Naha em dibêjin qala şanoyê bikin... Now we say let's talk about the play...
Apê Ehmed. Uncle Ehmed.
Te di kîjan salê de û di kîjan demê de dest bi şanoyê kir? Go ahead.
Te di kîjan salê de û di kîjan demê de dest bi şanoyê kir? In what year and what time did you start doing plays?
Heval salên nodî, nod û yekê, nod û duduyan, nod û sêsiyan, nod û çaran, Friend, the nineties, ninety-one, ninety-two, ninety-three, ninety-four,
heta niha nod û pêncan, em negihiştin armanca xwe. up to ninety-five now, we didn't reach our goal.
Lê ew nû fîhes... emniyeta dewlet şêdan, But then there was a sense... the security of the mad state,
hevalên ku xwe berbad nedikirin. the friends who wouldn't ruin themselves.
Sirûc û qat, ewên îşkence û we zahmetiyê borandin... Sirens and floors, the ones who endured the torture and hardship...
fihlen zehmetî dîtin partiya me xweş. actually faced difficulties, good for our party.
Bi rastî partiya welatparêz a demokrat e. Truly it is a patriotic and democratic party.
Sekineke wê nedît, ku kesekî digot em ê we îşkence bikin û helak bikin. It didn't see a stop, that anyone said we will torture you and destroy you.
Di salên nod û pêncan de me mesrehîyek derxist. In the year ninety-five we put out a play.
Naha em bêjin te di kîjan komê de bûyî? Now let's say, in which group were you?
Heval koma Berxwedan bû, koma Agirî bû. Friend, it was the Berxwedan group, it was the Agirî group.
Elmihîm vana komên ha herdik bûn. Kî derxist pêşî? Koma Berxwedan bû. Anyway, these were the groups, both of them. Who brought it forward first? It was the Berxwedan group.
Yanî ev di wan deman de Koma Agirî ya zekî bû, Koma... So in those times it was the smart Agirî group, the group...
Erê... heval, ev in. Koma Agirî jî hebû her kîşkê navekî komekê ya xwe li xwe danîbû heval. Yes... friend, these. There was also the Agirî group, every person gave a group name to themselves, friend.
Dewê da tenzîmat kêm bûn. At that time organizations were lacking.
Di her demê da elhemdulîlah, tenzîmat rast bûn û ketin nav qalikê xwe. In every time, thank God, the organizations became real and fell into their shell.
Çi kom û çi hunermend û çi jî her karek tê kirin, îla bi nîzamekî. Whether a group or an artist or any work being done, it's only with a system.
Di vî nîzamî de alhemdulîlah em dikişînin xêrê. In this system, thank God, we are suffering for the good.
Wê demê wek eşwayî bû, em her kesekî karek bi destê xwe dikir. At that time it was like random, we each did a work with our own hands.
Apê Ehmed, di şanoyê de karê te kûşkar bû? Uncle Ehmed, in the play your job was a cobbler?
Karê min kûşkar bû. My job was a cobbler.
We kîderê şano çêdikirin... tu bi kîderê pêşkêş dikir? Where did you do plays... where did you present it?
Heval, ez di eydiyên Newrozê de li her derekê ku koma mesrehiye hebû em hazir bûn heval. Friend, during the Newroz holidays, wherever there was a theater group, we were ready, friend.
Di nav seyrangehê bû... li ber kelê bû... It was in the park... it was in front of the castle...
li Çiyayê Cindirîsê li ser telê bû... it was on the Cindires mountain on the hill...
heval li her derekê ku dixwestin di van çar salan de em amade bûn, sînga me ji partiyê re vekirî bû. friend, wherever they wanted in those four years we were ready, our chests were open to the party.
Yanî li kuderê ba we ev karê xwe dikir? So wherever it was, you did your work?
Em hazir bûn... erê heval. We were ready... yes friend.
Ê hûn çend kes bûn di wê demê de? Well, how many of you were there at that time?
Welleh heval, kes pir bûn taqrîben mesrehîya me dor sed, sed û sî, sed û çil kes bûn. By God friend, there were many people, approximately our play was around a hundred, a hundred and thirty, a hundred and forty people.
Sed û çil kes? A hundred and forty people?
Erê! Hemî jî... Yes! All of them...
Ev kom e, bi giştî? Is this the group, in total?
Ê kom e, mesrehiye ne tenê kom e. The group, the theater is not just the group.
Ê bazdanên... ê boçke bin... belkî e bazdanê bîst kes dibin. The runners... would be... maybe the runners would be twenty people.
Ji qîzan, ji xortan bîst kes bûn. From girls, from youths there were twenty people.
Yanî komeke ceddî bû mesrehiye, ev dîl bû yanî. So it was a serious theater group, this was the heart, I mean.
Te di şanoyê de aynen bi vî rengî we tişt dikir? Did you do things exactly in this style in the play?
Bi vî rengî me çêdikir heval, teb'en milet hebû ye, hevalên me hebû, We did it in this style friend, of course there were people, we had friends,
em wisa li ser pêşerojan diketin, karên siyasî di nav da hebû. we used to fall upon the future like this, there were political activities involved.
Opozîsyon da hebû... her karek hebû wisa... There was opposition involved... whatever job there was, it was like this.
Em bêjin naha na bi xwe te rolek tenê hebû an rola te guherî? Let's say now, did you have only one role yourself or did your role change?
Na ez rola min ne tenê bû, yanî pêwîst e tiştekî şêrîn be milet guhdar ke. No, my role was not just one, meaning it's necessary for it to be a bit sweet so people would listen.
Lewra ji destpêka partiya me da xebatên me bi her rengî hebû, Because since the beginning of our party, our activities were in every color,
ku heta naha em gihiştin vê merheleyê, çekdariyê û elhemdulillah me çavê dijmin şikand. until now we reached this stage, armed struggle and thank God we broke the enemy's eye.
Yanî di dorên te de pirs... tu kûşkar bûyî aynen bi vî rengî te... So questions about your roles... you were a cobbler exactly in this style...
Temam, yekî dî jî hebû, wekî hevalê Mennan îxanet dikir, wekî wî eskerê... ecem bû... yan polîsekî Kemalîzmê ye. Okay, there was another one, betraying like comrade Mennan, like that soldier... he was an Iranian... or a Kemalist policeman.
Dihatin kerameta Kurda îxanetê bikin. They came to betray the dignity of the Kurds.
Yanî wê şanoyê li ser wê yekê bû? I mean that play was about that?
Holê li ser wê esasê jî me berxwe da... me digot berxwedan jiyan e. Yes, on that basis we also resisted... we used to say resistance is life.
Navê wê çi bû? Vê komê... What was its name? This group...
Navê xwe... Berxwedan bû. Its name... was Resistance.
Ji kuderê bû? Where was it from?
Ji Şêxurze bû... It was from Şêxurze...
