Çîçek jî ji cem... mehla me ya be'dîna Mîlawa me yê no. The flower is also from... our neighborhood further down, from our Milawa.

We da çûye? Was it a relief/Did it go well?
Pir (Rind) derbas bû. It went very well.
Kêfa we li warê xwe hat? Were you happy to be in your homeland?
Erê, em gihîştin mala xwe. Hertişt... Yes, we reached our home. Everything...
Gî (giş) biftilin... May everyone return...
Te hat û piştî wî jî metê te Xalê Hemîd jî hat. You came, and after that your Aunt [referring to herself] and Uncle Hemîd also came.
Hemdûllah, hemdûllah ya reb. Praise God, praise God, oh Lord.
Xalê Hemîd, piştî 22 salan... 22 sal li xerîbiyê... Uncle Hemîd, after 22 years... 22 years in exile...
22 salan em li Stenbolê bûn. We were in Istanbul for 22 years.
Piştî 22 salan te fitle (vegeriya) li ser axa xwe wekî dibêjin. After 22 years, you returned to your soil, as they say.
Erê. Yes.
Hinekî behsa keyfa xwe ji me re bêje. Em dixwazin hecî li gurbetê ne biftilin warê. Tell us a bit about your joy. We want everyone in exile to return to the homeland.
Amîn, inşallah. Em jî dixwazin, saeta te xweş. Xwedê bi kêfa we bike. Û em rica dikin her kes biftile, mala xwe, welatê xwe. Amen, God willing. We also want that, bless you. May God grant your wishes. And we request everyone to return to their home, their country.
Ji welatê me rintir (rindtir) tuneye, kesî dîtibe tune bî. There is nothing better than our country, no one has seen [anything better].
Rastî, min li Stenbolê nefesa min teng dibû. Honestly, in Istanbul, my breath was getting tight.
Nefesa min işta (wisa) yanî teng dibû, nefesa min rind dernediket. My breath was like that, getting tight, my breath wouldn't come out well.
Elhemdillah ez hatim, di ro û nîva hatim, tebîeta me maşallah, wînê (hûnê) bibînin, noka tebîeta gundê me ji oksîjena xwe pak e, elhemdillah. Praise God I came, I came in a day and a half, our nature is Mashallah, you will see, now the nature of our village is pure with its oxygen, praise God.
Elhemdillah ji Xwedê re. Yanî... ciyê me ye, em tê da mezin bûn e. Tiştî wekî axê me ra tuneye, welatî me ra tuneye. Praise be to God. I mean... it is our place, we grew up in it. There is nothing like our soil, nothing like our country.
Erê. Yes.
Xalê Hemîd, wekî dibêjin dîsa hemdû sena li selametiya te. Uncle Hemîd, as they say, again praise be for your safety.
Te fitle pak delal, mala xwe... ya şaş... yanî de êşan îşê xwe tîne ser ev da, te tedawiya xwe jî ew bike û ti dê... You returned pure and dear, to your home... or... I mean if someone brings their pain/work here, you will do your treatment and you will...
Bi izna Xwedê, tu kês bî (pispor bî) karê xwe bikî. Wek em zanin... With God's permission, you will be an expert and do your work. As we know...
İnşallah, inşallah. Em jî hatin, em dixwazin em miletê xwe, işta (wisa) alîkariya wan bikin. God willing, God willing. We also came, we want to help our people like this.
Milet rehetkî... [Make] the people comfortable...
Tu kîneyê karê xwe ji her kesî li me se (seh) dike, vira xeber de. [About] the nature of your work, for everyone listening to us, speak here.
Tu wek em zanin, tu 'mucebir'ek Erebî ye. Me çend carê xwe ji te re hene (anîne). As we know, you are an Arab 'bone setter' (traditional chiropractor). We have brought ourselves to you several times.
İnşallah. Alemek jî elhemdillah me nas dike û me pir jî çêkirine. God willing. A lot of people, praise God, know us, and we have fixed many too.
Ema (lê) xoceb (daxwaz) ji me ra dihatin, em xîmê (xema) teyara difirîn. Û ser serî me, em hatin inşallah em xizmeta miletê xwe jî bikin. But requests were coming to us, we were flying with the speed of airplanes. And on our heads, we came, God willing, we will serve our people too.
