Hele nale kurek... hele nale nale nale nale nale. (Calling out to animals) Hele nale boy... hele nale nale nale nale nale.
Wal derbas be. Come on, pass through.
Çawayî? How are you?
Welle elhemdulîlah, mirhebe. By God, praise be to God, welcome.
Wer em derbas bin. Come, let's pass through.
Merheba xaltîkê. Hello, Auntie.
Tu çawayî? How are you?
Heyla qurban, heyla, heyla, heyla. Oh my dear, hello, hello, hello.
Allah te selîm ke ya Reb. May God keep you safe, oh Lord.
Navê te çi ye? What is your name?
Navê min Meyrem Mihemed Xelîl e. My name is Maryam Mohammed Khalil.
Xaltîka Meryem. Auntie Maryam.
Xaltîka Meryem tu çend salî ye? Auntie Maryam, how old are you?
Heftê û şeşan ketime, salek kêm heftê û şeşan. I have entered seventy-six, one year less than seventy-six.
Xwedê emrekî dirêj bide, siheta te xweş be. May God grant you a long life, may your health be good.
De sihet xweş... ez şekirê wargeha boş dikim. Good health... I suffer greatly from diabetes.
Erê. Ta xalê Şêxo ser heskirinê ev de bir lê? Yes. Did Uncle Sheikhou take you [marry you] based on love?
Na erê ma heskirin belkî ev de dîbî yorim. No, oh my, love? Maybe he had seen me [I say].
De dodo diçûyî le, bes rûkê ev birîk bû Heyder rehmetî bigota, go ev hatina min kî bibînin hem kî bixwazin. He used to go back and forth, but he had a slightly scarred face, the late Haydar used to say, "When I come, let them see me and ask for me."
Welle ne me nas dikir, ne me dîtî, û me ne ev dizanî. By God, we didn't know him, we hadn't seen him, and we didn't know this.
Bes birokî xwe yê mezin, Hesen yeye. But my eldest son is Hassan.
Û birokî min yê mezin... digotinê Ebû Ehmed, Şukrî yê li Şamê. And my eldest son... they called him Abu Ahmed, Shukri, who is in Damascus.
Haa ew destbirayê hev bûn birokê ev de, bes Ebû Zêr û wî va tim dihatin diçûn. Yes, they were blood brothers with his son, but Abuzer [her husband] and him were always coming and going.
Çavê te lê ket û we ev de bir? Did your eyes fall on him [did you like him] and you took him?
Çavê wî lê ket... axx xwedê te bixwaze. His eyes fell on me... Ahh, may God want you.
We ser heskirinê hevdu nebir? You didn't take each other based on love?
Na, heskirin çi tune. No, there was no such thing as love.
We çaxê we nebû yorim, we çaxê yanî... At that time it wasn't like that [I say], at that time, meaning...
Zava hevdû nedîtin. The groom [and bride] didn't see each other.
Na me evdu nedikir, ne me ji hev re dinivîsandin, ne me şûr dikirin, ne me... No we didn't do that, we didn't write to each other, we didn't consult, we didn't...
Feys mabeynê me dabûyî. Feys had been put between us.
Heta roja em dan... me fey dikir em herne der. Until the day we were given away... we thought we were just going outside.
Erê. Ne bi heskirinê bû yanî? Yes. So it wasn't out of love?
Na welle ha, na heskirinê bû. No, by God, no, it wasn't love.
Te qedera merê te baş bû, hecî bû? Was your husband's destiny good? Was he a Haji [pilgrim/elder]?
Hecî merivekî tebabe, hecî... merivekî... kê bimre kê bimîne. Haji was a quiet man, Haji... a man... whoever dies, whoever remains.
Xwedê wî bi rehma xwe şa bike, siheta te xweş be û emrê te dirêj be xaltîka Meryem. May God bless him with His mercy, may your health be good and your life long, Auntie Maryam.
De sihet xweş be de yorim, xwedê teala tûcê we nebîne, destê xwe ser we gîro bigre, xwedê... Good health to you [I say], may God Almighty never show you pain, may He keep His hand over all of you, God...
Dilxweşîkê, tiştekî, qîzkê me, bûkê me, kû... (crying). Happiness, something, our daughter, our bride, where... (crying).
Ahhh xwedê, kû heft lawê min li wir dûrê min tin. Ahhh God, where my seven sons are there far away from me.
Ey ware... zora neke xaltîka Meryem, wişta wadeyê dinê ye. Dê hinek jiyanê nav destê xwe çîn xaltîkê. Oh dear... don't force it Auntie Maryam, such is the fate of the world. Some will leave life from our hands, Auntie.
Erê welle, deha zêr li Şamê. Selam li, o Almanyayê. Yes, by God, ten gold [figurative or name] are in Damascus. Greetings to, oh, Germany.
Helel, û landoyê [London]. [Probably names of children in] Halal, and London.
Yekî rosta min Tirk e. One of my neighbors is Turkish.
Sê çorik min jî... heyranê te bim. My three little ones too... may I be a sacrifice for you.
Em man li vir... heyata me çû, em li Helebê bûn. We remained here... our life passed, we were in Aleppo.
Heftê û şeş salî emrê min e, heyata min çû... ez zanim Heleb, mehremî Heleb, hemû de Heleb, qîzê me çar in, ew jî li Helebê ne. Seventy-six years is my age, my life is gone... I know Aleppo, the intimate parts of Aleppo, all of Aleppo, we have four daughters, they are also in Aleppo.
Xo qîzkê dûr meriv... Well, daughters distant from a person...
Ez wî bûm... emrê wî heştê û şeşî, min heftê û şeş. I was his... his age was eighty-six, mine seventy-six.
Hekîm çine hedegirî yorim. Why is the doctor crying [I say].
