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.

دروغ نگیم به همدیگه
دوسم داری دوست دارم
اینو چشامون به هم میگه
شمعی توی سقا خونه
یادم باشه روشن کنم
یادم باشه فقط برات
رخت عروسی تن کنم
دروغ نگیم به همدیگه
دوسم داری دوست دارم
اینو چشامون به هم میگه
یادت باشه با تو همه
تو خونه ما دشمنن
از صبح تا شب پشت سرت
حرفای ناجور میزنن
یادم باشه این بار اگه
دیدم دارن باز بد میگن
بگم دارن با دستاشون
واسه دلم گور میکنن
یادم باشه یادت باشه
دروغ نگیم به همدیگه
دوسم داری دوست دارم
اینو چشامون به هم میگه
یادم باشه یادت باشه
دروغ نگیم به همدیگه
دوسم داری دوست دارم
اینو چشامون به هم میگه
یادت باشه هر چی میگم
از دل و جون گوش بکنی
یادت باشه یه وقت نری
منو سیاه پوش بکنی
یادم باشه یادت باشه
دروغ نگیم به همدیگه
دوسم داری دوست دارم
اینو چشامون به هم میگه
یادت باشه عهدمون و
رو تک درختی نکنیم
رو قلبمون جا بذاریم
حرفی که می خوایم بزنیم
یادت باشه گوش نکنیم
به حرف مردم گذر
یادم باشه یه شب با هم
بریم از اینجا بی خبر
یادم باشه یادت باشه
دروغ نگیم به همدیگه
دوسم داری دوست دارم
اینو چشامون به هم میگه
یادم باشه یادت باشه
دروغ نگیم به همدیگه
دوسم داری دوست دارم
اینو چشامون به هم میگه
یادم باشه یادت باشه
دروغ نگیم به همدیگه
دوسم داری دوست دارم
اینو چشامون به هم میگه
