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.

Googoosh Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
پیرهن ابرو درید
رفت و گم شد تو غرور
رفت و از همه برید
اون که روی عاشقی
طرح دلتنگی کشید
جفت پر شکستشو
توی تنهایی ندید
هر پر پاکم روی یه سنگه
هریه پری که رخت تو بود
حالا واسه خاک رختی قشنگه
توی واپسین نفستو یادمی هم پرواز
باز تو میتونی فقط باشی برام نفس ساز
بیا هم هوای من، برای من صمیمی
منو از اینجاببر، تو ای جفت قدیمی
من،اون پرنده ام، گنگ و خسته
هر پر پاکم روی یه سنگه
هریه پری که رخت تو بود
حالا واسه خاک رختی قشنگه
من هنوز تشنهء نورم، تشنهء دشت خورشید
زود بیا که باد غربت، همهء پرامو چید
بیا هم هوای من، فقط تویی صمیمی
منو از اینجاببر، تو ای جفت قدیمی
من،اون پرنده ام، گنگ و خسته
هر پر پاکم روی یه سنگه
هریه پری که رخت تو بود
حالا واسه خاک رختی قشنگه

The lyrics of Googoosh's song "Mah Peeshoonee" reflect on the theme of lost love and pain associated with it. The opening lines refer to a bird that takes away the pride and disappears leaving nothing but distress behind. The following lines describe the memory of a lover who had a painful image of his beloved in his heart. The bird's wings broke up in solitude and flew away leaving him vulnerable and exhausted.
The song's protagonist sees himself as that bird, crippled and tired. He acknowledges that every time he tries to rise again, he feels like he's hitting his wings on the stones. He remembers how every feather that he owned was once a piece of his beloved's clothing, but now they are all he has left. The song addresses the lost love in the form of the bird who is no longer capable of flying but is still seeking its way back to its home.
Overall, "Mah Peeshoonee" is a melancholic and emotional song that reflects on the pain of lost love and the memories that remain. It offers a glimpse of hope for a reunion, but the song's protagonist is still struggling to find his way back to his beloved.

I hope this can help a bit, however, it's far more beautiful in Persian.
For the innocent dream of love
let's make a bed of flowers
For the departure of fright at nightfall
let's build a bridge with our bodies
Let's build an awning made of melodies
for the sleep of silk
With your romantic language let's make
salve for the wounds of night
Let us share our solitude
in between the cloth of your night with me
Let our hands among us
be a bridge for us to sacrifice
Let us share our solitude
in between the cloth of your night with me
Let our hands among us
be a bridge for us to sacrifice
I know you, you wakeful lover
You're familiar with the watchword of my night
I can tell from the sorrow in your eyes
that you're from the tribe of people with love and passion
I know you, you lone thinker
Don't be unfamiliar with my sob
Leave your broken body to
the caress of my adoring hands
Let us share our solitude
in between the cloth of your night with me
Let our hands among us
be a bridge for us to sacrifice
Let us share our solitude
in between the cloth of your night with me
Let our hands among us
be a bridge for us to sacrifice
What letter and words are you looking for?
Your silence talks for itself
I knew you once I heard you heartbeat
Your heart is the kind lovers have
With a dress made of petals and kisses
you took me to the celebration of light and mirror
Why to fear the nightly shadows,
when you gave me the sun
Let us share our solitude
in between the cloth of your night with me
Let our hands among us
be a bridge for us to sacrifice
Let us share our solitude
in between the cloth of your night with me
Let our hands among us
be a bridge for us to sacrifice
let's not let the foggy roads
take me- a passenger from you
Help me so the exhausted pigeons
wouldn't die on the frozen branch
let's ask the passengers who are in love
where to find kindness
help us to stay together
help us to die for each other
Let us share our solitude
in between the cloth of your night with me
Let our hands among us
be a bridge for us to sacrifice
Let us share our solitude
in between the cloth of your night with me
Let our hands among us
be a bridge for us to sacrifice

What a beautiful song and what a beautiful voice! The Persian language is very beautiful. It is as melodious as Italian is.
Yasser Muzaffar
I envy all of you who understand the language, I don't understand anything she says yet I am captivated by this legendary artist

I'm lucky enough to know a wonderful iranian friend who tried to translate Googoosh songs for me in French. Indeed, the translations are far, far from the beauty of this language. Thanks anyway.

Yesss exactly, so beautiful