Xwedê sebirê bide te xaltîka Meryem. May God give you patience, Auntie Maryam.
Bes deha em dikişînin derdê xwe, kî bimîne kî bimre. But now we suffer our pain, whoever remains, whoever dies.
Xwedê siheta te xweş ke, te 'aliye we nebîne, ser çavê we gîro biştekim yorim. May God give you good health, may He not show you suffering, I kiss your eyes [I say].
Tu ji hecî razî bûyî? Were you satisfied/happy with Haji?
Hecî, rohma xwedê lê be, merivekî, yanî ne pîs bû. Haji, may God's mercy be on him, was a man, meaning he wasn't bad.
Baş bû, ji te razî bû? Was he good? Was he satisfied with you?
Welle, ez jê razî me, xwedê jê razî be. Gava mirim... By God, I am satisfied with him, may God be satisfied with him. When I die...
Ana hezar neqlî... cefayê min, qîzkê xwarê diqîj, lo li gya helandin. Mother [me], a thousand times... my suffering, the daughter down there screaming, oh how they melted/suffered.
Înşela gê rind bin, û gê destê xwe xwedê ser ra bigre, û siheta xweş be gya de, tehlî tûcê kesî nebîne ya Reb. God willing they will be well, and may God hold His hand over them, and good health to all, may no one see bitterness or pain, oh Lord.
Hemkî bêçim bû. We are all poor/helpless.
Ax ax. Oh, oh.
Zora neke xaltîka Meryem. Hinek jiyana bedew le xweşî... Don't stress yourself, Auntie Maryam. Some beautiful life, in happiness...
Deşta wada ye dinê ye. Her kesekî mirin heq e. Such is the plain/fate of the world. Death is a right [inevitable] for everyone.
Na welle ne b'dilê xwe çûnim ecme. Na. No, by God, I didn't go with my heart [willingly] to marry. No.
Wa çaxê na. At that time, no.
Hîşt emî derbas dikir. You were still passing [spending] time.
Kî bêçim, desmala tîqî serê min bû. Poor me, a scarf was tight on my head.
Bêje, ez tiştekî dibêjim te, ba'dîna me çi gerek bît, telefon ke, ezê werim. Tell me, I am telling you something, if you need anything afterward, call, I will come.
Sihet... te xweş yorim, ba'dîna welle pir em dost kin. Gav dîtin pir d'bên te diko me, pir d'bên te bofkê me, bavê zêro... Health... good to you [I say], afterward, by God, we made many friends. Whenever we saw them, they said many things to us, they said many things to our bride(?), Father of Zero [Abuzer]...
No rindî ne, hemdu lillah, ji xwedê û ji gya razî be, hecî me nas dikir, qîmetê me jî zanin, xatirê me jî zanin. Not good(?), Praise be to God, may He be satisfied with God and everyone, I respected/knew Haji, they know our value, they know our honor.
Wey du emrê me rûn mezin yorim, me rûn nayê rehetin. Oh, two of our lives grew old [I say], our lives are not comfortable.
Bes siheta me ne rehet e. But our health is not comfortable.
Ebû Zêr dîsa siheta xwe rind e, bes ya min tim nexweş e. Kê bêm çi. Abuzer's health was still good again, but mine is always sick. What can I say.
Xwedê siheta te xweş te de, û emrê dirêj te de xaltîka Meryem. May God give you good health, and give you a long life, Auntie Maryam.
Her'o bê jiyorim, siheta te xweş be, kî... Come every day [I say], may your health be good, who...
Ez pir kefxweş bûm, îro hatim gundê Kêlîbû, nîvandarê we me. I was very happy, today I came to Kelibo village, I am your guest.
Welle me jî kefkirî, me jî pir kefkirî. By God, we were happy too, we were very happy too.
Hûn hatin, ne ta telefn kir go ekê werim Mûsa serî min qop o çix bûbû. You came, didn't you call saying 'I will come'? Musa, my head was spinning/confused(?).
Serî we sax be. May your head be healthy [Condolences or blessing].
Hecî kirmanc qopî miş gya ro çix. Haji Kurmanj... [unclear] all went out(?).
Bes ewa jî loyê min e, wey qîzî qîzî... But that is also my son, oh daughter daughter...

Miş... xêr hatin, ser çavê min, ser serî min, ser çavê min, xwedê siheta te xweş be gya de. ...Welcome, on my eyes, on my head, on my eyes, may God give you good health to all.
Û silavê me Hecî Nas ji gya re hene, xwedê siheta xweş be gya de. Înşela caw rind be, gi bi fitilin mal. And our greetings, Haji Nas(?), are for everyone, may God give good health to all. God willing the place will be good, may they all return home.
Û sax silamet be, helek da ye, wana kef kin, em gip kefxweşiya xwe bin yorim. And be safe and sound, give [greetings] to the people(?), make them happy, may we all be in our happiness [I say].
Înşela, cejnê ra gê warin, gê biftilin, el cem wa bin, ne dûr bin. God willing, for the Eid they will come, they will return, they will be with you, they won't be far.
Înşela, înşela. God willing, God willing.
Siheta te xweş, xwedê ji te razî be xaltîka Meryem. Good health to you, may God be satisfied with you, Auntie Maryam.
Xwedê ji te jî xweş, xwedê siheta xweş te de jiyorim, taliya te nebînim, xwedê destê xwe ser te rabigre bavo... May God be good to you too, may God give you good health too [I say], may I not see your suffering, may God hold His hand over you, father...
Hezar nexlî, xwedê rehma xelê mirî gya ke. A thousand times, may God have mercy on the soil of everyone's dead.
Barekê bêm çi. What can I say.
Tê heywa derbas ke. Just pass the time/moon(?).
Beş sihet xweş... But good health...
