Following a 21-year performing ban imposed by the conservative government of Iran (where she continued to live following the 1979 Islamic revolution), Googoosh finally left the country in 2000 to undertake a world tour, re-establishing her status as the most successful Iranian artist of all time.

The phenomenal success of these concerts was testament not only to her lasting quality as an artist, but a tribute to generations of Iranians who, despite over two decades of silence, demonstrated their continuing love and loyalty to an enduring star of a bygone era. In turn she rewarded their devotion with proof that she continues to remain relevant to today's audiences, showing that she is a star not only of the past, but of the present and the future.

آسمون روی خونم آبی نیست
شعله ی چراغ من آبی نیست
دیگه رنگ عاشقی تو نقاشی آبی نیست
توی جوی کوچمون آب زلال آبی نیست
ما می خوایم آبی باشیم
ما می خوایم عاشق باشیم

دیگه تو دیگ سیاه خون و خشونت نجوشه

رنگ خون آبی بشه مثل تو رگ
شب آبی رنگ دریا رنگ عشق
رنگ چشم مهتاب، رنگ آبی عشق
رنگ چشم مهتاب، رنگ آبی عشق

اگه تو جوی کوچه آب سیاه آبی بشه
اگه رنگ عاشقی تو نقاشی آبی بشه
قلمو وردار و یه عشق بکش
خون و از نقاشی بردار، گلای آبی بکش

زهو از کمون بکش، زندونو تو آسمون آبی بکش
زندونو تو آسمون آزاد بکش

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Googoosh's song "Abi" express the desire for love and peace in a world that is full of darkness and violence. The opening lines, "The sky over my blood is not blue, the flame of my lamp is not blue", suggest that the singer's world lacks the beauty and tranquility associated with the color blue. They lament that even the color of their love is not depicted in blue in paintings anymore. The subsequent lines, "The water in our stream is not clear blue", further reinforce the absence of the clarity and purity that blue symbolizes.

The singer then declares that they want to be blue, to be in love. They want to turn the black blood of anger and violence blue, like the veins in their body. The reference to the "blue night of love" and the "blue color of the sea" signifies that they want their love to be peaceful and deep. The repetition of "rang-e abi-e eshgh" (the blue color of love) emphasizes the importance of this color to the singer's desire for love and peace. The final stanza calls for taking up the pen and drawing flowers in blue, rather than spilling blood and creating violence. The ultimate goal is to free the world from the prison of violence and create a blue sky of peace and freedom.
