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.

از توی تاریکی پس کوچه ها واسه این دل یکی پیدا نمیشه
اگه میشد چی میشد یه کسی پیدا میشد دلم عاشقش میشد
زندگیم قشنگ میشد روز من شب نمیشد آخ اگه میشد چی میشد
چرا هیچکس به سراغم نمیاد دل غم دیدمو هیچکس نمیخواد
دیگه از دلم خجالت میکشم آخه تا به کی باید تنها باشم
اگه میشد چی میشد یه کسی پیدا میشد دلم عاشقش میشد
در و دیوارا برام کهنه شده قصه کتابا هم خونده شده
دیگه داره از خودم بدم میاد دل من خسته و وا مونده شده
اگه میشد چی میشد یه کسی پیدا میشد دلم عاشقش میشد
زندگیم قشنگ میشد روز من شب نمیشد آخ اگه میشد چی میشد
چرا هیچکس به سراغم نمیاد دل غم دیدمو هیچکس نمیخواد
دیگه از دلم خجالت میکشم آخه تا به کی باید تنها باشم
اگه میشد چی میشد یه کسی پیدا میشد دلم عاشقش میشد
زندگیم قشنگ میشد روز من شب نمیشد آخ اگه میشد چی میشد
The lyrics of Googoosh's song Age Mishod Che Mishod describe feelings of loneliness and longing for love. The first lines convey a sense of hopelessness and despair. The singer states that the world has become so unpleasant that she cannot even smile anymore. She walks the dark alleys hoping to find someone to ease her heartache but no one seems to appear. She wishes for someone to come and make her fall in love, which would make her life beautiful.
The verse repeats the desire to find a companion and the pain of being alone. The singer wonders why no one comes to her and she feels embarrassed for continuing to remain by herself. The pre-chorus describes how the singer's life has become boring, and this is evident in her surroundings. She has read many stories, and the walls around her have become old, but nothing interests her anymore. The chorus repeats the desire for someone to come into her life and make everything okay. The song's overall melancholic tone suggests that the singer is lost and feels helpless to change her situation.
