Û em kênê mekteb jî heye di vê gundî da. Û camî heye. And we see there is a school in this village too. And there is a mosque.
Kênê ji me ra xeber de, çiqa kîlometre ji Efrîn dûr dikeve vê gundê? Talk to us here, how many kilometers does this village lie from Afrin?

Xwedê neke mirî çêbin, xweliya bêrem, berê diçûn doşek radixistin, kon vedidan, doşek radixistin. God forbid if a death happens, my dear friend, in the past they used to go and lay out mattresses, set up tents, lay out mattresses.

Sindoq zêr û sindoq tiştan dikişînin. Mesela, ne sûcê meriv e, ne sûcê wan e jî. They pull a chest of gold and a chest of things. For example, it's not the man's fault, nor is it their fault either.
Lê ev, sed meriv tê bî dawetê. Yek sed meriv, yek sed malbatî ko bin... Me lev [hev] toşî hal dikin. But this, a hundred people come to the wedding. One hundred people, one hundred families who are [there]... We put ourselves in a [bad] situation.

Saeta we xweş xalê Bêrem, em pir kêfxweş bûn bi dîtina we, û qisê ra av (?) kir, me hinekî xurê (?) red kir. Bless your time Uncle Berem, we were very happy to see you, and [sorry] we cut the conversation short, we rejected/passed some of the talk.
Weleh em jî kêfxweş bûn. By God, we were also happy.
Me gund piştî milet ravî, belkî we ragirtin... We... the village after the people fled, maybe you held it together...
Xwedê ji te razî be. May God be pleased with you.
Em pir kêfxweş bûn. Me pir rojên xweş bi hevra derbas kir. We were very happy. We spent very nice days together.
Me çikî gundê Stêrê sewrandin. We toured a bit of Stêr village.
Merheba, bi xêr hatin. Hello.
Merheba, bi xêr hatin. Hello, welcome.
Mekteb... me çêkir. The school... we built it.
Mekteb e? It is a school?
Mekteb e me çêkir. It is a school we built.
Wextê... mal bi xakê hat çêkirin. When... the house [building] was built with soil/clay.
Ser çîrok, û zer û zebeş û (?) bûn. It was on stories, and yellow [gold] and watermelons and... [unclear].
Wê demê mekteb tunebû? At that time there was no school?
Hîden (?) hîden, mekteb hat. Slowly slowly, the school came.
Bi mekteb bû, piçûk me çêkir. It was with a school, we built a small one.
Wextî me çêkir, mekteb biçûk me çêkir. When we built it, we built a small school.
Ser çîrok û zeviyê zer û zebeş û (?) bûn. It was on stories and fields of yellow [crops] and watermelons and...
Wîşo (?) eynî dirop hat, me çêkir, anîn danîn heya wiha. That same path came, we built it, they brought and placed it until like this.
Qet dîwar bot (?) ez me ro girtin. [Unclear]... I held the day.
Di cî de rozname derdixistin? Were they publishing a daily calendar/newspaper in the place?
Me gund hebî (?), lê hîç tunebû. We had a village, but there was nothing.
Paşê, eh me ro anî, ev mekteba çêbû qedim. Then, uh we brought the day, this school was built, it's ancient.
Ev a nû ye. This is the new one.
Hîden, hîden... Slowly, slowly...
Îro şand, di memilê (?) xwe da. Today sent, in his own treatment/work.
Hukumetê anî mektebê kirin, îden, î mezin, gundî umumî fêrî bûn. The government brought and made the school, slowly, the big ones, the general village learned.
Ewilî fêrî bûn, bûn mamosta. First they learned, became teachers.
Pijî tiştî şolê msun (?) helek. [Unclear]...
Malî me girtî bû helek. Our house was closed for a while.
Baso go tîfaqa şêlê mekteba çêbû qedim e? So he said the agreement of the work of the school being built is ancient?
Niha ev mekteba şixulî ye? Is this school active now?
Erê şixulî ye. Mamosta tên, şixulî ye. Yes it is active. Teachers come, it is active.
Çi qonax dixwînin, xalê Bêrem? Wextê mesela heya ku derê dixwînin? What grades do they study, Uncle Berem? When for example up to where do they study?
Çi par e? Wextê kesekî gundî me ra pêş tê... They come saying let's go... [unclear] of this village exist continuing in the city. With the place...
