepo sjesti
Hej! Autobus Calypso to je ljetni hobi moj
Bar dok nemam još mali auto svoj
Ubaci vikend šator, naše kišobrane s njim
Zatim torbu s provijantom svim
Požuri jer autobus već trubi
I kupi još cigareta par
Tad vrijeme ne gubi, on ne čeka
Putovat s tobom to je strašna stvar
Stoj, stoj!
Stoj, stoj!
Bez nas će ostat šumica daleka
A joj, a jaj!
E ode, ode autobus nam taj
Ode, ode s njim i vikend moj
To je ajajaj i tu je kraj!
Hej! Autobus Calypso to je ljetni hobi moj
Bar dok nemam još mali auto svoj
Ubaci vikend šator, naše kišobrane s njim
Zatim torbu s provijantom svim
Požuri jer autobus već trubi
I kupi još cigareta par
Tad vrijeme ne gubi, on ne čeka
Putovat s tobom to je strašna stvar
Stoj, stoj!
Stoj, stoj!
Bez nas će ostat šumica daleka
A joj, a jaj!
E, ode, ode autobus nam taj
Ode, ode s njim i vikend moj
To je ajajaj i tu je kraj!

The singer is eager to get on the bus because it will take them directly to the beach, where they can enjoy the sunshine and palm trees. The singer hints at a romantic relationship between the two protagonists with lines like "no prije brzo poljubac još daj" (give me a quick kiss first).
The chorus of the song has a catchy tune that is easy to sing along with, and it describes the "Autobus Calypso" as the singer's summer hobby, at least until they can afford their own car.

Požuri jer autobus već trubi
Hurry up because the bus is already honking
Ni časak ne čeka on to znaš
Not even a moment does he wait, you know that
Hajd skoči i vrijeme sad ne gubi
Come on, jump, and don't waste time
Zar mora propast svaki vikend naš
Must every weekend of ours go to waste?
Do mora će ravno nas odvesti
It will take us straight to the sea
Uz divan i palma puni kraj
With a wonderful end and full of palm trees
Uz prozor ću odmah lijepo sjesti
I will immediately sit nicely by the window
No prije brzo poljubac još daj
But first, give me a quick kiss
Hej! Autobus Calypso to je ljetni hobi moj
Hey! Autobus Calypso is my summer hobby
Bar dok nemam još mali auto svoj
At least until I have my own small car
Ubaci vikend šator, naše kišobrane s njim
Put the weekend tent and our umbrellas in it
Zatim torbu s provijantom svim
Then the bag with all the picnic food
I kupi još cigareta par
And buy a couple more cigarettes
Tad vrijeme ne gubi, on ne čeka
Then time won't be wasted, it won't wait
Putovat s tobom to je strašna stvar
Traveling with you is a terrifying thing
Stoj, stoj!
Stop, stop!
Bez nas će ostat šumica daleka
The distant woods will remain without us
A joj, a jaj!
Oh no!
E ode, ode autobus nam taj
The bus is leaving us
Ode, ode s njim i vikend moj
It's leaving with my weekend
To je ajajaj i tu je kraj!
That's aww and that's the end!
