'''Eftychia Papayiannopoulou''' was a Greek writer of - mostly [[laika]] - song lyrics.

She was born Eftychia Hadjigeorgiou in [[Aydini]], [[Asia Minor]], in [[1893]] and left for Greece in [[1922]] after the [[Asia Minor Disaster]].

Though possessing a teacher's diploma, she never taught in Greece. From [[1926]] until [[1942]] she tried her hand in acting and afterwards, from [[1949]] until her death in [[1972]], she wrote poems, many of which became mega-hit songs.

Unfortunately, as an "amateur" in a world of professionals, Eftychia Papayiannopoulou was often robbed of credit for her lyrics. Many composers, singers, song writers would buy her poems for a few hundred drachmas - the equivalent of a week's wages for low-paid labourers - and present them as their own.

Still, the songs we know she wrote, present a very impressive list:

*Δυό πόρτες έχει η ζωή - Life has two doors
*Είμαι αητός χωρίς φτερά - I'm an eagle without wings
*Τα καβουράκια - The little crabs
*Σε τούτο το παλιόσπιτο - In this run-down house
*Γυάλινος κόσμος - Phoney world
*Στ' Αποστόλη το κουτούκι - In Apostoli's bouzouki joint
*Αντιλαλούνε τα βουνά - The mountains resound
*Είμαστε αλάνια - We're wanderers
*Πετραδάκι - πετραδάκι - Stone by stone
*Πάρε το δάκρυ μου - Take ny tears
*Ηλιοβασιλέματα - Dusks
*Πήρα τη στράτα κι έρχομαι - I took the road and I'm coming
*Περασμένες μου αγάπες - Old loves
*Μου σπάσανε τον μπαγλαμά - They broke my [[Baglama]]
*Γκουλμπαχάρ - Gulbahar
