Kouyioumtzis wrote mostly love songs.
So this song, is a love song also.
It is a fact that until the early eighties, the majority of Greeks didn't owned a turntable,
to fill up their joyfull moments with songs from LP's.
They were dancing listening to live music or singing the songs that have heard
played on radio. It wasn't too strange to listen to people singing while walking.
So even if it was only months after the end of jounta, and that's why those lyrics
aren't so clear enough (in order to gain some buyers during that period),
this phrase states the despair of somebody that is cheated by his/hers friend
but own personal problems are so big that prohibit him/her from singing his/hers sorrow while walking in an alley.
Instead...... nowadays it's pretty difficult to find someone walking and not
1. Being plugged with earphones
or
2. talking to air while "wearing" his bluetooth adapter.....
this is from a documentary
"Gilgamesh, where are you hurrying to?
You will never find that life for which you are looking.
When the gods created man they allotted to him death,
but life they retained in their own keeping"
So it's about a new lover after all. Because he's talking about being jobless and changing flags later on, I thought it was about the betrayal of a political idea.
Thank you.
