Belê, îro jî em li gundê Serincakê ne. Yes, and today we are in the village of Serincakê.
Dengê dahol û zurnê pir xweş tê. The sound of the drum and zurna (flute) comes very pleasantly.
Em spasya miletê gund dikin. We thank the people of the village.
Gelek urf û edetê me mane, haya roja îro bi me ra gav bi gav dimeşin. Many of our customs and traditions remain, walking with us step by step until this very day.
Îro jî gundê Serincakê xwestin vê urf û edetê xweşî bikin. Em ê nîkî bi hev ra nas bikin. Merheba ji were. Today, the village of Serincakê wanted to perform these pleasant customs. We will get to know them together. Hello to you.
Ehlen û sehlan, bixêr û selamet hatine. Welcome, you have come in goodness and safety.
Sax bî. Em destpêkê te nas bikin? Be healthy. Shall we get to know you first?
Navê min Cemalê Elîkê, mi ra dibêjin heval. My name is Cemalê Elîkê, they call me 'heval' (friend).
Ser çavê me Apê Cemal. You are welcome (upon our eyes), Uncle Cemal.
Sax bî. Be healthy.
Dayê em te jî nas bikin? Merheba ji te ra jî. Mother, shall we get to know you too? Hello to you as well.
Mi ra dibêjin Xedîce. They call me Xedîce.
Ser çavê me Dayê. You are welcome, Mother.
Apê Cemal, bavê Cemal... Uncle Cemal, father Cemal...
Bûyrim (Fermo). Yes (Go ahead).
Di çiyayê Kurmênc de, di herêma Efrînê de, gelek urf û edetê me hebûn, haya roja îro mane. In the Kurmenc mountain (Kurd-Dagh), in the Afrin region, we had many customs and traditions that have remained until today.
Temam. Okay.
Weş jî xwest îro hîn tişkî çêbikin. Ez daxwazim tu biaxivî. You also wanted to do something today. I would like you to speak.
Adet û urfê me yê kevin û berê da... Our customs and traditions of old and the past...
Ji kevin da hinek çûne, hinek jî mane. Some from the old days are gone, and some remain.
Em heta nokna jî hinek hene we dikin, em kî dusa we bikin, berê... Even until now, there are some we still practice, if we do it like that again... before...
Di dawer bûn, dera bûn, nokna giyan moqî ne derketine, tişt nemaye. Dawer nemaye. There were weddings, there were circles (dances/gatherings), now all those things have gone out of fashion, nothing is left. The circles are gone.
Niha nokna, em kî bika pevra bigeherin, adete berê ji kevin da mane. Now, currently, if we compare with each other, the customs of the past from the old days remain.
Du ro, sê ro, li defê dixistin. For two days, three days, they would play the drum.
Şan û şûret çêdikirin... li ser bêdera cîkî fere. They would perform plays/shows... on the threshing floor, a wide place.
Xwarin çêdikirin... em jê re digotin Keşkek. They made food... we called it Keşkek (Wheat stew).
E, dewata me digot Keşkek çêdikirin. Yes, at the wedding we said they made Keşkek.
Me ew malbatê... helak dibûn di wê ewê da... xwarin ji hemû miletî giya re dikirin. We, that family... would get exhausted in that [process]... they made food for all the people, for everyone.
Du ro, sê ro, mîvan... miletê gund derdê wan giyan dikişandin. Her hineka derdê hineka dikişand. Two days, three days, guests... the village people, they all shared each other's troubles. Everyone shared the burden of others.
Ji du gunda da, çar gunda da, xelk... giyan re hatin, gi dihatin û xizmetî wan giya dikirin gundî. From two villages, from four villages, people... everyone would come, everyone came and the villagers served them all.
Bil axe jî gundê me zêde yanî hurmet dikin, û hurmetî mîvana, merî xerîb, heta nohka jî ew adet û teqalîd me heta nokna li cem me mane. Especially our village, meaning they respect a lot, respect for guests, for strangers, even until now those customs and traditions remain with us until now.
Apê Cemal... Nanê te bi hesab bûk dikir... Belê çawa bûk bi hev digeheriyan? Uncle Cemal... [Regarding] your bread... But how did brides exchange/marry?
Terefê bûkê, ew zêfe bûn. Hinek ez zêfe biçin cem bûkê. The bride's side, they were a crowd. Some, a crowd, would go to the bride.