Pir kes hebûn... wele pir kes tên bîra min... li Şêx el-Dîn ji Mihemed... ji Serincikê bû. There were many people... by God many people come to mind... in Şêx el-Dîn from Mihemed... from Serincik.
Navê wî nayê bîra min, Muxtar... gundekî gelek kesên me yên komê hebûn, yanî em berxwe didan. I can't remember his name, Muxtar... there were many people from a village in our group, meaning we were resisting.
Ê naha em bêjin wê demê de pir zehmetî dikişand ser şanoyê? Well now let's say at that time you faced a lot of difficulties doing theater?
Heval, zehmetî pir bûn. Hevalêkî me hebû, Ebû Selam bû, çiqas ji dest wan reviya bî... Friend, there were many difficulties. We had a friend named Abu Salam, he ran away from them so much...
pîxwaz di gundê Şikya... Heta me ji destê wan xilas kir, em bi xwe hingî gelek xirabtir bûn. barefoot in the village of Şikya... Until we rescued him from them, we ourselves were in a much worse state then.
(To a passerby) (To a passerby)
Yanî weha bû heval. So it was like this, friend.
Yanî elhemdulillah em vê rojê jî berxwe didin. So thank God we are still resisting to this day.
Û em dixwazin... çi ji me tê xwestin em bi canê xwe bi dilê xwe bikin. And we want... whatever is asked of us we will do it with our heart and soul.
Partiya me hêca ye, em jibin îşkenceya dijmin xilas bûn, Our party is precious, we were saved from the enemy's torture,
l'ezel li dorên me dijminatiya me re dikişînin. immediately those around us are drawing hostility towards us.
Elhemdulillah me ev keftarên wîha dirandin... Thank God, we tore apart those hyenas...
Apê Ehmed, di wê demê de... tu çend... te nedixwest.. tu rola te veşartî bikira... yanî tu dixwest rola veşartî bikira? Uncle Ehmed, at that time... how much... didn't you want to... play your role secretly... I mean did you want to play a hidden role?
Naw, ez şanoyê di wî wextî nedikir... ez dibêjim ... No, I didn't do theater at that time... I say...
Baş e. Alright.
Erê. Yes.
Yanî te nexwestiya te rolekî veşartî bikira. I mean you didn't want to play a hidden role.
Heval, ez di xwaziya taqeta min nav a... ez dipirsim bira ... pîr bim... mesrehekî... Friend, I want to but I don't have the energy... I ask brother... I'm old... a play...
ez biçim palê çûm gundekî, min go ez bes warim xelkê guhdar kin... going to the edge of a village, I said I should just come and let people listen...
ez di van tiştan de derbas dibim, di mesrehiye de xêr û xêrat şikir da, me gelekî kir. I pass through these things, in the theater for the sake of goodness, thanks to God, we did a lot.
Û min şukir ji ma derbas kir û ez bi yekîtî kar... And thankfully it passed from us and I worked with unity...
Baş e hevalê min... Okay my friend...
Erê. Yes.
Di dawiyê de em malavahiya te dikin apê. In the end, we thank you uncle.
Mezin, bi xêr û xweşî. You're welcome, with goodness and joy.
Xwedê quweta bide we û hêza we biparêze. May God give you strength and protect your power.
Xwedê te biparêze, welleh em xwe sparte Xwedê û te sparte Xwedê û hêzê ku diparêzin... May God protect you, by God we surrendered ourselves to God and entrusted you to God and the forces that protect...
Û ava me jî sparte Xwedê, ji YPG'ê ra, ji YPJ'ê ra, ji hêzên Cewherî ra. And we also entrusted our water to God, to YPG, to YPJ, to the Self-Defense forces.
Ji Asayîşê ra, û ji her canê kar dike, xebatkar ra. To Asayish, and to every soul that works, to the workers.
Em giştan sipas dikin, Xwedê ji we razî be, em bi çavên we ra radibin. We thank everyone, may God be pleased with you, we stand up with your eyes.
Gelek spas dikim. Thank you very much.
Spas dikim heval. Xêra te hebe... tu ser çavên min, ser serê min. I thank you friend. May you have goodness... upon my eyes, upon my head.

Belê temaşevanên hêja, îro jî em li gundê Berkaşê ne. Yes dear viewers, today we are in the village of Berkash.
Em destpêkê jî, em spasîya dayîkan dikin. Wana jî xwestin stranan bi taybetî ê herêma Efrînê, yê vî gundî ji me re pêşkêş kin. First of all, we thank the mothers. They also wanted to present songs specifically of the Afrin region, of this village to us.
Em spasiya wan dikin. Lênêha jî em hatine ber sûkê. We thank them. And now we have come to the square.
Ji berê de dayîk têne ber vê sûkê, mürkût ... amade dikin. From the past, mothers come to this square, prepare the pestle...
Em niha bi dayîkan re qise bikin. Let's talk to the mothers now.
Saet a we xweş. Good job.
Dayê merhaba jîn û jiyara min Hello my life and living
Ev we çi çêdikrin? Xweş bû What were you making? It was nice
Dayê em destpêkê te nas bikin. Mother, let's get to know you first.
Ez Xebîbe me, qîza Muhemedî Baso me, ji gundê Kemarê. I am Xebibe, the daughter of Muhamed Baso, from the village of Kemar.
Sersava me. Tu bûka vî gundî ye? Welcome. Are you the bride of this village?
Bûka Emerê Elî kême. I am the bride of Emere Eli Kem.
Ser çava. Welcome.
Dayê niha em behsa sûkê bikin. Dema hûn dihatin vî gundî, ev sûk li vir bû? Mother, let's talk about the square now. When you came to this village, was this square here?
Erê, ew hebû. Berê jî bilxur dikutan, dan dikutan, nîsk dikutan, xelkê vir, her tişt dikutan. Yes, it was here. In the past, they pounded bulgur, pounded grain, pounded lentils, the people here, pounded everything.
Di sûkê de li her derê hebû, lê berê ev der vekirî bûn, niha hatine girtin. There were ones in the square everywhere, but these places used to be open, now they have been closed.
Mirovên me bilxur dikutan, danê xwe dikutan, di dema pêşî de ev tişt hebûn. Sûk hebû, derman jî hebû. Our people pounded bulgur, pounded grain, in the past these things existed. The square existed, and the medicine existed too.
Cem we gundê din tune bûn? Weren't there other villages around you?
Na, derman tunebûn. Pêşî derman tunebûn, mirov diçûn ba hev, mirov diçûn... ew derman dikirin. No, there were no medicines. In the past there were no medicines, people went to each other, people went... they made medicines.
Lê dema ku wan diêşiya, mirov diçûn ba bijîşk. But when they were in pain, people went to the doctor.
Heta niha hûn tên vî gundî sûkê? Do you still come to the market in this village?
