Dunya bihorî xezalê, mernabû wa gennî. The world has passed, Gazelle, life didn't remain... [obscure phrase].
Ne gunehê xelkê kîbar, pêş çavêm herimî. It is not the sin of the noble people, it was forbidden before my eyes.

Erê cemaeta şêrîn, silav û rêz ji we ra dişînim, ji gundê Qestelê. Yes, sweet gathering, I send you greetings and respect from the village of Qestel.
Biro vîdyoya me li gundê Qestelê ye. Brother, our video is in the village of Qestel.
Em dibên silav û rêz ji we ra, miletekî pir delal e û miletekî pir kîbar e. We say greetings and respect to you, it is a very lovely people and a very noble people.
Lê cewla me, em digerin, em derbazî malek delal bûn. In our tour, we are walking around, we entered a lovely house.
Noka emê wan naskirin bidin. Now we will introduce them.
Mala wan jî pir xweş e, mala wan jî kevnar e. Their house is very nice, their house is also ancient.
Û gelek tiştê antîke tê da hene, wekî tiştê fodel tê da hene. And there are many antique things inside, things of virtue are inside.
Berî vê derkê, em jam xalê xwe ne. Before that segment, we are with our uncle.
Xwedê jê razî be û emrek dirêj bidê. May God be pleased with him and give him a long life.

Ser sed malî ye... ser sedî ye. It is over a hundred houses... it is over a hundred.
Yanî teqrîben ser sed mal heye. Meaning there are approximately over a hundred houses.
Pêncî... sed û pêncî mal rihet heye. Fifty... one hundred and fifty houses easily exist.
Sed û pêncî mal? One hundred and fifty houses?
Teqrîben em dibên sed û pêncî mal heye. Approximately we say there are one hundred and fifty houses.
Silav û rêz ji tek tek ra, malbatî giya em dibên Xwedê saeta xweş bide. Greetings and respect to each and every one, to all the families we say may God grant a good time.
Lê xalo, milet li vî gundî çi karî dike? Çi işî dike? Ko ji me ra xeber de. So uncle, what work do the people in this village do? What job do they do? Tell us about it.
Muşekel û melewane. İstaz... istaz hene. It is mixed and [diverse]. Teachers... there are teachers.
Ji kevinda mekteb li vî gundî hebû. Since ancient times there was a school in this village.
Xwendina di vî gundî... xuca tînan silav... ji xuca kirin istaz. Reading in this village... teachers brought greetings... from teaching became masters.
Museqefê xwe pir in... hene li vî gundî. Its intellectuals are many... there are in this village.
Rûspiyê xwe pir bûn... Xwedê rehma xwe li giya bike. Its elders were many... God have mercy on all of them.