Du mer wakî min, wakî vî merî... Two men like me, like this man [points to someone]...
Em dihatin, recûyê vî malî bikin. We came to make a request to this household.
Û em kî bûkê... qîzê we, bi vî malî bigrin... Me ji hevdu hez nekira se, me marliq bi hev re nedikir heval. And if we... take your daughter for this house... If we didn't love each other, we wouldn't negotiate the dowry/contract with each other, friend.
Em ê bibên... Pismam, mesela birayê min... Let's say... Cousin, for example my brother...
Me adet û urfê me yek in, û miletê me yek e. Our customs and traditions are one, and our people are one.
Em ji hevdu hez dikin, em gi kurd in û em ji miletê hev in. We love each other, we are all Kurds and we are of the same people.
Gerek em... keç û xort bi hev didin. We must... give girls and boys to each other [in marriage].
Ma'nî kî bidarî kurda jî hinda nebe, bedar di cî da bimîne. Meaning, so that the Kurdish seed is not lost, so the seed remains in its place.
Û heta nokna jî elhemdulillah wanokî mayî. And until now, praise be to God, it has remained like that.
Bidar xerîb neketiye nav me, bidarî me gi di cî da mayî ye. Strange seed hasn't entered among us, our seed has all remained in place.
Û qîçikê me jî, elhemdulillah, adet û urfê me yê berê... And our little ones too, praise be to God, our customs and traditions of the past...
... û miletê berê çûnûkî bû, ew dima heta nokna hîn ser we'dê xwe ne, ser soza xwe ne, gi ji hevdu jî hez dikin. ...and how the people of the past were, that remains even until now, they are still on their promise, on their word, they all love each other.
Ji berî vî çiqas sal da ji hevdu hez dikirin, heta nokna jî gundê me wanokî serketine, ji gundê me ra inşallah hevalê min. From years ago they loved each other, until now our village has succeeded like that, for our village, God willing, my friend.
Bijî jara. Dayê ma Xedîce jî... Tu çi daxwaz dikî? Adetê berê, li ser çi, berê urf û edetê me yê berê, tu çi daxwazê bêjî? Long live. Mother Xedîce as well... What do you wish for? The customs of the past, regarding what, before, our customs and traditions of the past, what do you wish to say?
Ez ser urf û adetê berê... ez daxwazim yanî... Regarding the customs and traditions of the past... I wish/prefer, you know...
Me go em vê gaurînê bigawirin... Yanî vê cîrî tengî li me ra, gî zanin ku gaurîn heye. We said let's do this change [procession]... Meaning, this narrow/difficult situation for us, everyone knows there is a change.
Urf û adetê me yê berê hene. We have our customs and traditions of the past.
Bil mistaqbel... ji cîrîna duginê ra... For the future... for the coming generation...
Ee, ji vê zorûkna ra, hew ji bi urf û adetê teqalîdê xwe, kurda ba elimîn. Yes, for these children, so they also learn the customs, traditions, and ways of the Kurds.
Yanî hef tişt a heye. Meaning, there is such a thing.
Çaxê ku vî extîra dîna me go em jina bigawirin... When these elders introduced this... saying let's exchange women/brides...
Jina çaxê ku teke jina bigawire, teb'an her taraf darin cem hevdu. Women, when one exchanges/marries a woman, naturally every side goes to each other.
Riciya ji hev dikin. Her taraf razî dibin. They request from each other. Every side agrees.
Jina xwe bigawirê, malbat mezin dibin, hezkirin çêdibe. [When] they exchange their women, families grow larger, love is created.
Yanî tim û tim gerek hezkirina kurda mezin bibe. Û inşallah ê mezin bibe. Meaning, always and forever, the love of the Kurds must grow. And God willing, it will grow.
Na, berê bûk siwar dikirin. No, before they put the bride on a horse.
Erê. Yes.
Zarok li ku derê çêdikirin pişta bûkê? Where did they put the child behind the bride?
E, bûk siwar dikirin li hespê, zarok çêdikirin pişta wê, balgîk jî didan pêşiyê. Yes, they mounted the bride on the horse, they put a child behind her, and they put a pillow in front too.
Digot manî, we zaroka didan pişt, digot manî lawkî xwe bibe. They said meaning, putting that child behind meant she should have a boy/son of her own.
Wê rojê em li Navçeya Şeran bûn... wan jî eyna bi vî rengî bûk li hespê siwar kirin. That day we were in Sheran District... they also mounted the bride on a horse in this exact same way.
