(born 1950) is a veteran of the Greek music scene with dozens of albums to his name, many of which have gone Gold or Platinum. He is also the father of another famous Greek singer, Giorgos Alkaios .
(You burn me, you burn me) is a popular Greek song by the Laïko singer Giannis Vasileiou , originally released in 2005 on the album of the same name.
The "story" within the song is a classic tale of passionate, consuming love—a staple of the Greek Laïko genre. While it doesn't have a complex narrative arc like a novel, it captures a specific emotional "moment" in a relationship:
: The central metaphor, Me kais (You burn me), describes the intense, almost painful attraction the singer feels. In the lyrics, this "fire" represents both the desire for the partner and the emotional turmoil they cause.
: Vasileiou portrays himself as someone completely under the spell of another. The lyrics typically suggest a dynamic where the other person's gaze, touch, or even their absence acts as a flame that he cannot escape.
