Erê. Êêê... mûna ka şebab deryin, me sefe... Yes. Uh... now the youth are outside [abroad], unfortunately...
Me kinin mewadê xwe. Ne bi hormona taye. Em dikin şûna fewata. We don't put [chemicals] in our ingredients. Not with hormones. We put it in the place of death [natural].
Mame çûndina berê... bes fewat bîn, em dikevine şûna gindikan. Regarding the way of the past... as long as there was death, we would fall into the place of the little villages.
Merheba miletekî buha û delal. Ez hatim bi vîdyoyekî xweş û vîdyoyekî ecêb. Hello precious and dear nation. I came with a nice video and a wonderful video.

Wek deh û du... musaqef me hebûn, bekelorya wergirtin. About ten or two [twelve?]... we had educated ones, they obtained the Baccalaureate.
Gundê Birîmce pir ecyal derxistin. The village of Brimja produced many generations.
Pir ecyal derxistin. Û lezel. It produced many generations. And until eternity.

Xalê Henîf, em niha dixwazin tiştekî ji me ra xeber de, di heyata te da derbas bûyî û heyata niha te bîr nekirî. Uncle Henîf, we now want you to tell us something that passed in your life and you haven't forgotten in life now.
Û tu ji me ra xeber de, însanekî dilê me sar dikin, guneh û be'l min, ewê gulê min in, însan nesîbê xweşbînê neke. And tell us, [about] a person who cools our hearts [hurts us], my sins and bad luck, those are my complaints, a person shouldn't make their fate optimistic [in vain].
Ez dixwazin tiştek di heyata te da derbas bûyî, tu ji me ra xeber de, eger rind be, eger ne rind be, tu ji me ra xeber de, ku em te bîr nekirî heyata niha û ke em jî pê ra bin. I want something that passed in your life, tell us about it, whether it was good, whether it was not good, tell us, that you haven't forgotten until now so that we can be with it [understand it] too.
Welle, tiştê me jibîr nekirî... da berê, seqafe hindik bû, û xelk gil palê bû, li şixra bû, li car cara bûn, ewa xweşbîna dinyayê noka rind bî ye. Well, the thing we haven't forgotten... back then, education was scarce, and people were all laborers, in forced labor, in hard times, regarding the optimism of the world, now it has become good.
Vê çaxê dinya... texellef bû, noka rind bî ye. At that time the world... was backward, now it has become good.
Û însanek li vî gundî hebû, şimara dihat, êvarê çêrokê wel didan. Heta sibê me xew nedikir, me guh lîyê çêrokê dikir. And there was a person in this village, coming at night, in the evening he told stories like that. Until morning we didn't sleep, we listened to the stories.
Çêrnûka difirûşo... Navê rehmetî jî Cemîlê Wehîd bû. Selling stories... The name of the deceased was Cemîlê Wehîd.
Çêrnûka wel didan, te bes qiloqê xwe ser dan. He told stories in such a way, you just rested your head on it [listened intently].
Qosî xweş ewle didan, ne radyo hebûn, ne tilfîzyon, tişt tunebûn yanî. He told them so beautifully, there were no radios, no televisions, there was nothing, meaning.
Hêşta dinya her çû... rind bû noka. Still, the world kept going... it is good now.
Û tiştê me ji gundê hilînanî, yanî me yekşûl jê hilînan... mesele firoşo çêkir, û hevalê gundê çêkirin, û diboqa çêkir, û heta vê çaxê... baş xora gulê dinê de... ê bû pêncî sal me jibîr kir. And the things we picked up from the village, meaning we picked up a craft... for example making shoes [footwear], and village friends made them, and making specialized shoes, and until that time... well, putting it in the words of the world... it's been fifty years [since] we forgot it.
He, heyata me da hev derbas bû. Yes, in our life it passed like that.
Wekî din, karê me pale bû, şixre bû, car car bûn, he. Evê karê dikir. Otherwise, our work was labor, forced labor, hard times, yes. They did this work.
Heyata berê... cefa bû. Life in the past... was suffering.
Cefa bû. Noka bû hêsin... bû hêsin, qûlayî bû. Bes milet nema. It was suffering. Now it has become easy... it became easy, [before] it was slavery. But the people didn't remain.
Milet nema ge... derket derva. Kori qûlayî digerim. Ev işta. The people didn't remain... they went outside [abroad]. I am looking for the son of slavery [hard workers]. That is it.
Xalê Henîf, naha em dixwazin nesîhetekî bidî miletê me. Uncle Henîf, now we want you to give a piece of advice to our people.
Nesîhet, berê digo nesîhet bi hêşterikî ye. Noka fidîhe ye. Advice, before they said advice is [worth] a camel. Now it is a scandal.
Vê şexsî noka, eger vêra bibêjî, bira, ma re şaşe, dibê tu nizanî, tî xerifî ye. This person now, if you say to him, brother, don't walk wrong, he says you don't know, you have become senile.
Yanî ew kêm bûye. Sîqat hindik maye. Meaning that has decreased. Trust remains little.
Sîqat hindik maye û însanê ku dixwazin de nesîha bigirin, ew jî kêm bûne. Trust remains little and people who want to take advice, they have also decreased.
Kêm bûne. Eywa. Yanî nesîhetê gel yekî bikî, dibê her la tî xerifî, ê axerifî me bina gerek, axa nesîhetê nakim. Mesele hewa ye. They have decreased. Yes. Meaning if you give advice to someone, he says go away you are senile, [so I say] I don't need to be senile, sir, I won't give advice. The issue is like that.
Saeta te xweş Xalê Henîf. Bless you Uncle Henîf.
Saeta te xweş, ehlen we sehlen. Bless you, welcome.
Ez pir kêfxweş bûm, îro ez mêvandarê gundê Birîmce bim. I was very happy that today I was a guest of the village of Brimja.