Zava şekir çêkir li ser bûkê... The groom threw candy over the bride...
Erê rast e. Yes, that's true.
Belê digotin mîz didan bûkê. Dema rê dûr ba, li hespê dikir, mîz didanê... Ji bo çi ew mîz no? But they said [the child] peed on the bride. When the road was far, on the horse, he would pee on her... What was that pee for?
E bi Xwedê mîz e ez wana nizanm... Oh by God, pee, I don't know about that...
Bes yanî, zarok digotin mla... zarokekî wan bibin, law bibin. But you know, the child, they said may... may they have a child, may it be a boy.
E, law. Yes, a boy.
Bira jî hevgawirîna me... The brother too...
Bira jî hevgawirîna me... The brother too, our intermarrying...
Malbata zava diçe keçka xwe tîne nuqte. The groom's family goes and brings their girl, full stop.
Malbata din keçka xwe tîne nuqte. The other family brings their girl, full stop.
Bi hevdu diguherin. They exchange with one another.
Çaxê bi hevdu guherîn, her kes bûka xwe dibe mal. Zat û pare, def, dîlan... When they have exchanged, everyone takes their bride home. Provisions and money, drums, dances...
Berê digotin keşkê dikirin, def û zurne. In the past, they said they made 'keşkê' (wheat dish), drums and flutes.
Xwarin yanê? You mean food?
Erê xwarin. Yes, food.
Keşke çêdikirin, digotin berê xwende. They made 'keşkê', they called it the 'reading' [ritual] in the past.
Cil û mîra radixistin. Doşekê hûriyê didan, balgî didan. They laid out rugs and bedding. They gave wool mattresses, they gave pillows.
Hemû miletê istîqbal dikirin. All the people would welcome them.
Qebûl dikirin, bi rêk û pêk, bi xêr... Nexweşî têda nebûn. They accepted them, properly, with goodness... There was no bad blood in it.
Yanê ew tiştê berê xweş bûn? So, those things of the past were good?
E tewan xweş bûn! Ji ber wê jî, vê bernameya "Ax û Welat" pir tiştan vedigerîne. Of course they were good! Because of that, this program "Land and Country" brings back many things.
Yanê tiştê dîrokê vedigerîne. Meaning, it brings back historical things.
Berê me nizanî, nokana em dîsa zanin. Bes pêşerojê me nizane. Before we didn't know, now we know again. But our future generation doesn't know.
Çaxê gohana çêbû, heft cîran jî zanibin, cîranê din jî werê zanibin. Xêr e, dibê dîrokê gunda dan. When it happened back then, seven neighbors would know, the other neighbors would come to know. It is good, it establishes the village history.
"Ax û Welat", bernameya "Ax û Welat", yanê dîrokê vedigerîne. "Land and Country", the program "Land and Country", brings back history.
Û her kes bûka xwe dibe mal, işta def û zurne û dawet û şahî û xwarin û... And everyone takes their bride home, well, drums and flutes and weddings and celebrations and food and...
Spas, spas dikim dayê. Thanks, thank you, mother.
Belê temaşevanên hêja, wek me bi hevre nas kir, naha di vê gundî de du bûk bi hev re diguherin. Yes, dear viewers, as we learned together, now in this village two brides are exchanging places.
Yanî naberê malbeta de ew îne... li ser rêkê qîz didin hev. Çawa diçin cem hevdu, naha jî em bûkan bi hev biguherin di vê gundî de. Meaning between the families they bring them... on the road they give the girls to each other. How they approach each other, now we will exchange the brides in this village.
Em bi hevre ne, gî temaşe bikin. We are together, let's all watch.
Were were, qurbanê te me... Come come, I am your sacrifice (I adore you)...
Kulîlka gundê me... The flower of our village...
Were were, qurbanê te me... Come come, I am your sacrifice...
Kulîlka gundê me... The flower of our village...
Şûla balê kêm e... The work of the mind is lacking (or context specific idiom)...

Belê, Newroz pîroz be ji wara. Yes, Happy Newroz to you all.
Pîroz be ji wara. Happy Newroz to you too.
Sax be. Be healthy.
Pîroz be ji wara jî. Happy Newroz to you as well.

Belê temaşevanên hêja, wek me bi hevre temaşe kir, çawa çûn her kes çûn bûka xwe anî, naha li vir, ev du bûk bi hev re diguherin. Yes, dear viewers, as we watched together, how everyone went and brought their bride, now here, these two brides are exchanging.
