Under the title "Asma Athinaikon" (Athenian Song), it is also included in the collection "Arion, I mousiki ton Ellinon os diesothi apo ton archaiotaton chronon mechri tis simeron" (Arion, The music of the Greeks as preserved from ancient times to the present day) by Adamantios Remantas and Prokopios D.

In 1983, the Dutch composer Henk van Lijnschooten (The Hague, March 27, 1928 – Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht, November 1, 2006) wrote the work "Suite on Greek love songs" for wind orchestra. The four-movement suite is based on melodies from an equal number of Greek songs. More specifically, in the first movement, Vivace ironico, the composer elaborates on the melody of this song "Eicha mian agapi", in the second, Andante espressivo, he draws musical material from the song "I voskopoula" or "To filima" (see here), in the third, Allegretto Patetico, from the song "Ta matakia sou ta mavra" (see here, here and here), and in the fourth, Presto, from the song "Pera stous pera kampous" (see here).