Ê teben, silavê mi ji garan hene, heçî il derva, û gib xêr bin û gib silamet bin. Yes of course, my greetings to the neighbors/all, everyone outside, may they be well and safe.
Gi ti zewicî ye, qîçkê te hene, Xwedê qîçkê te bihêle. Û gi tu ne zewicî, Xwedê yekê bi qismetê te ke. If you are married, you have children, may God keep your children. And if you are not married, may God grant one to your destiny.
Lawik heft in, li derva nin. Yekî li Heleb e, yekî li Holenda ye, sisê li Fransa ne, û didil Almanya ne. The boys are seven, they are outside [abroad]. One is in Aleppo, one is in Holland, three are in France, and two are in Germany.
Î tev... jî hindik... bekelorya û jor da ye. Ê din jî muhendis ne. All of them... are a little... [educated to] Baccalaureate and above. The others are engineers.
Navê wan jî bibêje ji me ra. Tell us their names too.
Navê wan... Their names...
Û ez jî razî me, Xwedê ji wan razî be û Xwedê rizqê wan bişîne. And I am pleased too, may God be pleased with them and God send their provision.
Û Xwedê emrê kî bide te jî, ji wan de jî. And may God give a [long] life to you, and to them too.
Amîn ya. Amen.
Dikinî navî gihenda hewal de û silava ji wan ra bişîne, ey gel te seyr kin, pir kêfxweş bin. You can give all their names and send greetings to them, hey when they watch you, they will be very happy.
Emê ji bîdayê de werin, Şerîf, lawê minî mezin e. Muhendizî kehrabe bû. We will come from the beginning, Şerîf, is my eldest son. He was an electrical engineer.
Wa pir silav dikim, wa pir jê razî me. I greet him a lot, I am very pleased with him.

Didûra Emîr e... Second [Next] is Emîr...
...muraqebê zevî, ew jî muhendis e, ew jî li Rozîme. ...field monitoring, he is also an engineer, he is also at Rozime.
Û yek li Holenda ye, ew jî bekelorya ye, ew jî li Rozîme, min têj Efrîn. And one is in Holland, he also has a bachelor's, he is also at Rozime, I say in Afrin.
Û yekê din li Fransa ye, wî teqrîben nexwend, du-sê sal xwend hindik, ew jî terzî bû. And another one is in France, he almost didn't study, studied two-three years a little, he was a tailor.
Û ê din jî... kuafer bû. And the other one... was a hairdresser.
Ew jî xwend heta bekelorya û paşê jî bû kuafer. He also studied until his bachelor's and then became a hairdresser.
Noka elhemdulila îşê wan rind e, û Xwedê qîzkê te bihêle û wan jî bihêle. Now, praise be to God, their work is good, and may God spare your daughter and spare them too.
Amîn, amîn ya reb. Spas. Amen, amen oh Lord. Thanks.

Dirûnî... Ez giştime, bi parzûn çêdikirin û bi dasê didirûtin. The harvest... I reached it, they used to make finger guards and harvest with the sickle.
Her sê çar parzûn dixistin ser... tiliyên destan. They used to put three or four finger guards on... the fingers of the hands.
Paşê mokîna destan derketin. Later, hand machines came out.
Du destar hebûn, lingan derketin. There were two handles, legs stuck out.
Du ye lingan ra jî, noka yek car hebûn (xerebûn?). Heba çîçke sa’be. Two for the legs too... (unclear). If there were thorns, it was difficult.

Destê we ne diêşiya? Did your hands not hurt?

Hawa, ev e destoya. Like that, this is the style.

