Temam. Navê gundê me bi xwe, Sarrincêk, ji destpêkê da gava milet hatibû ji Xeraba, hatî ketibû vê derê, însanê koçer bûn. Xwedan pez bûn, xwedan dewar bûn. Hatin ketin vê derê, çar-pênc aîle hebûn. Okay. The name of our village itself, Sarrincêk; from the beginning when the people came from Xeraba [The Ruins], came and settled here, they were nomadic people. They owned sheep, owned cattle. They came and settled here, there were four or five families.
Demê ku hatin ketin vê derê, ê li vê derê zehmetî dikişandin ji bo avê. Çi kirin? Wana rabûn çi kir, her yekî sarrincek li ber derê xwe kolan. When they came and settled here, they suffered difficulties here regarding water. What did they do? They stood up and what did they do, everyone dug a cistern in front of their door.

They dug a cistern in front of their door, said... for their sheep that is. Meaning sheep, meaning cattle. Because of that they named it the village of Sarrincêk. The village of the cisterns, that is. Cisterns were plentiful in it.
Yanî destpêkê gundê we sarrinc kolan? So initially your village dug cisterns?
Gundê me sarrinc kolan. Ne mezinê me, pêşiyê me. Berî vê bi çarsed sal yanî. Our village dug cisterns. Not our elders [current], our ancestors. Four hundred years before this, that is.
Sarrinc kolan, ji ber ku heyata gundiyan koçer bûn lê niha. They dug cisterns, because the life of the villagers was nomadic back then.
Yanî wê demê de kanî li der û vê derê tunebûn? Av tunebû? So at that time there were no springs around here? Was there no water?
Tabî kanî tunebûn ya. Kanî li vê derê tunebûn. Of course there were no springs. There were no springs here.

Em ji Lîkûwan e. We are from the Likû [tribe/family].
Di her gundekî da berê 'ûde' hebûn, di gundekî da rispiyê wan hebûn. Ê berê gundê we rispiyê we kî bûn, ûdamê wan hebû, tunebû? In every village there used to be 'guest rooms' (oda), in a village they had their elders. So before in your village, who were your elders, did they have guest rooms, or not?
Tabî hebûn. Ûde mîvanê ûda mala Lîkû hebû. Of course they had. The guest room, the guests of the room of the house of Likû existed.
Rispîyê vî gundî bûn, malbatê vî gundî mezin bûn. Ûdê gundiyan hebûn. They were the elders of this village, the family of this village were great. The villagers had guest rooms.
Li vê derê diçûn li ûdê rûdiniştin. Gotinek xwe, çi gotin hebûsa diçûn wê ûdê. Here they would go and sit in the room. Their saying, whatever saying/issue there was, they went to that room.
Apê Mehemed di her gundekî da berê, kesên hebûn dihatin naskirin. Di nav civakê da. Hinek qehreman bûn, hinek dengbêj bûn, hinek çîrokvan bûn, hinek, tîştê, pisporê gund, çareser dikirin.

Some were heroes, some were bards, some were storytellers, some, thing, village experts, they solved problems. Meaning there were always some in a village who came to be known.
Wek gundê Sarrincêkê kî hebûn? Like the village of Sarrincêk, who was there?

Qurt Ale emerged, Ali Qurt Ale we called him here, used to say Ali Qurt Ale. Of course we didn't reach [meet] the villagers [of that time].
Wana, destê gundiyan de quwetek hebû, quwetekî pir mezin cem gundiyan hebû. Wana li hember Fransa sekinîn. Those, in the hands of the villagers there was a force, a very great force with the villagers. They stood against France.

Ehmedê Rîtû bû? Was it Ahmed Ritu?
Ehmedê Rîtû bû. Destpêka me, destpêka Kurda, tarîxa Kurda, tim û tim qehreman di me da hene yanî. Ne neha tenê ye. It was Ahmed Ritu. Our beginning, the beginning of Kurds, history of Kurds, always and always there are heroes among us. It is not only now.
Ê ew piştî çi kirin? Yanî li hember Fransa şer kirin? So after what did they do? Meaning they fought against France?

