Li Çiyayê Qîbê, li binara çîyayekî bilind bi navê çiyayê Açolo, gundê Soriya hatiye avakirin. On Mount Qibê, at the foothills of a high mountain named Mount Acholo, the village of Sariya was built.
Ew girêdayî navçeya Mabeta ya kantona Efrînê, 6 kîlometreyan li bakurê bajarokê Mabeta û 27 kîlometreyan li bakurê rojhilatê bajarê Efrînê dikeve. It is connected to the Mabeta district of the Afrin canton, located 6 kilometers north of the town of Mabeta and 27 kilometers northeast of the city of Afrin.
Navê gund ji peyva Soro hatiye. The name of the village comes from the word "Soro" (Red).
Ew jî nasnavê kesê yekemîn li gund niştecih bûye. This was the nickname of the first person who settled in the village.
Jiber ku ew kesekî boz bû, nav lê hate kirin. Because he was a fair-skinned/blonde person, he was given this name.
Herwiha Sariyê bi Tirkî tê wateya boz. Furthermore, "Sari" in Turkish means blonde/yellow.
Hêjayî gotinê ye, ku gundek bi heman navî nêzî Meletiyê bi navê Sarî Mehele heye. It is worth mentioning that there is a village with the same name near Malatya called Sari Mahalle.
Her wekî gundî diyar dikin, girêdanek civakî di navbera herdû gundan de heye. Just as the villagers state, there is a social connection between the two villages.
Yekemîn kes li gundê niştecih bûye Soro bû, û piştre goreyî Osman, ango Oso, gund şên kir. The first person to settle in the village was Soro, and afterwards, according to Osman, or Oso, he populated the village.
Û ew jî ji eşîra Şêxan e. And he is from the Sheikhan tribe.
Piştî wan malbatên din jî hatin li gundê niştecih bûn. After them, other families also came and settled in the village.
Hêjayî pêrxistinê ye ku Soro û Ala birayê hev bûn. It is worth highlighting that Soro and Ala were brothers.
Ala li Mabetê niştecih bû, û Soro jî li gundê Soriya. Ala settled in Mabeta, and Soro in the village of Sariya.
Belê temaşevanên hêja, niha jî li gundê Soriya em digerin. Yes, dear viewers, we are now touring the village of Sariya.
Bi meraq e, em derbasî cîhan dîrokî bin, cîhan ema sed salan. Interestingly, we are entering historical places, places of a hundred years.

Ev êsinê tenê bû, kevir bû. This was just a mill, it was stone.
Darkî qox dikir binî. They put a wooden beam underneath.
Dar, hewa qox dikir kevir. Wood, that beam held the stone.

Hew jî qedîm e. That one is also ancient.

No, no, li mal çêkiribû. Li mal da çêkiribû. No, no, he built it at home. He built it inside the house.
Berî ma'sera zeytûna çêke, ma'sera tirî çêkiribû wî. Before building the olive press, he had built a grape press.
Wî ma'sera tirî çêkiribû. He had built a grape press.
Jiber ku, niha çiyayê Kurmênc, berê hemî tirî bûn. Because, now looking at Kurd-Dagh (Mountain of the Kurds), in the past it was all grapes.
Tirî bûn. Erê. It was grapes. Yes.
Yanî rez bûn. Meaning they were vineyards.
Rez bî. Hîn wî çi dikir, wî... It was vineyards. Then what did he do, he...

Paşê, paşê rezê xirab bibin, şûna rezan zeytûn çandin. Later, later the vineyards got ruined, they planted olives in place of the vineyards.
Doxa zeytûn pir bûn, ma'ser çê kirin. When the olives became plentiful, they built the press.
Ma'ser çê kirin. Û wî ma'ser çê kir, heta... noka hevalê Cemîl hewa li da, ew zeytê tal dîsa digerandin. They built the press. And he built the press, until... now friend Jamil is over there, they used to process the bitter oil again.

Em noka zeytûnê xwe her hinek dibin derke. Hinek dibin mekbezo Kurko, em hinek dibin Olkano, hinek dibin gundî Xelîl. Her hinek bidereke da dibin. We now take our olives each to a different place. Some take to the Kurko press, some take to Olkano, some take to Khalil village. Each take them somewhere.
Yanî herî destpêkê ma'ser vekî vîn bûn, niha jî vê mekbezê ne. Meaning at the very beginning the presses were like these, now they are these (modern) press houses.
Em noka jî em vê... mekbezê nû... wek dibînin. We now see this... new press house... as we see.
Lê destpêkê da ma'ser êd me hebûn... Xelîl Hecî hebû, ê mala Heskelekê hebî... noka jî em bi xwe... vê ma'serê ne, vê mekbezê ne. But in the beginning we had these presses... there was Khalil Haji's, there was the Heskelek family's... now we are ourselves... at this press, at this press house.

