Issa Boulos composed "Yallī Hajartū al-Dār (Those Who Left Home)" in 2001 while in Palestine, witnessing the onset of the second Intifada. With lyrics by Mahmoud Abu Hashhash, this evocative piece highlights the profound impact of immigration on Palestinians, weaving themes of exile, alienation, memory, and nostalgia. The full lyrics are also included as a separate entry. The translation of the song is included in the CD booklet.
