Xelyunka, xêyîl bibe parçê jêr û parçê gaze... Xelyunka, imagine it becomes the lower part and the ridge part...
Ê parçe wekî xaret paşxet dibêjin. The parts are what they call "xaret" (quarters/neighborhoods).
Xaret? Quarters?
Xaret. Ewa xareta jêr e, ewa xareta gaze ye, ewa xareta jor e. Quarters. That is the lower quarter, that is the ridge quarter, that is the upper quarter.
Bi kijan aîletê naskirin gundî we esas? Which families are your village known by originally?
Esas, mala Hesî Mêmê hene, mala Xelo hene, û hevmalo niştin, nav da naskirin, mala Kêlê hene. Originally, there is the Hesî Mêmê family, the Xelo family, and those living together known among them, the Kêlê family.
Evana esasê gund in? Are these the originals of the village?
Esasê gund in. They are the originals of the village.
Ê dîn ji başqe gava hatine gund rûniştine? Did others come from elsewhere to settle in the village?
Ev jî ne ji nîzik daye, yanî qat... îj nîzik çiqas tebî, sê sed sal ra hotî gund rûniştî. They are not from nearby, meaning... no matter how close, they came and settled in the village 300 years ago.
Xalo, te emrî gundê we zaniye çiqas sal heye? Uncle, do you know the age of your village, how many years old it is?
Welle emrî vî gundî... gerek çar sed sal hebe. Well, the age of this village... it must be 400 years.
Ne? Really?
Belê. Yes.
Baran û hewş û şikeft nîşan didin. The ruins, courtyards, and caves show it.
Çar sed sal hewqe nizane. 400 years, no one knows exactly.
Ne? Really?
Ên zane çar sed sal... berî we jî heye. Those who know say 400 years... it existed before that too.
Xalo, li vê derê jor hember me digotin Kevirê Şîr, nizanim çiye? Uncle, up here opposite us they mentioned "Kevirê Şîr" (Milk Stone), I don't know what it is?
Kelşîr, ewa jêra dibêjin Kelşîr. Kelşîr, they call that place Kelşîr.
Şebekî, mirovekî go... eyn meselê... keçikê jinikê hebûye, şîrê xwedanê, diçûyî dewar darjê dikir. A guy, a person said... the same story... there was a girl or woman, she had milk, she used to go and milk the livestock.
Piling... piling dihatin. A tiger... tigers used to come.
Ca mezinan digot, me didîtin? Did the elders say they saw them?
Mezinê me didîtin. Me nedît. Our elders saw them. We didn't see them.
Wer ye? Is that so?
Aliyê hane, hew delalca mezin e, dilê berê... hew tişta hebû. On that side, that big cliff... in the old hearts... that thing existed.
Qenaeta xwe pê dikirin? Did they believe in it?
Qenaeta xwe pê dikirin. Bes noka... They believed in it. But now...
Noka ew tiştê wa bî xurafet dikin. Now they consider those things superstitions.
Na, we bibe elan jî qenaeta xwe pê nakin. No, even if it happens now, they don't believe it.
Nono tiştê wana, henek hene, qenaeta xwe pê nakin, bes berê kal û pîrê kevin qenaet pê dikirin. No no, those things, there are some who don't believe, but before, the old men and women believed.
Ewa ziyaret heye, Yûsif Siyar. There is a shrine, Yusif Siyar.
Kîderê? Where?
Yûsif Siyar. Yusif Siyar.
Yûsif Siyar? Yusif Siyar?
Erê. Yes.
Em qiçik bûn, me ne dizanî polîtîk û gundê xera bûyî û mal... We were small, we didn't know politics and destroyed villages and homes...
Wek cama bîrê piling, we digota. Like the time of the tiger well, as you said.
Em diçûn nav 'Hevşî' gundê me, ne dûrî mal e. Ereb dihatin, ku kut kirin, gih xera kirin û hemû tişt kirin. We went into 'Hevşî' [cave] of our village, not far from home. Arabs came, beat everyone, destroyed everything and did everything.
Tiştek nekirin? They didn't do anything?
Tiştek nekirin. Cama jî waye bî, me ne ewqas polîtîk boy ne... seke êzingkî gundê boynîne mal, dixaw da da hatine. They didn't do anything [to us in the cave]. The time was like that, we weren't that political... if someone brought firewood to the house, they would come in their sleep.