No, no ne dihatin. No, no they didn't come.
Bes yê vî gundî tenê diêrandin. They only ground this village's ones.
Xwediyê ma'serê, salekê... sed çowal zeytûnî xwe xera bî çêkir ser çûpê. Doba tune bû. The owner of the press, one year... a hundred sacks of his olives spoiled, he made them on the mat/press. There was no queue/storage.
Zeytûnê vî gundî tenê diêrandin. They only ground this village's olives.
Ê di wê demê da kareba hebû? Eh, was there electricity in that time?

Bidayet, teben, hiwaye bû... û çiqas bigere, li welat da çiqas here, were, tiqî biftirî va axê. In the beginning, naturally, it was a hobby... and no matter how much one travels, no matter how much one goes back and forth in the country, one eventually returns to this soil.
Fê berî vê jî em rehal e bûn, mesela hew lewha, ê gundê me ye. Berî vê şêst sala me çêkir. So before this we were travelers, for example this painting, it is of our village. I made it sixty years ago.

Lê berî şoreşê, gundê me ye, bîra me hat. Axan me bîra me hat, welatê me bîra me hat, em vegeriyan hatin gund, me sîfetê gund çêkir. Yes before the revolution, it is our village, we remembered it. We remembered our soil, we remembered our country, we returned to the village, and I painted the image of the village.
Te go di 1985an te dest bi vê karî kir? Li kuderi bû? Di gund bû yan li bajêr bû? You said you started this work in 1985? Where was it? Was it in the village or in the city?

So where did this interest of yours come from? Welle ez zarok bûm mera hebu ev meraqa, yanî... min hez dikir resem.
So where did this interest of yours come from? Well, I was a child when I had this interest... I loved drawing.
E ka ew hezkirinê te ji meraqa te çawa ji hez kir? Yan dema te tiştek didî, te dixwast te meraq dikir te çêbiki? Lê hinekan li pêşiya te çêdikir? How did that love, that interest of yours, begin? Or when you saw something, did you want to, were you curious to create it? Or did others create it in front of you?
Na, min dxwast... ma şair hene, ji xemê xêra lewhek rabikim xuya bikim yanî. No, I wanted... just like there are poets, out of sadness or goodness, to raise a painting, to manifest it.
Te destpêkê te çi çêkir? What did you make at the beginning?

Niha jî em derbasî mala helbestvanê me yê hêja bûn, Bavê Ceng. Now we have entered the home of our dear poet, Bavê Ceng.
Em spasiya wî dikin, helbestek pir xweş ji me ra got li ser herêma Efrînê, dîroka Efrînê ji me ra şirove kir. We thank him, he recited a very beautiful poem for us about the Afrin region, and explained the history of Afrin to us.