Li gund xist? Struck the village?
Li gund xistin, gundiyan kuştin. Gundiyan kuştin. They struck the village, killed villagers. Killed villagers.
Weka kesê me yî qehreman kuştin. Û ji wê de dikişê tê heta neha qehremanî ti, yanî di mentiqa me da û di gundê me da, ji berê û paşê de yanî heye ev qehremanîna. Like our hero person, they killed. And from that it extends until now, heroism, that is in our region and in our village, from before and after, that is, this heroism exists.

The village of Sarrincêk attached to the Shara district of the Afrin canton, falls thirty kilometers north of the town of Shara, and four kilometers far from the border of Kilis, on the northern side.
Navê gund ji peyva sarrinc hatiye. Ji ber pirbûna sarrincên avê li gund, wekî embarxaneyên avê tên bikar anîn, û ji ber kêmbûna jêderên avê li gund û derdora wê, nêzî şêst sarrinc li gund hene. Û piraniya van sarrincan bi destê xelkê gund hatine kolandin. The name of the village comes from the word 'sarrinc' (cistern). Because of the abundance of water cisterns in the village, used as water reservoirs, and because of the scarcity of water sources in the village and its surroundings, there are close to sixty cisterns in the village. And the majority of these cisterns were dug by the hands of the village people.
Gundê Sarrincêkê li ser çiyayê Kurmênc e, ku çar kîlometre dûrî Çemê Efrînê ye, li aliyê başûr hatiye avakirin. The village of Sarrincêk is on the Kurmênc Mountain, which is four kilometers far from the Afrin River, built on the southern side.

