النزوح والتهجير القسري مثل ما فرض على الناس إنها تنتقل من مكان إلى مكان ومن بيئة لبيئة، Displacement and forced migration, just as it forced people to move from place to place and from environment to environment,
فرض عليها تنقل أيضا تراثها وفلكلورها الغنائي معها. it forced them to move their heritage and musical folklore with them too.
العم أبو حسين مهجر قسرا من مدينة سراقب بريف إدلب. Uncle Abu Hussein was forcibly displaced from the city of Saraqib in the countryside of Idlib.
اليوم نحنا على موعد معه لحتى يعزفلنا على الربابة، الآلة الشعبية بسراقب، Today we have an appointment with him so he can play the rababa for us, the traditional instrument in Saraqib,
ولحتى يعتبلنا العتابة الشعبية اللي طالعة من قلبه ومن جوا بهالظرف الصعب. and to sing for us the traditional ataba that comes from his heart and from inside in this difficult situation.
تابعونا لنتعرف على أبو حسين، ونتعرف أيضا على غناءه وفلكلوره وربابته. Follow us to get to know Abu Hussein, and to also get to know his singing, folklore, and rababa.
السلام عليكم. Peace be upon you.

أهلا وسهلا فيكم. Welcome to you.
اللون تبعك حلو كتير، وفي من جوا واضح في معاناة، وفي جروح جوانية. Your style is very beautiful, and it's clear from inside there is suffering, and there are internal wounds.
طبعا أكيد يعني معاناة، نحنا معاناتنا مو من 2011 بس، معاناتنا من سنة السبعين. Of course, definitely suffering. Our suffering is not just from 2011, our suffering is from the year seventy.
صحيح. هلق بدي أتعرف عليك قبل كل شي. True. Now I want to get to know you first of all.
أنا عبد اللطيف العبيد من مدينة سراقب. I am Abdul Latif Al-Obaid from the city of Saraqib.
أهلا وسهلا فيك، شو كنت تشتغل؟ Welcome. What did you use to work as?
والله أنا كنت قصاب وبشتغل قصاب ومطعم، Well, I was a butcher and worked as a butcher and in a restaurant,
وبعدين أنا بالفترة الأخيرة يعني تركت الشغل، ولادي هني كانوا عم يشتغلوا بمحلات القصبة. and then recently I left the job, my children were working in the butcher shops.
طيب هلق هيدي الربابة إنت صنعتها من مفردات محلية هون؟ Ok, now this rababa, did you make it from local materials here?
إيه طبعا، هون أنا هي عبارة عن تنكة زيت وعصاية مساحة، وعود من شجرة الرمان، Yes of course, here it is just an oil tin and a mop stick, and a stick from a pomegranate tree,
وشريط من دبرياج الموتور، خلال نص ساعة بتكون جاهزة الربابة. and a wire from a motorcycle clutch. In half an hour, the rababa is ready.
هلق أنا اللي فهمته إنه إنت يعني حافظان المقامات. Now, what I understood is that you have memorized the maqams.
إيه ممارسة، أنا كنت أنا سميع بالأساس، أنا سميع. Yes, practice. I was a good listener basically, I'm a good listener.
بسمع لمحمد عبد الوهاب، بسمع لصالح عبد الحي، بسمع لماري جبران، بسمع لأم كلثوم، الأغاني القديمة، I listen to Mohamed Abdel Wahab, I listen to Saleh Abdel Hai, I listen to Marie Jubran, I listen to Umm Kulthum, the old songs,
من أغاني الثلاثينات، وكل أغنية بعرفها بدقة، بأي مقام، وبأي كل ما انتقل المطرب من مقام لمقام أنا بتابعه وبعرفه. from the songs of the thirties. And every song I know exactly in which maqam, and every time the singer transitions from one maqam to another, I follow him and know it.
تمام. معنا هلق بدك تسمعنا اللون المحلي، اللون السراقبي اللي جبته معك لهون لكفر دلة فوقاني. Great. Meaning now you want to play for us the local style, the Saraqib style that you brought with you here to Kafr Dalla Fawqani.
لنشوف كيف تأثرت كمان هون يعني بهاد الهوى العليل وهاد الصنوبر والسرو، Let's see how you were affected here too by this gentle breeze, these pines and cypresses,
والبيئة الحلوة الجبلية، جيت من منطقة شبيهة يعني شوي زراعية أو أقرب إلى الصحراء شوي، and the beautiful mountainous environment. You came from a similar area, somewhat agricultural or slightly closer to the desert,
إلى منطقة جبلية ومشجرة، وفيها خضار. كيف تأثرت؟ سمعنا. to a mountainous and wooded area with greenery. How were you affected? Let us hear.
نعم والله حقيقة أنا بدي قلك يعني أنا بالبداية كنت كتير تعبان نفسيا، Yes, well truthfully I want to tell you, in the beginning I was very tired psychologically,
لكن بمواجهة ومقابلة هالناس الطيبين بهالقرية بالذات، but facing and meeting these good people in this village in particular,
يعني نسوني كل همومي، وخلوني كتير إني أكون مبسوط وسعيد، لأنه من أطيب ناس وأروع ناس، they made me forget all my worries, and made me very happy and glad, because they are among the best and most wonderful people,
وكنا نتمنى نكون نعرفهم بغير هيك ظروف. and we wished we could have known them under different circumstances.
إن شاء الله السوريين كلهم أخوة. تفضل. God willing, all Syrians are brothers. Go ahead.

ولعقب غيبتكم عني يا خلاني، تملكون. And after your absence from me, my friends, you own.
معتم ما بزغ بيها الضيا. It has become dark, no light shines in it.

مقام الصبا. طيب خلينا نسمع باعتبار وقتنا شوي قصير، خلينا نسمع شي من وحي الرحلة من سراقب لهون. The Saba maqam. Ok, let's hear, since our time is a bit short, let's hear something inspired by the journey from Saraqib to here.
وحي التهجير والنزوح القسري، بغير مقام. The inspiration of forced displacement and migration, in a different maqam.
يا يابا وأنا لأبكي على حالي وأنوحاي. Oh father, and I will cry over my state and wail.
وبعيني حليت الدنيا وأنا حيا. And the world became sweet in my eyes while I am alive.
يا يابا ولا أبكي على حالي وأنوحاي. Oh father, and I will cry over my state and wail.
وبعيني حليت الدنيا وأنا حيا. And the world became sweet in my eyes while I am alive.
وصديق الما يودني بالدنيا. And the friend who does not love me in this world,
وأنا حي وشو أعمل بيه حدر ذرات التراب؟ while I am alive, what would I do with him under the grains of dust?
يا يابا يا يابا. Oh father, oh father.