Noka jî... noka jî... gund... gund zarfî ma... gund zarfî ma, pir rind e vî gundî. Even now... even now... the village... the village remains elegant... the village remains elegant, this village is very good.
Gundekî ji kevn da... mal... yanî xonadan in, malbat in. A village since old times... houses... meaning they are noble, they are families.
Ê... yanî xelk hezî hev dikin, gundî qîsim dikin. Uh... meaning people love each other, the villagers share/swear [loyalty].
Gundî qîsim... Villagers share/swear...
Rind in... miletê xwe hez dikin. They are good... they love their people.
Ji... hem miletê xwe hez dikin, ji zimanê xwe hez dikin, ji axa xwe hez dikin. Of... they both love their people, they love their language, they love their land.
Ez dibêm Kurmanc gîş ji axa xwe hez dikin û miletê xwe hez dikin. Serî me pê bilind e. I say all Kurds love their land and love their people. Our heads are high with it.
Elhemdulîlah. Praise be to God.
Xalê min, te çi kar dikir berê? Te noka çi kar dikî? Ko ji me ra xeber de. My uncle, what work did you do before? What work do you do now? Tell us about it.
Karê min? My work?
Ee. Yes.
Karê min, ez xudanê vê malê bûm. My work, I was the master of this house.
Û qîçikê xwe min xwedî dan. And I raised my children.
Çar law bûn, çar qîz bûn. Ji heşta... bes yekî şehade nebirin. There were four boys, four girls. Of the eight... only one didn't get a degree.
Zorê xwe girt da ber ilm... qîçikê xwe girt... xwendina cami'î û şehade kirin. I put my effort into education... took my children... they did university studies and got degrees.
Elweh xebitîm. I worked hard [for that].
Li wê şûndê... ew hebû, şixulê min ew hebû. After that... that was it, that was my job.
Wekî te kêfçî bû ma ro, qîçikê xwe berî giyê, hew zexîra maro ye. As you were happy with us, your children are before everything, that is our store/wealth.
Rast e. It is true.
Qîçikê maro zexîra maro ne. Our children are our store/wealth.
Xalê min, yanî te bi şûl, te ji ilm hez dikir? Te hîç qîçikbûna xwe da, lîseya babok hebû? My uncle, meaning regarding work, did you love knowledge? In your childhood at all, did you have high school?
Sebebê ku bavê min... rehmetî... li ilm hez dikir. The reason is that my father... the late one... loved knowledge.
Lewra ilm tune bû wî zemanî... zemanê... berî... zemanê teqrîben... hezar û neh sed î... Because there was no education in that time... the time... before... the time approximately... one thousand nine hundred...
Tarîxa mîladî. The AD date.
Lewra çû heft sala li Tirkiyê... li ewê xwend... li Entabê xwend... Therefore he went seven years in Turkey... studied there... studied in Antep...
Bû ji ilm hez dikirim. I became loving of knowledge.
Bavêke gundişvan... A villager father...
Bavê min sê ziman dizanîn. Tirkî jî dizanî, Fransî jî dizanî, Kurmancî jî dizanî û Erebî jî dizanî. Çar ziman. My father knew three languages. He knew Turkish, he knew French, he knew Kurmanji and he knew Arabic. Four languages.
Bavê min hez dikir... ji xwendinê. My father loved... reading.
Qîçikê xwe jî... em heft birok bûn. My children too... we were seven brothers [siblings].
Heft birok... ma... Seven brothers... so...
Sisiya xudan cami'î bûn... i mezin... li kulîyet polîs şerta de bû. Three were university graduates... the eldest... was in the police college.
Li Misirê zemanê Wehdê çû. He went to Egypt during the time of the Union.
Wê de jî... yekî... istaz Mehmûd... zirae bû... yekî filan... bû tûnî bû. There too... one... Master Mahmoud... was in agriculture... one so-and-so... was [Tunisian/Tuni?].
Berî giya baweriya xwe dabû ser ilm. Ser xwendinê. Before all, he had put his faith in knowledge. In reading.
Xalê min... yanî te bi şûl, te tiştek li ko xwest, te gîştava cî anî? My uncle... meaning regarding work, did you achieve everything you wanted?
Ez hatim sefî nehê xwendî, min nebirî. I came and studied until ninth grade, I didn't finish.
Te nebir. You didn't finish.
Qîçikê min heşt bûn. My children were eight.
Çar law, çar qîzik. Four boys, four girls.
Ji heşta, ê mezin... xwendin serî ne kir. Of the eight, the eldest... didn't complete the education.
Lê xalê min, xîtamê... ko te milet ra dibê çi... te çi aqlê te tê ma? So my uncle, in conclusion... what do you say to the people... what comes to your mind?
Aqlê ha... bibe weledim... The mind huh... let it be my child...
Nifşê... nûyîn... cîlê ecar in... pir digerin û fitilin e... The generation... new... the current generation... wander and roam a lot...
Ewa jî... temamiya xwe... wextê xwe... diye... filan kirin... They too... their completeness... their time... gave... did so-and-so...
Em, em xêrxwazê miletê xwe ne, malê xwe ne, miletê xwe ne, axa xwe ne. We, we are well-wishers of our people, our home, our nation, our land.
Kurmanc... Kurmanc ji axa xwe hez dikin û miletê xwe hez dikin. Serî me pê bilind e. Kurds... Kurds love their land and love their people. Our heads are high with it.

Ew wekî teskar e, belgarî ya bofkî me dcihê kiçikê, belgarî hanê wek hediye. That is like a decoration, a Bulgarian [style] from my grandfather for the place of the daughter, like a gift.
Ser texta, ew ne bi şewtandinê çêkirine. On the wood, haven't they made that by burning?
Ew bi şewtandinê te çêkirine? Did you make that by burning?
A, bi şewtandinê çêkirine. Yes, it is made by burning.
Eywa. I see.
Maşallah, lê zemanê berê hosa nebû, ya emî dûr têda bûn. Mashallah, but in the old times it wasn't like this, the general ones were simpler.
Bi diqan tirme bî? Was it with a "Diqan tirme"? [asking about a specific tool/part]
Çor parçe bûn. They were four pieces.
Emê xal sual bikin, ka vê qentermê ser çi hotine çêkirin? Let's ask the uncle, what was this "Qenterma" (bridle bit) made for?
Li çuna hesp û kewran û kera û keran? For the movement of horses and mules and donkeys?
Ev na qenterma sêla... dema didin bine... gur ezanim. No, this Qenterma... when they put it under... I think it's for force.
Ser vî kewrê çêdikin, digrin, kewr digînin, hef paşî wê demê jê bibin, derdixin. They fix it on this rock, they hold it, they reach the rock, then after that time they take it off, take it out.
Kewir d'şikênî. It breaks the rock.
Û parçê tev mekin di devî da heye. And there is a solid metal piece inside the mouth.
Eywa. I see.
Yanî pir mal xera bîne, qenterma maye. Meaning, many homes have been destroyed, but the Qenterma remains.