Erê, em tên. Em pîvazên xwe tînin vir. Em pîvazên xwe dikutin, danên xwe dikutin, em nîskan dikutin, em şorbeyê dikin. Em tiştên din dikin, nîskan dikutin, nokan dikutin... Yes, we come. We bring our onions here. We pound our onions, pound our grain, we pound lentils, we make soup. We make other things, pound lentils, pound chickpeas...
Em danê xwe jî dikutin, em şorbeyê dikin. Tiştên me yên berê hebûn, wekî ku dibêjin "tokmak", kevirê sûkê, bilxurê dan. We pound our grain too, we make soup. We had our old things, like what they call "tokmak" (mallet), square stone, grain bulgur.
Ev stran jî wê demê dihate gotin? Was this song sung at that time too?
Erê. Stran, stran, berê dihatin gotin. Yes. Songs, songs, used to be sung.
Kî dizanîbû civat stranê gotî ye? Who knew that the community was singing the song?
Wele min nedizanîbû. By God, I didn't know.
Kes nizane? Nobody knows?
Belkî her tiştî re stranek hebe. Dema tu paleyî dikî stranek e, dema tu sûkê dikutî stranek e. Maybe there is a song for everything. When you are harvesting there is a song, when you are pounding in the square there is a song.
Ji her tiştî re stran heye. There is a song for everything.
Ma qey kesî berê stran dernedixistin? Was there no one composing songs back then?
Eger digotin, em negihîştin wê demê. Wê demê kal û pîrên me bûn. Even if they sang, we didn't reach that time. At that time it was our old men and women.
Dayê wina dê kîja derman çê dikirin? Mother, which medicines did they use to make?
Nexweşî... Nizanim, nizanim. Sickness... I don't know, I don't know.
Fota bilê da do e? Was a rag put on it?
Fota bilê da, nizanim wele. The rag put on it, I really don't know.
Kî berê dayika digot? Kîjan dayika digot l' gunda? Which mother used to say it? Which mother in the villages used to say it?
Wele nizanim... Mirin, hemî mirin... By God I don't know... They died, they all died...
Kî mirin? Navên xwe çibû? Who died? What were their names?
Nebiyê xûşkê, Fatê bilê bû. Prophet of sister, she was called Fate for saying it.
Çî digotin? Destar? Destar axîn? What were they saying? Destar? Destar axin?
... diyar e li ser nexweşiyê xwendiye. ... apparently she read over the sickness.
Ka ji me re bêje çi digotin. Tell us what they were saying.
Min nedigihişt wan tiştan. Ez gihiştimê min diyar dît wan gotinan dikir. Lê ez ji van xebatan re nizanim. I wasn't around for those things. I was around and I clearly saw them saying those words. But I don't know about these works.
Berê jinên me û kalên me bûn, ew kevirên wan dihatin bikaranîn. Em wan dikutin. Navê wan "toxmaq" e, sûk a keviran, danê bilxurê. In the past it was our women and our elders, those stones were used. We pound them. Their name is "toxmaq" (mallet), stone square, bulgur grain.
Her carek em diçin gundên, Ramadanan, wê jî eynî dayikek strana digot, go "Hum hum dan e, dan kutan e, dan bilxur e, sûk kevir e." Wê dayikê usa digot. Every time we go to villages, in Ramadan, there was also a mother singing, saying "Hum hum grain, pound the grain, grain is bulgur, square is stone." That mother was saying so.
Niha hûn ku demê dikutin tenê dikutin yan çawa dikin? Now when you pound, do you just pound or what do you do?
Jina cîran re heval dikutîn, jina cîran hevalên xwe didin kar. Lê em bi hevre kar dikin. Me tenê kar nedikir. We pound with the neighbor's wife, the neighbor's wife uses her friends. But we work together. We didn't work alone.
Em binihêrin çawa dikin, fermo kin. Kê bikutê ji we re? Yek ji we nabe alîkar? Çima çima, çawa diki baha? Alîkarîye me heye. Let's see how they do it, go ahead. Who will pound for you? Won't one of you help? Why why, how do you do it? We have help.
Destên we ne êşiyan? - Na na destên me na êşin... Did your hands not hurt? - No no, our hands do not hurt...
Em destan li binî datînin ser wî, û vî alî me li jorê datînin ser wî, ... We put the hands at the bottom on it, and this side we put it on top, ...
Dema hûn dan têne vir, têne vir, çi çêdikin pê re? When you bring grain here, bring it here, what do you make with it?
Berî ku bixebitin, pêşî em dikelînin. Bi kutayî tê çêkirin. Before working, we boil it first. It is made by pounding.
Dema ev çiqas demê we digire da ku hûn xilas bibin? How much time does this take you to finish?
Hinek satekî digire, nîv satekê jî heye. Em paqij dikin, û dixim di nav de. Em helînin paşê şorbeyê dikin. Sometimes it takes an hour, there is also half an hour. We clean it, and put it in. We melt it then make soup.
Xweşk e bi pîvaza re ti dikî. It's nice when you do it with onions.
Erê rê xine, paşê şorbê biki bîva zêde biki... Derbikin, Emê ra kin paşê emê rê kin, biçêvê biki. Yes, strain it, then make soup, add plenty of onions... Take it out, we'll store it, then we'll strain it, mix it.
Yane nîv saetê dixwazê? Sateke berxuda? Saet eke dest pê dixe na. You mean it takes half an hour? Takes an hour? It starts an hour, no.
Destên we sax bin. Bless your hands.
Bi çi rengî bû? Bi vî awayî we çêdikirin... danê xwe. What color was it? This is how you used to make it... your grain.
Ka em pirs kin... Te zû de tu li Ewropa bûn tu nû vegeriyaye? Let's ask... Have you been in Europe for a long time, are you newly returned?
Erê ez zû da le Europa bû, min hatime Efrînê gundê gundê xwe hatime wî, wî derfetê de min saet weş, ez wî hatime. Yes I was in Europe for a long time, I have come to Afrin to my village, with this opportunity, hello, I came to this.
Ji ber ku min pir hez kir ji bernameya we û min li televizyonê dît, min pir hez kir. Û ji wê rojê ku hat xanima min got eger hûn hazir bin dê min were. Because I really liked your program and I saw it on TV, I really liked it. And from the day the lady came and said if you are ready I will come.
Tu ji kû dere tê ji Ewrûpa? Where in Europe are you coming from?
Li Munchen. In Munich.
Munchen li Elmanyayê. Tu çend sal in li Ewropayê? Munich in Germany. How many years have you been in Europe?
Bi Xudê bi giştî teqrîben... Bi giştî nêzî 23, 24 sal min li Almanyayê dijî. Ev 25 sal... Qederê 25 sal em li Almanyayê mane. By God, generally roughly... I have been living in Germany for about 23, 24 years altogether. It's been 25 years... We've stayed in Germany for about 25 years.
