"Ez nadiketen, va bela li min ra çênebûya, û ez bûra regîniya sofî." "I wouldn't have fallen, this trouble wouldn't have happened to me, and I would have become the color of a Sufi."
Û jinikê dibê... min gotî: "Mêrko, te ji Xwedê nabo, qetirek, di derê min tere, wî biger, were em berê xwe darin." And the woman says... I said: "Man, you didn't get it from God, a mule, go through my door, look for him, come let's go on our way."
Û ewî jî dibê çi? Dibê: "De ji kerê û jinikê çûbûya, de şert... na... Reîsê mexferê yekî me de." And what does he say? He says: "If only the donkey and the woman had gone, on the condition... no... give us one Chief of the station."
"Ya kerê..." "Or the donkey..."
"Ez dê korê bikime." "I will make him blind."
Û hêlek berqê biskinî çûn cem Reîsê mexferê... And they stopped a bit of lightning [electricity] and went to the Chief of the station...
Wella, go: "Mêrek..." Well, he said: "A man..."
"Dibê, kî migul jinika xwe kiriba sa..." "Says, whoever would have done [it] with his wife then..."
"Ewê nexweşiya min nadî." "Wouldn't have seen my illness."
Jinik jî dibê: "Min bitara gotî: 'Te ji Xwedê nader, rehmetîra...'" The woman also says: "I told him clearly: 'You won't get it from God, for mercy's sake...'"
"Were jê veger, emê rêya xwe darin." "Come turn back from it, let us go on our way."
Û mêrê jî dibê... And the man also says...
"De, wî kûr... dibê ji kerê jinikê çûbûya, ya key destê min kevî." "So, that blind man... says if the woman's donkey had gone, or if it falls into my hand."
"Go dê her bol-bol hokerê werin." "He said plenty of 'hokers' [donkeys/people] will come."
[Laughs] [Laughs]
Mêre jinikê ro? Go: "Her du jinikê heva herin, û çok de gul jinê xwe ke." The woman's husband, right? He said: "Let both women go together, and kneel and do [it] to your wife."
"Woy jî penî kergî kûne xist, û go tê biqeherîne, çok da hera." "He also put a penny in the donkey's behind, and said 'you will annoy it', and kneeled there."
Û saeta we xweş, û Xwedê ji we razî be. And have a good time/hour, and may God be pleased with you.
Geşta we jî razî be. Yanî demek... wext nîne, gerek mara gel hev bike. May your trip be pleasing too. Meaning a time... there is no time, a man needs to do it with each other.
Ê lê? Oh really?
Gel jin be, gel mêr be, gerek mara... Whether with a woman, with a man, a man needs to...
Bêje: "Min go, tiştî gul jinê xwe ke." Say: "I said, do the thing to your wife."
"Heke nedikir, nediket hemdê." "If he didn't do it, he wouldn't fall into grief."
Saeta te xweş xalê Henan. Kekî dibê ez pir kêfxweş bim. Me hatim Sêvya û bere jî ez darim û têm. Inşallah emê hîn werin. Have a good time, Uncle Henan. Brother says I am very happy. I came to Sêvya and I go and come back again. God willing, we will come again.
[Inaudible] ... ser seran û ser çavan. [Inaudible] ... you are welcome (on heads and on eyes).
Tu bi xêr hatî, ser çava. You are welcome, upon my eyes.
De, işta razî be û Xwedê emrêkî dirêj bide te. So, may [God] be pleased with the work, and may God give you a long life.
Û wekî dibêjin, te emr... te hene, te gotin, te hene te kê bikî... And as they say, you have... age... you have sayings, you have things you do...
Vê vîdeo kê here ser Youtube, tu mişkîla cem te hene? If this video goes on Youtube, do you have any problem?
Milletê derva li te sêr ke, kêfxweş bibe. Xwedê emrêkî dirêj bide te, xalê Henan. Xwedê ji te razî be. The people abroad will watch you, they will be happy. May God give you a long life, Uncle Henan. May God be pleased with you.

Ziyaret pir kevin e, emrê xwe... teqrîben dibe hazar sal heye. The Shrine is very old, its age... it is approximately a thousand years old.
Em negiştine. We didn't reach [that time].
Emrê xwe hazar sal ne. Pir kevin e, dar û niştan. Its age is a thousand years. Very old, the trees and surroundings.
Bêro, Ziyaretê çîk dibên? Brother, what do they call the Shrine?

