Aaa, ewilî ez kanibim bibêjim, Bahdînan, vêra dibêjin 'Baadîna'. Ummm, firstly if I may say, Bahdinan, here they call it 'Baadina'.
Kewn, herfa 'eyn' di zimanê Kurmancî da tuneye. Originally, the letter 'ayn' does not exist in the Kurmanji language.
Bahdînan, lehca Kurmancî ye. Bahdinan is a Kurmanji dialect.
Bahdînan ji eşîren Şêxanîne. The Bahdinans are from the Sheikh tribes.
Ji Başûrê Kurdistanê hatin. They came from South Kurdistan.
Başûrê Kurdistanê, mentîqa, ka vêra dibêjin Bahdînan. South Kurdistan, the region, which they refer to here as Bahdinan.
Bahdînan, îmarek bû ji îmaratên Kurdî di guna Împeratoriya Osmaniye da yanî. Bahdinan was an emirate among the Kurdish emirates during the time of the Ottoman Empire.
Ev gunda, jê neh malbet in. This village consists of nine families.
Hinek zû da hatin, hinek jî paşê bi wan ra hatin. Some came early, and some came later with them.
Lê ev malbetana giştik... But all these families...
Yanî ev kesên dîn hatin e, ji Başûrê Kurdistanê hatin lê ji derveyî Efrînê ji vir hatin? Meaning, did these other people come from South Kurdistan or did they come from outside Afrin to here?
Na... Jê çar pênc malbet ji Başûr hatin. No... Four or five families of them came from the South [South Kurdistan].
Û jê sê çarek jî ji hemû gundên Efrînê, derdora Efrînê hatin. And three or four of them came from all the villages of Afrin, around Afrin.
Ee, kanim hinek ji wan bibêjim... Uh, I can mention some of them...

Ne ku du sed kes fam neke, an ê vê malbetê ê sî, berî yekî hatî, yekî du sî hatî. Ne wane ye. It's not that two hundred people shouldn't misunderstand, or that this family came thirty... came before one, one came twenty-thirty [years later]. It's not like that.
Bes îlem kî bin, yek, du, du, sê ye yanî. But whoever they strictly are, it's one, two, two, three [decades difference] essentially.

Tebî'etê wî, gotina wî, va hesîbû, keda biçûk xizmeta wî dikirin, kincî wan jar dişûştin, leka xew kira. His nature, his speech, he was sensitive like that, the labor of the young served him, they washed his poor clothes, wherever he slept.
Mala giya... Mala me Bahdîna giştkî wî bû. Heta derveyî Bahdîna. The house of... The entire House of Bahdina was his. Even outside of Bahdina.
Belî bû, kîjan makîne rastiye bahata, li kû ba, li kû biçûya, çi bixwara, çi ra kira, kesî nikanî vêra bigota te çi dikî. It was clear, whatever car came by, wherever he was, wherever he went, whatever he ate, whatever he did, no one could tell him 'what are you doing'.

Gava trên derbas dibû, destê xwe radikir, diskinand. Diskinî, nediçû. When the train was passing, he raised his hand, stopping it. It stopped, it didn't go.
Ez bi xwe jî nizanim. I myself don't know either.

Go ez bawer nakim bi Şêx Reşîd. He said "I don't believe in Sheikh Rashid."
Kurrê wî mir. His son died.
Go çima lawê min mir? Ji ber ku wî bawerî neanî. He said "Why did my son die?" Because he didn't bring belief.
Min bihîst qesîda jî digot. Tuvê karibî qesîdek ji me ra bêjî? I heard he used to recite poems too. Can you recite a poem for us?
E, erê, erê. Yes, yes, yes.
Tazî me, di tirbê da, qopê ya vaye, mal û milkê te ye, beyî xû me be. My mourning, in the grave, the dome is there, your property and wealth, without [unintelligible] be.

Go Kûr bin çavê wan kûr, mela dîsa kûr. He said: Deep are their eyes, deep, mullah, again deep.
Nizanin tê ser me îşekî pir zor. They don't know a very hard task is coming upon us.
Xwedê nizanin, Pêxember nizanin. Paşê hinek kom bibin, bibin makan. They don't know God, they don't know the Prophet. Then some will gather, become authorities.