E bab û bapîrê me, sed salan ev karî dikim. Uh, our fathers and grandfathers, I have been doing this work for a hundred years [generations].
Û inşallah, inşallah em xweş man, emê heta ko nebin (kengî hebin), emê miletê ji xwe re jî çêkin, mîsê (mîna) mederê (bav û kala). And God willing, God willing, as long as we remain well, as long as we exist, we will treat the people for ourselves too, like the ancestors.
Û dïsik (disk), fitiq, navik, bûçik, heykelê... ezmî (hestî), elhemdillah ez miste'id im, ez ji kî re derman dikim (dihêwirînim). And discs, hernia, navel, tailbone, skeletal... bones, praise God I am ready, I treat anyone.
Û inşallah, inşallah alem kêda (kêfa) alî me bike, bi izna Xwedê. And God willing, God willing, people will be happy with us, with God's permission.
Ema îşê min, ez ê bibim îşê min e... ne îşê min be ez qurmîş nabim. But my work, I will handle my work... if it's not my work, I won't touch it.
Û elhemdillah bi vî îşê me, şifaliq e (şifa ye) û kî jî dua li me dikin, bi izna Xwedê. And praise God, with this work of ours, it is healing, and people pray for us, with God's permission.
Xalê Hemîd, gundê Qudê ez hatim... ez berê (cara yekem) lerim (lê me) têm tab'en. Uncle Hemîd, Qudê village, I came... naturally, I am here for the first time.
Gundê Qudê li bilindiyê, li serê çiyayekî dikeve. Qudê village is situated on a height, on top of a mountain.
Li nahiya Raco dikeve ne? It falls within the Raco district, right?
Tebe'en (tabî), mabeyna me û Raco 8 kîlometre, 7 nîv ne (in). Naturally, between us and Raco is 8 kilometers, or 7 and a half.
Dûra 7 kîlometre, 8 kîlometre ji nahiya xwe dûr dikeve. About 7 kilometers, 8 kilometers away from its district.
Xalê Hemîd, xê (çima) nav lê kirin gundê Qudê? Uncle Hemîd, why did they name it Qudê village?
Tebe'en, e (ew) li sîftahê (serê pêşîn) rûniştî, Qudê bîn (bûne) navê xwe. Naturally, those who settled first, Qudê was their name.
Ê tew sîftahî rûniştî, gûr... pîşo (pêşiyên) me, gûr... meselen kalkê me, bavkê me digotin... Those who settled very first... our ancestors... for example, our grandfathers, our fathers used to say...
Û gund jî we dibî (dibê), digot navê xwe Qudê bî. And the village too, as it is said, he said his name was Qudê.
Însanê kû (ku) di vî derî navê xwe Qudê bî. The person who was in this place, his name was Qudê.
Piştî wî, malbatik (malbatek) li vir çêkir. After him, a family was formed here.
Piştî wî malbata çêkir, nav lê kirin gundê Qudê. After the family was formed, they named it Qudê village.
Û bi Erebî jî vêra dibêjin Murtefa. And in Arabic, they call it Murtefa.
Eywa (erê), Murtefa, erê. Yes, Murtefa, yes.
Li balê Xwedê, be'îv (behîv) di vî gundî da pirr ne (hen). By God, there are many almonds in this village.
Be'îv jî hene, mişmiş jî hene, û... yanî... There are almonds, there are apricots too, and... I mean...
Em ji xwedê... elhemdillah giya (gih) heye yanî. From God... praise God, there is everything (grass/crops) I mean.
Û gundê me jî tebîeta xwe pirr rinde, bilind e... teqrîben hezar... And our village's nature is very good, it is high... approximately a thousand...
Yanî min... ne munaqere (muqarne/pîvan) kirî, ji berê me dibîn (dibêjin) yanî ne... hind dibên nesed (nehsed), hind dibên hezar û dused (du sed). I mean I... haven't measured it, from before they say... some say nine hundred, some say a thousand and two hundred.
