Ê navê gund ji ku hatiye? And where did the name of the village come from?
Navê gund, li bargo derdora gundê me gelî ye, geliyê Kanî Gewrikê. Ev gelî jî ji kaniyan pêk tê. Heft kaniyên me hebûn, hemî di axa gewr da ne. The name of the village, around our village there is a valley, the valley of Kani Gewrik. This valley is full of springs. We had seven springs, they are all in grayish soil.
Ji ber wê nav lê nan, kaniya gewrik... Û ber wê kaniya gewrik, kaniya gewrik, kaniya gewrik û heta niha Kanî Gewrik e. Because of that they named it, the grayish spring... And since then it was grayish spring, grayish spring, grayish spring and until now it is Kani Gewrik.
Naha gundê we bi navê kîjanî tê naskirin? Bi navê Şêx Ebdurehman? What is your village currently known as? As Şêx Ebdurehman?
Piştî demekê, gundê me navê xwe Kanî Gewrik bû, piştî demekê rîjîmê hat navê gundan guhertin, dewletê guhertin da, navê gundê me jî guhertin. After a while, the name of our village was Kani Gewrik, after a while the regime came and changed the names of the villages, the state changed them, and they changed the name of our village too.
Bi navê zaretê kirin, gundê me, Şêx Ebdurehman e. They named it after the shrine, our village is Şêx Ebdurehman.
Zaret jî di nêzîk gund e? Is the shrine near the village too?
Zaret kîlometreyekê ji gund dûr e, nêzîk e, qeraxê gund e. Û gund... navê gundê we bi navê zaretê kirin Şêx Ebdurehman. The shrine is about a kilometer away from the village, it's close, on the edge of the village. And the village... they named your village after the shrine, Şêx Ebdurehman.
Lê wek milet, di nav xwe de dibêjin kîjanê, Kanî Gewrikê? But as people, among yourselves, what do you call it, Kani Gewrik?
Di nav xwe de tê nas kirin, Kanî Gewrik e, bira. Among ourselves, it is known as Kani Gewrik, brother.
Û wê dîsa jî naguhere. And that still hasn't changed.
Em tim dibêjin Kanî Gewrik e û tim naha jî Kanî Gewrik e. We always call it Kani Gewrik and even now it's always Kani Gewrik.
Yanî çi qas wan guhertin Kanî Gewrik, me jî neguhert, ji ber em dibêjin Kanî Gewrik e. I mean, no matter how much they changed Kani Gewrik, we didn't change it, because we say it's Kani Gewrik.

Ciyê vehesê bû, û li vir derê, xew dikirin, bazirganî dikirin, bazarê xwe hinekî dikirin li vê derê, û vî derî bû. It was a resting place, and here, they would sleep, trade, do a bit of marketing here, and this was the place.

Xelk pir te. Many people come.
Ewa wekî vê zahmetiyan diqewmin. Evê hîro îna. Xelk tê. These are like those difficulties happening. The ones of today brought. People come.
Û Elhamdulillah ev tişt li xwa de dibînin, diçûn paşê vegeriyan. And Alhamdulillah they see these things in themselves, they went and then returned.
Û paşî... Û wextê ku dan ew ertek nexweşxane an tiştek... e wa em nizanin ku derê ne, mesela. And then... And when they gave those to the hospital or something... those we don't know where they are, for example.

Mesela ji... mesela de gundê Franse da... şêxê wan gund bû. For example from... the story of the village where the French were in... their sheikh was a village.
Di gundê Franse da, Şêx li vir kom bûne. Mebnî tehta ne. In the village of the French, the Sheikhs gathered here. They are based down.

Di nav eşîreke dîtin ew. They saw him in a tribe.
Beriya aş dihat... Before the mill came...
Şebab... pezê xwa di derê re şaş kirin. The youth... lost their sheep through the door.
Ew pez bi xwe hest... sero binê... pez gişt a... sê ro bi xwe re girtin heta da talî. Bû fîtile, yanî pez dît, tiştek... nedan ewan. Subhanallah. Yanê ew bab... bi qeder û îrade. The sheep felt it themselves... upside down... all the sheep... they kept them for three days until the end. It was a wick, meaning they saw the sheep, nothing... they didn't give them. Subhanallah. I mean that door... with destiny and will.
Heta qedereke îlahî ye. It's up to divine destiny.
Û şêx li vir in. And the sheikhs are here.