E berê kincê xwe jî bi vê mokîna didirûtin? And in the past, did they sew their clothes with this machine?
Erê bi vê mokîna didirûtin, û fîstanê kurmancî... tiştên rewal dingbî. Yanê... Yes, they sewed with this machine, and Kurmanji dresses... colorful things. I mean...
Ew kincên noka pê nabin, noka tegro ecab derketiye der. Those clothes now don't fit/aren't used, now strange fashion has come out.
Derket der? Came out?
Lê tegro noka, gî xwa dikin. Tiştê berê çûn, noka tegro git derket der. Yes, fashion now, they all do it. Things of the past are gone, now all the fashion has come out.
Fîstanê kurmancî çêdikirin? Did they make Kurmanji dresses?
E bi kurmancî, e bi nav, e ribe, el-muhîm. Tûmbetûn yani. Yes in Kurmanji style, with names, with lining, anyway. All kinds I mean.
Noka dîsa veitilî wek berê. Now it has turned back like the past.
Noka dîsa... Now again...
Erê pantorê xwe dikin, noka dîsa gî bî fîstan. Yes they wear their pants, now again everything has become dresses.
Fîstan rind in, lê? Dresses are good, no?
Lê rind in, lê. Tiştê, ewî kurmanc e. Kurmanc ewî xwe ji bîr nake. Yes they are good, yes. The thing, that is Kurmanji. A Kurd does not forget their own.
Tu çiqas bikî, Kurmanc ewî xwe ji bîr nake. No matter how much you do, a Kurd doesn't forget their own.
Xaltîka Sebah em dixwazin tu ji me ra xeber de, ser berê, we dilîst, kêfa berê we çawa dilîst? Auntie Sabah, we want you to tell us about the past, how you played, the fun of the past, how did you play?
Welle berê... lîstikê me "kevir" hebû. Well, in the past... our game was "stones" (jacks).
"Şîş kompanya" ser hebû. "Xîta" hebû. There was "Six Companies". There was "Rope".
Ê em... tişta dilîstin. Heta deh-yanzde şev em... şirtûnek dilîstin. And we... played things. Until ten-eleven at night we... played a game.
Û ji wê şûnda jî, bitûşê me qebir dan ser hevdu. Qîzik kom dibûn rûyê êdê. And after that, in our gatherings we put things together. Girls gathered for the holidays.
Û li bar maleke diskinîn û dilîstin. And stood in front of a house and played.
Û xanîk çêdikirin. Hefte ezîme dikirin, xanîka da. And made playhouses. Every week they made feasts in the playhouses.
Vê bûkê, lebkê paçikî. This doll/bride, the game of kissing.
Derziya didirûtin. Teşî dikirin. Fîstanê dikirin. Tiştê... îşê yani... ê berê bî. They sewed with needles. Spun wool. Made dresses. Things... work I mean... of the past.
Û cilet paçî. Paçka dikirin. Û direqisîn. And clothes kissing. They kissed. And danced.
Li berê cama Gundê Husên ewa ye. In front of the community of Gundê Husên, that was it.
Ewa genda ye. That Genda.
Me hewê gulukna bibirana. Û ê bi jelkerana. Û heta noka jî nehene. We would cut the flowers (?). And with the (?). And until now they are not here.
Digotin te jî paçî. Wana gi... her çar pênc şitûnekî. They said you too kiss (?). They all... every four or five pillars.
Tiştê berê girrî bî, meşk hebû. The thing of the past was important, there was the churn.
Dav têda dikeyand, ya pîna helak dibî. Noka xesale ne. Churned the yogurt in it, the person would get exhausted. Now there are washing machines.
Aa ma xesale vêxe? Ah, does the washing machine churn it?
Ooo, nî tenikî dikirin, têda dimrin. Heta nîvro, nî tenikî dibîn. Oh, they put it in the tin, churned in it. Until noon, half a tin would be done.
Ê noka firne ne. Nanî tenûr hemcamek me naxwar. And now there are bakeries. Tannour bread, we didn't eat a bite.
Me du... em cake elimî bûn nî tenikî. We... we once got used to the half tin (method).
Î noka em î tenikî naxwin. And now we don't eat the tin one.
Ê berê çû, ê noka... tişta din e, xeyrî. The past is gone, the present... is different things, other.
Xaltîka Sebah saheta te xweş, Xwedê ji te razî be. Ez pirr kêfxweş bûm. Auntie Sabah, thank you, may God be pleased with you. I was very happy.
Saheta te jî xweş. Ehlên we sehlen. Health to you too. Welcome.
Spas ji bo te. Thanks to you.
Jibo te ne werra. Gundê Baedîna ra. To you and those with you. To the village of Baadina.
Mentîqa me ye, dekê me xwaletê me jwê mentîqê ne. Ehlên we sehlen. It is our region, our mothers and aunts are from that region. Welcome.
E berê gî destderim te me, te gotin te nene. In the past were they all your friends, you said you don't have [husband/kids].
Saheta te xweş. Gule gule. Em pê hatina we kêfxweş bûn. Health to you. Goodbye. We were happy with your coming.
Û ehlên we sehlen ji we ra. And welcome to you.

Şevên çavan, dil lerizî / Pêngavên hêvî û xuzi. Nights of the eyes, the heart trembled / Steps of hope and desire.

Merheba. Hello.
Ehlên we sehlen. Welcome.

Emrê min... pêncûyek ketim pêncûduda. My age... fifty-one, I entered fifty-two.