Dema bi rastî a ma em derbasî gunda dibin, derbas dibin gund bi gund têne, a ma tu dinêrî ciyên dîrokî tê de hene. When indeed we pass through the villages, pass through coming village by village, you look and there are historical places in them.
Te jî gelek di helbesta xwe de gelek bahsa ciyên dîrokî kir. You also talked a lot about historical places in your poem.
Yanî tu kanî hindik ji me ra li ser Efrînê baxivî. Meaning, can you speak a little to us about Afrin.
Bixwe dîroka Efrînê, yanî warê Efrînê, ew ciyê Efrînê pir cîkî girîng bû di dîrokê de. In itself the history of Afrin, meaning the land of Afrin, that place of Afrin was a very important place in history.
Çiqas şer û ceng bûn, divê derê ra derbas bûn yanî. However many wars and battles there were, they passed through this place.
Di vê derê de jî va navçeya va, yanî herêma, herêmekî dar û berê xwe pir e û ava xwe pir e. And in this place, this district, meaning the region, is a region with many trees and fruits and plenty of water.
Û yanî ewkî xwa, heyamkî xwa, baştirîn Kurdistanê giştkî heye yanî. And meaning its own... its climate, it has the best of all Kurdistan.
Pir, wek niha me gotî di helbestê de, pir axayên xelkê ceribandine vê derê bi dest bixin... Many, as we just said in the poem, many foreign aghas tried to conquer this place...
...lê hemû Kurdan berxwedanî kir û tu kesî nikanî li ser bisekinî yan bistan (bistînin) yanî. ...but all Kurds resisted and no one could stay on it or take it.
Mamoste tu helbesta ji kengî da dinivîsînî? Teacher, since when have you been writing poetry?
Welle helbest teqrîben nêzîkî sî salî ye ez dinivîsînim. Well, poetry, it is approximately close to thirty years that I have been writing.
Di vê şoreşê de te helbest dane hunermenda yan na? In this revolution, have you given poems to artists or not?
E pir helbest min dane yanî dengbêja, distirên, niha di şoreşê de distirên yanî. Yes, I have given many poems, meaning to bards, they sing, now in the revolution they sing.
Yekek hunermend in, Efrînê têt (tê de) distirên yanî. Some are artists, in Afrin they come and sing.
Yek ji wan a "Welato Baxçe û Gul". One of them is "Oh Homeland, Garden and Rose".
Ew ya li ser şehîdê de? That one about the martyr?
E li ser şehîdê de, ew e... Çiyayê Lêlûn e. Yes on the martyr, it is... Mount Lelun.
Şêrewa. Sherawa.
Welato ta baxçe û gul. Homeland you are a garden and rose.
Dema Şehîd Sûlava şehîd ketiye? When Martyr Sulava fell martyr?
E, dema Sûlav, ser Sûlavê jî min nivîsandî... Yes, when Sulav, on Sulav I also wrote...
...ser Piling min nivîsandî. ...on Piling I wrote.
Ser Arîn Mîrkan, ser... On Arin Mirkan, on...
Yanî di vê şoreşê te gelek helbest nivîsandine, te dane gelek hunermenda, koma, te dane wana. Meaning in this revolution you wrote many poems, you gave them to many artists, groups, you gave to them.
Ser Sakîne, Sakîne Cansiz û Leyla Şaylemez û Fîdan Dogan ser wan. On Sakine, Sakine Cansiz and Leyla Saylemez and Fidan Dogan, on them.
Kesî gotiye ew strana? Has anyone sung that song?
Na, hîn kesî negotiye ew strana. No, no one has sung that song yet.
Mamoste niha çiqas helbestên te hene, çiqas dîwanên te hene, helbest yanî? Teacher, now how many poems do you have, how many diwans (collections) do you have, poems meaning?
Welle du dîwan min çêkirine. Well, I have made two collections.
Yek navê xwe 'Ceng û Evîn'. One is named 'War and Love'.
Di kîjan demê de te çêkir? In what time did you create it?
Hema di du hezar û duduyê de min çêkir. I made it just in two thousand and two.
Du hezar û dudu? Çardeh sal ne? Two thousand and two? Fourteen years, right?

Ew din jî dibin çape da ye, min çêkirî bes dibin çape da ye noka (niha) hebe jî. The other one is also under printing, I made it but it is under printing now even if it exists.
Ew jî 'Şoreş û Evîn'. That one is 'Revolution and Love'.
Yek 'Ceng û Evîn', yek 'Şoreş û Evîn'. One 'War and Love', one 'Revolution and Love'.
Evê din çi ye? What is this other one?
Hava jî alîfbayê kurdî ye. This one is the Kurdish alphabet.
Tîpên Kurdî. Kurdish letters.
Hava tîpên Kurdî, hava alîfbayê kurdî ye. These are Kurdish letters, this is the Kurdish alphabet.
Hava me jimêj çêkiriye, di nod û sisiyê da me çêkiriye. Min û hevalê xwe, navê xwe Şukrî bû. We made this long ago, in ninety-three we made it. Me and my friend, his name was Shukri.
Min û wî va me çêkiriye, du ciz in. Me and him, we made this, there are two parts.
E pir bela bûye, yanî alfabeya Kurdî, abeya Kurdî hava me çêkiriye. Yes it was distributed a lot, meaning the Kurdish alphabet, the Kurdish ABC, this we made.
Di wê demê de we çawa çêkirin? Yan di demê berî şoreşê zahmetî... At that time how did you make it? Or in the time before the revolution, difficulties...
Ê, wek me xwest, yanî em rola xwe û çandî rabin pê çaxê. Yes, as we wanted, meaning we assume our cultural role at that time.
Me xwest em rola xwe û çandî, wek bi kelek şoreşê de em wek dibêjin şoreşek çandî em çêkin. We wanted our cultural role, like in a boat of revolution, as they say, we make a cultural revolution.
Lê enê şoreşê çekî tinnebû, me xwest em şoreşek çandî çêkin. But there was no armed revolution, we wanted to make a cultural revolution.
Milettê xwe, gelê xwe, hişyar bikin. To awaken our nation, our people.
Ev çend sal e hûn di şoreşê de ne? How many years have you been in the revolution?
E, teb'en. Yes, of course.
Gotina te ya dawî çi ye ji bo şoreşê? What is your final word for the revolution?
Ez hêvîdar im çandevan bi erkê xwe û netewî rabin, û ez pir spasiya we dikim. I hope cultural workers will assume their national duty, and I thank you very much.