Berê bi vî awayî bû? Bi vî rengî bû? Was it like this in the past? Was it in this style?
Bi vî rengî bû. It was in this style.
Bi vî... hev rengan nakan... em tiştê berê dimeşînin. With this... matching colors... we are practicing the things of the past.
Hatin hemberî hev. Bûk hatin hemberî hev. They came opposite each other. The brides came opposite each other.
Hotoqilê me, yanê ke du bûk bi hev re biguherin. Em malbetin, ji hev hez dikin. Our tradition, meaning that two brides exchange with each other. We are families, we love each other.
Yanê hezkirineke di navbêna me de çêbû. Meaning a love occurred between us.
Û bûk û zava jî teb'an, giwan jî hev dîtin, hevdu hez kirin. And the bride and groom, naturally, they also saw each other, and loved each other.
Me got emkê, ew gî çêkin. We said we would, we would make it all happen.
Yanê gaurînêkê çêkin, milet hîn hezkirineke di navbêna gund de çêbibe. Meaning we make an exchange, so that even more love occurs within the village.
Em milet bi hev re şa bibe, tiştek, miletê noko (niha) pê keyfxweş bibe. So our people become happy together, something that the people of today will be delighted by.
Mamê Cemal jî? And Uncle Cemal?
Ya ahlan wa sahlan bi hatina we. Oh welcome, to your arrival.
Ava adet û teqalîdê me ye. This is our custom and tradition.
Ji bav û kalan de jî ma romayî ye. It has remained with us from our forefathers.
Naha emê bûkê xwe bi hevdu biguherî bikin. Emê bergane her kes herê mala xwe, ew şahiya xwe berdewam bike. Now we will exchange our brides with one another. We will... everyone will go to their own home, to continue their celebration.
Rûk û ziro û defê xwe emê lêxin. We will play our flutes and zurnas and drums.
Emê miletê xwe jî... We will [make] our people...
Bîrhanî... ew şabûnî wane bikin. Emê tiştê turasî xwe yê berê emê gi pêk bînin. Remember... make them happy. We will fulfill all our heritage traditions from the past.
Çiqa sêr û adet xweş bûn! How beautiful the customs and traditions were!
Tabî, tiştê berê pir xweş bûn. Sehke çiqas kîbar bûn. Naturally, the things of the past were very good. Look how elegant they were.
Milet tewaî lev kombûya. Sehke, di gundîkî de bûk û zavakî hevdu diguherin, yanê... The people were all gathered together. Look, in a village a bride and groom are exchanging, meaning...
Yanê hezkirinek milet ra çêdibê. Meaning a love is created for the people.
Belê, bi wî awayî dibê. Yes, it happens in that way.
Pîroz be ji wara. Congratulations to you all.
Tu sax bî, tu sax bî, serçava, ji we jî xweş. Ahlan wa sahlan. May you be healthy, may you be healthy, you are welcome, happy for you too. Welcome.
Dayê merheba. Hello, mother.
Ka av rojan, ew çi we te ye? Hello.
Ka av rojan, ew çi we te ye? Where is this water from, what is with you?
Hava berê, me hana kûz dikir, derbas dibûn. This is the water of the past, we used to use the jar like this, they would pass by.
Bûk derdixistin, zemanda av çê dikirin. Rind e, manê şa bibin. They would bring the bride out, in that time they made water/tea. It is good, so that the people become happy.
Miletê... av rind e manê bi hevdû ra şa bibin, me gawirî, işta em herin mala xwe. The people... water is good so that they become happy together, we exchanged, well, let us go to our home.
Turasê berê ye, rind e. It is the heritage of the past, it is good.
Hîn me l'hespa dikirin bûk. We still used to put the brides on horses.
Ê ko hesp noko tune bûn, nînûn. But since there were no horses now, they aren't here.
Me l'hespa dikir, heryo lekî jinik... We used to put them on horses, one like a woman...
Diskinî... û xortekî bi heşo dîwê hespê digirt. You stop... and a young man would hold the horse's bridle.
Û yekî serî hespê dikişand, em dimeşîn. And one would pull the head of the horse, and we would walk.
Me honikî dikir, derbas dibûn, îşta ser serî me, ser çavê me. We did it like that, they passed by, well, upon our heads, upon our eyes (you are welcome).