Xwedê emrê dirêj bide û siheta xweş bide. May God give a long life and good health.
Buwa te jî. Xalê Arif, noka li Gundê Brimje, em derbasî Gundê Brimje bûn, tu dikinî ji me ra xeber de, noka mekteb çend in li Gundê Brimje? To you as well. Uncle Aref, now in Brimje Village, we passed into Brimje Village, can you tell us, how many schools are there now in Brimje Village?
Mekteb xalê, li gundê me didu ne. Pirr kevn e. Schools, uncle, in our village there are two. It's very old.
Yeka dadî... yeka îbtîdayî ye. One is... one is primary.
Baş e ya dadî, milet gerr çû, hindik mane. Noka îbtîdayî tenê maye. The good one, many people left, few remain. Now only the primary one remains.
Seydeli di vê gundî da çend in? How many pharmacies are in this village?
Seydeli yek hebû, bê fatrekê da bû şeş heft sal in... Seydeli hebû, Seydeli jî xira kir, mêrik çû welatê xwe, Seydeli tine ye. There was one pharmacy, in a period about six-seven years ago... There was a pharmacy, he closed the pharmacy too, the man went to his country, there is no pharmacy.
Ne zihbî li vir bû? Wasn't it much/long here?
Na zihbî li viderê bû, û ê meriya... hem xûcî came bû, hem seydeli vekiribû, û çû. No, it was over there, and the people's... he was both a mosque caretaker and had opened a pharmacy, and he left.
Bîrê d’avê, dikinî ji me ra xeber de, çend in li Gundê Brimje? Water wells, can you tell us, how many are in Brimje Village?
Gundê Brimje, bîrê avê wek bîst bîr, bîst û pênc bîr heye di malan da. Hene. Brimje Village, water wells, there are like twenty, twenty- five wells in the houses. There are.
Bes bîra em jê avê dikişînin gund noka, bîra hukmet xira bû. Motora gund, el-muhîm ew bû, çênekirin. But the well we draw water from for the village now, the government well broke down. The village motor, anyway that was it, they didn't fix it.
Bîrek din heye, dibêjin Bîra Gûş. Darek mezin çinare, heye li binî gund e. There is another well, they call it Bîra Gûş. There is a big plane tree, it is at the bottom of the village.
Em darrin, wal de ser heye, em... sîtera dadigirin. We go, there is a trough on it, we... fill the cisterns.
Yek jê avê dikişîne jî ez im. Xeyrî min gund tine ne. One who draws water from it is me. Other than me, there is no one in the village.
Ez avê dikişînim, telebiyata gund ez dimeşînim. I draw the water, I fulfill the village's requests.
Bîrê d’avê jî li Gundê Brimje da hene? Are there water wells in Brimje Village too?
Hene, wek bîst bîr, bîst û pênc bîr heye di malan da ne, her kesî bîrek li ber derê mala xwe kolaye. There are, like twenty, twenty-five wells inside houses, everyone has dug a well in front of their house door.
Ê ku bîrê xwa heye, heye. Ê tina ye jî bi sîtera em jêra dikişînin. El-muhîm umûr îdare dikin. Those who have their own well, have it. Those who don't, we draw for them with cisterns. Anyway, they manage affairs.
Kîbar in. Xalê Arif, noka li Gundê Brimje, meqbes di vê gundî da çend in? Very nice. Uncle Aref, now in Brimje Village, how many presses are in this village?
Meqbes didu ne. There are two presses.
Meqbes yek, pirr kevn e. Berê li orta gund bû, meqbesê... cilka bû. One press is very old. It used to be in the middle of the village, a press of... "cilka".
Me teper dida nav da, egîştimê, bizûre tê bîra min wek xewna. We used to put a stone in it, I remember it, barely comes to my mind like a dream.
Di pey ra ê lîfî çêkirin. Meqbes jî a Malê Mixtêr e, ji gund e, Malê Şêxî Fîlik. After that they made the fiber ones. The press belongs to the House of Mukhtar, from the village, House of Sheikhi Filik.
Ê jor jî rakirin, birin dervayî gund. Nav gund teng bû, û bînê bêrînê dero... They removed the upper one too, took it outside the village. Inside the village was narrow, and the smell of the waste...
Derxistin dervayî gund. Halyen jî yek şixûl e heye. Ser rêka Gundê Husên. They took it out of the village. Currently one is working. On the road to Gundê Husên.
Noka du meqbes di Gundê Brimje da hene, ê cilka be yek noka girtî ye? Now there are two presses in Brimje Village, if one is "cilka", is it closed now?
Ê tometîk heye dişuxile, meqbeseka heye, ê din jî bîna heye, çênekirin e. Ê sinte tê tine ye. There is an automatic one working, there is a press, the other one has a building, but not fixed. There is no machinery in it.
Meqbes kevn dar... li gundî... The old wooden press... in the village...
Kevn dar heye, yani pirr kevn dar e. There is an old one, I mean it's very old.
Xalê Arif, em noka ser we’dê noka dain. Noka îroja we çawa derbas dibe? Uncle Aref, let's talk about the situation now. Now how does your day pass?
Gundê Birîmce hindî... Piştî ku hûn radibin û roja xwe çawa derbas dikin? Tikaye ji me ra xeber de. Brimje Village is a bit... After you get up, how do you spend your day? Please tell us about this.
Wella li gund a bixwe, gund derece derece ye, yanî tişt tê pey hev du tê. Well, in the village itself, the village is step by step, meaning things come one after another.
Halê anha wextê çilû ye. Currently, it is the time of the "Chilu" (winter plowing).
Dû çilû ra mişmiş tê, hîlîk tê, yanî vê gundê me işxolî xwe pir e. Daku çi heye. After the Chilu, apricots come, plums come, meaning this village of ours has a lot of work. So that's what there is.
Erê. Yes.
Ee... Em noka şabab derên meselen sibe, ikindî derên çilû. I razî xwe ne. Uh... We, the youth, go out now, for example in the morning, [until] late afternoon we go for the Chilu plowing. They are content with themselves.