Welleh, Elhemdulillah. Well, Alhamdulillah.
Mala we ava be. Xwedê we kêm nasike. May your house be prosperous. May God never lessen you.

Gundê Kaniyê li derdora gund hene; Kaniya Mîraza, Kaniya Biniya Malê, Sêvara, Kaniya Gund. Around the village of Kaniya, there are springs: Kaniya Mîraza, Kaniya Biniya Malê, Sêvara, and Kaniya Gund.
Ev kanî weke jêderên çavkaniyên avê ji xelkê gund re bûn. These springs were the source of water for the village people.
Ziyaretgeha Şêx Ebdurehman bin Ewf û dengê malbata Şêx Rabo li vir dimînin ji bo xizmetkirina wî. The Shrine of Sheikh Abdul Rahman bin Awf, and members of the Sheikh Rabo family stay here to serve him.
Gel ji deverên derdorê tên qurbanan li ber dikin bi armanca pêkanîna hêvî û daxwazan. People from surrounding areas come to offer sacrifices with the aim of fulfilling their hopes and wishes.
Piraniya kaniyên gundê ji dema Fransiyan de, di bin serdariya Cindirêsê de hatine avakirin. Most of the village's springs were built during the French mandate, under the administration of Jindires.
Merheba jinara. Hello to the women.
Ehlen we sehlen. Welcome.
Emê hev nas bikin? Shall we introduce ourselves?
Mela... ez Mecîde me. Indeed... I am Mecîde.
Ser çavê min. Sax bî. On my eyes. Be well.
Dayê em te jî nas bikin? Mother, may we get to know you too?
Merheba, ji we re. Hello to you.
Ser çavê min. On my eyes.
Çavê te sax bin. Navê min Fatme ye. May your eyes be healthy. My name is Fatme.
Ser çavê min dayê. On my eyes, mother.
Çavê te sax bin. May your eyes be healthy.
Sax bî. Gundê we bi navê Kaniyê hatiye naskirin û bi navê Kaniyê hatiye navkirin jî. Be well. Your village is known by the name 'Kaniyê' (The Spring) and it was named 'Kaniyê' too.
Ê me meraq kir em derbas bin, ser kaniyên we bin. So we were curious and wanted to come over and see your springs.
Ehlen we sehlen. Welcome.
Sax bî. Amma nav giştî, çend kanî di gund de hene? Be well. But in general, how many springs are in the village?
Çar. Four.
Çar kanî ne arê. There are four springs, yes.
Ko giştî hev yek in ha? Ê dî li kû derê ne? Are they all generally the same? Where are the others?
Ê di gund de li jor in. Well, they are up in the village.
Li ku derê? Where exactly?
Yek li Zaretê ye. One is at Zaretê.
Yek dîsa li Zaretê a jêr da ye. Another one is at Zaretê, down below.
Yek a ha wa, One is over there,
Yek jî a binî maliyê bû, One was below the houses,
Yek jî a cem kopriyê bû. And one was by the bridge.
Bûn pênc wilokan. That makes five then.
Bûn pênc. Pênc. It became five. Five.
Navê vê kaniyê çi ne? What is the name of this spring?
Welle navê wê vira dibêjin Kaniya Miraza ya hanê. Wallah, the name of this one here, they call it the Spring of Wishes over there.
Kîjan ha we? Which one is there?
Ha wa em dibênê ha wa. Bes pîrek dibêjin a jor e. That's the one we say is there. But the old women say it's the upper one.
Dayê hûn dibêjin a jor e? Mother, do you say it's the upper one?
Ehe. A jor e. Yes. It's the upper one.
A jor e. Em qîz bûn, jin, xelk pir nediketinê bes gundî ser wê bûn. It's the upper one. When we were young girls, women and people didn't go there much, only the villagers relied on it.
Yek bi yek diçûn xeratiyê diçûn ava xwe jê tanîn. Digotin Kaniya Miraza ye. Ha we. They would go one by one for charity, they would bring their water from it. They called it the Spring of Wishes. Like that.
Ê nexwe ji bo çi navê wê lê kirin Mîraza? So why did they name it Wishes?
Çi zanim de, car hene daxwaz dikirin, car hene mirazê wan pêk dihatin, hingî girtin çêkirin û wilo digotin. What do I know, sometimes they made wishes, sometimes their wishes came true, so they established it and called it that.