Çi par e? Wextê kesekî gundî me ra pêş tê... What part is it? When a villager of ours comes forward...
...û tişkî ji milletê xwe re, ji gundê xwe re baqî nake... ...and holds nothing back from his people, from his village...
Her bijî. Long live.
Walah ma rebeno, her yekî... By God, oh poor ones, everyone...
Inşalla ez ji vê qeneatê ez bawer dikim tu kesekî ne şaş î... God willing, I am of this conviction, I believe you are not a wrong person...
...Ebdulrezaq, Ereb û Misilman, ma tev... ...Abdulrazzaq, Arabs and Muslims, we are all...
Ereb û Kurd bira ne, ma kî ji kê çêtir e? Arabs and Kurds are brothers, who is better than whom?
Gelo te ferq nehişt? Did you leave no difference?
Tev yek e. Walah ma tev yek e. It is all one. By God, it is all one.
Ma Cihû, Mesîhî, Şamî, Misilman, Ereb, Kurd... Jews, Christians, Damascenes, Muslims, Arabs, Kurds...
Hemû yek e. All are one.
Ax yek e. Av yek e. The land is one. The water is one.
Em bixwin nexwin, av û nan... Whether we eat or don't eat, water and bread...
Sehetxweş. Em pir kêfxweş bûn xalê Behram. Health to you. We were very happy, Uncle Behram.
Emrê te dirêj be. May your life be long.
Berî em neha, berî em herin... te emrê te çiqas e? Tu tevlî doza tevgera Kurdî bûyî yan na? Before we now, before we go... how old are you? Did you join the Kurdish movement's cause or not?
Walah xwarzê, dinya tal e, bera ketim, silametî ya te be... By God nephew, the world is bitter, I fell behind, may you be safe...
...kêfxweş bûn... ...we were happy...
Û silametî ji dunya û alemê tê, ji me re tê, qewî... And safety comes to the world and universe, comes to us, strong...
Gelek spas xalê Behram. Many thanks Uncle Behram.
Sehetxweş, inşalla em te bibînin bi xweşî. Health to you, God willing we see you in happiness.
Em dixwazin gotinek dawî hebe, tu çi dibêjî ji miletê xwe re, ji gundê xwe re bi vê boneyê? We want to have a final word, what do you say to your people, to your village on this occasion?
Walah min çi heye ez bêjim. Kêfa min ji hemûyan re tê... By God, what do I have to say. I like everyone...
Kêfa min ji Ereb re tê, ji Kurd re tê, ji yekî re tê, ji Mesihi re tê... I like the Arab, the Kurd, the one, the Christian...
Eşîrek ne tenê Kurmanc tîne. Eşîr ser Ereb jî heye, ser alemê jî heye, ser Ecnebiyan jî heye. A tribe doesn't just consist of Kurds. There are tribes among Arabs too, among the universe, among foreigners too.
Tu kîjanî dixwazî, eşîrek ser gîştan heye. Whichever you want, there is a tribe over all of them.
Her miletekî jê eşîrek heye. Every nation has a tribe.
Bi vê wezyê niha, Xwedê me jê xelas ke bi silametî. With this situation now, may God save us from it safely.
Heger gula, her kes misilman, Kurd e, Ereb e, Mesîhî ye, Sûryan e, çi ye... If flowers, everyone is Muslim, Kurd, Arab, Christian, Syriac, whatever...
Rind e. It's good.
Xweşxweş li nav hev du, hezkirin çêbe. Very happily among each other, let love be created.
Zor spas Xalê Behram. Many thanks Uncle Behram.
Bi hêviya rojên xweş û geş. Hoping for happy and bright days.
Miletê me yek be. May our nation be one.
Miletê me yek bibe. May our nation become one.
Bila yek be. Let it be one.
Dengê me bigihêje hev. Let our voices reach each other.
Dilê me xweş, amîna dikim. Our hearts happy, I say amen.
Ser çava Xalê Behram, saetxweş. You're welcome Uncle Behram, health to you.
Em li cem apê muxtar in. We are with Uncle Mukhtar.
Apê muxtar tu çawa yî? Uncle Mukhtar, how are you?
Baş im, ez qurbana te bim. I am good, may I be your sacrifice.
