| The song is originally called "Mi mou thimonis matia mou" "Don't be angry with me my eyes" (my love). It was part of the album "Sta psila ta parathiria" ("In the high windows") - 1975. The composer S. Kougioumtzis (1932-2005) was one of Greece's most renowned songwriters in the "entechno" art laika style. From his obituary: Stavros Kougioumtzis, the popular Greek composer of songs that lasted through time and were loved by all, breathed his last, on Saturday, aged 73. The composer from Thessalonica started his studies in the piano School of the Thessalonica State Conservatoire, aged 15. He wrote his first song entitled "Peristeraki" in 1960, with which he participated in the EIR Festival with singer Zoi Kouroukli. Stavros Kougioumtzis wrote many popular songs such as "An Deis ston Ipno sou Erimia," "Mi mou Thimoneis Matia mou," Kapou Nichtonei," "Pou nai ta Chronia," "Ola Kala ki ola Oraia," "O Ouranos Fevgei Varis," "Kokkino Foustani," "Enas Kombos i Chara mou." He also cooperated with popular Greek singers such as Giannis Vogiatzis, Giannis Poulopoulos, Giorgos Zografos, Giorgos Dalaras, Kaiti Chomata and Charoula Alexiou. His funeral will take place on Tuesday, at 13:00 at the Kalamaria Cathedral. "I Did Not Want False Songs" "I was not a doting father to my song, that is the truth. I did not support them. I did not promote them. I left them helpless. I used to say that they would make it on their own or they would die. But I did not want them to be false, or with crutches," stated the composer in his autobiography "Anoixta Parathira me Kleista Pantzouria." "All of my life I have been anti-anarchist. The powers are anarchistic. They do not have values, but laws. The youth, regardless of how, fight against anarchy, are anti-anarchists and not the opposite, as every given government says otherwise. There is anarchistic youth. But they are old, we have made them old, we took their youth away." Songs that Will Live in Our Hearts In 1966 he entered the world of theatre writing music for Giorgos Themelis play To Taxidi, premiered by the Northern Greece National Theater, and directed by Evgenios Spatharis. Following, he moves to Athens and starts cooperating with Minos record company and with upcoming singers Giorgos Dalaras, Charoula Alexiou, Giannis Kalantzis and Vicky Moscholiou. Some examples of his extensive discography are Natane to 21 (1970, Dalaras), Mikres Politeies (1974, Dalaras, Vissi), Sta Psila ta Parathiria (1975, Dalaras, Vissi), Mikrainei o Kosmos (1982, Kalogiannis, Aimilia Kougioumtzi, Koutras, Bogdanos, Christianopoulos), and Evreche o Kosmos (2000, Maria Kougioumtzi, Dalaras, Giorgos Christodoulou).
