Ghalat Omri
غلط عمري
Hussam Al Rassam
The song was released in 2013 as part of his album Kool Ma Ahebak.
The song tells the story of unrequited love. The protagonist reproaches his beloved for rejecting him or calling him “old,” when in reality it is the suffering caused by his love for her that has turned his hair grey and made him age prematurely.

The mistake of my life
I am young
I am as young as you are
Don’t tell me, “You’re old.”
Was I the one who rocked your cradle?
I am young, the mistake of my life.
I am young, the mistake of my life.
I am young, the mistake of my life.
I am as young as you are
Don’t tell me, “You’re old.”
Was I the one who rocked your cradle?

I am as young as you are.
No, no, don’t tell me,
“You’re old.” Was I the one who rocked your cradle?
Because of you, my love, my hair has turned white.
Because of you, my love, my hair has turned white.
And on top of that, you say,
“I don’t want him, I don’t want him, I don’t want him, I don’t want him,
I don’t want him, I don’t want him, I don’t want him.
”If I see you with someone else,
it hurts me as much as the whole universe
.On a day when I don’t see you,
I age ten years.
If I see you with someone else, it hurts me as much as the whole universe.
On a day when I don’t see you,
I age ten years.
You call me “old,” but what do I have to do with old men?
You call me “old,” but what do I have to do with old men?
And on top of that, you say,
“I don’t want him, I don’t want him, I don’t want him, I don’t want him.”
For the grey hairs on my head,
I thank God.
But you would tear your clothes in grief if one day
I showed you the grey hairs in my heart.
For the grey hairs on my head,
I thank God.
But you would tear your clothes in grief if one day
I showed you the grey hairs in my heart.
This heart of mine that you did not love, you are responsible for everything that happens to it.

El error de mi vida, soy joven
Soy tan joven como tú
No me digas “eres viejo”
¿Acaso fui yo quien meció tu cuna?
Soy joven, el error de mi vida,

Mi tallo es verde como el tuyo,
No me digas “eres viejo”,
¿Acaso fui yo quien meció tu cuna?

Soy tan joven como tú.
No, no me digas “eres viejo”,

Por tu culpa, oh vida mía,
mi cabello se ha vuelto blanco.

mi cabello se ha vuelto blanco.
Y encima dices: “No lo quiero,
no lo quiero, no lo quiero, no lo quiero,
no lo quiero, no lo quiero, no lo quiero”.
Si te veo con otra persona,
me duele tanto como el universo entero.
El día en que no te veo,
Envejezco diez años.

Me llamas “viejo”,
¿y qué tengo que ver con los viejos?

Agradezco a Dios por las canas que tengo en la cabeza,
Pero te rasgarías la ropa si algún día
te mostrara las canas que tengo en el corazón.

Este corazón mío que no amaste,
eres responsable de todo lo que le sucede