Tu muxtar î, bi esas muxtarî zor e? You are a headman, basically is being headman difficult?
Tine ye, walah. It is not, by God.
Emrê te çiqas e apê muxtar? How old are you Uncle Mukhtar?
Walah ez nizanim, bes bi texmîn... By God I don't know, but by guess...
Heftê û pênc hene. There are seventy-five.
Heftê û pênc. Seventy-five.
Tu çiqas dem e muxtar î? How long have you been headman?
Walah bi texmîn, şeş-heft sal in ez muxtar im. By God by guess, it's been six-seven years I am headman.
Ew rojên em derbas dikin di stêrê... Those days we pass under the stars...
Em pir kêfxweş bûn bi dîtina we. We were very happy to see you.
Walah hewa çûye, halî va çûye... By God the weather is gone, this situation is gone...
Walah heydan nîne, ez zanim, berî vê bîst salî ka da tu sual bikî... By God there is no patience, I know, twenty years before this if you asked...
Dînê ziya bû... elhemdulîlah... The world was light... praise be to God...
Şikur ji Xwedê re, em dijîn, miletê xwe, şexsê xwe, gundê xwe, her tiştê miletê xwe, her kes bi heqê xwe... Thanks to God, we are living, our nation, our person, our village, everything of our nation, everyone with their right...
Xwedê heqê xwe bernade. God does not let go of his right.
Xalê Mistefa, em tên cem te, keremke, tu çend zarokên te hene? Uncle Mustafa, we come to you, please, how many children do you have?
Heft zarokên min hene. I have seven children.
Çend kur in, çend keç in? How many are boys, how many are girls?
Du kur in, pênc keç in. Two are boys, five are girls.
Xwedê ji te re bihêle. May God spare them for you.
Kar û barê gundî çiye bêtir? What is the work and business of the villager mostly?
Walah karê me gundiya, gundî bi xwe... By God, our work as villagers, the villager himself...
...teqríben bêje, hemû, şêst, heftê, pêncî, ji sedî pez xwedî dikin. ...approximately say, all, sixty, seventy, fifty percent raise sheep.
Yek jî diçînin. Zîraet e. Also they plant. It's agriculture.
Zîraet e. Îsal çawa ye? It's agriculture. How is it this year?
Îsal elhemdulîlah, baş e. This year praise be to God, it is good.
Mûsimê genim û ceh û nîsk û... The season of wheat and barley and lentils and...
Gelekî baş e. Zêde baş e. Elhemdulîlah. It's very good. Extra good. Praise be to God.
Mûsimê drasê ye, keremçiyê ye... It is the season of the harvester, the mower...
Ew jî heye. Drasa... tê de dixebitin... That exists too. The harvester... they are working in it...
Drasa tên gund... Harvesters come to the village...
Drasa tên gund, drasê dikin... Harvesters come to the village, they harvest...
Zeviyên we avî ne yan bejî ne? Are your fields irrigated or rain-fed?
Na walah bejî ne. No by God they are rain-fed.
Bejî ne. They are rain-fed.
Teqrîben hemû bejî ne. Approximately all are rain-fed.
Îsal baran baş bû? Was the rain good this year?
Îsal baran gelekî baş bû. This year the rain was very good.
Gelekî baş bû. Bereket e. It was very good. It is a blessing.
Bê hesab. Bereket e. Without count. It is a blessing.
Mûsimê kîmyayî ye, keremçî ye, ya Urduna, îsal... It's the season of chemicals, mowers, or the Jordanian one, this year...
Du dînar e jî, kîlo bi du dînar e, genim bi du dînar e. It is two dinars too, a kilo is two dinars, wheat is two dinars.
Nîsk jî buha ye, yek kîlo heft-heşt hezar e. Lentils are expensive too, one kilo is seven-eight thousand.
Tu ji gundê... You are from the village of...
Bila xwedê rehmê bike ser me, karê me tenê ev e. May God have mercy on us, our work is only this.
Karê me tenê çandinî ye. Our work is only farming.
Em pir kêfxweş bûn bi dîtina te. We were very happy to see you.
Hêviya rojên xweş. Hoping for happy days.
Hêviya te jî xweş be. May your hope be happy too.
Em herin cihekî din, em strana xwe bibihîzin. Let's go to another place, let's hear our song.
Em herin. Let's go.
