Izgrev/Var 2

1 (VZh) [When did you do threshing?]

2 (b) [0:01] When we threshed at the threshing floor, we waited for the sea wind to finish [the job].

3 (b) [0:06] We start to winnow it, but we wait for the sea wind to start blowing

4 (b) [0:08] so we could finish winnowing. The sea wind blows hard, you know,

5 (b) [0:12] and carries the chaff to this [side] and the grain on the other side.

6 (b) [0:15] And that’s how we do it.

7 (VZh) [How do you begin the work day?]

8 (b) [0:17] When we get up in the morning, we rush about, we do this, we do that,

9 (b) [0:20] we hurry to go out to the field. All day long we dig,

10 (b) [0:23] or else we reap, and when noontime comes we sit down,

11 (b) [0:28] eat, lie down, rest a bit, then we get up again, come back again

12 (b) [0:31] come back again to the house, work more – [It’s] unremitting, there’s no –

13 (b) [0:36] we can’t get our strength back any more from [all that] work.

14 (b) [0:41] We joined the collective farm to make it easier, but it ended up more difficult. Much harder! [laughter]

eat, lie down, rest a bit, then we get up again, come back again
