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.
Nina
Beti Jurković Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Daj spremi romane te
Za te život sprema već
Roman srca tvog
Dan gasne, čeka te on
Kraj stare laterne te
Gdje toliko najljepšeg
O, Nina, Nina, zadnje laste odlijeću
A vi se niste radovali proljeću
I ljetnog neba zvijezde su izblijedile
Ni ruža više nema
Čak rujnu jesen vi ste tad izgubili
A niste se još nijednom poljubili
Oh Nina, Nina, zima bit će začas tu
Ne gubi još i nju
Hajde sad na ples, na ples
Gdje srce možeš zgrijat' tad
Ah samo dok iz oka tvog
Sunašce i zimi sjaj
O Nina, Nina, zadnje laste odlijeću
A vi se niste radovali proljeću
Oh Nina, Nina, zima bit će začas tu
Ne gubi još i nju
O Nina, Nina, zadnje laste odlijeću
A vi se niste radovali proljeću
I ljetnog neba zvijezde su izblijedile
Ni ruža više nema
The song "Nina" by Beti Jurković is a nostalgic and melancholic tune that tells a story of missed opportunities, unrequited love, and the passing of time. The lyrics address a woman named Nina, urging her to leave everything behind and prepare her novels for the life that awaits her. The life that the song refers to is the life of love and passion that is symbolized by the "Roman srca tvog," or "the novel of your heart." However, the song suggests that this novel of Nina's heart remains unwritten, as she is too preoccupied with other things.
The second verse of the song is particularly poignant, as it describes a moment of missed opportunity between Nina and her lover. The lyrics suggest that Nina and her lover had several chances to express their feelings for each other during the spring and summer but failed to do so. The passing of these seasons is represented by the departure of the last swallows, the fading of the stars in the summer sky, and the absence of roses. The song ends on a somber note, urging Nina not to lose another opportunity, as winter is fast approaching.
Overall, "Nina" is a song that captures the essence of missed opportunities and unfulfilled desires. The lyrics are touching and moving, evoking a sense of nostalgia and longing for something that is just out of reach.

Čuj, Nina, ostavi sve
Listen, Nina, leave everything behind
Daj spremi romane te
Go prepare your novels
Za te život sprema već
Life already has plans for you
Roman srca tvog
The novel of your heart
Dan gasne, čeka te on
The day is fading, he is waiting for you
Kraj stare laterne te
By the old street lamp
Gdje toliko najljepšeg
Where there is so much beauty
Tebi želi reć'
It wants to tell you
O, Nina, Nina, zadnje laste odlijeću
Oh Nina, Nina, the last swallows are leaving
A vi se niste radovali proljeću
And you didn't enjoy the spring
I ljetnog neba zvijezde su izblijedile
And the stars of the summer sky have faded
Ni ruža više nema
There are no more roses
Čak rujnu jesen vi ste tad izgubili
Even the September autumn you lost then
A niste se još nijednom poljubili
And you haven't kissed yet
Oh Nina, Nina, zima bit će začas tu
Oh Nina, Nina, winter will be here in no time
Ne gubi još i nju
Don't lose it yet
Hajde sad na ples, na ples
Come dance now, dance
Gdje srce možeš zgrijat' tad
Where you can warm your heart
Ah samo dok iz oka tvog
Ah, only while the light from your eyes
Sunašce i zimi sjaj
Shines like the winter sun
O Nina, Nina, zadnje laste odlijeću
Oh Nina, Nina, the last swallows are leaving
A vi se niste radovali proljeću
And you didn't enjoy the spring
Oh Nina, Nina, zima bit će začas tu
Oh Nina, Nina, winter will be here in no time
Ne gubi još i nju
Don't lose it yet
O Nina, Nina, zadnje laste odlijeću
Oh Nina, Nina, the last swallows are leaving
A vi se niste radovali proljeću
And you didn't enjoy the spring
I ljetnog neba zvijezde su izblijedile
And the stars of the summer sky have faded
Ni ruža više nema
There are no more roses