Û rind e, cewê (hewayê) gundê me pirr rinde, û li bilindiyê ye, li hemberê Lîwa Skenderûn e. And it is good, the weather of our village is very good, and it is at a high altitude, opposite the Liwa Iskenderun (Hatay).
Noka her serxaniyê (serbanê) me, Lîwa Skenderûn xuya tê. Gêçkê (keçika) xwe biftil, Heleb xuya tê. Now, from every rooftop of ours, Liwa Iskenderun is visible. Turn its girl (side?), Aleppo is visible.
Û dörşîniyê (dîmenê) me ge (gelek) oçiq (vekirî) e yanî. And our view is very open/clear.
Gundê Qudê bixwe li bilindiyê dikeve. Qudê village itself is located on the heights.
Wextê ez ji rêkê (rê) ra hatime, gi (giş) nava (nah) li wî baxçanê wûrgî (hûrikî) kirine keras (gêlaz). When I came from the road, they have turned all [the area] now in those small gardens into cherries.
Gundî we keras jî pir kirine. Your village has grown a lot of cherries too.
Erê. Keras jî hene. Berê digotin hirmê. Noka ew hirmê no (ne) tinen. Yes. There are cherries too. Before, they used to speak of pears. Now those pears are not there.
Yanî hirmê... tişkî (tiştekî) asarî bû cema (li cem me). I mean pears... were something ancient/historical for us.
Hirmê di ku de diçandin, no (ne) meselen... tirodor (traktor) me û diçandin... Where they planted pears, not for example... our tractors and planting...
Hawa (wisa)... te biçûya (biçûya) kûçê (binê) rezî, îlle me hirmok no (yek) hebû. Ya qeşermît (cureyek hirmê) ya vêra digotin qeşermît, ew jî wekî hirmê bû. Like that... if you went to the bottom of the vineyard, we definitely had a pear tree. Or "qeşermît" (a type of pear), they called it qeşermît here, that was also like a pear.
Pirr xweş bû, pirr. It was very good, very.
Gundê Qudê berê hirmê tê de pir bûn, naha jî baxçê xwe gi (giş) kirine mişmiş û be'îv û keras. Qudê village used to have many pears, now they have turned all their gardens into apricots, almonds, and cherries.
Tebe'en, mişmiş, be'îv, keras û zeytûn me meselen... Naturally, apricots, almonds, cherries, and our olives for example...
Û çoyê (çiyayê) me jî, te çitlê (şitlê) kelem (qelem) diagozê (daxwaz e) yanî. Çoyê me jî dixemilê bi tiştê wana. And our mountain too, you graft the seedling [as] it requires. Our mountain is also adorned with those things.
Heşînahî (hêşinahî) bixwas (bixwaze) îlle me (em) yên noka... heta meha pêncê... em... taliyê (dawiya) pêncê maşallah cewê (hewayê) gund tebîeta gund ge (gelek) heşîn e, rind dibe yanî. Greenery if you want, definitely we are now... until the fifth month... we... at the end of the fifth [month], Mashallah the weather of the village, the nature of the village is very green, it becomes good.
Buharê maşallah xweş kiriye. Rê da jî hatim, worte şeqim (şeqe) peqiye (teqiye). Gundê we xweş, li bilindiyê ye. Spring has made it beautiful, Mashallah. I came on the road too, the middle is split/bursting [with green/flowers]. Your village is nice, it is on the heights.
İnşallah, e, erê. God willing, uh, yes.
Dore çiqas malbat vê gundê? Around how many families [are] in this village?
Velle gundê me... teqrîben... aîle yanî... By God, our village... approximately... families I mean...
Erê çiqas mal e? Yes, how many houses?
Mal, teqrîben nîzkî (nêzîkî) sê sedî ye. Houses, approximately close to three hundred.
Nêzîkî sê sed mal heye. There are close to three hundred houses.
Erê. Yes.
Û inşallah her kesî li xerîbiyê jî biftile. Û dîsa hemdû sena, tu bi xêr û silamet gihişt mala xwe. And God willing, everyone in exile will also return. And again praise be, you reached your home in goodness and safety.
Em dêk û bavkê xo, serê milkê xo... We are with our parents, on our property...