Çi ferqa we navbera jiyana Ewrûpa û Efrînê yan ji Kurdistanê bi gîştî yan e gundê? What is the difference between life in Europe and Afrin, or Kurdistan in general, or the village?
Jiyana gund pir xweş e, ferqa wê ew e ku tu li nav milletê xwe dijî. Û gava tu li xerîbiyê dijî, jiyan zehmet e. Ew weke jiyana me nîne, ferqek gelek mezin heye. Village life is very nice, the difference is that you live among your own people. And when you live in a foreign land, life is difficult. It is not like our life, there is a very big difference.
Dema tu ji Ewropayê tu derketî, tu hatî vê deverê... Tu çawa dibînî van xebatan ku dayik dikin? When you left Europe, you came to this area... How do you see these works that mothers do?
Gelek baş e, û em wan parastin. Bas hawa, ev tiştan dirketî, û xwû pekin. Em sêr kirî, em pir ji dil dikin ku wî amade bibe, ez hatim bo programa we. It is very good, and we protected them. So, these things come out, and they try. We watched, we sincerely want it to be ready, I came for your program.
Gava ku te bernameya me didît tu digot ezê rojekî bibim mêvana we? When you watched our program, did you use to say that one day I will be your guest?
Erê.. erê min xwe pir hez dikir. Ji we re spas dikim, em hazir in. Wê derê çi dibe bila bibe. Yes.. yes I really liked it. Thank you, we are ready. Let whatever happens there happen.
Tu çend roja vegeriye? Çend rojin li virî tu çend rojin vegeriye tu çend roja hatî Afrînê? How many days have you returned? How many days are you here, how many days have you returned, how many days did you come to Afrin?
Ev du roj in ez hatime. Du roj ez hatime vir. It's been two days since I came. Two days I've been here.
Xêr hatî li nav gelê xwe. Welcome among your people.
Dema te paleyî dikir û van karên gundan dikir... We çawa alîkariya hev dikir? Dema hûn dan dikiutan... When you were harvesting and doing these village chores... How did you help each other? When you pounded grain...
Me... Me dan dikeliya... me bilxur dikeliya, me dan dikuta. Berî destpêkê dan me dikeliya, me dixebitî ew. We... We boiled grain... we boiled bulgur, we pounded grain. Before starting we boiled grain, we worked on it.
Em jî dibêjin mal ava bo we. Xudê quweta we nede! We also say thank you. May God give you strength!
Spas. Saeta we jî xweş, Xwedê ji we re razî be. Silav û hurmet. Thank you. Well done to you too, may God be pleased with you. Greetings and respect.
Spas. Thank you.
Hebû nebûyeke Emekê û Emerê Elîko ji mezin û rûspiyên gund bûn. Once upon a time, Emeke and Emere Eliko were among the elders and wise men of the village.
Hemû pirsgirêkên gund bi riya wan dihatin çareserkirin. All village problems were solved through them.
Û her weha gundê xwe ji mirovan jî diparastin. And they also protected their village from bad people.
Li bakurê gund çiyayê Qotê û gundê Kurzelê ta gundê Uqadîça. To the north of the village are Mount Qote and Kurzele village, up to Uqadicha village.
Li rojhilat zeviyên zeytûnan û gundê Bîbaka. To the east are olive groves and Bibaka village.
Li başûr geliyê sor, gaza Kewa û gundê Qota. To the south are the red valley, Kewa hill, and Qota village.
Li rojava geliyê sor û çiyayê Qotê. To the west are the red valley and Mount Qote.
Xelkên gund debara jiyana xwe, mîna hemû gundên derdorê bi çandiniyê, di asta yekemîn de dikin. The people of the village, like all surrounding villages, make their living primarily through farming.
Lê hin malbat di gel çandiniyê sewalên jî xwedî dikin. But some families also raise livestock alongside farming.
Hin xort û mêrên gund jî di kargehên cur bi cur li Bilbil û Efrînê de kar dikin. Some young and older men of the village also work in various workshops in Bilbil and Afrin.
Nêzî 60 xanî û derdora 1100 kes li gund dijîn. There are nearly 60 houses and around 1100 people living in the village.
Lê ji ber nebûna xizmetguzariyan, gelek kes koçberî derveyî gund bûne. However, due to the lack of services, many people have migrated out of the village.

Em wek gundê we, gundê Berkaşê û miletê we giştî li gund e yan kes ji we derketine derve? Like your village, Berkash, are all your people in the village or have some left?
Na li gund in, miletê me gişt li gund in, bes malbata Şeşê li vir... robî bûn, robî nedîtin, paşî derketin çûn. No they are in the village, our people are all in the village, but the Sheshe family here... they used to be day laborers, they didn't find labor, so they left.
Îdara wan nebû, çûn. Hinek çûn Helebê, hinek çûn kuderê... They had no income, so they left. Some went to Aleppo, some went elsewhere...

Anî, ev dibistanek gundê we... gundê Qotê nêzîk e jî. Meaning, a school for your village... Qote village is also close.
Gund e jî... me'nê mamoste xwedî bike, da derkeve me'nê bi pêş keve. It's a village too... meaning it needs to support teachers, so it can progress.

Erê vaye. Alright.
Ne bîna, bihar hatiye. Look, spring has arrived.
Ewe... Indeed...
Hûn çi derketine, em li ser vî çavîrî... hema hûn çi pencarê berhev dikin? Why have you gone out, on this greenery... what kind of herbs are you gathering?
Em hatine vir, li nava dundê, xweş e, em derketin pencarê diqetînin. We came here, around the village, it is nice, we went out picking herbs.
Êştek pencar e. Em paqij dikin. This is herbs. We clean them.
Êştek pencar e, wek dibêjin rind e, yanî xwarina pencar gelek vîtamîn e. This is herbs, as they say, it's good, meaning eating herbs provides lots of vitamins.
Yanî ji nexweşiyan re, ji êş û eleman re, ji qencbûnê re... I mean for diseases, for pains and aches, for healing...
Em zarokên xwe jî bi vî pencarî, ne em ser destê xwe hîn dikin. We also teach our children with these herbs, we train them by hand.
Yanî me ev tiştên hanê ji dêkên xwe, ji pîrên xwe, me ev tişta girtî. Em zarokan jî hîn dikin e. I mean we learned these things from our mothers, from our grandmothers, we acquired this. We teach the children too.
Yanî ne em bi xwe jî hîn in. I mean we are also knowledgeable ourselves.
Naxwe berê ji berê de we derketiye derve yan we deştên gundên din jî yê? So in the past, did you go out like this, or have you also been to the plains of other villages?
Na wile li dora me ye, em kuderê herin. No, by God, it's around us, where would we go?
Çiyayê me, beriya me heye. We have our mountains, our plains.
Li gundê xwe. In our own village.
Yanî gundên miletê Qotê, em pêşiya li gundê nêzîkî me ye, em pê re têtin v'derê. I mean the people of Qote village, we are near the village, we come here with them.