Dixaw da da hatine? They came in their sleep?
E qenaet... çûbî ew roj nizanim. Well, belief... those days are gone, I don't know.
Em Kurmanc, dilê me pak e, em dilbirehm in, em ditirsin. We Kurds, our hearts are pure, we are compassionate, we are afraid.
Hiç tuneye. Not at all.
Lê? Really?
Wê menê... dixaw da tê, ma derdikeve. Ya yê no tirse, ya yê rehm zik da tune ye, berdeke ne qedeke de. In that sense... coming in sleep, or leaving. Either no fear, or no mercy in the belly, they just let go.
Gundê me, tebîetê gundê jî hîşt e, em tinê çiya zanim, em kêf çiya. Meîşeta me dewar e, ziraet e, dar e, zeytûn e, rez e. Our village, the nature of the village is preserved, we only know the mountain, we enjoy the mountain. Our livelihood is livestock, farming, trees, olives, vineyards.
Erê g.. Gelek li gunda gih tiştî mera hebe, çêlek mera, pezê mera, mirîşkê mera... Yes... Many in the village have everything, our cows, our sheep, our chickens...
Hebe, dilê mera dixwaze, bes meîşet çetin bûye... teneb ba bûye... tişt ba bûye, îca hinek feqîr bûn, hinek dewlemend bûn. It exists, our hearts want it, but livelihood has become difficult... trouble has happened... things happened, so some became poor, some became rich.
Feqîr bûn pir çêbûye. Poverty has increased a lot.
Belê, de ciye milet ketî yanî hindik e. Yes, so the place where the people have fallen is small/scarce.
Rast e. It's true.
Yanî cafaf jî... îsal pir cafaf jî çêbûye... ka tune ye, tişt tune ye, genim tune ye. Meaning drought too... this year a lot of drought happened... there is no straw, nothing, no wheat.
Heşt sal naha, deh sal naha, herb bûye milet hotî go veşartin û berdan. Eight years now, ten years now, war happened, people came and hid and left.
Firar dikin. Kesî bi kêf tune ye. They are fleeing. No one is happy.
Bes em... û em, bes zanim, em deîşin. But we... and we, I just know, we are living.
Mêjiyê mera ne bi hesuyî ye. Our minds are not envious.
Fikirê mera jî ne bi hesuyî be wellel'ezîm mera... dilê mera nahêle mera işkî bike. Our thoughts shouldn't be envious, by God Almighty... our hearts don't allow us to do anything [bad].
Ew kelê şuxul pir nemaye. That energy for work doesn't remain much.
Ew kelê berê pir nemaye. That old energy doesn't remain much.
Rast e. Nemaye. It's true. It doesn't remain.
Kaniyê li vî gundê we tuneye? Av tuneye? Is there no spring in your village? No water?
Kaniya Xweşxweşkê heye, em vir da xuşxuşk e. There is the Xweşxweşk spring, we call it Xuşxuşk here.
Xuşxuşk e? Xuşxuşk?
Erê. Nano quloxî xwe sar de, av e, ne tişt e. Yes. Put your ear to it, it's water, it's nothing else.
Îşta em li wê heyirîne ku av dare. Now we are puzzled that the water is gone.
Êwa. Yeah.
Yanî ava, hinek bagîrok, mesrefek lê bikira, ewa ava derketa dorê. Meaning the water, if some excavator, some expense was spent on it, that water would come out around there.
Li dûr e? Li vî kortê jêr ne? Is it far? In this hollow down here?
Di camê wê da... sê sed metro heye tune ye. Pişt wê erdê ne. In its vicinity... 300 meters, more or less. Behind that land.
A ma ewê erdê ew darê? Hise avê tê we, xiixişê avê. But does that land have trees? You hear the sound of water, the swish of water.
Xiixişê avê tê me. Te ew darê? No meselan bagîrok tiştek hebe, bikule, ê derkeve. We hear the swish of water. Do you see those trees? For example, if there was an excavator, if it dug, it would come out.
Ê bagîrok... ê derkeve. Heger helkêşe bagîrok, êkî saxo ke çî dike. Wekî di av e. Ne tişt e. The excavator... it would come out. If the excavator pulls it up... It's like water. Nothing else.
