Beegharar
Googoosh Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

آسمان، ای پیر افسرده
بهر چه با من نمی سازی؟
کلبه تاریک قلبم را
لحظه ای روشن نمی سازی؟
در این شهر پر شور و دروازه ها
چرا هر دری را زدم بسته بود؟
چرا مرغک بخت من ای خدا
پرستویی افسرده و خسته بود؟

چرا نمی سازد زمانه
با دل بی قرار من؟
خدایا کی سرآید آخر
زمان انتظار من؟
شاید خواست خدا بوده
که من غمگین بمانم
برای این قلب خسته
آواز غم بخوانم

در این شهر پر شور و دروازه ها
چرا هر دری را زدم بسته بود؟
چرا مرغک بخت من ای خدا
پرستویی افسرده و خسته بود؟

چرا نمی سازد زمانه
با دل بی قرار من؟
خدایا کی سرآید آخر
زمان انتظار من؟
شاید خواست خدا بوده
که من غمگین بمانم




برای این قلب خسته
آواز غم بخوانم

Overall Meaning

In Googoosh's song "Beegharar," the singer is addressing someone they call "آسمان", or heaven, and referring to them as a weary and old elder. The singer is asking why this elder will not make any effort to help them out of their state of sadness and melancholy. They compare the state of their heart to a dark house that cannot be brightened even for just a moment. The singer is living in a city full of energy and excitement, yet they cannot seem to find any open doors. They question why all doors are closed to them, and why the little bird that symbolizes their luck is tired and depressed. The second verse repeats the same questions and expresses the singer's hopelessness, waiting for a time when they might finally find some relief.


The song speaks to a deep sense of sadness and loss that the singer feels. They seem to be searching for answers or help from something greater than themselves, yet finding no solace. The use of the symbol of an old, tired heaven emphasizes the depth of the singer's hopelessness. The contrast between their internal state and the exciting external world that they inhabit creates additional tension and emphasizes the depth of the singer's despair. Ultimately, the song seems to express the futility of searching for something to relieve one's pain and suggests that sometimes, one must simply embrace their melancholic state.