Tim da bêjin me nedî, nizanin çiye. Always saying "we didn't see", they don't know what it is.
Go yanê derê me xeter e Mernê. Now it has come...
Go yanê derê me xeter e Mernê. He said, our place Mernê is dangerous.
Rû li şêwa ye Mern şewreş e. Facing the darkness, Mern is pitch black.
Mern Heleb e? Is Mern Aleppo?
Yanî ji gundê xwe der... ji gundê xwe derneket Mernê? Meaning from his village... did he not leave his village Mernê?
Lê, lê. Noka sed sal zemanî me, ew jî sed salî zêdetir e. Berê başqe ye, me nizanî, bêt bû. Dida bêtê tan. No, no. Now it is a hundred years of our time, and that is more than a hundred years. The past was different, we didn't know, it was verse/poetry. He used to recite verses.
Rû li hlatî Mern şewreş e. Face to the east, Mern is pitch black.
Yanî qesta wî çi bû? Ser çi digot? So what was his intention? What was he speaking about?
Qesta wî digoyane... yanê derê me xeter e, Mern e. His intention was saying... that means our place is dangerous, it is Mern.
Digo rû li hlatî... Mern şewreş e. Yanî xoy... He said face to the east... Mern is pitch black. Meaning...
Yanî ji der ji gundê xwe derneketin? Meaning they didn't leave their village?
Yanî Heleb li hevketiye, Mern Heleb. Meaning Aleppo has collapsed, Mern Aleppo.
Erê, yanê... Yes, meaning...
Ee, ew bêtê jiber derdixist digot çûye Helebê, diçûye wira... yanê ser wan digot Mern yanê. Yes, he used to make up those verses saying he went to Aleppo, going there... meaning he called them Mern.
No, bêtê, li ser vî zemanî me ye. Noka sehke her tişt heye. No, the verses are about this time of ours. Look now, everything exists.
Heleb her tişt heye, em zanin hemkî bibin hemder xolê digrin. Aleppo has everything, we know that if we unite, we can take the soil.
Û qirşî li medikevin loşî me li erdê dimîne. And straw falls on us, our corpse remains on the ground.
Em ketine vî zemanî, vî çaxî... cahil bêt e me nizanî. Em noka ketine vî zemanî. We have fallen into this time, this era... we were ignorant, it was poetry, we didn't know. Now we have fallen into this time.
Binêre ka... rû li hlatî, Mern şewreş e. Look now... face to the east, Mern is pitch black.
Ka vê çîrokê... wey ew çîroka digot rojekê were lemiştek vir derbas be. What about this story... oh, the story that said one day a flood would pass through here.
Heee, sê sed birûskê lê ketin, bira. Yes, three hundred lightning strikes hit it, brother.
Sê sed birûsk. Lîp, lîp, lîp wekî... û baranê lêkir û galgal hat... û gundî qayîb bûn. Three hundred lightning strikes. Zap, zap, zap like... and the rain poured and the thunder came... and the villagers disappeared.
Çû bûn, hewa bi xwe çûn cema qayîb bûn çûn. They were gone, they went by themselves to the gathering and left.
Yanî berî wê bi çend rojan digot? Bi çend deqan? Meaning how many days before did he say this? How many minutes?
Deqekê, deh deqe. Deh deqe tenê bûn. A minute, ten minutes. It was only ten minutes.
Deh deqe? Ten minutes?
Deh deqe, lemiştek vir derbas be. Ten minutes, and a flood passed through here.
Û baranê kire kê, av kîda? And the rain started, where did the water come from?
Û baranê kire kê, sê sed birûskê werî, birûsk. Temam, hono birûsk bûn lîp, û dibû şewq... And the rain started, three hundred lightning strikes came, lightning. Okay, there were lightning strikes, zap, and it became bright...
Av kelokîkî bi zêd bû nizam çi... The water boiled up excessively, I don't know what...
Av, av kel... noka bû av. Water, water boiled... now it became water.
Erê piştyî têdî, ew gelî dibêjin... gelî herrekey çûye li Mekbezê, wewbîk zêta gi çûye. Yes, after that, they call that valley... the valley flow went to Mekbez, and a lot of oil went there.
Mekbez li jêr e, va dan ber xwe. Mekbez is down below, it swept it away.