Xêr e li cem gundiyan têne. It is a blessing among the villagers.
Her tişt li gundê we heye? Is there everything in your village?
Erê wele. Cema ye, wek dibêjin yeyle ye, giha dibe, çavîrî heye, pencar lê heye... Yes, by God. It's a pasture, as they say it's a highland, grass grows, there is greenery, there are herbs in it...
E... hîşnahî yanî wek dibêjin gelek heye, behîv hene... Uh... greenery, I mean as they say there is a lot, there are almonds...
Em tiştekî j'te pirsin. Let me ask you something.
Ê we... Yes...
Na ev qufkên an wekî tiştên balkêş in, ev gundê we çi dikirin evên wisa? Now these stumps or these interesting things, what did your village do with them like this?
Welle evên darên tûyê ne. By God, those are mulberry trees.
A darên tûyê ne... me digirtin... Yes, they are mulberry trees... we used to take them...
Kes çênedikir. No one cultivated them.
Zanî kesî çênedikir. You know, no one cultivated them.
Kes çênake ji gundê we? Doesn't anyone make it from your village?
E hane le... Yeah, they go...
Kes çênedike ji gundê we? Doesn't anyone make it from your village?
Naxêr, kes çênake. No, no one makes it.
Êşte, salekê me ra kirin, em qîmetê zanebûn, paşê me dest pê kir em wan tiştan, em kivarkan berhev dikin. But, one year we picked them up, we knew their value, then we started doing those things, we gather the mushrooms.
Em diçin ber çiya, hildidin, em ji dêkên xwe û dapîrên xwe elimîn e. Vê kordiyê. We go to the mountain foot, collect them, we learned from our mothers and grandmothers. This Kurdish mushroom.
J'xte zehmetê, ev bûn kul û êş. Otherwise it is hard, these became pains and aches.
Kurdî... wek zêr e ji we re? The Kurdish one... is it like gold to you?
Erê zêr e, le her kesek nizanê çêke. Yes, it is gold, but not everyone knows how to make it.
Em tînin malê, dişon, hûr kin, dorin bidinê, rind, em rûn, xwê bidinê, tehsîn bikin... We bring it home, wash it, chop it, prepare it, nicely, we add oil, salt, to store it...
Ev we... Is this...
Ev we, we! Yes, exactly!
Her yek nizane çêke. Not everyone knows how to make it.
Her yek li vir nabî, ev nizanin bixwin nizane çêkê, yanî wek zêrê ye. Not everyone can find it here, they don't know how to eat it or make it, so it's like gold.
Derman e jî. It is also a medicine.
Her dermanek tê de heye. Every medicine is in it.
Ji êşekî pir re ye. It's for many pains.
Fêdê wê pir e. Its benefits are many.
Yanî mirov gerek e dema bihar tê gerek bixwe? Meaning people must eat it when spring comes?
Lên, gerek bixwe. Ê biharê dibe. Yes, they must eat it. It grows in spring.
Biharê nakok di xwarinê dike... tenê tu bi xwe bixwe yan tu hevalan jî bangî dikî bixwin, çêkî, tenê ne xwe... In the spring when cooking... you just eat it yourself or you invite friends to eat too, you make it, not just for yourself...
Ji bo tenduristiya mirov? For people's health?
Erê! Yes!
Nexweşî çi bin em... What diseases would we...
Fêdeyên wê pir in e! Its benefits are so many!
Kîjan nexweşî dibe? Which diseases does it treat?
Welle... nexweşiyan pir yanî fêde hene, pir... By God... there are many benefits for diseases, many...
Zêde ez nabêjim, nizanin. Bes dermanê wê fêdê xwe heye... I won't say more, I don't know exactly. But it does have its medicinal benefits...
Keçkê em tiştek j'te pirs bikin. Girl, let me ask you something.
Ne vaye demên pencêran... Look, in the times of the herbs...
Ne we got bi dehan... dema dayikên berê, mûnetê malê xwe giştî çêdikirin e, ji we derê dest pê dikirin. Yanî di dema payîzê de bixweş dikirin... Didn't you say dozens... back when the mothers of the past used to make their whole household provisions, they started from there. Meaning they prepared it pleasantly in autumn...
Dem a... her tiştekî de çêkirin... hûn weha jî çêdikin, yan hûn na? The time for... making everything... do you make it like that too, or not?
Lê em jî weha dikin. Me demên tişt dikir e, ha weha reş dikirin, hişk dikirin... Yes, we do it like that too. We used to do it during those times, yes like that, we blackened it, dried it...
Tiriyê dibe, tiriyê dibe dimis. Grapes become, grapes become molasses.
Ev bulxur e, ev birinc e... This is bulgur, this is rice...
Bulxur e, arîş e... Bulgur, coarse flour...
Naxê... hemû... em hîç, em sala dixwin, em giştan... Right... all of it... we eat it all year, we do everything...
Em dikelînin, derdixînin her tiştî dînin e. We boil them, bring them out, put everything.
Mast e... pênêr e, giştî se dihelin, em dikin... Yogurt... cheese, we let it all melt, we make it...
Yanî em pezî mexê li... îşta welle. So we don't buy sheep... here, by God.
Me wexta we teji. Vê ra... We take your time. Here...
Evî wek dayikê xwe dikin? Hûn mûnê xwe tiştî mûnê te ra dikin? Do you do it like your mothers? Do you make your provisions?
Erê em diçin zeytûna em berhev dikin. Yes, we go and gather the olives.
Em paşê ne derin em jê mûnê xwe digrin, em zeytûnê hişîn ra dikin. Then we bring them in, we get our provisions from them. We prepare the green olives.
Em dişkînin, em şêrîn dikin. Tak ra em atûn a ra dikin. We crush them, we sweeten them. We also prepare the black olives (atûn).
Me atûn a ra kir, şûnda hinek din em hênin mikellas a çê dikin. After we prepare the black olives, we bring some more and make 'mikellas'.
Ji mikellas a, em takra zeyt.. atûn a, bi zehter ê dîsa çêdikin. From 'mikellas', we prepare the black olives with thyme again.
Bi zeytûnî yanî. Paşê mûnê xwe yî din jî... With olives, that is. Then our other provisions...
Em takra derin mastê kemandî. Then we go to the strained yogurt.
Mastê kemandî em mûnê xwe çê dikin. Penîr çê dikin, rûn çê dikin. We make our provisions with strained yogurt. We make cheese, we make butter.
Em derin tînin tên vî ra dibên fîşek. We go and bring it, it is called a churn (fîşek).
Fîşek heye em dewê xwe pê dikêjin. We have a churn, we churn our ayran with it.
Em rûnê xwe yênikî ser da ra dikin. We take out a bit of our butter from it.
Em dikin hîçî... firaqekî xwe. We put it in one of our dishes.
