A Lyricist Behind the Scenes<\/h2>\n

Although Eftihia collaborated with iconic composers such as Vassilis Tsitsanis<\/a>,<\/span> Apostolos Kaldaras and Manos Hadjidakis<\/a><\/span>, her name often didn\u2019t appear in official credits. Why? Because she frequently sold her lyrics outright\u2014signing away any rights for immediate payment. This was partly due to her love of gambling, especially playing cards, and a need for quick cash.<\/p>\n

In her own words (interview with Akropolis<\/em> newspaper):<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI write songs and I sell them. From that point onwards, I do not care whether they will be a hit or not. When I submit them, I sign a form to renounce any rights to royalties\u2014let\u2019s say I \u2018disown\u2019 my brainchildren.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Despite this, her songs became timeless classics.<\/p>\n
