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.

دیگه خنده رو لبام وا نمیشه
از توی تاریکی پس کوچه ها
واسه این دل یکی پیدا نمیشه
از توی تاریکی پس کوچه ها
واسه این دل یکی پیدا نمیشه
اگه میشد چی میشد
دلم عاشقش میشد
زندگیم قشنگ میشد
روز من شب نمیشد
آخ اگه میشد چی میشد
چرا هیچکس به سراغم نمیاد
دل غمدیدمو هیچکس نمی خواد
دیگه از دلم خجالت می کشم
آخه تا به کی باید تنها باشم
آاااااااااااااه
اگه میشد چی میشد
یه کسی پیدا میشد
دلم عاشقش میشد
زندگیم قشنگ میشد
روز من شب نمیشد
آخ اگه میشد چی میشد
در و دیوارا برام کهنه شده
قصهء کتابا هم خونده شده
دیگه داره از خودم بدم میاد
دل من خسته و وا مونده شده
دیگه داره از خودم بدم میاد
دل من خسته و وا مونده شده
اگه میشد چی میشد
"Ageh Mishod" is a poignant ballad that expresses the yearning for love and companionship. The lyrics are heavy with emotions of loneliness and despair, where the singer is struggling to find someone to share their life with. The first verse describes how the world feels meaningless when there is no love in it, and how the singer's laughter has vanished. They are wandering in the darkness of alleys searching for someone to fill the emptiness in their heart, but to no avail. The repetition of the last line of the verse emphasizes the hopelessness of the situation.
The chorus reflects the bitterness and sorrow of the singer. They imagine a life filled with love, where they have someone to share their days and nights. The yearning is so intense that the singer cannot help but wonder what if they had found someone to love. The second verse is more despairing, where the singer has given up hope of finding love. They feel that even the walls and doors have grown old waiting for them to find love. They have read books and stories of love, but nothing seems to work for them. The verse concludes with the singer's heart being exhausted and feeling hopeless.
In summary, "Ageh Mishod" is a moving song that captures the longing for love and companionship. The lyrics express the desperation and loneliness of the singer, which are emphasized by the melancholic melody and Googoosh's soulful vocals.
