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 ↴
شهر خاموش دلم رو تو پر آوازه كردی
آتش این عشق كهنه دیگه خاكستری بود
اومدی وقتی تو سینه نفس آخری بود
به عشق تو زنده بودم منو كشتی
دوباره زنده كردی
دوست داشتم دوسم داشتی منو كشتی
دوباره زنده كردی
من به غیر از خوبی تو مگه حرفی می زنم
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 كشتی
دوباره زنده كردی
دوستت داشتم دوستم داشتی منو كشتی
دوباره زنده كردی
رفته بود هر چی كه داشتیم دیگه از خاطر من
كهنه شد اسم قشنگت میون دفتر من
من فراموش كرده بودم همه روزای خوبو
اومدی آفتابی كردی 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 كشتی
دوباره زنده كردی
دوستت داشتم دوستم داشتی منو كشتی
دوباره زنده كردی

داغ یك عشق قدیمو اومدی تازه کردی
You reignited an old love that had cooled off
شهر خاموش دلم رو تو پر آوازه کردی
You brought life to my silent city
آتش این عشق کهنه دیگه خاکستری بود
The fire of this old love had turned to ashes
اومدی وقتی تو سینه نفس آخری بود
You came when I was taking my last breath
به عشق تو زنده بودم منو کشتی
I was alive because of your love, and you rescued me
دوباره زنده کردی
You brought me back to life again
دوست داشتم دوسم داشتی منو کشتی
You loved me and cared for me, and you rescued me
تا تویی تنها بهانه واسه زنده بودنم
As long as you're here, you are the only reason for me to live
من به غیر از خوبی تو مگه حرفی می زنم
Other than your goodness, I have nothing else to talk about
عشقت به من داد عمر دوباره
Your love gave me a second life
معجزه با تو فرقی نداره
With you, everything is possible
تو خالق من بعد از خدایی
You're my creator, after God
در خلوت من تنها صدایی
In my solitude, you're the only sound
رفته بود هر چی که داشتیم دیگه از خاطر من
Everything we had was gone from my memory
كهنه شد اسم قشنگت میون دفتر من
The beautiful name of yours among my notes had become old
من فراموش كرده بودم همه روزای خوبو
I had forgotten about all the good days
اومدی آفتابی كردی تن سرد غروبو
You came and turned the cold sunset into a sunny day