Bile, bile nîzik e sak hîs tê. Yes, yes, it's close since the sound comes.
No xêr e... zivistanê berf lê nagire. It's good... in winter snow doesn't stick there.
Wek cema boyî germ e. Like a place that faces the warmth.
Boyî germ e, eywa. It faces the warmth, exactly.
Zivistanê berf bê dar bê, li ser nagire... û avînê jî her ser boyî heye nikanok ça dike. In winter snow or rain, it doesn't stick... and in summer it always faces the sun...
Belê. Yes.
Canê me jî yek we na heye. We have one like that too.
Ewa kaniyê wer o av e. That spring is water like that.
Û qey me seqil e, ana em kevirkî tê wer dikin, em his dikin. And we are certain, if we throw a stone in, we hear it.
Ber qefik wena ber zinarê da ye. It's under a cliff, under the rock.
Qaçikê gund wextikî em lêrî hatin hew, me denemîk ji dilê xwe xistin bîra... me neguherî pey gundê. The village kids, one time we came here, we dropped a dynamite from our hearts into the well... we didn't change the village.
Û yek... navê xwe Şêx Reşîd bû, Xwedê ji wî rehm bike, rehmertî. And one... his name was Sheikh Rashid, may God have mercy on him, the late one.
Digot avê zane. Em qiçik bûn ser wan ra... li ser bîlekê de çû, digot vira dixetin. He said he knows the water. We were small around them... he walked on a ridge, he said dig here.
Xetê hona dike xuşxuş me kin îha dida eyb e. He drew a line like this, don't whisper, he gave a sign, it's shameful.
Ana hew ji bîrê me da ko. That has now faded from our memory.
Yanî aletek hebe, sag wir bikulin, deha bîst metro daxin ê bigihîninê. Meaning if there was a machine, if they dug there, went down ten or twenty meters, they would reach it.
Gerek derkeve. Gerek derkeve. It should come out. It should come out.
Ecêba miletê gund bi hev ra, ewna ki itifaqa we heye? I wonder about the people of the village together, do you have unity?
Itifaqa me tune. We don't have unity.
Itifaqa we tune? You don't have unity?
Itifaqa me tune. Noka noka, mal, gundî me, salekê biçûna bigre, her malek tenekek zeyt bide kanî bikule, ê nakan. We don't have unity. Right now, our village houses, if they went for a year... if every house gave a tin of oil to dig the spring, they won't do it.
Lê her yek tenekek zeyt bide, sê sed mal e, sê sed teneke. But if everyone gives a tin of oil, it's 300 houses, 300 tins.
Ji wê zeyta malê der jî nekeve. Even that oil won't come out of the house.
Ne midu, wê dernekeve. Not likely, it won't come out.
Mera zane be çiye. Mera zane be çiye, em pêgînin. We know what it is. We know what it is, we understand.
Pûştê netîcokî. The back of the result (it's pointless).
Bi xêr û... sed tenekeyî me tê, mal tenekeyî. With goodness... a hundred tins come to us, a tin per house.
Zeyta îsal tune ye. Zeyt tuneye, hinekî kêm bû. There is no oil this year. There is no oil, it was a bit less.
Rast e. That's true.
Xwe tenekek eşir çû. A tin went for a tithe.
Le? Really?
Wa sal jî zeytûn... şta vê salê ne, hasil çû. Zeyt erzan bû, milet da rev. This year the olives... it's not like this year, the harvest is gone. Oil was cheap, people fled.
Cafaf jî çêbûye, mîsima xelkê gih şewitî. Drought happened too, everyone's season burned up.
Le. Yes.
Xwedê, Xwedê li me werrehmê. God, may God have mercy on us.
De ko bi me ra bin, em a parçê vî derê jêr jî wera teswîr kin, havoyî sehata we xweş, Xwedê ji we razî be. Stay with us, we will film this lower part for you too, have a good time, may God be pleased with you.
Xwedê ji te razî be. Xwedê we xweş bike. May God be pleased with you. May God make you happy.
Erê hevalno, li vê derê jî em li mala Menanî Mistê ne... parçê jêrin. Yes friends, here we are at the house of Menan son of Misto... in the lower part.