Ka noka av were em ê bigerînin erdn? If the water comes now, will we wander the lands?
Ê zêd jî çûye, merî jî çûye, heşwa jî çûye. The oil is gone, the people are gone, the stuff is gone.
Hawa bes... gundê we go... go... Like that, enough... your village said... said...
Mam li vir jî pirsken. Ew çîrok, te jî bera gotin ew çîroka wiyan e... Ka ji me re çîrokê... çi bêje, çîroka wî gelek ne? Uncle, let's ask here too. That story, you also mentioned that story of theirs before... Tell us the story... what to say, isn't his story long?
Yanî em çi qasî bêjin dawî nayê. Meaning no matter how much we say, it doesn't end.
Ee, yanî ez biçûk bûm, wextê lemişte hat. Yes, I was small when the flood came.
Jineka gundê çûye qîzikek xwa hebû, mal li gar... qîzik... lo pî me be, me hedî dikir... A woman of the village had gone, she had a daughter, the house was on the slope... the girl... oh my foot, we were calming her...
Paşê çer çû, malê me qîzik anî cem xwe, hemû wina bûn, me dan bîr. Me da mêr. Later, however it went, our family brought the girl to us, they were all like that, we put her in the well. We gave her to a husband.
Ê xewê wî çaxî, wextê nîvê şevê de... diçû go heta şkeftê, me dikir... malê bavê kim wextê... And sleep at that time, in the middle of the night... it went up to the cave, we were doing... my father's house when...
Qereqonê xwa heye. Bi zûre, me zûrtî nader. Has its police station. By force, we didn't give force.
Bi zûra tim dixwandin, tim serê xwe kir binokê xwe, tim dixwend... ela, ela dixwend. Çi dixwend me nizanî. By force he was always reading, always put his head under his cloak, always reading... aloud, aloud he read. What he read, we didn't know.
Dê, dê, wina, paşê jî wina... bes zingê jinê xew kir. Quran xwond, xwond, xwond... Come on, come on, like that, and later like that... just the woman's ringing [voice] slept. He read the Quran, read, read...
Hata go lemişte hat. Me go qeyamet rabû. Until the flood came. We said the apocalypse has risen.
Erê, av hat. Qiyamet rabû. The water came.
Erê, av hat. Qiyamet rabû. Yes, the water came. The apocalypse rose.
Avê em birin. The water took us.
Şêx Reşîd. Sheikh Rashid.
Erê, qernî vîket şûnda, aqil wina bû. Yes, a century fell back, the mind became like that.
E wê çaxê kîjan salê de bû? Pir ji mêj e? And then...
E wê çaxê kîjan salê de bû? Pir ji mêj e? And at that time, which year was it? Was it a long time ago?
Çarê zêde, ewê çaxêkî me kîşê wekî vî qîzikê wina bû mala. More than four, at that time we were pulling like this girl, she was like that at home.
Yanî wekî vî qîzikê wina bûm. Me biçam dî jine xew dikir. Meaning I was like this girl. I saw with my eyes the woman was sleeping.
Û paşê ji wê ve da, hinda bû. Hinda bû... go çel rojî, nefsê mera wa go, go çel rojî bin av erdê da me çi xwarî? And after that from there, he disappeared. He disappeared... said forty days, the person's soul said, said forty days under the water in the ground, what did I eat?
Go me rûyê perçek xurme dixwar. Me go te we tim çi dikir? Go me tim zikir dikir. Said I ate a piece of the face of a date. We said what were you doing all the time? Said I was always chanting (dhikr).
Me rûyê perçek xurme dixwar. Ba wî ta cema adî şor dikirin yanê. I was eating a piece of a date. With him, the community was talking normally.
Wekî dijî, dema ê gundê... yanî merivan hew dî mirdidan destan, cem xew dikir. Cîbû, kêlekê mirîkê vekir o. Like the enemy, when the village... meaning people saw each other holding hands, sleeping together. It happened, he opened the side of the corpse.
Rok Elî, wina lehbetî... Huna hekî, pîrd wî şêbe xim... Xwedê dê, Xwedê dê li derva... One day Ali, playing like that... If you see, may the bridge collapse... God give, God give outside...
Hekî pîrd wî jî bêxim nêhişt. Even if I collapse the bridge, he didn't let it.
