0:01:37 > 0:01:38LAUGHTER
0:05:46 > 0:05:47THEY LAUGH
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Just calm, just relax.
0:06:31 > 0:06:32Stay on your boat.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58So, tell me a little bit about your life back in Syria.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00What was your daily routine like?
0:07:00 > 0:07:04We used to go on weekends, like, to the park,
0:07:04 > 0:07:07some restaurants - during the war, even,
0:07:07 > 0:07:10I couldn't take the children for a wee walk or anything,
0:07:10 > 0:07:12so we stay home.
0:07:12 > 0:07:13Then everything used to change -
0:07:13 > 0:07:17especially the prices getting very expensive,
0:07:17 > 0:07:23like your ordinary things, like water, food, milk for the children.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27So, tell me about the decision that you made to leave Syria.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31From the early morning, they were bombing outside.
0:07:31 > 0:07:36Very, very big bombs were outside, and my husband was in his surgery,
0:07:36 > 0:07:39and I phoned him and said, "Please come back,"
0:07:39 > 0:07:41but when he came back, at night-time,
0:07:41 > 0:07:43I said, "No more. We leave."
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Ihsan, tell me a little bit about what you remember
0:07:45 > 0:07:47about that fateful day.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49You don't think clearly, that day, and...
0:07:49 > 0:07:54but we had to leave, like, everything was so fast,
0:07:54 > 0:07:58and...we didn't think clearly, but we had to leave,
0:07:58 > 0:07:59and it was in a rush,
0:07:59 > 0:08:03so we didn't take everything we needed, but we went anyway.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Have you been able to keep in touch with your family
0:08:06 > 0:08:08using modern communications?
0:08:08 > 0:08:11Yeah, usually through WhatsApp or Viber,
0:08:11 > 0:08:14we used to communicate with them,
0:08:14 > 0:08:18but in general the internet in Syria was not that good,
0:08:18 > 0:08:21and when the problems started, it's even worse,
0:08:21 > 0:08:24so the internet could go out for weeks
0:08:24 > 0:08:29and, like, if someone is injured or...you basically can't know.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32SHE SPEAKS OWN LANGUAGE
0:08:32 > 0:08:36What goes through your head when you see Syria on the evening news?
0:08:36 > 0:08:39I used to wish that my country will be on TV, like, for a while,
0:08:39 > 0:08:42like, for something nice like, let's say, a sport event,
0:08:42 > 0:08:45scientific achievement - not in terms of war.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43I'm worried about their situation - still dangerous,
0:12:43 > 0:12:45still very hard conditions in Syria.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Yeah, we're still worried about them,
0:12:47 > 0:12:51and hope everything is getting better for them.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54People there made the place, and, like, most of the people there,
0:12:54 > 0:12:57my friends, are in Germany, and if I would go there,
0:12:57 > 0:13:01I would just go there and see my family, and aunts,
0:13:01 > 0:13:03and see how they are doing -
0:13:03 > 0:13:07but, as for a life, my life started here.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56# Helping the kids out of their coats
0:17:56 > 0:17:59# But wait, the babies haven't been born... #
0:18:05 > 0:18:08# Unpacking the bags and setting up... #
0:19:58 > 0:20:02At that point, Grandma came striding into the yard.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05From an enormous height she glared down
0:20:05 > 0:20:08at the three people below her and shouted...
0:20:08 > 0:20:10What's going on round here?
0:20:10 > 0:20:13Why hasn't anyone brought me my morning cup of tea?!
0:20:13 > 0:20:15It's bad enough having...
0:20:50 > 0:20:52- What happened?- Where are we?
0:20:52 > 0:20:55But this is impossible!
0:20:55 > 0:20:57- Unbelievable.- Terrible.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31ALL SPEAK AT ONCE
0:23:46 > 0:23:48APPLAUSE
0:24:06 > 0:24:10# Eight o'clock I'm here again
0:24:10 > 0:24:13# He holds the door like a gentleman
0:24:13 > 0:24:17# But while we're driving round the coast
0:24:17 > 0:24:20# At every bend I see your ghost
0:24:20 > 0:24:24# Tears in the knees of his blue jeans
0:24:24 > 0:24:27# He bites his lip when he smiles at me
0:24:27 > 0:24:31# Knuckles white against the wheel
0:24:31 > 0:24:34# I'm not sure how I'm supposed to feel
0:24:34 > 0:24:38# He puts his arms around my waist
0:24:38 > 0:24:42# I know that I should set him straight
0:24:42 > 0:24:45# Cos when his hands are on my hips
0:24:45 > 0:24:49# It's your name that's on my lips
0:24:49 > 0:24:52# And I waited
0:24:52 > 0:24:56# I waited seconds, minutes, hours
0:24:56 > 0:24:57# I waited
0:24:59 > 0:25:04# Waited for the words to lose their power
0:25:18 > 0:25:21# He took me home after the band
0:25:21 > 0:25:25# I meant to tell him where I stand
0:25:25 > 0:25:28# But I remember you're with her
0:25:28 > 0:25:32# And then the edges start to blur
0:25:32 > 0:25:36# And he suggested that I stay
0:25:36 > 0:25:39# Words I never heard you say
0:25:39 > 0:25:42# I couldn't bear to be alone
0:25:42 > 0:25:46# It's your own fault, you let me go
0:25:46 > 0:25:50# I can't help but wonder if you mind
0:25:50 > 0:25:52# We sit so close
0:25:52 > 0:25:53# His eyes on mine
0:25:53 > 0:25:57# Make me forget he did me wrong
0:25:57 > 0:26:01# Make me forget he's even gone
0:26:01 > 0:26:03# And I waited
0:26:04 > 0:26:07# I waited weeks and months and years
0:26:07 > 0:26:11# I waited
0:26:11 > 0:26:15# And on the day I left you showed up here
0:26:29 > 0:26:33# I wish you'd come in
0:26:33 > 0:26:36# Snatched me up and stole a kiss
0:26:36 > 0:26:38# But I'm with him
0:26:40 > 0:26:44# And you're with her and that's how it is
0:26:50 > 0:26:52# I waited
0:26:54 > 0:26:58# I waited weeks and months and years
0:26:58 > 0:27:01# I waited
0:27:01 > 0:27:05# And on the day I left you showed up here. #