Erê, Ziyareta Hac Yûsif e. Yes, the Shrine of Hac Yûsif.
Tirbî vê gundî, de run nav vê Ziyaretê? The graves of this village, do they go [are they buried] inside this Shrine?
Teb'en, tirbe... nê tînin vêderê, erê. Of course, graves... no, they bring them here, yes.
Tirbî vê gundî de run nav vê Ziyaretê. The graves of this village go inside this Shrine.
Vê Ziyaretê, bes milletê Sêvya tên nav Ziyaretê, le ji derva yî Sêvya jî tên? This Shrine, do only the people of Sêvya come into the Shrine, or do those from outside Sêvya also come?
Na, bes milletê gund. Î vir û Efrîn, Heleb, Elmanya, kû bin, cenazê xwe tînin biro. No, only the people of the village. Those here and Afrin, Aleppo, Germany, wherever they are, they bring their funerals here.
Cenazî gundê Sêvya tên viderê, teba şandin. The funerals of the village of Sêvya come here, sent to rest.
Millet... wextî tê ba Ziyaretê, ji dervayî Sêvya jî tê, le bes le Sêvya derin ber vê Ziyaretê? The people... when they come to the Shrine, do they come from outside Sêvya too, or do only those from Sêvya go before this Shrine?
Ji gi daro tênê. They come from everywhere.
Mentîqa Efrîn, ek... ek mero tênê. The Afrin region, ev... every man comes.
Ewa... niho li mista cem li ba'dîno, Ziyareta Şêx Reşîd heye. So... now right next to us in Ba'dîno, there is the Shrine of Şêx Reşîd.
Teb'en, erê. Of course, yes.
Şêx Reşîd, Ziyareta cem e ba'dîno, mesela ji dervayî ba'dîno jî tên, ne bes ba'dîno tenê. Şêx Reşîd, the Shrine near Ba'dîno, for example, they come from outside Ba'dîno too, not just Ba'dîno alone.
Havo jî şikeftil... gundê Efrîn tên. Tên, erê, gi daro tên. This one too... [from] the villages of Afrin they come. They come, yes, they come from everywhere.
Wara em çişkê herin, mera xeber de... Come let's go a bit, talk to us...

Tirbe hene. Îşta û ocaq e. There are graves. Here is a hearth (holy spot).
Ê qurbanan lê bardikin, darda bardikin, işta wane. They slaughter sacrifices there, hang them on the tree, things like that.
Û ocaq e. And it is a hearth.
Em giştin niho nav Ziyareta Kekê Reşîd, viderê Ziyareta Sêvya. We have now arrived inside Brother Reşîd's Shrine, here is the Shrine of Sêvya.
Vêro dibên Ziyareta Hac... Here they call the Shrine of Hac...
Ziyaret Hac Yûsif. Shrine of Hac Yûsif.
Hac Yûsif. Hac Yûsif.
Ziyaret Hac Yûsif, erê. Shrine of Hac Yûsif, yes.
Ziyaret bi xwe pir kevin e. The Shrine itself is very old.
Em negiştine, Ziyaret pir kevin e. We didn't reach [its beginning], the Shrine is very old.
Dê çido û ocaq heye. There is a place and a hearth.
Nêtik xwe dikin, qurbanan lê bardikin, berê de hatin, sar salê, me'nê baranê. Qurbanan lê vir dikirin, dar dikirin. They make intentions/wishes, they slaughter sacrifices, they used to come, at the head of the year, for rain. They would slaughter sacrifices here, hang them up.
Û Ziyaret jî pir kevin e. And the Shrine is very old.
Kekê Reşîd, wek apolê xwe didimê, yanî Ziyaret, a halo ye? Yanî kes... Brother Reşîd, as I see with my eyes, meaning the Shrine, is it untouched? Meaning no one...
Newêre nêzîkî bibe, teb'en. No one dares get close to it, of course.
Newêre. They don't dare.
Ma hewala kirin, dar kirin, kesî nekarî tiştek bikira daro. They tried, to do something to the tree, no one could do anything to the tree.
Apolê xwe didimê, pir kîbar e, bilindî ye. Cî xwe... I see with my eyes, it is very grand, it is high up. Its place...
In polîto jê jêdikin, lê jê nakin. These [people] remove from it, but they don't remove [properly/completely - referring to branches].
Teb'en. Of course.
Jê dikin. They remove [branches].
Na, na, na, îna jê dikin. Jê dikin, debreşînin biro, dar dikin, biav dikin. No, no, no, they remove these. They remove them, sprinkle them here, hang them, water them.
Na, na, z... 'ûd e ye. Îşta nêtik te hebe, darek te hebe. No, no, it is a... stick/incense. If you have an intention, if you have a tree [wish].
Û wek em dibînin, niho li viderê, li Ziyareta Sêvya, û tirbe jî hene. And as we see, now here, at the Shrine of Sêvya, there are graves too.
Û çido jî pir dirêj e, cewî xwe jî pir xweş e. Yanî însan kênê darkevê seyranê jî viderê, vedahesê. And the place is very long/spacious, its weather is very nice. Meaning if a person comes out for a picnic here, they can rest.
Teb'en, teb'en. Of course, of course.
Bi şeklê 'am, gundê Sêvya, gundek pir bilindî ye. Generally speaking, the village of Sêvya is a very high village.
Teb'en, wekî bil'ade, meselên havînê denê pir germ dibe. Of course, as usual, for example in the summer the plains get very hot.
Em dibên biro, biro jî pir hênik e. We say here, here is very cool.

Lê de havînê pir hênik e. But in the summer it is very cool.
Hav te xweş bavê minê, dar deke. Îj Efrîn tî, erê de ne mesela tiştinî xwe tînin li berî didin, daxwan, vedixwin, darin. Have a good summer my father, hang [wishes]. They come from Afrin, yes, they bring their things before it, they ask, they drink, they go.
