Grigoris Bithikotis was born in Peristeri, Athens, in 1922 to a poor family. He became interested in music at an early age, and acquired a bouzouki as soon as he was able. At first, he had to hide the instrument at a friend's house and practice in secret, as his father disapproved of the new rembetiko style that had captured his son's interest. He met composer Mikis Theodorakis in 1959 and the two collaborated producing folk songs. Bithikotsis composed over 80 songs. He possessed a rich singing voice with which he performed his own compositions and those of Theodorakis, who frequently chose his friend Grigoris to perform his masterpieces. Throughout his life, Bithikotsis performed frequent concerts at numerous venues, including one in Athens upon the occasion of his eightieth birthday. He died in Athens, in 2005.

Μουσική: Γρηγόρης Μπιθικώτσης

Ένα όμορφο αμάξι με δυό άλογα
να μου φέρετε τα μάτια μου σαν κλείσω
τον ντουνιά με τα στραβά και τα παράλογα
καβαλλάρης μια φορά να σεργιανίσω

Το ένα τ' άλογο να είναι άσπρο
όπως τα όνειρα που έκανα παιδί
το άλλο άλογο να είναι μαύρο
σαν την πικρή μου την κατάμαυρη ζωή

Να χτυπώ το καμουτσίκι μου το άπονο
σαν της μοίρας μου τ' αβάσταχτα χαστούκια
και ν' ακούγεται τη νύχτα σαν παράπονο
σαν πεννιά λυπητερή από μπουζούκια

Το ένα τ' άλογο να είναι άσπρο
όπως τα όνειρα που έκανα παιδί
το άλλο άλογο να είναι μαύρο
σαν την πικρή μου την κατάμαυρη ζωή