Pîroz be, ji wara jî pîroz be. Congratulations, congratulations to you all too.
Û welat ava be, û ava be, û ava be. And may the country be prosperous, and prosperous, and prosperous.
Ê dûr jî, gî vegerin werin. İnşallah. And the ones far away, may they all return and come. God willing.
Lîlîlîlîlîlîlî... [Ululation]
Wek me dît, daw û zurne lêket, govend jî gerî. As we saw, the drum and zurna played, and the dance circle turned.
Lê di govendê da jî, berê dawetê berê jî, hinek tişt hebûn. But in the dance too, in the weddings of the past too, there were some things.
Naha emê ji apê bipirsin, ka emê çi bikin. Now we will ask uncle, what we will do.
Apê, naha emê çi bikin? Uncle, what will we do now?
Emê govendê... govendê me xweş bû. We will [do] the dance... our dance was good.
Naha berê, bûka hebûn... bûkê dewletê hebûn... heyala bûka dihat. Now, in the past, there were brides... there were brides of wealth/state... the vision of the brides came.
Naha miji bûkê xanî yê tî... ez derketime nav sêrincêke. Now I [brought] the bride of the house... I have come out into a wrestling ring.
Nav dewatê, sêrincêke, kî şkand, ewê derkeve. In the wedding, a wrestling ring, whoever defeats [the other], he will come out [victorious].
Hawê derkeve! Werin! Let him come out! Come!
Kî dê were?! Who will come?!
Kî dê were? Who will come?
Werin! Come!
Kî dê were? Who will come?
Werin! Come!
Te jî hazir bike. Prepare yourself too.
Ev hevalo derkete... Here this friend came out...
Ji ber govendê... Because of the dance...
Ez hatime pêşiya te. I have come before you.
Na, dawet a me ye, daweta we şên kir. No, it is our wedding, you made our wedding lively.
Emkî bi bûkelaxê noko derkevin. We will come out with the puppets/wrestlers now.
Em dixwazin va bûkana rabin hevdû. We want these 'brides' (wrestlers) to stand against each other.
Kê bi kê kanî? Who can defeat whom?
Ê ser çi? Piştî kê kanî, ê çi bikin? And over what? After one defeats the other, what will they do?
Ewa şertê me... mabênê me da hene. That is our condition... it exists between us.
Emkî... ya wî fax, ya ew kê fax, ya em kê fax. We will... either he takes/wins, or that one takes, or we take.
Yanî şert heye? So there is a wager/condition?
Belê bûkê... bûkê jî derbûn dotin. Yes, the bride... the brides also came out.
Noko ê me guhê di gund dane. Now ours have given ear to the village (are famous).
Gî bûkê me guhê di gund dotin e çêkin. All our brides are famous in the village, we will do it.
Tabî a. Naturally.
Tabî. Naturally.
Yallah, berdin hev du. Come on, let them at each other.
Wa'y xweş be keko. Bon appetit, brother.
Ya ser çava. You are welcome.
Sihet xweş bû? Was it good?
Tu xêr hatî. Ya em çêkir abû ne... Bîna xweşiyê me bibe... Welcome. What we made was not... Let the good smell be ours...
Te tam kir? Te vexwar? Did you taste it? Did you drink?
Ta bî yo. It had taste.
Welle hevalê Şerîf şorbe xwaribî, min nika dîyar kir o. By God, friend Serif ate soup, I just noticed it.
Te şorbe xwaribî? You ate soup?
Welle hevalê Şerîf şorbe xwaribî. By God, friend Serif ate soup.
Min nizanî kî da kefe... I didn't know who gave the ladle...
Te çi xwaribû? What did you eat?
Şil xwaribû. I ate stew.
Serkeftin be. Good luck.
Spas dikim, ciyê we xweş e, welatekî xweş e. Thank you, your place is nice, it is a nice country.
Belê, li vir jî em ê xatirê xwe ji we bixwazin. Yes, here we will bid you farewell.
Li vir jî em gihîştin dawiya bernameya xwe. Here we have reached the end of our program.
Îro jî em li gundê Serincakê bûn. Today we were in the village of Serincak.
Em jî hêvî dikin we wextek xweş li ber ekranan derbas kiribe. We hope you spent a pleasant time in front of the screens.
Heta hefteyekî din, bimînin di nav xêr û xweşiyê da. Until another week, stay in goodness and happiness.
Bi xatirê we. Goodbye.
