The song comes from the three-act operetta by Giorgos Vitalis - Nikos Grimaldis (Nikos Koukoulas) "I Aftou Megaleiotis o eros" (His Majesty, Eros). The operetta premiered at the Luna Park Theater in Alexandria on July 20, 1928. The following participated in the play: Mar. Kapsani, Mairi Flery, Manos Filippidis, Mich. Kofiniotis, K. Pomonis and others.

The date of the premiere is also confirmed by the poet Constantine Cavafy in his letter to Rika Segkopoulou (see here).

In Greece, the play premiered on January 29, 1929 at the Kentrikon Theater in Athens by the Oikonomou-Samartzis troupe.

In the newspaper I Vradyni (22/12/1930, page 3), the article under the title "I Dnis Galazoudi epetyche ston diethni diagonismon" (Miss Galazoudi succeeded in the international contest) mentions the singer Niki Galazoudi: "According to today's telegram from Nice, Miss Galazoudi, who, as is well known, succeeded in the competition announced there and was sent to Paris to take part in the talkie 'La chanson des nations', was a great hit. Miss Galazoudi enthusiastically sang two Greek songs, standing out among her twenty co-stars, who had come from all over the world. The well-known French musician Serpentier, the composer of 'Louise' and Countess M. Noailles, attending the shooting of the film, expressed their enthusiasm for the young and beautiful artist.

Miss Galazoudi was approached by the big film company 'Paramount' in order to take part in a new sound film which is going to be 'shot' in the Mediterranean."