Paşê ne em takra dihelînin wê jî dikin mûnê zivistanê ra dikin. Then we melt it again and prepare it as winter provisions.
Pê wana.. dikin şîv û dan a... yanî mufîd e, pir jê dibînin... yanî pir in ev tişt o. With those... we make our meals... it is beneficial, we get a lot out of it... there are a lot of these things.
Yanî hûn hewceyî bajar an a nabin? So you don't need the city?
Na elhemdulillah. No, thank God.
Hacet dikana, hertiştî we li cem we heye? You don't need the shops, you have everything with you?

E li ha dî, lê... Yes, right here, but...
Li kîderê dibe? Where does it grow?
Li kuderê ha na ciyê xwî gewir e. Where it grows, its place is rugged.
Cîyê marx lê heye. The place where there are juniper trees.
Cût pê nakevin, li wir dibe. The place where the plough doesn't reach, it grows there.
Li kîderê, cem we cîhekî kîderê wey a? Where is that place around here?
Cem me heye. Ovî vî bîbok a da, avada heye. We have it. It's in Bîbok, it's there.
Wê gavê hûn dema diçin, we çêdikin, hûn a..? So when you go, you prepare it yourselves and...?
Em diherin em jê dikin. We go and pick it.
Em tînin malê, em pak çê dikin, daxrênin jê, pelê qert lê jê dikin. We bring it home, we clean it, we remove the old leaves from it.
Me'niyê etûn a, me'niyê nefel e, în nefesê we ra raye hiş dikî, bizorota... For the olives, for the clover, it clears your breath, for herbal tea...
Em dikin zehterê hişk, we. Yanî yê hazir heye, em bi xwa çêdikin em xwa hişk dikin. We make dried thyme. I mean, there is ready-made, but we also make it ourselves, we dry it ourselves.

Em ê ar dîsa destpê bikin, zehterê hişîn, zuhrat e, çîçek e, giyan, gij ê bi rê ra vekin... We will start again, green thyme, herbal tea, flowers, herbs... any herb we find along the way...
Yanî, her wextî çi, em ji xwe ra na hêlin. I mean, whenever there is anything, we gather it for ourselves.
Rast e. True.
Em ne muhtacî kesî in. Em ne muhtacî bajar a ne. Yanî hîn bajar muhtacî me ye, em ne muhtacî kesî ne. We don't need anyone. We don't need the cities. Actually, the city needs us, we don't need anyone.
Rast e. Rast e. True. True.
Bes em xwe bîşînin. Em xwe rehet nekin. As long as we work hard. We shouldn't make ourselves too comfortable.
Erê rast e. Yes, that's right.
Erê wekî xwe rehet... tek xwe rehet nakî, ti muhtacî giyê nabe. Yes... as long as you don't relax too much, you won't need anyone.
Pez, pez te hebe. Tê ji giyê re... Tê penîrê xwe bigre, mastê xwe bigre, lebenê xwe bigre... If you have sheep. You can get... You can get your cheese, get your yogurt, get your strained yogurt...
hîn ber e di meşk ê xwe xebat dan. In the past, they used to work their churns.
Gulîk dikirin, u çerx hişk dikirin, u çê dikirin, nav zeytê u kuncî tê da reşandin. They made balls (of strained yogurt), and dried them, and they prepared them in oil, and sprinkled sesame seeds on them.
Û dikir dî nav wekî panîr digirtin dikir nav senê zeytê u di dîn a u dixwarin. And they put them... like cheese, they formed them, they put them in a tray of oil, and they stored them and ate them.
Panîr ji malê, lebenî ji malê, hewey gulîk dikirin ji malê, gişk pez. Cheese from the home, strained yogurt from the home, those balls they made were from the home... all from the sheep.
Ka em vê carê ji te dipirsin... ne em bêjin... ev a di destê te da te çi kirî ye? Let's ask you this time... rather than saying... what is that in your hand, what did you gather?
E min ez darzink u tûlik dibirim. I... I gathered 'darzink' and mallow.
Çî ye ew? What is that?
Tûlik, tûlik. Mallow, mallow.
Ka wele tam nîşanî me ke em jê bibînin. Show it to us fully so we can see.
Ev tûlik a. This is mallow.
Ev tûlik a? Is this mallow?
E ev tûlik e. Yes, this is mallow.
Bi wê çawa çêdikin hûn ê? How do you prepare this?
Adî, em hûr dikin, diqelînin u ba... Normally, we chop it, we fry it and then...
Bi zeyt ê çêdikin. We prepare it with olive oil.
Hûn çing tê ve didikin ye? What do you add into it?
E ya hêkê tavêjîye, ye hêkê dixîya, ya adî. You either add eggs into it, or you don't. Normally.
Wekî bi dims ê tara nakeve dims ê? Like with grape molasses, doesn't it go with molasses?
Na na ava bi dims ê çê nabe. No, no, this is not made with molasses.
Û ew cûkê ava jî çaqir e. And another type is 'çaqir' (a bitter herb).
Çaqir, bes ta'l e, tê bikelkî, tê kî ser zext kî. 'Çaqir', but it's bitter. You have to boil it, and press it a bit.
Evî jî dîsa tu diqelînî? Do you fry this one too?
E, tê barkelkî, ta wê ta'lî hare, tê biqelînî, barkelkî û tê ser zext kî. Yes, you boil it, so its bitterness goes away... you fry it. You boil it and press it a bit.
Tu zanî çiqas navê vê pancara heye? Do you know how many names there are for these herbs?
Navê pancara pir in. There are many names for herbs.
Kîja we ra bêjim yek bi yek? Which one should I tell you one by one?
Kîja ne? Which ones?
Yanî navê giya de heval pir in... welle. I mean, the names of the herbs are many, friend... by God.
Welle sûrik heye, kerbeş heye, lepkî kûçk ê heye, bîkmez ava heye... çaqir heye, tûlik heye, nankî çûka heye... pir in, navê xwa pir in. By God, there is 'sûrik', there is 'kerbeş', there is 'lepkî kûçkê', there is 'bîkmez ava'... there is 'çaqir', there is mallow, there is 'bird's bread'... there are many, their names are many.
Ev gi li vir dibin? Do all of these grow here?
Gişt vir dibin, erê. They all grow here, yes.
Ne wekî giştî berhev kin jê? Li hîna da gişt berhev nekiriye? You didn't gather all of them, there are still some you haven't gathered?
Na hîn me gişt berhev nekirîye. Her der ekî tiştek lê dibe. No, we haven't gathered everything yet. In each place, a different one grows.
Der heye sade tûlik e, der heye sade çaqir e, der heye sade bîkmez ava ye, der heye sade nankî çûk ê ye. There are places with only mallow. There are places with only 'çaqir'. There are places with only 'bîkmez ava'. There are places with only 'bird's bread'.
Ev a kî wî naçin in e, bi xwe dibe. These are not planted, they grow on their own.
