Hem cîran bûn, hem ya gîştinê... We were both neighbors, and of reaching [kinship]...
Pişta me xwedî, û cîbarî bî, pismamê hev bûn. Our backs [generations] possessors, and neighborliness, we were cousins of each other.
El hezkiriyê gund bû. He was a lover of the village.
Û mirov xwaş e xweyîbû nêzîk bîkî. And a person is pleasant to keep close.
Ji gotinê wî... From his words...
Û ji edetê wî, mi pir hez dikir. And from his customs, I liked him a lot.
Û ey pir tenbîrê bî. And he was very advising.
Û gotinê wî... And his words...
Cimeata wî ya rojî dinişt, yanî gotinêt xwe, dengkirin... His congregation that sat daily, meaning his words, his speaking...
Încû kelama bêtir xweş... Then [he made] the conversation even more pleasant...
Pirtir xweşderbî... tu zanî cîjkeş xwedê... mesleh û henek dikirin. To be more entertaining... you know God [created] the joker... they made jokes and fun.
Nukte, Ereb dibêjin nukte jî hebûn. Jokes, Arabs call them "nukte", there were those too.
Em jî hingî wî tê de xilisyane. Ji min pir hez dikir. We also were saved within that [humor]. He loved me very much.
Hin caran di navbera meslehê dikirin, digo "Gava bimrim, heneka pîş movan me, digo tê çûne me bigrê." Sometimes while making conversation, he would say, "When I die, don't make fun of the dead, he said, come and hold [mourn] me."
Şûre û cemeata û mesleh û henekê... me wextê xweş xwedê wana derbas dikir. Banquets, gatherings, conversations, and jokes... by God, we passed good times with them.
Ya pir çûn cemeatan. Yes, we went to gatherings a lot.
Bavê Şêxo, tu diçî demên daho û tu pê va eleqedar î, tu wek hevalekî ji xwedê re. Bavê Şêxo (Father of Sheikho), you go back to past times and you are interested in it, you are like a friend to him [Bavê Kal].
Bavê te yê xwedêda yê rehmetî, ji çiqasî bû? Your late father, how old was he?
Tewlûdê bavê Kal Elî yê rehmetî, xwedê rehma xwe lê ke, hezar û nehsed û sî ye. The birth year of the late Bavê Kal Elî (Father Kal Ali), may God have mercy on him, is nineteen thirty.
Hezar û nehsed û sî? Nineteen thirty?
Belê. Yes.
Kîjan salê da wefat kir? In which year did he pass away?
Sala du hezar û deh û diwanzdehê da. In the year two thousand and ten or twelve.
Du hezar û deh û diwanzdehê da wefat e wî bû, li Zivistane bû. His passing was in two thousand and ten or twelve, it was in Winter.
Li Zivistanê bû? It was in Winter?
Bavê Şêxo bi xwe, Bavê Kal Elî ji vî gundî mezin bû? Bavê Şêxo, did Bavê Kal Elî grow up in this village?
Erê, di vira mezin bû. Di vira dayik bû û li vira mezin bû û li vira jî emrê xwedê, yanî pir emr darbas kir. Yes, he grew up here. He was born here, grew up here, and here God's life, meaning he spent a long life here.
Ka çîçkê, bima ku tu ji gund va nîzîk bî, çîçkê ji me ra behsa gund bike. Te çît gund dîtî, wextê gitsixil mîş dibî kiva diçû? Since you are close to the village, tell us a little about the village. What did you see in the village, when it got crowded/busy, where did he go?
Te qet ştara hewal neda, ku çiq mahwî be, ka dilê gund, ka çiq bêhesî dengê xwe xweş e û kê nê wî rîsalê xweş bimelekinê? Didn't you notice at all, how gifted he was, where the heart of the village lay, how sensitive and beautiful his voice was, and who possessed that beautiful message?
Me pirs dikir û ma şêx mezin bû, ma divî sipart ser wî dan dikirin. Ekîd hem ne hevalê min bî. We used to ask, and since the Sheikh was great/old, we had to rely on his judgment. Surely, he wasn't just my friend.
Em biçûk bûn. Hawa zû te digihîm ku nçe salê xort bû, bîst salî da, yanî di sî salî da bû, zewicî ya xweş pê hat. We were small. That was early, I realized when he was a young man, in his twenties, meaning in his thirties, he got married happily.
