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.
Makhlough
Googoosh Lyrics

شهر تاریک دلم رو ، تو پر آوازه کردی
آتش این عشق کهنه دیگه خاکستری بود
اومدی وقتی تو سینه نفس آخری بود
به عشق تو زنده بودم ، منو کشتی ، دوباره زنده کردی
دوست داشتم دوسم داشتی ، منو کشتی ، دوباره زنده کردی
تا تویی تنها بهانه واسه زنده بودنم
من به غیر از خوبی تو مگه حرفی میرنم
معجزه با تو فرقی نداره
تو خالق من بعد از خدایی
در خلوت من تنها صدایی
به عشق تو زنده بودم ، منو کشتی ، دوباره زنده کردی
دوست داشتم دوسم داشتی ، منو کشتی ، دوباره زنده کردی
رفته بود بود هرچی که داشتیم دیگه از خاطر من
کهنه شد اسم قشنگت میون دفتر من
من فراموش کرده بودم ، همه روزای خوبو
اومدی آفتابی کردی،تن سرد غروبو
عشقت به من داد عمر دوباره
معجزه با تو فرقی نداره
تو خالق من بعد از خدایی
در خلوت من تنها صدایی
به عشق تو زنده بودم ، منو کشتی ، دوباره زنده کردی
دوست داشتم دوسم داشتی ، منو کشتی ، دوباره زنده کردی

@@namaste91 [Verse 1]
You came and renewed the pain of an old love. (I'm thinking about you again).
You came and revived the ruined desert of my heart.
Before you came, this love had turned to ashes, was not burning anymore.
You came just when there was in my chest the last breath of life.
[Chorus]
I was alive just by the power of my love for you.
Oh, you killed me and raised me from death again.
I loved you, you loved me…
Oh, you killed me and raised me from death again.
[Verse 2]
You are the only reason for me to stay alive.
I do not say anything except your praise.
Your love gave me a new life.
Any true miracle does not have any difference with you. (you are a true miracle since your love raised me from death.)
You are my creator after God.
In my solitude and silence, you are the only voice.
[Chorus]
I was alive just by the power of my love for you.
Oh, you killed me and raised me from death again.
I loved you, you loved me…
Oh, you killed me and raised me from death again.
[Verse 3]
Anything that had happened between us (all the memories of that old love), I had forgotten them all.
Your beautiful name had become faded in my book.
I had forgotten all those fine, better days.
But you came and throw a new sunny warmth and heat on the coldness of sunset. (you were like a new warm sunrise after a long cold sunset).
Your love gave me a new life.
Any true miracle does not have any difference with you. (you are a true miracle since your love raised me from death.)
You are my creator after God.
In my solitude and silence, you are the only voice.

I often wonder how my life would have turned out, if my family remained in Iran. We left, shortly after the revolution!!! Not a day goes by that I don’t live in nostalgia of Iran. Us Armenians, had found refuge in Iran. Sadly, we were killed by the turks, but we were loved and protected by Iranians. I was always conflicted how is it turks are Muslims and wanted us dead, but Muslim Iranians respected us. That is a true sentiment that religion isn’t the catalyst to my quandary, but rather Iranians are absolutely beautiful people. Iran joon, I shall always miss you and your warmth!
God Bless you all ♥️