Digotin, a miraza ye. Û ha wa... hew. Kaniyê weha wa ye. They called it, the one of wishes. And like that... that's it. It's that kind of spring.
Bes a kaniya ev ê binî gundî, gund gişt li ser wê kaniyê ye. But this spring below the village, the whole village relies on this spring.
Gundiyê bi me giştkî... ava xwe derê xwe gişt li ser wêrê bû. All of our villagers... their water and everything else was entirely dependent on it.
Kincê xwe diştin, serê xwe diştin, gişt karê xwe li wê derê dikirin. Wê kaniyê. They washed their clothes, washed their hair, they did all their work there. At that spring.
Dayê tu bixwe ji vî gundî yî yan tu bûka vî gundî yî? Mother, are you from this village yourself, or are you a bride of this village?
Welle ez ji vî gundî me. Wallah, I am from this village.
Û tu bûka vî gundî yî jî? And you are a bride of this village too?
Ez bûka vî gundî me. I am a bride of this village.
Ser çavê min. On my eyes.
Çavê te sax bin. May your eyes be healthy.
Tu jî? And you?
Ez jî ji vî gundî me. I am from this village too.
Û bûka vî gundî yî jî? And are you a bride of this village too?
Bûka vî gundî me. I am a bride of this village.

Em dihatin... em bîst keçik hev bûn. Divê em deh... deh qor qîz vêya jî... deh qor qîz vêya jî. We would come... there were twenty of us girls together. We had to line up... ten girls in a row on this side... ten girls in a row on that side.
Û reha deha... ev ji av me dikişandin, xatira ava me da, me da birin diçûn, rê di nav me da hebû, em av bi ser hev da dikirin. And for those tens... we drew water, for the sake of our water we would take it and go, there was a path between us, we would splash water on each other.
Yanî qasiyî em dibezîn dar... em qasiyî em şa dibûn... yanî em bi hêza xwa ne dihesîn. I mean we would run up to the trees so much... we were so happy... I mean we didn't even feel our own fatigue.
Qasiyî em pir... dilxweş bûn û keyfxweş bûn. We were just so... joyful and happy.
Yane hûn keçik bi hev diketin dihatin vir? So you girls would get together and come here?
Dê... nexwe! Bîst keçik bi hev diketin. Bi kerb û bi mesxere... Well... of course! Twenty girls would get together. Joking and messing around...

Yanî em pir... dilxweş bûn. I mean we were very... happy.
Yane we demên xwe yê li vir jî derbas dikir, we bes... em bêjin ne ji bo avê... So you spent your time here as well, you only... let's say not just for water...
Na me derbas dikir... me behnik jî ji xwe re ava dikir... No, we spent our time... we would set up a little something for ourselves...
Me çaxir jî xwar, me xwe re av dikir, me şîv dikir... We drank wine, we prepared water, we had dinner...
Yanî dikin bi bêsîk zorê em diçûna malê. Meaning we would only go home with great difficulty.
Qasî em li vir kêf dikirin. We had so much fun here.
Dayê çi te bîra te demê we dihatin vir ha? Mother, what do you remember from the times you came here?
Em dihatin vira vira gişt dirî bûn... gihşt dar û ber bûn ser... We used to come here, and everywhere here was thorns... the trees and branches reached over...
Me kel berkêş dikirin... me kinc diştin, me girîk disixistin ser êzingan... ser pûş, ser dera... We would boil and carry pots... we washed clothes, we placed our cooking pots on the firewood... on the dry grass, on the branches...
Me serê xwe... ber geliyan diştin... We washed our hair... down in the valleys...
Me serê aciyan dişt... We washed the old women's hair...
Me kincê xwe dişuştin, ser serê xwe de qewan dikir... We washed our clothes, balanced things on our heads...
Me firaqê xwe, firaqê xwarinê dikir serê serê xwe, me kincê xwe... em dilîstin em diçûna mala xwe. We put our dishes, our food dishes on our heads, our clothes... we played and went home.
Û ew wisa... And it was like that...
Te û jinên gund berê we... ? Did you and the village women used to... ?
Pir! Pir! Ne tenê sê çar jin, pênc jin dihatin gund, qasi hef-heşt. Dihatin qor qor asê avê dihatin. A lot! A lot! Not just three or four women, five women came to the village, maybe seven or eight. They came in turns to fetch water.
Em dihatin cem hev, me gişk karê xwe bi hev re dikir. We would gather together, and we did all our work together.