Mistê Hisnê. Hewşek xwo pir kevnar heye, hewşê gundê jî me pir ecibandin, caman hewşê gund bi qesr e. Misto son of Hisno. He has a very ancient courtyard, we liked the village courtyards very much, man, the village courtyard is like a palace.
Te zani? You know?
Lênî xêr e, hewşê kevnar e, hewşo... yanî... But it's good, it's an ancient courtyard, courtyard... meaning...
Er lê, stûnê wan tîrêjê bof û kol o ye... kevnar e. Erebî narin. Yes, their columns are arches of stone and lime... it's ancient. Arabs don't go there.
Belê, hewş gih hono bûn. Xalûyê min xera nekiriye, xalû xera nekiriye, zikro hîştiye û divê hênik e. Yes, all courtyards were like this. My uncle hasn't destroyed it, uncle hasn't destroyed it, he left it as a memory and it must be cool.
Av hewşo hênik e, gelek gelek dîrok nîşan didin. This courtyard is cool, it shows a lot of history.
Em ê noko bigerin pêşwaz kin. We will now walk around and present it.
Erê, divê hewa... eynik pêdixistin, eynik... nînik ne? Yes, they must have... put a mirror, a mirror... a niche, right?
Emê ji xwe dibêjin nînik. Wextê berê çira didan ser. We call it a "nînik" (niche). In the old times they put a lamp on it.
U le av qilkê manî çi xalo? And what is the meaning of these pegs, uncle?
Hewa ben pêdixistin, reşî pê... destmalê xwe çadikirin. They tied a string to it, black cloth... they hung their handkerchiefs.
Destmal darê xwe çadikirin, wekî perde, wekî perdo dikişandin. They hung their handkerchiefs, like a curtain, they pulled it like a curtain.
Av jî çira didan ser? And this one, they put a lamp on?
Erê çira didan ser. Yes, they put a lamp on it.
Erê, av jî çira didan ser. Yes, this one too, they put a lamp on it.
Erê. Yes.
Wadiye, seqfî gundê gih dîrok e. Like that, the roof of the village is all history.
Xalo, dilop o nakin ne? Uncle, it doesn't leak, does it?
No, no. No, no.
Ser genda ax e û binî ji dîrek e, kevnar e. The top is soil and the bottom is beams, it's ancient.
Havînê hênik e, zivistanê jî germ e. In summer it is cool, and in winter it is warm.
Lê, wa hênik e. Yes, it is cool.
Lê, zivistanê jî germ e, pixora jî diwir da ye. Yes, in winter it is warm, the stove is in there too.
Ev îst’emal dikin fexar e? Do they use this, is it pottery?
Belê... na ev hesin e. Du poxare di vê hewşê da ne, yek li vir e, yek li vir e. Xelk vê îst’emal dikin. Yes... no this is iron. There are two fireplaces in this courtyard, one is here, one is here. People use this.
Pir hewşek kevnar e. It is a very ancient courtyard.
Hawa jî... sindoqa bûkê, zavê, babê... cîhêzê tê dikirin. And this... the chest of the bride, the groom, the father... the dowry was put in it.
Tîna li vî derî, wekî betrîna... wekî mesele sekratûnek noka dikin, derdixin. They put it here, like a showcase... like for example a secretary (wardrobe) they do now, they bring it out.
Ev sindoq bî, cîyê bûk şimaliyê bavê kê derdikeve, tiştî tê dikirne. This was the chest, where the bride leaves her father's shelter, they put things in it.
Kincê tê dikirin, çi rehala xwe bî. Çûçik e... bira em bi vê bînin, tediye? Clothes were put in it, whatever her trousseau was. It is small... let's bring it with this, you know?
Noka jî dibê sekratûnek bi hezar dolarî û nizanim bi deh hezar dolar textika dikirin. Now they say a secretary for a thousand dollars and I don't know, ten thousand dollars, they buy wooden boards.
Textika dikirin. They buy wooden boards.
Berê bûkê... berê gî bi vê bûn te dî ye? Before the bride... before everything was with this, did you see?
Gî bi vê bûn lê. Everything was with this, yes.
Berê bûkek şimaliyê bavê xwe derketiba, hewa rehala wê bî. Before, if a bride left her father's shelter, this was her trousseau.