Wî tenê jî bi ucreta xwe sêk verra derê... The other one goes with him for his wage...
Ee.. Danê çilû... Noka karê çilû ye. Uh... The time of Chilu... Now is the work of Chilu.
Wî heye jî cûtari ye, yek jî ez mam cûtarî me, dan cûtê xwe dajon. Elhemam traktor e, sêgemke, cût bajon. There is the one who is a plowman, and I remained a plowman, constantly driving their plow. It is mostly tractors, three- disc plows, driving the plow.
I cût dajo. Wî din jî derê çilûyê rezan beraf dike, noka karê yan halê noka çilû ye. He drives the plow. The other one goes and hoes the "Chilu" of the vineyards, now their work or current situation is the Chilu.
Çilû ye. It is Chilu.
Mm. Mm.
Noha em bên ucretê... Amil gava wextê ki heye çilû, danê sibe û ikindî derê. Now let's come to the wage... The worker, when it is the time of Chilu, goes out morning and afternoon.
Danê çiqasî derê? Tikaye zama meblex ji me ra hewal de, meselen bên divê gunda ucret haqas didin. How much does a shift go for? Please transfer the amount to us, for example, say in this village they pay this much wage.
Bi seeta ra didin. They pay by the hour.
Vra bi saeta darne. Sibe zû saet pênc û nîv şeşê de dest pê dikin, heta saet deh. Here they go by hours. Early morning at five thirty or six they start, until ten o'clock.
Mokinê beraf dikeve, dare efrîn... The machine falls to hoeing, going to Afrin...
Saetê meerya bi bîst û pênc wereqe çilû beraf dikim. Saeta ye. The hourly rate for a man, I hoe the Chilu for twenty-five papers (notes). It is hourly.
Erê. Yes.
Çar saeta beraf ke, yanî sed wereqî dibe. Ewa betûnî yaw dikin. If he hoes for four hours, that means it becomes a hundred papers. That is how they calculate the concrete [total].
Danê sibe sedî, danê ikindî sedî? The morning shift is a hundred, the afternoon shift is a hundred?
Danê ikindî jî qismek heye derê beraf dike bi sedî. Ê pirrik jî hene naçan, bes danê sibe beraf dikin. For the afternoon shift, there is a portion that goes to hoe for a hundred. And many of them don't go, they only hoe the morning shift.
Bes danê sibe. Only the morning shift.
Xwedê quwetê bide we û siheta we xweş bide. May God give you strength and give you good health.
Bide we da jî. May He give it to you too.
Ee.. Hatî em ya hewş... Te dibil ya hewş ge darber e. Uh... You came to the courtyard... You said the courtyard implies neighbors/gathering.
Erê. Yes.
Em li vira, jdari, şînî, dawet dikin. Yanî... merî jî diçînin, elmuhîm... giştk manê ew be. We here, in neighborliness, mourning, we hold weddings. Meaning... we also bury people, the important thing... is that everything is like that.
Millet, ê dûr tana xwar jî, dûr ta rêkê bixwe. The people, those from far down too, stand far on their own path [implied meaning: everyone knows their place/role].
Erê. Em bên zanîn, gundê Birîmce li nahiya Mabatê dikeve. Yes. Let us know, Brimja village falls in the Mabeta sub- district.
Erê. Yes.
Çend kîlometre ji nahiya xwe dûr dikeve? How many kilometers is it far from its sub-district?
Em pênc kîlometre ji nahiya Mabatê va dûr ne. We are five kilometers far from Mabeta sub-district.
Dûr ne. You are far.
Tikaye ji me ra xeber de, piştî gundê Birîmce wa mişmişê xwe, behîvê xwe kum kirin. In çawa dibin ji tuxlar? Yanî ticare wa çawa ye in çû darbaz dikin? Please tell us, after Brimja village gathers their apricots and their almonds. How do they take them from the branches? Meaning how is their trade, how do they manage it?
Me beraf dikir, gund beraf dikir, em ê bi rê diketin. We used to harvest, the village used to harvest, we would hit the road.
Berê me dibir Heleb. Yek jî ez me, min ji pênc şeş sala min dibir Heleb, çilû, sîkê, daro, tirşê gişt min da dixist. Before, we took it to Aleppo. I am one of them, for five or six years I took it to Aleppo; plums, market goods, wood, pickles, everything I would unload there.
Babo bî çend sal ne me berdayî. Man, it has been a few years since we gave that up.
Ê şabab li gund hene, da dixin sîkê. The youth in the village, they take it down to the market.
Em ê mokinê hûnin... bi nav gund bigere. We bring the vehicle... it goes around inside the village.
Ê da xwin sîkê, bibin suqulal, bifroşin. Those who take it down to the market, become grocers, they sell it.
Faturê xelkê je ra rûnin, hûnin, belav kin. They sit down for the people's invoices, bring them, distribute them.
Belav kin. Distribute them.
Yanî, gukarek bêjî, xelkê gundê Birîmce li her gundê, li karê gundê, bi hev ra harîkar dikin. Meaning, a helpful deed you could say, the people of Brimja village in every village [matter], in village work, they help each other.
Liv darê lê, mirik be, şabînekî ke be, em bav di ra yarm dikin, em harî dikin. In this place, if there is a death, if there is a wedding engagement, we help each other with it, we assist.
Yanî ji xwa berê xerîb xumal, mêrê tena, mêrê te em kê, pê ra bin. Vê wecîbê me ye, hewa ji berê da. Meaning since before, strangers or locals, a lone man, your man whoever, we go with him. This is our duty, since the old days.
Erê. Gerek li her gundekî gukarek bî ku mer hev ra harî ke. Yes. In every village there needs to be a helpful spirit so people help each other.
Mer hev du ra harî ke, hezkirin hebe. People should help each other, there should be love.
Erê. Yes.
Xalê Arîf saeta te xweş, ez pir kêfxweş bûm, her wisa ez nîvandarê gundê Birîmce bûm. Uncle Arif, thanks for your time, I was very happy, likewise I was a guest of Brimja village.

