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.

کبوترا خسته میشن میان تو ایوون میشینن
آینه ها چشم منو یه حوض پر آب می بینن
گلهای قالی همه بهارو تو خواب می بینن
میدونم یه روز میای همین روزا دیر نمیشه
دل عاشق تا هزار سال دیگه پیر نمیشه
میدونم یه روز میای همین روزا دیر نمیشه
دیگه آفتاب می میره شب بوی مهتاب نمیده
سال بیاد بره کسی به گلدونا آب نمیده
آسمون ستاره هاشو دیگه از یاد میبره
پیرهن سبز بهارو با خودش باد میبره
میدونم یه روز میای همین روزا دیر نمیشه
دل عاشق تا هزار سال دیگه پیر نمیشه
میدونم یه روز میای همین روزا دیر نمیشه
دل عاشق تا هزار سال دیگه پیر نمیشه
زندگی بی تو مثه ابره که زود بارون میشه
اگه آدم کوه باشه از غصه ها داغون میشه
دیگه اون وقت واسه کی غصه بگه لبای من
دوست دارن ابرا همه گریه کنن برای من
میدونم یه روز میای همین روزا دیر نمیشه
دل عاشق تا هزار سال دیگه پیر نمیشه
The lyrics to Googoosh's song "Midoonam Yeh Rooz Miay" describe the sense of longing and anticipation for a loved one's return. The first verse paints a picture of sadness and desolation, with birds sitting out in the rain, tired doves resting in eaves and crystal clear mirrors showing the singer's melancholic gaze. These images also suggest a sense of vulnerability and fragility, with the flowers in the carpet dreaming of spring. All of this sets up the chorus, a repeated statement that the singer knows that one day their love will return, and that they cannot bear to wait much longer. The second verse continues with evocative images of loss, as the sun fades and the moon's glow fades away, the seasons change and no one waters the plants in the pots, and the stars in the sky are forgotten. The green garment of spring flies away with the wind, leaving just a sense of emptiness and loneliness behind.
The bridge of the song returns to the central theme of longing, with the singer comparing life without their love to a cloud that soon turns into rain. Even if a person were made of stone or iron, they would fall apart without their love. The final lines of the song reveal the singer's ultimate desire - for the clouds (metaphors for emotions) to weep for her, or for the world to cry for her.
The lyrics to "Midoonam Yeh Rooz Miay" are a powerful evocation of romantic longing and the unshakeable belief in the return of love. Through the imagery of birds and their freedom, mirrors and reflection, as well as natural elements like rain and the changing of the seasons, the song manages to transcend the personal and become a statement about the human condition. It speaks to that moment in all of our lives when we have lost someone, and the only thing that can keep us going is the belief that someday they will come back.
