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.

عمر من تو هستی بمون تا بمونم
یه جا ابر آسمون یه جا پر از ستاره
یه جا آفتابی آسمون یه جا می باره
بی تو اما همه جا ابری و غم گرفتست
ابر آسمون یه قطره بارونم نداره
تو اگه باشی آسمون صافه
با تو من بهارم
بی تو شوره زارم
وقتی هستی خوبم
وقتی نیستی بی تو
یه قاب شکسته رو دیوارم
اون ور دنیا شبیه این ور دنیا روزه
یه جا خورشید خاموشه یه جا داره می سوزه
بی تو اما شب و روز فرقی با هم نداره
تو چشای منتظرم سیاهی موندگاره
تو که باشی ابرا می بارن
دشتای خالی پر گل می شن
با تو من بهارم
بی تو شوره زارم
وقتی هستی خوبم
وقتی نیستی بی تو
یه قاب شکسته روی دیوارم
In Googoosh's song "Bemoun Ta Bemounam," the lyrics express the singer's feeling of being incomplete without her loved one. She sings, "Sing with me, so I can sing. You are my life, stay with me so I can stay." She believes that her life is intertwined with her lover's and that they must remain together. The lyrics describe the sky as having different qualities in different places, such as being cloudy and starry in one place, sunny in another, and rain pouring down in another. However, without her lover, everywhere is cloudy and sad, and there is no rain in the sky. This commonly used symbol suggests that her life is empty, and her love is the only thing that can fill the void.
The second verse emphasizes that the singer's entire existence revolves around her lover's presence. With him, life is like spring, and without him, it is barren. The line "A shattered frame on my wall" suggests that without her lover, her life is broken and incomplete. The third verse takes a broader perspective and says that while the world may seem different in different places, the absence of her love makes no difference. The final lines describe the positive effects of being with her lover again, with the rain falling and the fields blooming with flowers.