Gotinek tina ye. Wekî din miletê me giçûye derva. There is not a word. Otherwise, our people have all gone abroad.
Saeta giya xweş. Yanî birakî min çûye Lubnanê, xokne min gil Elmanya ne, qîçkê gund ne. Good times to them all. Meaning, a brother of mine has gone to Lebanon, my sisters are with Germany, the kids of the village.
Elhemam merîyê me, pişmamnê me gi belav bûne. Mostly our relatives, our cousins are all scattered.
Silavê me ji giya ra hene. We have greetings for them all.

Xalê Ehmed, noha tikê ji me ra xeber de ser mêwa. Uncle Ahmed, now please tell us about the fruit trees.
Tu çû destpêkê, tu çû diçînê, tu çû aw dikê? Ji me ra hinekî behs bike. How do you start, how do you plant, how do you water? Discuss it a bit for us.
Bi Xwedê evê mêwna em Sîbatê tînin. Ji çûlê, mêwê rind. By God, these fruit trees, we bring them in February. From the wild, good fruit trees.
Ê dibên Lemy. The ones they call "Lemy" (Greengage/Plum variety).
Mhm. Mhm.
Em ji çûlê tînin, dikin tûrka, em axa sor jî ji berbawişê tînin. Xas axa sor, ma kin e me wadiye xwa. We bring them from the wild, put them in bags, we bring red soil from the sunny slope. Specifically red soil, we don't put it in our valleys [without it].
Ne bi hormonata ye. Em dikin şûnê fewata. Ma mêw çandine berê. It is not with hormones. We put them in place of the empty spots. We planted fruit trees before.
Bes kî fewat bîn, em tkin şûnê genda kin. Hev mêwna. But whichever ones failed/died, we make fresh ones in their place. These fruit trees.
Erê. Yes.
Mehê Şibatê em diçînin, teben. In the month of February we plant them, naturally.
Mehê Şibatê, tikê hîne şitil, û te axê, te got axa sor em ji deştê berbawişê tînin. Month of February, you bring the seedling, and the soil, you said we bring red soil from the plain of the sunny slope.
Erê em deştê berbawişê tînin. Yes, we bring it from the plain of the sunny slope.
Û ev mêwna jî, yan em dikin tûrka, tûrî xwa jî reş me, manê tesîr sermê pê neke. And these fruit trees too, either we put them in bags, our bags are black, meaning so the effect of the cold doesn't hit them.
Saqa dero, mefûlî xwa mekin bî tûrî reş, mekin e, oxê sor jî rind e. The stem is outside, its effect is solid with the black bag, we put it in, red soil is also good.
Erê. Yes.
Mehê Şibatê, bidabıt. Month of February, exactly.
Di mehê Şibatê da gerek te aw bikî. In the month of February you must water it.
Erê, em ke da erdê ke şifê. Yes, we put it in the ground [unclear word: shife].
Xalê Ehmed, çend meha gerek e gi bi şitil bê, gi te li nav xêr biçînê? Uncle Ahmed, how many months does it need to be a seedling, for you to plant it in the soil?
Li nav xêr, bar xwa dide, sê sala teqrîben bar xwa dide. In the soil, it gives its fruit, in three years approximately it gives its fruit.
Bes tanî kikir e, em her roj yewmiye ji av didin. But until it establishes, we give it water every single day.
Yanî rûk erê, rûkê na. Zû digihî ne mêw. Meaning one day yes, one day no. The fruit trees mature quickly.
Piştî te şitil hîna, te çand, û te kir axê, hin dibên çûlê diçînin. After you brought the seedling, you planted it, and you put in soil, some say they plant wild ones.
Erê. Yes.
Gi heger wextê te li çûle neçand, li xêr nav xêr te neçand, gerek te av de, ne? If at the time you didn't plant it in the wild, in the good soil you didn't plant it, you must give it water, right?
Elê em kê av din, teban e. Sahrijê me jî heye, em da’ran av didin. Bi traktorê. Yes, we have to water it, naturally. We have cisterns too, we go and water them. With the tractor.
Erê. Yes.
Em daren avêj, meselen ji berbawişê tînin, ji bîra gwis tînin. Em bi xertûm jî av didin. We go for water too, for example we bring it from the sunny slope, we bring it from the walnut well. We also water with hoses.
Ha xusî. Just like that.
Xalê Ehmed em noha bên meselê raz. Noêd tevrind çi ye, gi heger mera biçînê li nav xêrê xwa? Uncle Ahmed, let's come now to the issue of the vineyard/orchard. What are the varieties of "Tevrind" (early crop), if one wants to plant in their soil?
Noêd tevrind, em bên dikurgon, ev vera dibên kirmanc. Varieties of Tevrind, we say "Dukurgan" (Double/Red), here they call it "Kirmanj".
Dukurgonî Lemy heye. There is Dukurgan of Lemy.
Ha wa noêd tevrind e. Ah, that is the variety of Tevrind.
Ave tevrind e, em wî şitlî ji qelemî siftah, ma ji abîdanê mantiqê ma ketî. That is Tevrind, we [take] that seedling from the first grafting pen, it has fallen into our region from Abidan.
Li cem me tine bî, ev qelemo. We didn't have it, this grafting pen/scion.
Ji abîdanê ev avdarê ketî cem me. Mantiqê Efrîn, tine bî berî cem me. From Abidan this watered one fell to us. Afrin region, it wasn't with us before.
Piştî wa şitil hat, û ortê xelkê girt. After that seedling came, and it took hold among the people.
Erê. Orto ma mêw çandin, ew mêwna jî mezin bûn, û qelemî genda belav bî li mantiqê me Efrîn bûn. Yes. Then we planted fruit trees, those trees grew big, and fresh scions spread in our region of Afrin.
Gundê Birîmce. Brimja village.
Dukurganî odî jî heye, û hêvîtkî jî heye. Hêvîtkî na mexrûbe sûkê. There is ordinary Dukurgan too, and there is Hêvîtkî too. Hêvîtkî is not desirable for the market.
Bes î mexrûb dikurgon e, we ye he. Em dibên Lemy. But the desirable one is Dukurgan, that's the one. We call it Lemy.
We ye tav, esasî de me cem me. Mantiqê me. It is the sun/best, fundamentally with us. Our region.
Û hûsor jî mişmişa ma çilû ye teben. And besides that, our apricots are "Chilu" naturally.
Erê. Yes.
Erê gundî me jî, bi çilû derece yek e em berkin. Yes our village too, with Chilu apricots we are number one to harvest.
Çilîyê rês. Real Chilu.
Di gundê Birîmce da, derece yek e me birî. In Brimja village, we took first place.
Çend. How much.
Dûr ma heye hindik e. We have plenty, it's a little [humble brag or comparison].
Hindik e. It is little.
Bes bizat gundê Birîmce, derece ûla birî. But specifically Brimja village, took first place.
Rezê xwa t’pir e. Your orchards are full.
Rezê me pir e, elhemdu lillah. Aa. Our orchards are full, praise be to God. Ah.
Xalê Ehmed, piştî meselen, çend qûra gerek merê çilû beraf ke? Noha dibê çilû pir beraf ke, tesîrê b’qûrax dikeve. Raste ev gotina? Uncle Ahmed, after for example, how many passes/rows must one hoe the Chilu? Now they say hoe the Chilu a lot, the effect falls on the roots/stump. Is this saying true?
Na, em tesîrê b’qûrax nakin. No, we don't effect the roots.
Heger gi te qîmetê milk pê de, quwetê pê de, ew jî quwetê dede te. If you give value to the property, give it strength, it also gives you strength.
Tesîrê pê nake, na. It doesn't affect it, no.
Hûrûk meselen gi av e, gi semad e, gi cût e, kukulandin e, tike wa be. Like for example if it is water, if it is fertilizer, if it is plowing, digging, it has to be like that.
Temam? Okay?
Gi te xizmet nekir, ê teban yekê tesîrê t’re bike, a. If you didn't serve it, well naturally one will affect you [negatively], yeah.
Piştî wa sê çar qûr çilû kum kirin. After you gathered three or four piles of Chilu (apricots/plums).
Paşê ro qûrax dibe. Ortox dibe qûrax. Afterwards it becomes stripping/drying. Then it becomes stripping.
Dibe, dibe qûrax, lê. It becomes, it becomes stripping, yes.
Qûrax, i heye meselen, tirî xwa dike dimis. Stripping/drying, there is one for example, he turns his grapes into molasses.
I heye dike bastêq. I heye dibe sûkê yanê. There is one who makes fruit leather. There is one who takes to the market.
Dibe suqulal meselen, difroşe. Yes.
Dibe suqulal meselen, difroşe. He goes to the grocer for example, he sells.
Bes exlebiye cem em dikin bastêq. Em dikin dimis, û dikin mîj. But the majority with us make fruit leather. We make molasses, and make dried fruits (mîj).
Li gundê Birîmce, razê xwa, dikin bastêq. In Brimja village, their orchards, they make fruit leather.
Û dikin mîj, û dikin dimis. And they make dried fruits, and they make molasses.
Dimis. Yes.
Dimis. Molasses.
Paşê hîndimsî xwa difroşin. Then they sell their molasses.
Em dimisê xwa difroşin, meselen bastêq em hebibêd me hene, em ji fistoqê didinê, bi behîva, bi gûza dixwin. We sell our molasses, for example fruit leather, we have our pills (pieces), we put pistachio in it, with almonds, with walnuts they eat it.
Wakî nîn bastêqî me, wakî nîn e. Donî adî. Yes.
Wakî nîn bastêqî me, wakî nîn e. Donî adî. Our fruit leather is not like that, not like that. Ordinary stuff.
In bastêqê xwa b'fistoq û b'behîv û b'gûz çêdikin. They make their fruit leather with pistachios and almonds and walnuts.
Erê. Yes.
Em dikin nav nên ji vistanî, wek nîn bîstiq yanê, ma behîvê xwa, gûzê xwa pê dixwin. We put it in bread in winter, like a sandwich, meaning we eat our almonds, our walnuts with it.
Em behîva jî bi avrû me’rûf in, û bi behîva jî. We are famous for almonds by grafting, and for [wild] almonds too.
Baxçêd gundê Birîmce, bi razê xwa me’rûf e, û bi behîvê xwa, mişmişê xwa. The gardens of Brimja village are famous for their vineyards/orchards, and for their almonds, their apricots.
Teb’an, a. Naturally, yes.
Hejîr li cem pî wa da kêm e xalê Ehmed? Are figs scarce in your area Uncle Ahmed?
Na hejîrê me jî hene elhemdu lillah. No we have our figs too, praise be to God.
Merhele hene, hejîr jî, hejîrê me jî rind e. Aa. There are stages, figs too, our figs are also good. Ah.