Belê, îro jî em li gundê Serincakê ne. Yes, today we are in the village of Serincak.
Dengê dahol û zurnê pir xweş tê. The sound of the drum and flute comes very pleasantly.
Em spasiya miletê gund dikin. We thank the people of the village.
Gelek urf û adetê me mane, haya roja îro jî bi me ra gav bi gav dimeşin. Many of our customs and traditions remain, even until today they walk with us step by step.
Ê îro jî gundê Serincakê xwestin vê urf û adetê xwe şîrove bikin, emê hinekî bavero nas bikin. And today, the village of Serincak wanted to interpret [showcase] their customs and traditions, we will get to know them a little.
Merheba ji we ra. Hello to you.
Ahlen, ser min, xêr û selameta te ne. Welcome, upon me [my eyes], wishing you goodness and health.
Sax be. Em destpêkê te nas bikin? Be healthy. Shall we get to know you first?
Navê min Cemalê Elî yê mirid bin, heval. My name is Jemal Ali, [son of] the Murids, friend.
Ser çava mamoste Cemal. You are welcome [upon my eyes], teacher Jemal.
Dayê, em te jî nas bikin? Merheba ji te ra jî. Be healthy.
Dayê, em te jî nas bikin? Merheba ji te ra jî. Mother, let us know you too? Hello to you as well.
Merdiben, Xedîce. Hello, Khadija.
Ser çava dayê. You are welcome, mother.
Ape Cemal, bawerim cem te... Uncle Jemal, I believe with you...
Kerem ke, fermo. Go ahead, please.
Di çiyayê Kurmênc de, di herêma Efrînê de, gelek urf û adetê me hene haya roja îro mane. In the Kurmanc Mountain [Kurd-Dagh], in the Afrin region, we have many customs and traditions that have remained until today.
Temam. Okay.
Wê çi xas, îro hûnê çi tiştî şîrove bikin? What special thing, what thing will you interpret [demonstrate] today?
Ez dixwazim tu biponijî. I want you to reflect [speak on this].
Adet û urfê me yê kevn û berê da... Our customs and traditions of old and in the past...
Ji kevn da hinek çûne, hinek jî mane. From the old times, some are gone, and some have remained.
Em heta nokan jî hinek hene wa dikin, em kî disê wa bikin, berê... Even until now, there are some we do, we want to do them like that again, before...
Dawet bû, dîlan bû, nokan giyê mokîne derketine, tişt nemaye, dewr nemaye. There were weddings, dances, now all the machines have come out, nothing is left, the era is gone.
Niha nokan, em kî bîka bihevdû biguherînin, adetê berê ji kevn da mane. Now, at this moment, if we exchange a bride with each other, the old customs have remained from the past.
Du roj, sê roj li defê dixistin. For two days, three days, they played the drum.
Şan û şurat çêdikirin. They performed shows and processions.
Li ser bêdera cîkî fereh, xwarin çêdikirin. On the threshing floor, a wide place, they made food.
Em ji wê re digot keşkê. We called it 'keşk'.
Keşke? Keşk?
E, dawata me digot keşkê çêdikirin. Keşk.
E, dawata me digot keşkê çêdikirin. Yes, at our weddings they said they made 'keşk'.
Me wi malbatê, helek dibîn, wê ewê da miletî giyê arîkarî dikirin. We, the family, would see a crowd, in that [situation] the whole nation [people] helped.
Du roj, sê roj mîvan... miletê gund derdîwanê giyê dikişandin. Two days, three days of guests... the village people bore the burden of it all.
Her henekî derdî henekî dikişand. Everyone bore the burden of the other.
Ji gundekî ta çar gunda xelq giyê dihatin û xizmetî wan giya dikirin gundî... From one village to four villages away, people all came and the villagers served them all...
Bilaxas jî gundê me, zêde yanê hurmet dikirin û hurmetî mîvana, merî xerîb... Especially our village, they showed great respect, and respect to guests, to strangers...
Heta nokan jî ew adet û teqalîd li cem me mane. Even until now, those customs and traditions have remained with us.
Neha te bi hisab bûkê kir... Uncle Jemal...
Neha te bi hisab bûkê kir... Now you mentioned the account of the bride...
Belê, çawa bûk bi hev diguheriyan yanê? Yes, how did they exchange brides with each other?
Terefê bûkê û yê zava bûn, hinek, yê zêfe, bûkê, diçûn cem bûkê. There was the bride's side and the groom's side, some, the majority, the bride's [people], went to the bride.
Du mer, wekî min, wekî vî merî, em hatin raçîkê vî malê bikin. Two men, like me, like this man, we came to settle this house/family.
Em kî bûkê qîziyê (bixwazin), malê bigirin, me ji hevdu hez neikira sa me merliqê bi hevdu ra nedikir heval. If we asked for the bride [girl], took the house/family, if we didn't love each other, we wouldn't have done this kinship/marriage together, friend.
Emê bibên, pismam, meselen birayê min. We would 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 giyê kurd in û em ji miletê hevdu ne. We love each other, we are all Kurds and we are of each other's people.
Gerek em ke, çî, xab, bi hevdu din. We must give our daughters/girls to each other.
Me'nî kî bedarî kurda ji hinda nebe, bedar di cî da bimîne. Meaning, so the wealth of the Kurds is not lost to others, so the wealth stays in the place.
Û heta nokan jî elhemdillah wanekî mayî. And until now, praise God, it has remained like that.
Bedar xerîb neketî nav me, bedarî me giyê di cî da maye. Stranger's wealth hasn't entered among us, all our wealth has remained in the place.
Û qîçkê (qîzikê) me jî elhemdillah adet û urfê me yê berê... And our girls too, praise God, our customs and traditions of before...
Û miletê berê çûnokî bûn, êd me heta nokan hîn ser we'dê xwin in, ser soza xwin in, giyê ji hevdu jî hez dikin. And the people of before, however they were, ours until now are still on their promise, on their word, they all love each other too.
Ji berî vî çend sal da ji hevdu hez dikirin, ta heta nokan jî gundî me wanekî ye, serkeftinê ji gundî me ra. Since many years ago they loved each other, until right now our villagers are like that, success to our villagers.
Înşallah hevalê min. God willing, my friend.
Bijî jibo te. Long live [thanks] to you.