Rehala xwe ev bî. Tiştê xwe gî têda bî. Her trousseau was this. All her things were in it.
We dî çiqas çîçik e? Do you see how small it is?
Ev jî şûna betrînê ye, betrîna binî pertiyan. This is instead of a showcase, the showcase under the bedding.
Erê ev jî binî pertiyan e. Yes, this is also under the bedding.
Tiştî gî têde cim dikirin. Genim dikirin, mesele çi ew hebu dikirne cewfa wî. They collected everything in it. They put wheat, for example whatever there was, they put inside it.
Hin pertî didan ser, hin ca dikirne tiştê xwe. Ev jî mualema, kuncê xwe dikirinê. Emrê vê çiqas sal e xalo? Some put bedding on top, some made space for their things. This is also handling, they put their corners/belongings in it. How old is this, uncle?
Emrê vê pir e. Its age is old.
Pir kevnar e ne? Very ancient, isn't it?
Kevnar e lê. Bavê xwa heştê-nûh salî heye teqrîben. Dîna bavê min rehmetî bî, o dêya min bî. Xwedê rehma xwe lêke. It is ancient, yes. My father is about eighty-nine years old. It belonged to my late father, and was my mother's. May God have mercy on them.
Wele hewşê we ma pir ecêb, hênik e. Avî naye? By God, your courtyard remained very wonderful, it is cool. Water doesn't come (leak)?
Avî naye, zivistanê jî germ e. Water doesn't come, and in winter it is warm.
Cam in, bi vê blokê dikin qesrê pê dikin. Xêra tûras... tiştî tûrasî hîn heye. It is glass, they do with these blocks, they build palaces. The good of heritage... heritage things still exist.
Wa naye erê. That doesn't come, yes.
Ma ne meriv zana be, berê milet çawa di’eyişîn, çawa derbas dikirin. Isn't it that if a person is wise, [they know] how people lived before, how they passed [time].
Wa nû bî heyata xo hanû... That was new, their life like this...
Lê berê hişta... ha... marg û sindoq hev bî. Rehala bûkê gî ev e. But before still... look... dowry and chest were together. The bride's trousseau is all this.
Noka dibê bi hezar, deh hezar dolar zêr. Rehaleat kê mara bikire. Now they say a thousand, ten thousand dollars gold. Buying her trousseau for the dowry.
Textî xewê û kinc û... pênc şeş hezar dolar tişta dikirin. Bed and clothes and... they buy things for five, six thousand dollars.
Miletê berê aqilê wan... Teftîşa xêra xwe dikirin, vira derdikirin. People of the past, their mind... They inspected their assets, brought them out here.
Her yek cewtekî, heta biroke cewtekî. Each one a pair, even up to a pair...
Ene berê te bûkek banîna pere nedixwestin. Look, before if you brought a bride, they didn't ask for money.
Lê wane, te rehalê gî bi xwe re dianî. But look, you brought the whole trousseau with you.
Na, tiştek nedikirin, xelas. Bes sindoqo, bi vî eynik, bi vî makîna destan, bi destan. No, they didn't do anything, finished. Only the chest, with this mirror, with this hand machine, by hand.
Ya destan. The hand one.
Hew bî. That was it.
Sed xweş. A hundred times welcome.
Ma qenterma kevnar e erê. Emrê vê kevn e. This arch is ancient, yes. Its age is old.
Xalo, ev resmê ma çi ye? Kevnar e ev? Uncle, what is this picture of ours? Is this ancient?
Resmê... zavatîyê min rojekê kir û hedye anî. The picture... of my wedding, one day I did it and brought it as a gift.
Hedye anî ne? Erê ev huli... hewşa xalo pir kevnar e, maşalla. Brought as a gift, right? Yes this... uncle's courtyard is very ancient, mashallah.
Gelek kevirî... kevir nîne. Pir kevnar e. Saeta xalo xweş. Very stony... it is not stone. It is very ancient. Thanks to uncle.
Taben ehbabê... Ebû Semîr e. Ebû Semîr jî rûniştîye li ba me. Of course friends... This is Abu Samir. Abu Samir is also sitting with us.
Ev hevalê xwa eskeriyê ye. Çil û pênc sal ne. He is his friend from military service. Forty-five years, right?
Erê. Yes.