Hm. Mmm...
Ev a gişt der û dora me dibin, em naçin li der û dur a. These all grow around us. We don't go that far.
Gişt li hewşa û dor a me u ser bîder a. Em dertên em dikin û em dibin dikin şîv, em dixwin. They are all in our yards and around us, on the threshing floors. We just go out and gather them, and we make them into meals, we eat them.
Mala we ava be, xwedê kêmaseya we nede. Seheta we xweş. Bless your house, may God not give you any lack. Bless your health.
We jî xwaş be, mala we ava be. Bless yours too, may your house be blessed.

Belê îro jî em li gundê Berkaş ê ne. Yes, today we are also in the village of Berkaş.
Em spasîya hunermend Hesen jî dikin. We also thank the artist Hesen.
Stranek dengbêjî ji me ra got. He sang a traditional dengbêj song for us.
Mala wî ava be. May his house be blessed.
Car a din, em dizivirin der û dor a me. Once again, we turn around to our surroundings.
Lê li vir jî, em gihîştin dawîya bernameyan ê. But here too, we have reached the end of the programs.
Bavekî sê hunermend a... Apê Mihemed. A father of three artists... Uncle Mihemed.
Em ê naha ji wî bipirsin... We will ask him now...
Ji dengê me û rengê gundê hunermend a. From our voice and the color of the artist village.
Bavkê hunermenda ye. Em ê naha ji te bipirsin Apê Mihemed... He is the father of artists. We will ask you now, Uncle Mihemed...
Merheba ji te ra. Hello to you.
Ser serê min, te xêr hatî, ehlen û sehlen û merheba ji te re jî. On my head, welcome, welcome and hello to you too.
Sax bî. Bless you.
Apê Mihemed tu jî stranbêjekî kevn î, te stran bêjî dikir. Uncle Mihemed, you are also an old singer, did you sing in the past?
Erê, di wextê tengiya da... Yes, during the difficult times...
Erê Romet te gotin em te jî guhdarî bikin. Yes Romet you spoke, let's listen to you too.
Apê Mihemed, ev dengbêjî ji we re ji ku hat? Uncle Mihemed, where did this dengbêjî come from for you?
Di malbata we de kê berê dengbêjî dikir? Who used to do dengbêjî in your family before?
Dayika min, Xwedê jê razî be. My mother, may God be pleased with her.
Destpêkê de me jî kêfa xwe dikir. In the beginning we were also enjoying ourselves.
Stranek bi dilê xwe, kêfa me dihat... A song from the heart, we were enjoying...
Naha wek ku te got, sê zarokên te Ebdû Mihemed, Hesen Mihemed û Reşîd Mihemed her sê jî stran digotin... Now as you said, your three children Ebdû Mihemed, Hesen Mihemed and Reşîd Mihemed all three sang songs...
Lê me bihîst, te digot berê bavê min jî stran digotin. But we heard, you said my father also used to sing songs before.
Dawetan, deran, dawetên me... bi stran... cemaetên me ne, stran digot. At weddings, outdoors, our weddings... with songs... our communities, he sang songs.
Te di dawetan de stran digotin? Did you sing songs at weddings?
Erê, erê. Yes, yes.
Wê demê te çi digot? Heman ew stran bûn, te stranên dildarî digotin? What did you sing at that time? Were they the same songs, did you sing love songs?
Stranên dema berê? Çi stran hebûn wê çaxê? Songs from the old times? What songs were there at that time?
Stranên wê çaxê. Wê çaxê... tiştên weha. Songs of that time. That time... things like that.
Çi bûn, weha wek minak tu bikarî yekê bibêjî? What were they, like an example could you say one?
Te digot, "Gula zera bî", "Ax lê na na di me bî"... "Yemê Yemê Yemana bî"... Wisa. You used to say, "Be the yellow rose", "Ah no no be in us"... "Yemê Yemê it was Yeman"... Like that.
Di wê demê de wek hunermend an jî dengbêj, kî hevalên te bûn, yanî têkiliyên te bi kê re hebûn? At that time as an artist or dengbêj, who were your friends, meaning who did you have connections with?
Bi bavê Elî yê rehmetî re ez digeriyam... Mihemed Elî Tico ra, Cemîl Horo ra, Nûrî Şêxo... I used to travel with the late father of Ali... With Mihemed Ali Tico, with Cemil Horo, Nuri Şêxo...
Rehma Xwedê li wan be. Ew jî... Apê me Bavê Mesûd ra. May God's mercy be upon them. He too... With our uncle Bavê Mesûd.
Apê Mihemed, weha te behsa dengbêjan kir. Em a dawetan jî bi we re axivîn. Uncle Mihemed, you talked about dengbêjs. We also talked about weddings with you.
Kîjan dawet dema xweştir bû? Berê xweştir bûn yan jî dema niha? Which wedding time was better? Were the past ones better or the current time?
Dawetên berê tiştekî din bûn. Rûtî û şiltî û ... xatir û rêz, jin xilas nedibûn. The weddings of the past were something else. Bareness and dampness and... respect and honor, women didn't finish.
Te gundek hemû, ser nîvî dihat. You had a whole village, half of them came.
Hatin dawetê jî ew jî... Tu diçûyî, cihê mirov ku lê rûne nedihat dîtin. Coming to the wedding too that too... You would go, a place for a person to sit couldn't be found.
Xwe didan paş, xwarin digirtin... Ev... xwarin dianîn... yek bi defa xwe, bi tiştên xwe dianîn, sivik, sêre, di nava de, dinivîsîn. They stepped back, took food... This... they brought food... one with their drum, with their things they brought, light, magic, in between, they wrote.
Apê Mihemed niha wek ku hûn tên naskirin, malbata Şeşe. Uncle Mihemed now as you are known, the Şeşe family.
Ev nav ji ku hatiye? Where did this name come from?
Ev nav, bavê min, debra xwe bûn. Û apê min Hamê rehma xwedê lê be. Pêçiyek wî di bin şeş pêçiyan de. This name, my father, was their past. And my uncle Hamê may God have mercy on him. One of his fingers under six fingers.
Ji ber wilo pê hatiye. Dibên şeş pêçiye ye. Ji vir hatiye nav. Şeş pêçiyên wî hebûn loma digotin. Yek jî qut kirin. Because of that it came. They say he has six fingers. The name came from here. He had six fingers that's why they said it. They cut off one.
Nav loma "Mala Şeşê". Û heta niha jî "Mala Şeşê". Bes pirsî "Ev ki ye?", "Apê min Şêxe ye, apê min wa ye..." That's why the name is "Mala Şeşê" (House of Six). And even now it's "Mala Şeşê". Just asking "Who is this?", "He's my uncle Şêx, my uncle is like this..."
Yanî şeş tiliyên wî hebûn? Ji ber wilo wek mala şeşê tê naskirin. Meaning he had six fingers? Because of that it's known as the house of six.