Em li gunda digerin, em teswîr dikin. We travel through villages, we film.
Laêş gundên me yên xweş miji-mij nedin, bîr nekin. Lê bi rengekî xweş, em derdikevin ser televizyonê dera. Tê çi bibêje? So that our lovely villages don't fade away, aren't forgotten. But in a nice way, we appear on the screen. What do you say?
Ez spasya we dikim. I thank you.
Sax be. Thank you.
No meselen zorokên mecbûr çûne. Hinik yek salî bûn, no meselen panzdeh salî ne. For example, the children were forced to leave. Some were one year old, now for example they are fifteen.
Ew na nasin... They don't know...
Gundê xwe nedîtine. They haven't seen their village.
Gundê xwe nedîtine. Nizanim, belkî gundê kê derê çiye... They haven't seen their village. They don't know, maybe [they don't know] where that village is...

Yaha li dûr be, erê. Or it might be far away, yes.
Meselen Xwedê nake jar xeberdan, wek hîzê lawê min nika sî salî ye. For example, God forbid bad news, like now my son is thirty years old.
Erê. Yes.
Ew bavikê xwe dibê, ezbenî ezbenî... He tells his father, sir, sir...
Dibê ez ji wir im, çi qewm e? Meselen em ji funûn derketin, ew jî bûn, bes ez ji wir im. He says 'I am from there', what people? For example, we went out for studies, they also became [something], but I am from there.
Mena xwe, ev kişandina sûretê di gund da, û mentîqê me, welatê me, diderên. Navê xwe Efrîn e, bi navê gêl e, bes bi xwe Kurdax e. Our meaning, taking these pictures in the village, and our region, our country, they appear. Its name is Afrin, publicly, but itself it is Kurdagh (Kurdish Mountain).

Erê. Yes.
Ê feş, vê toreyê, vê sûretan hin derdixîn, derbavê, milletê me yê li derbavê... So, these traditions, these images bring out... outside, our nation that is outside...
Keçik e, kêf dike, didê ber dilê xwe. No welatê kî me ye mî, millet neha, elhemdulila, dar in, tên û wûr û pûjî. The girl is happy, she rejoices, takes it to heart. It is our country, the nation now, thank God, they are trees, with branches and roots.
Erê. Yes.
Meselen, deh salî naho bîst salî bî ye. Yanê ê pê bifikirê, rûkê ware welatê xwe, her sewa li kû rûnê, ew her ê wera ye. For example, ten years or twenty years. That is, think about it, the roots of his country, wherever he settles, they are from there.
Lê bi rengekî xweş, em belav dikin. But in a nice way, we broadcast it.
Erê, belav dikin. Wek Lubnan di wextê da, xêr pêş de çûyî, leynî milletê xwe zû çû Ewropa, zû çû dinê. Yes, broadcast it. Like Lebanon at one time, good people progressed, because our people went to Europe early, went to the world early.
Hat û diçû, pir ji me pêştir bûn. Yanê milletê Sûrî diçû wûr dişuxilî, ew jî diçûn li Amerîka û Ewropa dişuxilîn. They came and went, they were much ahead of us. Meaning the Syrian nation went there to work, they also went to work in America and Europe.
Aqil hecer radikirin. Wisdom was lifting stones (Meaning: They gained wisdom/experience).
Yanê aqil jî radikirin, bînayê Lubnanê pak bî, hadaratê wan pak bî. Fe, ê me Kurdax, biraximî yanê çiqa eşq û elem li ser me ra çû... Meaning they gained wisdom too, Lebanon's buildings were clean, their civilization was clean. So, as for us Kurds, despite whatever love and pain passed over us...
Dîsa yanê... geraktor tinnebûn, rêk tinnebûn... Again... there were no tractors, there were no roads...
...mekanî, vê cînografî, hişt vî dor ber kirin. Yanê ber e, gic e, ma 'ardîd hişk bûn. Min 'ada wê deştê. ...the place, this geography, was maintained around here. Meaning stone, pebble, our land was hard. I mean the custom of that plain.
Rast e. True.
No pişta Ba'dîna. Behind Baadina.
Erê. Yes.
Û heta di peşiya Ba'dîna ra tê derê, pişta Ereban, cûr bi cûr in, yanê her heta çoyê xwestiyê û vê welatê me, teslîm tinnebûn, 'ard û nî hişk bûn.

Em kanin bêjin, av li gundî nîne, yanî mîzata gundê Qesim çiye? We can say, there is no water in the village, meaning what is the characteristic of Qesim village?
Li gundê Qesim, ne wek her gund e, yanî em di ortê da cî digrin. Qesim village is not like every other village, meaning we are located in the middle.

Tiştê dinî mumeyyez di orta vî çiyayî da, kevir li cematê tunene. The other distinguished thing in the middle of this mountain is that there are no stones in the community [village soil].
Yanî mîzata gundê Qesim raste, bi e'tîbar em gundê çiya ne. Meaning the characteristic of Qesim village is flat, considering we are a mountain village.
Dûr çerma çiya ye, bes... Around the perimeter is mountain, but...
Dûr çerma çiya ye, bes kevir nav gundê me tunene. Around the perimeter is mountain, but there are no stones inside our village.
Di gund da kevir tunene? Kêim e, yan o tune? There are no stones in the village? Is it scarce, or none at all?