We wejnen wisa xweş bûn... Those times were so nice...
Nexweş bûn lê wekî nika wekî na ku bûn. They were hard, but not like they are now.
Em dihatin me kel paş dikirin, em pir rihet... em tahab dibûn weleh di vî halî de. We would come and set up the pots, we were very comfortable... we would get tired, wallahi, in this state.
Me kel dişuştin, me dar rê dikirin, me firî didan der, me sariyê xwe dişuştin. Me ji hev re bi hevaltî dişuştin... We washed the pots, we arranged the wood, we took things outside, we washed our hair. We washed things for each other in friendship...
Ica em zarok bûn serî zarokê xwe dişuşt. And when we had children, we washed our children's hair.
Me her karê xwe dikir. We did all our chores.
Ê bîrên kaniyê berê hebûn. The wells of the spring used to be here.
Berê, kaniyê berê her wisa bûn. In the past, the springs of the past were always like this.
Hindî ne ku gund mal in... wek heman in wek tişt in, ne wek berê ye... As long as the village has houses... they are like the same, like things, it's not like the past...
Ê baş e, serkeftin ji we re. Alright, success to you.
Sax bî. Be well.
Spas ji we re, em ê herin ji aliyê zarokan jî wek ku... em bêjin em bi kaniyê dest bi... sax bî. Thank you, we will go towards the children as well... let's say we start by the spring... be well.

Gundê... Petetê. The village of... Petete.
Yanî te di zaroktiyê de fêr bû? I mean, did you learn it in childhood?
Dihate cem min, ez diçûm cem, tu zanî çûk bûm. She would come to me, I would go to her, you know I was young.
Piçûk bûm. Meşxûl diçûm dihatim. I was little. I was busy coming and going.
Pişt re ez mezin bûm, min zewicandin. Qicikê xwa bûn... Later I grew up, they married me off. I had my own children...
Yekê bi nav çend derê sê yekê ben... çi derê min ra dihatin pêşev dibûn herin mal, me bi tiştê der anî qicika. One from among them took a child... they would come to me, they would swell up, they would go home, we extracted things from the children.
Digot ew nayê rihet bûn. She said that one won't get better.
Ê ev nexweşî li textoran nakin rihet bikin? Can't doctors cure this disease?
Na. No.
Textor dibê herin derman bidin herin filanî bidin ev filanî bêjin boş e, ta dişewitînin çarçoveya xwe baş e. Doctors say go give medicine, go give this and that, this and that is useless, until they burn its frame it's fine.
Dayê te derman çêdikir te derman ji textor re? Mother, do you make medicine or from the doctor?
Na. No.
Çê nakî? You don't make it?
Tiştekî nizanim xeynî vê yekê... pêve nizanim bawo. I don't know anything else except this one... I don't know anything else, son.
Zarokên gund hemî têne cem te? Do all the children of the village come to you?
Erê ê kê bû têne cem min. Yes, whoever it is comes to me.
Ê gundên din derdora we? And the other villages around you?
Na. No.
Bes ê gund. Bes ê gundê xwe. Only the village. Only my own village.
Ewa kê dinê ketiye ez naşewtînim. Bes ê gundê xwe. If anyone else falls ill, I don't burn them. Only my own village.
Dayê tu ji mija xwe bê karî dikî? Mother, do you do this job for free?
Em bêmiş diki ne. We do it for free.
Ba dî em bimol bin şûn de em ev kar a kir. Back then, when we had cattle, we did this job.
Me bi canê xwa nakir. We didn't do it for ourselves.
Hema me şîret xwa didî, wer kir de derman filan, me carê çêne kirî. We just gave our advice, did this for medicine etc., we didn't always make it.
Wekî din ji tu kes çê ne kir cem min. No one else came to me for a cure.
Bes qenaata te bi şewate ye? Are you only convinced by burning?
Bes qenaeta me bi şewatê ye. Wekî din tu tişt nakim. We are only convinced by burning. I don't do anything else.
Ka ev alî me... kembera te şewitî ne? Did you burn this side... your waist?
Ez ê dişewitînim! (dikene) I will burn it! (laughs)
Ka gava zarok tê ka tu çawa dişewitînî? When a child comes, how do you burn them?
Ev e zarok e dişewtînim. This is the child, I burn him.
Xwedê kî mebesta te ne dîne... Sihheta te xweş be. May God grant your purpose... May your health be good.