Sax bin. Be healthy.
We sehlen ji we re, rûspî... And welcome to you, elders...
Merheba. Hello.
Ehlen we sehlen. Welcome.
Tu çawa yî, baş î? How are you, are you good?
Hemûdê? Praise [be to God].
Hemûdê? Hamude?
Çend salî ye? Hamude.
Çend salî ye? How old are you?
Bîst û du. Twenty-two.
Ez Xelîl ji gundê Baedîna ji qenatê me, Efrîn Hêv û Nîvandar e, gundî pirr ji me hez dikin, ji me re dişînin. I am Khalil from the village of Baedina from our channel, Afrin Hev u Nivandar, many villagers love us, they send to us.
Ehlen we sehlen, ser çava. Welcome, upon my eyes [with pleasure].
Xwedê ji te razî be. Hemûdê em biniftilin werin ser tembûrê. God be pleased with you. Hamude let's turn back and come to the tanbur [instrument].
Te çend sal e, na, te lêdixist te ji me re xeber da? You have been playing for how many years, no, you told us?
Û kîjan wextê da te dest pê kir te'lîmî? And at what time did you start learning?
Û bi xwe tembûr hîbe ji kê bir te ji me re xeber de. And personally who did you take the tanbur talent from, tell us.
Teqrîben, yanî... Approximately, I mean...
Yanî ê bi xwe çar sal in, ketime sala pênca ye lêdixim. I mean personally it's been four years, I've entered the fifth year playing.
Bavê min bi xwe zane. My father himself knows [how to play].
Bavê min ne kêm zane yanî 'emrê xwe teqrîben... My father doesn't know little, I mean his age approximately...
...berî min bizewice, yanî biçûk bû pirr biçûk bû. ...before he married [my mother], I mean he was small, very small.
Yanî tembûrek hewan, halîyen tembûrek jê heye. I mean a tanbur..., currently he has a tanbur.
E'ser wî tembûrî ez 'elimîm. On that tanbur I learned.
Ez 'elimîm, hewa kidê bîn, min lêxist, terik kir. I learned, ... I played, I quit.
Pişê min deskê niha dîsa der dikir. Then I started again recently.
Ne bîya 'elimandin. It wasn't by teaching.
Yanî bi destê xwe min der dikir. I mean I brought it out with my own hands.
Te mewhîbe ji bavê xwe bir? Did you take the talent from your father?
Belê. Yes.
Naho Hemûdê mesela em gotinekê bikin. Now Hamude, for example let's say a word.
Naho wextî ku însan kî bi 'elmê tembûrê, bigereke meraq hebe lê? Now when a person learns the tanbur, must there be curiosity for it?
Meraq kî hebe. There must be curiosity.
Ku meraq tunebe nîke bi 'elimê? If there is no curiosity, can he not learn?
Meraq kî hebe, divê kî zanebûn, fenîkî têda hebe. There must be curiosity, there must be knowledge, an art in it.
Yanî fenî têda nebe, tu nikanî livî darî bixînî. I mean if there is no art in it, you cannot play on this wood.
Hawdora bindirva be, pşî çavê te nate xuyan. If the surroundings are [distracting], it doesn't appear before your eyes.
Bes fenî biter a be, dikênî yanî dikin eya deqa di bîst saetî lêxe tu jê ne'iciz e. But if the art is good, you enjoy it, meaning if you play the same piece for 20 hours you won't get annoyed.
Gerek meraq dilê te da hebe û te bi 'elmê. Curiosity must be in your heart and you learn.
Wexta gotî jî te mewhîbe ji bavê xwe 'elimî tembûr. As you said, you learned the talent/tanbur from your father.
Belê. Yes.
Destê kî min di rakir. I picked up a hand [skill].
Niha em sual pirs kin, tu derdikevî dawata lê na? Now let's ask a question, do you go out to weddings or not?
Na, hezar na, dernakevim bes, teqî dewate d'gund çêdibin... No, a thousand times no, I don't go out but, sometimes weddings happen in the village...
...em jixwe re... em şên dikin yanî. ...we for ourselves... we liven it up I mean.
Kêlek hevedu dikin. We gather together.
Rojê pêşda kî da'we li ser dawata ew kir... In the future if someone invites you to a wedding...
...yanî em bêjin roje pêşda me li Hemûdê li dawata bibînin? ...I mean let's say in the future will we see Hamude at weddings?
Înşalla yanî. God willing I mean.
Ti mişkêle tê da nîne, ezê derkevim. There is no problem in it, I will go out.
Xwedê ji te razî be. God be pleased with you.
Xwedê ji te jî razî be, sax bî mamoste. God be pleased with you too, be healthy teacher.
Û bi xwe sê sal e te ta'lîmî ta we got? And for three years you have been learning as you said?
E, dersa le, çar sal, dersa sala pênca ye. Eh, lessons..., four years, lesson of the fifth year.
Niha jî tê destê... Now you will [play] a hand...
Adî zorê tune, ser serî bîm. Normal, no trouble, upon my head.
[Music playing] [Music playing]