Gota xêr e, xêr e. Xwe da qiş kir. Go hata pîrd xwa kim bergan me re nanê. Wa go aşê gerim. Said it's good, it's good. He squeezed himself. Said until I make the bridge... [unclear] bread for us. He said the hot mill.
Ez nizanim tiştek heye, ez jê gerim wano. Mêrê min dixlixandin. Ee, vê çaxê ez jê gerim. I don't know if there is something, I looked for it like that. My husband was bustling. Yes, at that time I looked for it.

Dî pirs kir Xoca. Gotî lawo pî xwa ye. Helê, nê maşê wa bike. He asked the Hodja. He said, son, it's his own foot. Leave it, don't walk like that.
Nizanim çi dikir, me av didan berî xwa didikir... da biçime ser, mi stoh, mi stoh, mi stoh, av lê dikir min nedihişt. Yanî gemar bibe. I don't know what he was doing, we gave water, he put it before himself... so I could go up, I wiped, I wiped, I wiped, put water on it, I didn't let it. Meaning getting dirty.
Cok da, bilind bî me kû neşûşt. Bes kinc... bêxistanê min ê kinc yarê bistan o. Knee down, it was high, I didn't wash anywhere. Just clothes... my bedding clothes were the friend of the orchard.
Û dinê çi bû... û ê dinê. Paşê, em ê... ez çi dikim walo. Çi dikim, derve dikeve xiret mokînok diskinê. And what was the world... and the other. Then, we... what am I doing like that. What am I doing, outside falls effort, the machine stops.
Heta du şakê tînim, xiret tişkî didiskinê tê. Lo tişke tê? Until I bring two branches, the effort stops something in it. Hey, is something coming?
Ez bin vê tûniyê elmelekê têm. Kurtek li vir tina ye. Tema cî hewa çêkirî. I am coming under this mulberry tree [like] an angel. There is no jacket here. He prepared the place completely.
Heta wûro, gikek vêlabe taqbe. Lo coq çi bû me go vêla taq li kela kedaşta çêbibê, ro wûro. Until over there, a flower opens, an arch. Hey what happened to the knee, we said an arch opens at the side of the Kedaşta, the sun over there.

Temaşevanên hêja, ev gundê Behdîniya jî tê naskirin bi karê suncixê. Dear viewers, this village of Behdiniya is also known for the work of sucuk (walnut candy).
Suncix li vir tê naskirin... piraniya vî gundî destpêkê pir vê karê dikin. Têna dibêje pir nemane. Nana em bîme mîvanê Birê Mihemed. Merheba. Sucuk is known here... the majority of this village in the beginning did this work a lot. It is said not many remain. Now we have become the guest of Brother Mohammed. Hello.
Ehlen we sehlen. Welcome.
Ka Birê Mihemed ji me ra xwe yan bike. Hûn çend kes li vî gundî da kar dikin? Vî karî dikin? Brother Mohammed, introduce yourself to us. How many people in this village do this work? Do this job?
Welle, em sê heb in. Vê sê hebna jî em... sê kes in. Vê sê kesna jî no, ehda soda me terk dan diyanî, em sekinîne. Well, we are three. These three also we... are three people. Even these three people now, in this era/time we gave up, we stopped.
Ê em tirî tînin, tirî da'sirînin. Û gûza em tînin, û fistiq Helebî. Û ê baîva. And we bring grapes, we press the grapes. And we bring walnuts, and Aleppo pistachios. And almonds.
Em ava wê dikelînin. Em tê dikin vê tenecerê, em dikelînin. Pelûle wek vê çêdikin. We boil its juice. We put it in this pot, we boil it. We make pudding like this.
Diftilê em gûzê xwa darda dikin di benî de. Em hildikişînin. Em tê dikin, em derdixin. In turn, we hang our walnuts on string. We pull them up. We put them in, we take them out.
Ka ji me ra bêje, destpêkê hûn çi û çi dikin? Eva ji bergê hiştir e çêdibe? Tell us, in the beginning what exactly do you do? Is this made from the thicker leaf?
Hiştir e çêdibe. Û ji toza genim. It is made thicker. And from wheat starch.
Hea, ji toza genim e. Ah, it is from wheat starch.
Ji toza genim. Û hewa hindirê vê deziya. From wheat starch. And inside this is the thread.