Gota te jî xweş. Your words are also good.
Spas. Thanks.
Tu jî baş bî. Xwedê hevala we be. You too, be well. May God be with you.
Her wiha du pakrewan, şervanên hêzên me ku di encama qezaya asmanî de jiyana xwe ji dest dane, Also two martyrs, fighters of our forces who lost their lives in the aviation accident,
Şehîd Rojvan Efrîn û Şehîd Serbilind. Martyr Rojvan Afrin and Martyr Serbilind.
Komîna gund bi navê Şehîd Rojvan Efrîn e û dibistana gund bi navê Şehîd Navîn e. The village commune is named after Martyr Rojvan Afrin and the village school is named after Martyr Navin.
Hefteyek pêş, hefteyek paş, xebat û xizmetên qebîleyan û rûspî û mezinên gund bûn. A week before, a week after, there were works and services of the tribes and the elders and leaders of the village.
Gelek kes û xort ji bo gundê xwe têkoşer bûn, Many people and youths struggled for their village,
Li gel qehremanên dilpak û xelkê gund bûn. They were alongside the sincere heroes and the village people.
Wey bijî stara te, saet te xweş be. Wey bijî stara te, bijî stara te. May your star live on, have a good time. May your star live on, may it live on.
Daxwazên te sax bin. May your wishes come true.
Sax bî, dilê te sax bî babo, mal û hal amade. Stay healthy, may your heart be healthy father, may your home and life be well.
Tu ji vê re çi dibêjî? What do you call this?
Em berê dibêjin pîk. We used to call it "pîk" in the past.
Pîk. Pîk.
Zirna jê heye? Is there also a zurna?
Zirna jê, em alevî dibêjin zirne. Wek canpîrên me, her dem me zirne lê dida. The zurna, we Alevis call it zurna. Just like our old souls, we always used to play the zurna.
Zirna wek... A zurna like...
Ev ha pîk e. Zirneyê din wek pîzpîzok... me bi kar nedianî. This one is a pîk. The other small zurnas called "pîzpîzok"... we never used those.
Te kengî dest bi lêxistinê kir? When did you start playing it?
Ez xort bûm fêr bûm, min xwe pê mezin kir. I learned it when I was a young man, I grew up with it.
Te wî çaxî şivantî dikir? Were you working as a shepherd back then?
Belê, em hîn jî şivantiyê dikin. Yes, we still work as shepherds.
Niha pezê te heye? Do you have sheep now?
Heye. Lê binêre, em pîzpîzok bi kar naynin, min qet ew kar neşixuland welleh. I do. But look, we don't use the small zurnas, I never used them by God.
Te ew çêdikirin an dikirîn? Did you make them yourself or buy them?
Na xêr, me dikirîn. No, we used to buy them.
Ev kirî ye? Is this one bought?
Ev hesin e, me kirî ye. This is made of iron, we bought it.
Ev jî ji qamîş e. And this is made of reed.
Qamîş e. Ew a din çi ye? It's a reed. What is the other one?
Ev pîk e. This is a pîk.
Ji çi tê çêkirin ev? What is it made of?
Nizanim ji çi çêdikin, ji leq çêdikin, qaşilê daran, ne dar bixwe ye. I don't know what they make it from, they make it from tree bark, not the wood itself.
Pîk e. It's a pîk.
Ka ji me re navê xwe bêje da em te nas bikin. Now tell us your name so we can get to know you.
Navê min Ebdû ye. Ebdûyê Kumo me. Ji gundê Kaniya Gewrik im. My name is Ebdu. I am Ebdu of Kumo. I am from Kaniya Gewrik village.
Ser çava. Very nice to meet you.
Çavên te sax bin. May your eyes be healthy.
Saet xweş. Kincên te wek yên herêma Şêrawa ne. Thank you. Your clothes look like the ones from the Sherawa region.
Em ji Kîmarê ne. Em ji Kîmarê hatin vir. We are from Kimar. We came here from Kimar.
Kîmar li Şêrawa ye, ne wisa? Kimar is in Sherawa, isn't it?
Belê li Şêrawa ye. Yes, it is in Sherawa.
Çend sal in hûn hatine Kaniya Gewrikê? How many years has it been since you came to Kaniya Gewrik?
Ji mêj ve. Nêzî sed salî ye. Lê me wek gund wisa ava kir. A long time. It has been about a hundred years. But we built it up as a village.
