Ḥabbaitik (I Loved You) by Issa Boulos is an evocative song reflecting on his teenage years of love intertwined with the complexities of life. Boulos wrote this song about his teenage years, falling in love, but failing to recognize that his girlfriend wanted a normal relationship, not one that is hindered by politics, concern for the future of the homeland, and engagement in resistance. She wanted just love, not a mediated relationship. The full lyrics are also included as a separate entry. The translation of the song is included in the CD booklet.
