De ka em derbasî gundê Teteran bibin. Come, let us enter the village of Tetera.

Ji mêj da, pir gund li dor me, miriyê xwe dianîn wî zaretî veşartin. Long ago, many villages around us brought their dead to bury at this shrine.
Miriyê berê jî bi qîmet bûn, hindik bûn. The dead of the past were also valuable, they were few.
Ji ciyê bilind dianîn, ji gundê Bozê dianîn, ji Baflûrê dianîn, ji Sênarê dianîn... They brought them from high places, from the village of Bozê, from Baflûrê, from Sênarê...

Çawa ye şevîn, yanî? What is 'şevîn' [night grazing], meaning?
Ber pez xwedî dikirin, didoştin, şîr... didoştin, der dikirin... Before, they raised sheep, milked them, milk... they milked, processed it...

Me dixwest kesekî mabetê hebe, bes kesê mabetê li vir tune ye. We wanted there to be someone from the area [locals currently visiting], but there is no one from the area here.
Wallahî dema... Şuxulê vî miletî naha otîkê, kes ji mabetê derê... By God, when... The work of these people now [harvest/season], no one is out from the area...

Hewayê pir rûyê înê tê vê derê, bi xwe niqtek sîyahî ye, yanî ji Kurdaxê me vê derê ra... The weather, many come here on Fridays, it is itself a tourist point, meaning from our Kurd-Dagh to here...
Rûyê înê, îro dinê sar e, xelk pirtin e. On Friday, today the weather is cold, people are numerous.
Hema ku dinê ne sar ba, cîyê mekîna li vê derê bi sora hatina, yanî. But if the weather wasn't cold, the place for cars here would be by turn [crowded], meaning.
Mantiqa me Efrîn, Kurdaxê me, li vê derê nahêc nirîn, seyrangeh e. Our Afrin region, our Kurd-Dagh, in this place... it is a resort.
