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.

با اون همه قولو قرارو پیمون
که با من غم زده داشتی رفتی
می خواستی از تنهایی دورم کنی
اما منو تنها گذاشتی رفتی
پس اون همه وعده که دادی چی شد
گفتی خدا تو رو به من رسونده
رفتی که شرم از خدا نکردی
برو ولی هر جا باشی
هر جای این دنیا باشی
یه روزی پیدات می کنم
نگاه تو چشمات می کنم
راز تو رو پیش همه
می گمو رسوات می کنم
با اون همه قولو قرارو پیمون
که با من غم زده داشتی رفتی
می خواستی از تنهایی دورم کنی
اما منو تنها گذاشتی رفتی
برو ولی یادت باشه که با من
از روز اول تو وفا نداشتی
گفتی خدا گواه دوست دارم
تو گفتی اما به خدا نداشتی
اون روزا یادت نمیاد که گفتی
اگر بری غم واسه من میمونه
یادت بیاد گفته بودی به جز تو
راز تو رو فقط خدا میدونه
برو ولی هر جا باشی
هر جای این دنیا باشی
یه روزی پیدات می کنم
نگاه تو چشمات می کنم
راز تو رو پیش همه
می گمو رسوات می کنم
با اون همه قولو قرارو پیمون
که با من غم زده داشتی رفتی
می خواستی از تنهایی دورم کنی
اما منو تنها گذاشتی رفتی
با اون همه قولو قرارو پیمون
که با من غم زده داشتی رفتی
می خواستی از تنهایی دورم کنی
اما منو تنها گذاشتی رفتی

با اون همه قولو قرارو پیمون
With all those promises and agreements you deceived me
که با من غم زده داشتی رفتی
You left me sad, despite causing me so much pain
می خواستی از تنهایی دورم کنی
You wanted to save me from loneliness
اما منو تنها گذاشتی رفتی
But you left me alone and went away
پس اون همه وعده که دادی چی شد
So what happened to all the promises you made?
رفتی وعدتو وفا نکردی
You went away without fulfilling your promises
گفتی خدا تو رو به من رسونده
You said that God has bestowed you upon me
رفتی که شرم از خدا نکردی
But you left without any shame towards God
برو ولی هر جا باشی
Go, but wherever you may be
هر جای این دنیا باشی
Wherever you may exist in this world
یه روزی پیدات می کنم
One day, I will find you
نگاه تو چشمات می کنم
I will look deep into your eyes
راز تو رو پیش همه
And reveal your secret to everyone
می گمو رسوات می کنم
I will tell the truth and get my revenge
برو ولی یادت باشه که با من
Go, but remember that with me
از روز اول تو وفا نداشتی
You never kept your loyalty from the very beginning
گفتی خدا گواه دوست دارم
You said that God is your witness, and you love me
تو گفتی اما به خدا نداشتی
But you never really meant it, in front of God
اون روزا یادت نمیاد که گفتی
Do you not remember those days when you said
اگر بری غم واسه من میمونه
'If you leave, the pain will stay with me'
یادت بیاد گفته بودی به جز تو
Remember, you said that no one else knows your secret
راز تو رو فقط خدا میدونه
But only God knows your secret