Ev deziya em diçê gûze ra dikin. Ev a gi merhele ye. Merhela yekê da em pê ra herin. Eva dezit diçê gûze ra dibê. This thread we put through the walnut. This is a stage. In the first stage we go with it. This thread goes through the walnut.
Dexat gûze ra bî, darê ser ciye xwa wek vana lata diskinê. Te xelas kir, beniyê xwa tîtîne tê, pelûla xwa lê dixînî. Once it is through the walnut, it hangs on its place like these slats stand. You finished, you bring your string in, you hit/dip your pudding on it.
Haya wek vana qaling dibê. Until it becomes thick like these.
Wek vana qaling bî, ma daxist Helebê, ma difrotin. Once it was thick like these, we took it down to Aleppo, we sold it.
Ma difrotin. We sold it.
Lo kîlo bi çi dida we? So what did you give a kilo for?
Sed û pênc wereqî, cimla wê me dida. One hundred and fifty papers (lira), we gave its wholesale.
Û Nîhab çi ye? And what is the Nihab?
Nîhab nizanim, em ne şixlî, sala çûn da em ne şixlîna. Nîhab ne kêmî pênc sedî ye. Nihab I don't know, we didn't work, last year we didn't work. Nihab is not less than five hundred.
Ne kêmî pênc sedî ye. Not less than five hundred.
Temam, Nîhab na wext e? Okay, is Nihab not time?
Na, mehdûd in. Daxa tirê derkeve. No, they are limited. Until the grapes come out.
Dima hefte, eweliya heyştê, ê tiriyê derkeve em ê pê bişixlin. Remaining a week, the beginning of the eighth (month/August?), when the grapes come out we will work with it.
Çaxê hûn kar dikin, hûn çend kes kar dikin? When you work, how many people work?
Welle, teqrîben heşt-neh heban. Gî werşê, lê werşê, lê. Well, approximately eight or nine people. All in the workshop, yes in the workshop, yes.
Lanûk ne werşê ne mezin be, şixlê xwa mişkil e yanî pir e. Because if the workshop is not big, its work is difficult, meaning it is a lot.
Yek dezik dikê, yek gûza pêve dikê, yek gûza dişo, yek divir girê dide, hind da dixin sefra, hind dikşînin. Yek êr agir ar dikê, yanî... One threads, one attaches walnuts, one washes walnuts, one ties here, some put on the trays, some pull. One makes fire under it, meaning...
Dixwaze, şixlê wê dixwaze. It requires, its work requires.
Ev karê wa ser agir e jî? Is this work of yours on fire too?
E, ser agir e. Yes, on fire.
Ji me ra heftişte pişo me. Explain that thing to us.
Em ser agir çêdikin vayî. E, em dikelînin berî giya. Daxa kelî pelûl wek vê çêdibe. We make it on fire like this. Yes, we boil it first of all. Until it boils, the pudding becomes like this.
Û em wan tînin tê, nemana lê dixînin. Gi me lê xist, arta îşê xwa li vir nema ê here dera hano. And we bring them in, we dip them constantly. Once we dipped, then its work here is done, it goes to that place there.
Haya ziya bibê. Ziya bî şûnda, tekra em ê vegerînin. Haya bîst neqla lê dikeve. Until it dries. Once it dries, we will return it again. It gets dipped up to twenty times.
Bîst jara? Twenty times?
Bîst jara li vê pelûlê dikeve haya wekî vê bibê hicmê xwa. No heva ezem e. Twenty times it goes into this pudding until its volume becomes like this. Now this is the thick one ("Azem").
Heva ê ezem e. Her jara lê dixîn, ew qalinbûn çêdibe. This is the thick one. Every time we dip, that thickness happens.
Yanî teqrîben wekê belki cixare radikê. Yanî bîst, bîst xetra em tînin li vî derê dixînin. Meaning approximately like maybe it holds a cigarette. Meaning twenty, twenty lines we bring and dip in this place.
Haya usa dibê. Until it becomes like that.
Haya wek vî qaling bibê, em ê jê kin, têxin kartona, gi bilav xînin û em ê daxînin Helebê. Until it becomes thick like this, we will cut it, put it in cartons, distribute it and we will take it down to Aleppo.
Temam. Okay.