Niha jî ez li deşta Tirbespiyê, gundê Dugirê... Now I am in the plain of Tirbespiyê, the village of Dugirê...

Saetên we xweş, ez Xelîl ji gundê Dugirê, qenata Xatûnê ya fermî. Have a good time, I am Xelîl from Dugirê village, the official Xatûn channel.
Ji xwe dûr im, ne jiyan li vir heye. I am far from myself, there is no life here.
Ne jî ez li vir im. Nor am I here.
Gava ji te bi dûr ketim. When I fell far from you.
Ne bi dilê min bû. It was not my wish.
Ji xwe dûr im, ne jiyan li vir heye. I am far from myself, there is no life here.
Ne jî ez li vir im. Nor am I here.
Gava ji te bi dûr ketim. When I fell far from you.
Ne bi dilê min bû. It was not my wish.
Hêna ji dilê te kî dipirpitî. Who is still fluttering from your heart.
Di nava girê gurbetiyê da mam e. I have remained in the grip of exile.
Bela ez li gundê xwe bam e. If only I were in my village.
Min li siya darekê zeytûnê. Me in the shade of an olive tree.
Serê xwe danîba ser gurzekê puş. If I had laid my head on a bundle of straw.
Di ber re jî difinam in. And while doing so, I would be humming.
Bila axa pîroz bikira... Let the holy soil make...
Bila ew derman ba ji min ra. Let that be the remedy for me.
Hingî ez ne dimirim. Then I would not die.
Hingî ez namirim. Then I do not die.
Dîsa hate ber guhê min dengê te. Again your voice came to my ear.
Dîsa hate xeyala min rengê te. Again your image came to my imagination.
Dîsa birînê dilê min vebûn ve. Again the wounds of my heart opened up.
Kî ve biçim xilaz nabim ji hizrên te. Wherever I go, I will not be saved from thoughts of you.
Dîsa hate ber guhê min dengê te. Again your voice came to my ear.

Dîsa birînê dilê min vebûn ve. Again the wounds of my heart opened up.

Hemî xweşî yet min te birin. You took all my joys.
Te hêla me nav xema. You left me in sorrows.
Ji hêsr û ji xeyala min. From tears and from my imagination.
...îna nû, emrê xweş yê te bir ...new love, it took away your happy life

Min ji te via, ji bîr vekim rojên berê I wanted you, to forget the days of the past
Min ji te via... I wanted you...
