The title of the song 'Habaytak Bel Saif' means "I loved you in the summer."

Despite Lebanon’s diversity, the iconic singer Fayrouz (Nouhad Wadie Haddad) remains a unifying figure, cherished by all. She never left Lebanon, even during difficult times.

I have heard "Habaytak Bel Saif" since my earliest childhood in Lebanon. It is about waiting for a loved one who may never come—only receiving a letter that became unreadable in the rain. It is about waiting for better times, through the seasons of summer and winter.

I love summer in the Netherlands, but only in Lebanon is the weather warm enough all year round. That is what I think of when I hear this song.

I am from Lebanon and came to Enschede, the Netherlands, for love.