Temaşevanên hêja, wek Birê Mihemed gotî, no ne wexta suncixê jî. Dear viewers, as Brother Mohammed said, now is not the time for sucuk either.
Yani pêşda hêvîyek didin, wexta têrê dibê, di vê gundê Bedîna da ev karên zêde têne naskirin. So beforehand they give hope, when it is time, these extra works are well known in this village of Badina.

Ê rast şuwrî ta, eno dixwazê tim ehlî xwa, xwedanî xwa, gundî xwa... ît zimanî me dişixulê eno di bîrî gund da be. And truly as you say, he wanted his people, his owners (family), his villagers... the language we speak, to always be in the memory of the village.
Û tiştekî xoş e hewa, û... And this is a nice thing, and...
Tarîxê gund e, wekî dibên. It is the history of the village, as they say.
Û... yani em dixwazin bi cûz yani hîn tişt nidin rind hene têda. And... meaning we want, in part, meaning there are other good things in it too.
Temam, ka ji me ra bêje, niha ev defter e, ev di kijan salê da nivîsandî? Okay, tell us, now this notebook, in which year was this written?
Nako ma ji vir darxist... sîh... sîh û çar ktab ne, wekî te gotî. Now I took this out from here... thirty... there are thirty- four books, as you said.
Ev di kijan salê da? Which year is this one?
Hava salê heştê û... heftê da ye. This is from the year eighty... seventy.
Niha heva ktabê du hezar û sêzdeh ya me darxist, me hûna ser rû em gerîn. Now this book is from 2013 that we took out, we looked for a date.
Rû yê yanzde... da w yekî... pênca. The eleventh day... the first month... fifty (1950).
Taben rû yê yazmîşkê û tewarîx e. Of course, the day is written and the dates.
Sîdfê hatî li vê rûyê, du minasebe hene, hardik yazikirine. Coincidentally on this day, there are two occasions, he wrote both.
Li urs, Beyt Erebû, bil qerye, li gundim. A wedding, the Arab House (family name), in the village, in my village.
Yani şahî ye. So it's a celebration.
Şahî ye li gund e. Û nefs wê rûyê jî, ew çêbî halet wefat çêbî ye, Fîdan Xelkûre. It's a celebration in the village. And on that same day, that happened, a death happened, Fidan Xelkure (died).
Yani di rojekê da şahî di vê gundî da çêbûye, û di vê rûjê da jinek ji vê gundî wefat bûye. Meaning in one day, a celebration happened in this village, and on that day a woman from this village passed away.
Ah, hew hardik, hew tişt na hardik yazikirine. Yes, both, he wrote both of those things down.
Û... rûna bûyîn, havna meselen... wekî nako yekê kêlî vê tirbê çêkin, pir xalk bîr kirî... meselen tarîxê wê rûyê. And... the days of birth, these for example... like now if someone wants to make a tombstone, many people have forgotten... for example the date of that day.
E werin cem bavkî min, dibên istaz, me ra... yani wê tarîxê me de yazmîştikin, ser waraqê vir a yazmîşke û herin ser tirbê xwa, kêlî ye çêdikin. They come to my father, saying "Teacher, for us..." meaning "write that date for us," he writes it on a paper here and they go to their grave, and make the tombstone.
Yani pir... pir îstîfade kirine ji vê tirbanî nako li gund, eno... yani exlebîyek hatine cem bavkî min û vê tarîxê birne. Meaning very... they have benefited very much from this archive now in the village, so... meaning a majority have come to my father and taken the dates.
Ez te spas dikim. I thank you.
Saet xoş, ehlen we sehlen ji we ra. A pleasure, welcome to you.

Lê go hela dibên danikê Bedîna xoş e. Ez ji xwa danikî ji mera nake. But they said, "They say the Danik of Badina is good. I won't make Danik for us myself."
Ê me danik jê ra kir, go wey ji goşt xoştir bûn, go ji goşt xoştir bûn. So we made Danik for them, they said "Wow, it was better than meat, it was better than meat."

Go nizanê kulika bike. They said "She doesn't know how to make Kulik."
Me ji ra kulik kir, go le yî kulik ji giyan xoştir bû. We made Kulik for them, they said "But this Kulik was the best of all."
Yani em çi xwarinê çêbikin diecibînin. Meaning whatever food we make, they like it.
