Gesseh Gooye Peere Shahr
Googoosh Lyrics

The lyrics to Googoosh's song Gesseh Gooye Peere Shahr tell a story of a storyteller, who is approaching the end of his life and has no other stories to tell. He asks his audience to sit beside him and listen to his final tale. He reflects on his past and reveals that his stories have died within him, and he is tired of telling tales that have become mundane. He sits at the gravesite of his stories and waits for his time to come, symbolizing the end of his creative dexterity.

The second stanza talks about a younger version of himself. A time when love and dreams were his companions, yet love escaped him, leaving his lips cold and his stories buried. A sorrowful life, without refuge or solace, is all that is left for him. He urges the person to leave, a person who might have caused him pain or whom he might have harmed. The storyteller is aware that he has sinned and asks the person to leave him alone in his last moments.

The lyrics are a reflection of the creative process and the struggle of artists to keep their art fresh and relevant. In the end, the storyteller accepts that his stories have come to an end and embraces the release from his artistic confinement.