Em gelek spasiya te dikin. Mamoste Hesen em hin tiştan ji te bipirsin. We thank you very much. Teacher Hesen let's ask you some things.
Mamoste Hesen ji ber ku malbatek gundî ne û bi tevahî stranê dibêjin, Teacher Hesen since you are a village family and altogether sing the song,
Wa çawa ev berhev kirin, û derbas kir? How did you all collect this, and pass it down?
Hevalê Şerîf bi rastî ez bikarim tiştekî bêjim, ewqas di malbatê de û di jiyana me de beriya ku em dest bi hunerê bikin jî, Friend Şerîf truly if I could say something, so much in the family and in our life even before we started art,
Saz, bêtir di malê de hebû. Yanî def bû, tembûr bû em difikirîn, birayê min Evdî ew saz dikir, beriya min. Saz, was mostly in the house. Meaning it was a drum, it was a tembûr we thought, my brother Evdî used to play it, before me.
Pê re ez jî hîn bûm. Saz ku lêdixist di malê de... di malê de bi tevan bavê min bi saetan ji me re stranên digotin. After him I also learned. When playing the saz in the house... in the house together my father sang songs to us for hours.
Meseleya hunerê jî birayê min Evdûlmehemmed, The issue of art too my brother Evdûlmehemmed,
Silavê me ji wî re heye gundê barkaşê, ji malbatan û gundiyan, wî bi wan re stran didan ev her mal, em wan guhdarî dikin. Our greetings go to him in the village of barkaş, from families and villagers, he sang songs with them this every house, we listen to them.
Piştre bêtir wek hezkirinek çêbû... û bi birayê min Evdû re dest pê kir û piştre bi min re, Then it happened more like a passion... and started with my brother Evdû and then with me,
Û demê di mala min de birayê min mamoste Reşîd Mihemed... birayê min ê piçûk e.. And the time in my house my brother teacher Reşîd Mihemed... is my little brother..
Ev bandora me ji bo hunerê bêtir şevbihêrkên me yî li malê bi wan rengan derbas dibûn.. This influence of ours for art more our evening gatherings at home passed in those colors..
Têkiliyên me jî e, hunermendê nemir Mihemed Elî Tico.. Şevbihêrk li derên wan pir çêdibûn.. Our connections too uh, the immortal artist Mihemed Elî Tico.. Evening gatherings happened a lot at their places..
Şevbihêrk... Evening gathering...
Ev bandora Mihemed Elî Tico bû. Ger gotineke din hebe? This was the influence of Mihemed Ali Tico. If there is another word?
Bêguman ji gundê Barkaşê re... Certainly to the village of Barkaş...
Silav û rêzê me ji navê kurdaxê heye her mirovekî ku me temaşe dikir... guh dide me, temaşe dike... We have greetings and respect from the name of kurdax to every person who was watching us... listens to us, watches...
Silav û rêzên me ji wan re... Ev derfeta ku çêbûye li vî bernameyê we re, axa welat.. Our greetings and respects to them... This opportunity that has arisen at this program of yours, axa welat..
Bera rastî em gelek spas dikin... Em gellek firsend didin we û malbata we jî. Lê tiştekî bal dikşîne... Truly we thank you very much... We give a lot of opportunity to you and your family too. But an interesting thing catches attention...
Li axa welat de, bêtir em vegeriyan nav milet... Ji xwe re dît... In the homeland, mostly we returned among the nation... Found for oneself...
Bi rastî em wek zarokê Efrînê, taybetmendiya pir gundan heta niha nizanî. Min xwe nedîtibû lê... Truly we as children of Afrin, didn't know the specialty of many villages until now. I hadn't seen myself but...
Di bernameyên we de em gihîştin wê qenatê ku em dikarin bînin der... In your programs we reached that conviction that we can bring it out...
Urf û adetên gundê Kêla qet min nizanî... Ji bêtir di her gundekî dîrok û gundê tiştek nas dikir û min didît... The traditions and customs of Kela village I never knew... From more in every village history and the village recognized something and I saw...
Mirovên navsere, mirovên kal jî axa welat de dikarin bi ser dîroka xwe biaxivin... Bidin axaftin.. Middle-aged people, old people too in the homeland can speak about their history... Let them speak..
Yanî dîroka wê gundê çi ye? Ev ji bo wan derfet e... Ev yek cihekî vala ez pê dizanim di miletê me de. Valahiyek tijî kir... Meaning what is the history of that village? This is an opportunity for them... This one is an empty place I know in our nation. It filled a gap...
Ji wan bêtir... Wek mirov xwe dinase... bêtir divê miletê xwe dinase, taybetmendiya her gundî nas dike... More than them... As a person knows themselves... mostly needs to know their nation, knows the specialty of every village...
Em di pêş de vê kêmasiyê radikin... Em dema zanibin dîrokek wisa, feyde dikin... We advance this deficiency... When we know such a history, we benefit...
Heman demê ez dema ji flan miletî me û dîroka miletê xwe nizanibim, gundê xwe nizanibim.. At the same time when I am from such a nation and don't know the history of my nation, don't know my village..
Yanî ji flan pêkhateyê, wek kurd, ereb, an jî tirkmen û çerkes be... Meaning from such component, like Kurd, Arab, or Turkmen and Circassian...
Her tim bangawaziyek mezin... Mafê her mirovî ye ku dîroka gundê xwe, adetê xwe bîne ziman... Yanî mirov mezin e.. Always a big call... It's every person's right to bring their village's history, their custom to tongue... Meaning a person is great..
Dema dipirse ji xwe re dibêje çi weha ye? Wê çawa bikin? Ev dîroka wa.. Wek berê... Malbat çî ye, gundê barkaşê nas dikin.. When asking they say to themselves what is like this? How will they do it? This history of theirs.. Like before... What is family, they know barkaş village..
Wek dîrok em gund çî ye? As history what is our village?
Kilamek, ya 'Ûrfê bêjin.. A song, of 'Ûrfê let's say..
Em jî spasiya we dikin, ê xatirê xwe ji we bixwazin. We also thank you, uh will request to take our leave of you.
Belê belê, her tişt destpêkek heye û dawiyek heye. Lê tişta herî baş ewe ye, ew e têkiliyê gundan, ew çanda xwezayî li vir. Yes yes, everything has a beginning and an end. But the best thing is that, that is the village relations, that natural culture here.
Û em gihan dawiya bernameya xwe, gundê barkaşê an jî ev hefte gundek din... And we reached the end of our program, Barkaş village or this week another village...
Hunermendên me... Hesen Mihemed û Reşîd Mihemed û... zurnevanê me Mustefa û... defvanê me Ehmed re.. Spasiya wan dikin, xatirê we. Our artists... Hesen Mihemed and Reşîd Mihemed and... our zurna player Mustefa and... our drum player Ehmed with.. We thank them, goodbye.