Wê demê gundekî mezin bû? Was it a large village at that time?
Belê, em malbat bûn û me wisa gund ava kir. Yes, we were a large family and we built the village like that.
Baş e ev darên hinarê yên we ne? Alright, are these pomegranate trees yours?
Ev hinar xwedê dane me, xwedê nesîb kiriye welleh. God gave us these pomegranates, God granted them to us by God.
Çiqas darên hinarê we hene? How many pomegranate trees do you have?
Li vir dora çarsed darên cûreya lefan hene. Û şêst an pêncî dar jî berzera ne. Around here there are about four hundred trees of the Lefan variety. And sixty or fifty trees are of the Berzera variety.
Çarsed dar fransî ne, ew ên sor in. Û dused û pêncî dar jî dîsa lefan in, li milê şimalê ne. Four hundred trees are French, the red ones. And two hundred and fifty trees are again Lefan, on the northern side.
Qewet can be. Te hinarên xwe firotine? May you have strength. Have you sold your pomegranates?
Welleh bazar çiqas bike em bi wî nirxî didin. By God, we will sell them for whatever the market brings.
We hê dest bi qetandinê nekiriye ne wisa? You haven't started picking them yet, right?
Na, em ê van rojan dest pê bikin. No, we will start these days.
Dibe ku heta payîzê ew dar wiha bimînin, heta wextê zeytûnan em xelas nakin. These trees might stay like this until autumn, we won't finish until the olive season.
Piştî hinarê zeytûn dest pê dikin, zeytûnên we jî hene? After the pomegranates, the olives begin, do you also have olives?
Zeytûnên me jî hene, em hinarê xelas dikin paşê dest bi zeytûnan dikin. We also have olives, we will finish the pomegranates and then start with the olives.
Zeytûnên we kîjan wextî têne qetandin? At what time are your olives picked?
Welleh wek mînak ew ên zû digihêjin, em berhev dikin û dibin Şamê. By God, for example, the ones that ripen early, we collect them and take them to Damascus.
Hûn dibin derveyî Efrînê? You take them outside of Afrin?
Ew yên Efrînê ne welleh. Zeytûnên mayî jî heta meha yazdehan em hemûyan xelas dikin. They are from Afrin by God. As for the remaining olives, we finish all of them by the eleventh month.
Ji bo avdanê bîrên we hene? Do you have wells for irrigation?
Ji bo zeytûnan bîr tunene, em zeytûnan av nadin. Lê bîr li nav zeviyan hene, nêzî heftsed bîr di herêmê de hene. There are no wells for the olives, we don't water the olives. But there are wells in the fields, there are nearly seven hundred wells in the area.
Li vê derê kaniyên avê tunene? Are there no water springs here?
Ava kaniyê li vir tuneye, me bîr derxistiye û bi matoran avê dikişînin. There is no spring water here, we have dug a well and draw the water with a pump.
Hûn xizmeta hinaran çawa dikin, derman dikin? How do you take care of the pomegranates, do you use medicine?
Xizmet giring e, wek cilên li ser te. Em derman dikin û gubre didinê. Care is important, just like the clothes on your back. We apply medicine and give them fertilizer.
Em wan paqij dikin û dîsa derman didin. We clean them and apply medicine again.
Berê me ewqas derman nedida heta ku dar nexweş neketana, naha kulîlkan jî derman dikin. In the past we didn't use medicine until the trees got sick, now we even apply medicine to the flowers.
Dema kurm dikeve hanarê, daxilî em derman didin heta ku nemînin. When worms get inside the pomegranates, we apply medicine internally until they are gone.
Hinarên herî baş û rind kîjan cure ne? Which type of pomegranates are the best and most beautiful?
Kîjan hinar baştir e? Yê ku baş were xizmetkirin, rind av û derman bibîne ewa herî baş e welleh! Which pomegranate is the best? The one that is well cared for, watered nicely, and properly medicated is the best by God!
Dibêjin hinarên Miskê herî baş in, gelo wisa ye? They say Miske's pomegranates are the best, is that so?
Welleh ez nabêjim wisa ye, hinar hemî yek e, kî kar û xizmet bike wê berhemek baş bigre. By God, I wouldn't say that, all pomegranates are the same, whoever works and cares for them will get a good harvest.
Yanî girêdayî xizmetê ye, kî xizmetê bike berhem ewqas rind dibe. So it depends on the care, whoever takes care of it, the harvest will be that good.
