Temaşevanên hêja, demên we xweş bin. Dear viewers, may your times be pleasant.
Bernameya "Ax û Welat", îro dîsa em bar kirine li Çiyayê Kurmênc. The program "Soil and Country" ("Ax û Welat"), today again we have traveled to the Kurmênc Mountain (Jabal al- Akrad/Afrin region).
Em hatin gundê Memala. We came to the village of Memala.
Îro em kîngê hin ro, gelo em bivînin çi heye? Merheba ji wa ra. Today [let's see] what is happening, I wonder what is there to see? Hello to you.
Merheba, xêr hatî. Hello, welcome.
Saxiya we xweş? Is your health good?
Saxiya we ji xweş be. May your health be good too.
We çi hazır kiriye? Çi dikin? What have you prepared? What are you doing?
Welle îşta manê baranê... em kûm bûne... em kêlgon, gund diftilin, manê baran lêke înşalla, bi xêr û selamet. Well, because of the rain... we have gathered... we will go around the village, so that it may rain, God willing, with goodness and safety.
Xwedê miradê me da bîne rê. May God grant our wish.
Heso baran lê nekiriye? Has it not rained yet?
Baran lê nekiriye na. No, it hasn't rained.
Wê gavê duaya we çiye? So, what is your prayer?
Em ba Xwedê dikin: "Ellah ya Rebî tu baranê lê ke." We pray to God: "Oh God, oh Lord, make it rain."
Îşta... "Erd û ezman gî qelişî... qûl û heywan gî fetisî." Look... "Earth and sky have all cracked... creatures and animals have all suffocated."
Ellah ya Rebî tu miradê me da bîne rê, tu baranê lê ke... baran lê ke. Oh God, oh Lord, grant our wish, make it rain... make it rain.
Em bar Xwedê digerin. We are seeking [mercy] from God.
Û hewna jî, îşta sehanek bulxur didin me. And they [the households] look, they give us a plate of bulgur.
Paşê jî, yek s... manê baran lêke, zarekekî av çêdikin ser me. Afterwards, one... meaning so that rain falls, they pour water on us (on a child).
Em dibên "Xoş xoş me kin, zarkê koplê li me kin." We say "Make us happy/wet, put the 'Kople' child on us/with us."
Avê li me dikin. They throw water on us.
Û em va dibin, derin mal likdin, bi gund mal bi mal em digerin, diftilin. And we go like this, we go to the houses, we go around the village house by house, walking around.
Û rûyê dê jî em derin... ber ziyaretê. And facing the village, we go... to the shrine.
Em derin ber ziyaretê, li wî derî, nanê xwe, şîvê xwe, tî tînin. We go to the shrine, there, our bread, our dinner, they bring it.
Û milet, îşta... dixwe. And the people, look... they eat.
Û təkrar, xûce jî, behsa xûce jî Quranê dixwîne û em dua dikin. And again, the hodja (religious teacher), the hodja reads the Quran and we pray.
Û em va dibin tên, yanî pir bê rê bo baran lê deke. And we come back like this, meaning it is very likely/hopeful that it will rain.
Xweş e, welle pir tiştekî xweş e. That is good, honestly that is a very nice thing.
Yanî tiştekî balkêş e yanî. Meaning, it is an interesting thing.
Navê gundê we Memala? Çiqasî ev mal e? Is your village's name Memala? How many houses (households) is it?
Welle gundê me du parçe ne. Well, our village is in two parts.
Yek Memolê Xerbî, yek jî Memolê Şerqî ye. One is West Memala, and one is East Memala.
Iha ye... yanî heftê mal heye bi gişkî ve. There are... meaning there are seventy houses in total.
Wîngî mirovê hew ne? Meriyê hew ne? Are you all relatives? Are the people related?
Em meriyê hew ne... erê... em meriyê hew ne bi gişkî tên, em cîranê hew ne. We are relatives... yes... we are relatives, coming together completely, we are neighbors.
Em hevbûbê hew din ne. We are loved ones to each other.