Dayê, emba cem te jî. Tu çi daxwaz dikî? Li ser çi, berê, urf û adetê me yê berê... Mother, let's come to you too. What do you wish? About what, before, our customs and traditions of before...
Tu çi daxwazî bêjî? What do you wish to say?
Ez li ser urf û adetê berê, ez daxwazim yanê... About the customs and traditions of before, I wish that is...
Me, me bxwe, me ixtiyar kir, me got em vê gaurînê bigawirin. We, we ourselves, we chose, we said let us change this change [re-enact this tradition].
Yanî vê cîrî di tengî d' me ra, giyê zanin ku gaurîn heye, urf û adetê me yê berê hene. Meaning, in this generation, in the hardship for us, everyone knows that there is a change [tradition], we have our customs and traditions of before.
Belkî misteqbel ji cîrî nû di giyanê ra. Maybe in the future for the new generation, in their souls.
Ciwan hîn nebin ne? So the youth don't forget, right?
Erê, ji vê zor û kunarê, hew ji bi urf û adet û teqalîdê xwe, kurda ba elimin. Yes, from this oppression and difficulty, simply to learn their own customs, traditions and habits, the Kurds.
Yanî hew tişta heye. Meaning, there is just this thing.
Çaxê kî me vê ixtira'ê dîna, me got em jina bigawirin. When we brought out this invention [idea], we said let us change/dress the woman.
Jin çaxê kî tikeyê jina bigawire, teb'an her teref darrin cem hevdu. The woman, when she dresses/changes the piece [role] of women, naturally all sides go to each other.
Rica ji hev dikin. Her teref razî dibin. They request from each other. Every side becomes satisfied.
Jina xwe bigawirê, malbat mezin dibin, hezkirin çêdibe. [If] she changes/dresses herself as a woman, the families become great, love is created.
Yanî tim û tim gerek hezkirinê kurda mezin bibe. Meaning, always and always, the love of the Kurds must become great.
Û înşallah yê mezin bibe. And God willing, it will become great.
Nah berê bûk siwar dikirin? Now, before, did they put the bride on a horse?
Zarok didan pêş, didan çê dikirin pêş bûkê? Yes.
Zarok didan pêş, didan çê dikirin pêş bûkê? Did they put a child in front, did they make [him sit] in front of the bride?
Bûk siwar dikirin li hespê, zarok çêdikirin pêş gendê (zînê), balgîk jî didan pêşiyê. They mounted the bride on the horse, put a child in front of the saddle, and put a pillow in front too.
Digot me'nî lawkê xwe bibe. They said, meaning so she would have a son.
Wê zarokê didan pêş, digot me'nî lawkê xwe bibe. They put that child in front, saying meaning so she would have a son.
Wê rojê em li navçeya Şêran bûn, wan jî eynî bi vî rengî bûk li hespê siwar kirin... That day we were in the district of Sheran, they also mounted the bride on the horse in the exact same way...
Zava şekir çêkir ser bûkê. The groom threw sugar over the bride.
Erast e. That is true.
Berê digotin mûş didan bûkê? Dema di rê da diçû ba, li hespê dikir, mûş didanê? Ji bo çi ew mûş bûn? Before, they said they gave 'mûş' [mystery object/treat] to the bride? When she was going on the road, on the horse, they gave her 'mûş'? What were those 'mûş' for?
Ê bixwedê ew mûja ez wana nizanim. Eh, by God, those 'mûş', I don't know them.
Bes, yanî zarok digotin mla zarokê d' wan bibin law bin. But, I mean, the child, they said so that their children would be boys.
Vira jî ev gaurîna me gerek bi hespa ba, bes hesp tunene. Here too, this change/enactment of ours should have been with horses, but there are no horses.
Emê bimeşin. We will walk.
Wînîn... You see...
Çaxê kî yekê bigawirin sa... When we change/dress one like that...
Ha malbat... Look, the family...
Malbata dê û bav, keçka xwe tînin nuqte. The family, mother and father, raise their daughter to that point.
Malbata din, keçka xwe tînin nuqte. The other family raises their daughter to that point.
Bi hevdu diguherin. They exchange with each other.
Çaxê bi hevdu guherin, her kes bûka xwe dibe mal, zotik para, def, dîlan. When they exchange, everyone takes their bride home, with loud noise, drums, and dances.
Berê digotin keşkê dikirin, def û zurna. In the past, they would say they made "keşkê" (wheat/meat dish), with drums and zurna.
Keşke çi ye? What is "keşkê"?
Xwarin yanî. It means food.
Ha, xwarin. Ah, food.
Erê xwarin. Yes, food.
Keşke çêdikirin, digotin berê xwand e. They prepared keşkê, and they used to call it "xwandin" (the reading/engagement).
Cil û mîra radixistin, doşek û hiriya têdikirin, balgî têdikirin. They laid out rugs and carpets, stuffed mattresses with wool, and stuffed pillows.
Hemû miletê îstiqbal dikirin. They welcomed all the people.
Bi def û zurna bûkê dibirin, bi rêkî xwande lêxistin. They took the bride with drums and zurna, performing the "xwandin" (ceremony) along the way.
Nokana nabên xwande. Nowadays they don't say "xwande".
Digotin xwande. They used to say "xwande".
Yanî ew tiştê berê xweş bû? So, those things from the past were good?
Tebhet xweş bû, ji ber we jî... Of course it was good, and because of that...
...vê bernameya Ax û Welat, pir tiştê va digerîne. ...this program, "Ax û Welat" (Soil and Country), brings back many of these things.
Yanî tiştê dîrokê va digerîne. Meaning, it brings back historical things.
Berê me nezanî. Before, we didn't know.
Nokana em dîsa zanin, bes fêcîrê digine nezanin. Now we know again, but the new generation doesn't know.
Çaxê gûhana çêbû... When the exchange happened...
...hev cîran jî zanibe, cîranê din jî, warê jî zanibe, xêr e, dibe tarîx di gund da. ...so that this neighbor knows, the other neighbor knows, and the area knows; it is good, it becomes history in the village.
Ax û Welat, bernameya Ax û Welat... Ax û Welat, the program Ax û Welat...
...yanî dîrokê va digerîne. ...meaning, it brings back history.
Û her kes bûka xwe dibe mal, eşta def û zurna û dawet û şahî û xwarin û... And everyone takes their bride home, still with drums, zurna, wedding celebrations, parties, food, and...
Spas dikim dayê. Thank you, mother.
Ez jî spas dikim. I thank you too.