Heta kar berdewam be, tu wê xizmetê bikî dar berhemdar dibe. As long as the work continues, and you provide the care, the tree becomes fruitful.
Em vî karî bi berdewamî dikin welleh. We do this work continuously by God.
Çiqas dem e tu vî karî dikî? How long have you been doing this work?
Ez nizanim, temenê min bi vî karî çû. I don't know, my whole life has been spent doing this work.
Kî bi te re kar dikin, jin û zarok hene? Who works with you, are there women and children?
Jinên ereb û zarok bi me re kar dikin. Li milê rojhilat. Erebên li Şêrawa rûdinên bi me re dixebitin welleh. Arab women and children work with us. On the eastern side. The Arabs living in Sherawa work with us by God.
Ew Ereb şêniyên Şêrawa ne? Are those Arabs inhabitants of Sherawa?
Erebên aliyê rojhilat in. Jin û keçên ereb em bi wan re vî karî dikin. They are the Arabs from the eastern side. We do this work with Arab women and girls.
Wê demê wekî niha ev deşt wisa şîn nebû, dar pir nebûn. Back then, this plain wasn't as green as it is now, there weren't many trees.
Berê pez hebû em şivantî dikirin. Jinan wisa xizmeta daran nedikir. In the past there were sheep and we used to shepherd them. Women didn't care for the trees like this.
Berê dar tunebûn, ew deşt vala bûn me pez lê diçêrand welleh. Em wisa dijiyan. There were no trees in the past, those plains were empty and we grazed our sheep there by God. That's how we lived.
Min hemû tişt dît welleh! Niha min pez firotiye û ev jiyana nû wisa derbas dibe. Pîrî ye, jiyan qediya. I have seen everything by God! Now I've sold the sheep and this new life passes like this. It is old age, life is over.
Mala te ava be. Em ê niha ji te xatir bixwazin û biçin ba hevalê te yê din. Bless your home. We will now bid you farewell and go to your other friend.
Saetên te xweş bin, înşellah her tişt baş bibe û xwedê we xêrê bide. Em hêvî dikin her roj baştir bibe. Have a good time, God willing everything will be well and God will reward you. We hope that every day will be better.
Îşellah mala te ava be welleh, qedrê te heye. God willing, bless your home by God, you have my respect.
Em ê her dem hevdî bibînin, ser çavan, em ê biçin we bibînin. We will always see each other, you are very welcome, we will go and see you.
Buhar xweş bû ya dil min herimandin Spring was beautiful, oh heart, they ruined it for me
Gul û çîçek emrê min çilmisandin The roses and flowers of my life they withered
Hingî derd û kul, êşa li min werandin They poured so much pain, sorrow, and suffering on me
Ma ne bese tenê mane li yadê Isn't it enough they only remained in memory
Buhar xweş bû ya dil min herimandin Spring was beautiful, oh heart, they ruined it for me
Gul û çîçek emrê min çilmisandin The roses and flowers of my life they withered
Hingî derd û kul, êşa li min werandin They poured so much pain, sorrow, and suffering on me
Ma ne bese tenê mane li yadê Isn't it enough they only remained in memory
Mi gelek xwest yara nêzîk bi cana I wanted a beloved close to my soul so much
Ez bi derdê mezin hatim dewrana I came to this era with great pain
Nema baweriyê mi bi kesî anan I no longer put my belief in anyone
Ma ne bese tenê mane li yadê Isn't it enough they only remained in memory
Mi gelek xwest yarê dil bi cana I wanted the beloved of my heart with my soul so much
Ez bi derdê mezin hatim dewrana I came to this era with great pain
Nema baweriya min bi kesî heval na I no longer have belief in any friend no
Ma ne bese tenê mane li yadê Isn't it enough they only remained in memory
Dunya ev e parek me re namîne This is the world, a share doesn't remain for us
Felek pîr bextreş e me re xayîn e Fate is old and unfortunate, it is a traitor to us
Heta canim diçe kesek nabîne Until my soul departs no one sees
Ma ne bese tenê mane li yadê Isn't it enough they only remained in memory
Dunya ev e parek me re namîne This is the world, a share doesn't remain for us
Felek pîr bextreş e me re xayîn e Fate is old and unfortunate, it is a traitor to us
Heta canim diçe kesek nabîne Until my soul departs no one sees
Ma ne bese tenê mane li yadê Isn't it enough they only remained in memory