Îşta em hevdira hûr dikin. Saxte milet xweş be, gişk gil hevdu dikin em derin. Look, we gather together. May the people's health be good, everyone gathers together and we go.
Rind e, tiştekî pir xweş e. It's good, it's a very nice thing.
Elhemdillah. Praise be to God.
Derim li hevdû, îşta... didinirin. Xwedê we Teala jî, miradê me didinirê, baran lê dike. We go to each other, look... we pray/ask. And God the Almighty grants our wish, He makes it rain.
Tamam. Naha min dît va nîskî racû ne ne? Okay. Now I saw these [people/children] are close, right?
Naha kî bang dike dia? Now who calls out the prayer?
Dia... kî rasti hat, behsa heye xûce bang dike, behsa heye ê de gund... ê de gund bang dikin. The prayer... whoever happens to be there, sometimes the hodja calls it out, sometimes the village... the people of the village call it out.
Em bi xwe bang dikin. We call it out ourselves.
Wîn derin qopyê dixin, avê çêdikin, û wîn derin malik din. You go, knock on doors, they pour water, and you go to another house.
Em derin malik din, dîsa eyn wi dawi dixwînin. We kî berê me çûn, ku gund çû da xwendi, em bang dikin, dîsa mal bi mal eyn em wana bang dikin. We go to another house, again we recite that same prayer. Just like we went before, when the village went and recited, we call out, again house by house we call out the same thing to them.
Tamam. Temaşevanên hêja de ka em babra temaşe kin. Okay. Dear viewers, let's watch together.
Ew çawa, ev dia dibê, çawa em bibînin baran çawa tê lêkê. How it is, how this prayer is said, let's see how the rain will fall.
Naşba kî bang ke? Friend, who will call out [the chant]?
Ez kê bang kim. I will call it out.
Tu kê bang ke? You will call it out?
Berê em digerîn, amîndî... li gunda em digerîn me bilxur kûm dikir... îşmê baran lêke. In the past we used to go around, [specifically]... we went around the villages, we gathered bulgur... so that rain would fall.
Û me dixwand... And we recited...
"Xêrê raşirîn, hel lefîna... febşirû ya muslimîna... bin nebî Taha el mumecce... we xeden yeşfeû fîna." [Reciting traditional religious chant, likely mixed with Arabic] "Goodness... bring us relief... rejoice oh Muslims... by the Prophet Taha [Muhammad] the glorified... and tomorrow he will intercede for us."
"Ebû Zemzem hel lefîna... Ebû Zemzem hel lefîna." "Father of Zamzam [water] is among us... Father of Zamzam is among us."
Saeta we giya xweş. Good health to you all.
Teş xweş. Very good.
Yanî berê we wulo dikir? Meaning, you used to do it like that in the past?
Berê me wilo dikir. In the past we did it like that.
Naha demê şîn yekş bang dike û gî ti pêgida dibên ne? Now, when we go, one person calls out and everyone repeats after him, right?
Erê, çaqê berqefem dikşînin, û me hana bang dikir paşê em bi rê diketin, em diçûn zarkê koplê di me dikirin. Yes, when we play the cymbals/clap (or gather), and we called out like that, then we would set off, we went and put the "Kople" child [dressed up figure] among us.
Belê, di wextê demê şîn wa nabe ne? Yes, but at this time/now it isn't like that, is it?
Na. No.
Tiştek... giştim berqê otoyî... em ê bixwînin. Something... [unclear]... we will recite.

Me soza dabû heca... em gîhiştin dawiya bernameya Ax û Welat. We had given a promise to the pilgrims... we have reached the end of the program "Ax û Welat" (Soil and Homeland).
Hêviya me heye bernameyek din da, hêviya me û dila (?) kêfxweşî, li benda me bin. We hope that in another program, our hope and hearts (?) are happy, wait for us.
Em li benda baranê ne bi izna Xwedê. We are waiting for rain, with God's permission.

Ax welat, ax welat... Oh homeland, oh homeland...
Lo welato... Oh homeland...