Naha li vir, ê li vê bigeherin. Now here, they will exchange [the brides].
Berê bi vê awayî bû, bi vê rengî bû. In the past, it was in this manner, in this style.
Bi vê rengî bû? It was in this style?

A toqilê me... du bûka bi hevdu biguherin. Our custom... two brides exchanging with each other.

Û bûk û zava jî tebhet wan jî hevdu dît. And the bride and groom also, naturally, saw each other.
Hevdu dîtin, ji hevdu hez kirin. They saw each other, they loved each other.
Me got emkê... ew gi çêkin. We said let's... let's make this happen.
Yanî gemberînêkî çêkin. Meaning, let's create a union.
Bila hîn hezkirinêt mabeyna gunda çêbibe. Let even more love be created between the villages.
Em milet bi hevdu şa bibin, îşta miletê noka pê kêfxweş bûn. Let us people be happy with each other, see how the people now are happy with it.
Xwedê temam bike înşallah. May God complete it, God willing.

Belê, li vir jî emê xatirê xwe ji we bixwazin. Yes, here we will also bid you farewell.
Li vir jî em gihiştin dawiya bernama xwe. Here we have reached the end of our program.
Îro jî em li gundê Serincokê bûn. Today we were in the village of Serincok.
Em jî bi hêvî ne we wextek xweş bi me re derbas kiribe. We hope you spent a pleasant time with us.
Haya hefteyek dî, bimînin di nav xêr û xweşiyê de. Until another week, stay in goodness and happiness.
Bi xatirê we. Goodbye.