Xalanê di wî hebûn qeregolî, ewana jî bi tembûrê radibûn û rûniştin, tam klamên malê Mehmûd Şevder digotin. He had maternal uncles from Qeregol, they also lived their lives with the tembûr (lute), they sang the songs of the house of Mehmûd Şevder exactly.
We salî wefe alemnî. Daxê gava ku tembûr di dest da dît, çû û rûnişt, tembûr xwe li hev anî, dezgeh anî, wan danîn kirî. In those years [he passed away] globally. The moment he saw the tembûr in hand, he went and sat, tuned the tembûr, prepared the setup, and performed for them.
Daxê tembûr eyarê dixwaze. Dibê biçûk û mezin, genda eyar dikirin tembûr. The moment demands the tembûr be tuned. Whether small or big [musicians], the guys tuned the tembûr.
Li duzan dixistin, yekê we re pê de. Destpêkê aşiq bû, gava ku çitûnî bû, yanî îlham jê re ne dihat... They played in order, one after the other. In the beginning, he was a lover (ashik), when he wasn't in the mood, meaning if the inspiration didn't come to him...
De hat, birêve dibe... mabîna min û xwedê, de hat birêve tembûr bi ber kelma diket jê dizane diket. It came, it happens... between me and God, it came, the tembûr would fall into the rhythm of the words, he knew how to do it.
Lê dixist hîsê genda digerîne. Nizanî lê xe. He played, stirring the feelings of the guys. You wouldn't know [he was just] playing.
Di fitilî tek ro, jê ra, e bico jê ra eyar dikirin de hat. Yanî bi vî meraqê bû. He would turn specifically, for that, the guys would tune for him, and it would come. Meaning, he had this passion.
Mabîna gund diçû û dihat, mabîna qeregolê hesen Dêro, û tiştê zû beş jê re li dizanxane. He went back and forth within the village, between Qeregol of Hesen Dêro, and things he quickly knew well.
Bas eyar kin û go. Just tune it and say it [sing/play].
Eyar kin, me'na meraqa pir bi vî girtî ye. Tune it, meaning the passion had gripped him tightly.
Û aşiq tembûrê bûye. Û eslen bi xwe aşiq bû. Fannane kî bû, fannane kî aşiq bû. And he became a lover of the tembûr. And actually, he was a lover himself. He was an artist, an artist who was in love.
Ekseriyet fen, bi xwe piraniya hunermend û fannanîn pir ji eşqê, ji eşqê tên. Yanî xareke ney aşiq be. Generally art, most artists and performers come from love, from love. Meaning, it doesn't move/work if he isn't in love.
Û hesret û kzir û şewat û elem di dilê wî da tune be... And if longing, raspiness, burning, and pain are not in his heart...
Dest wî karî nake. His hand won't do the work.
Û gotin, û klam bi xwe, belkî dengê xweş e... And the saying, and the song itself, maybe the voice is beautiful...
Û hinyê hingir, Ereb dibên... heye vêra... bi her tûnawîkî, bi her rengekî, her klamek... gava dida ye dengê xwe lê dihat. And the texture of the throat, Arabs say... it exists there... with every tune, with every color, every song... when he gave it, his voice suited it.
Û bi qongiriyê bû. And it was with mastery/depth.
Wî raxum jî wek dibên... xwendina wî tune bû. Despite that, as they say... he had no education.
Xwendina wî qet tune bû? Yanî dibistan ne xwendibû? Did he have no education at all? Meaning he hadn't read/attended school?
Ez zanim hûk bitenê nexwendî mektebê. I know he just hadn't studied at school.
Nexwendibû, bes aşiq bû û şivan bû. He hadn't studied, but he was a lover and a shepherd.
Şivanê pezê bû, û cotkar bû, û gundî bû, û çawî bû, û rêjber bû. He was a sheep herder, and a farmer, and a villager, and a farmer (eyes/senses), and a laborer.
Hemû bû yanî, divê ciwî da, divê awê da mezin bibî, divê bi yê da mezin bibî. He was everything, meaning, he grew up in this environment, in this water, in this place.
Dengê xwe pir xweş bû. Heta nuka çiqo ecye li herin, û çiqo yê werin heta noha mîrabin rûnin, emê gileynin. His voice was very beautiful. Even now, no matter how many generations go, and no matter how many come, until now [if] Mirs sit down, we will complain/lament [if we don't hear such a voice].
Gotinê xwe rind bû. Û xwedê da bû, çûna bû, yanî... felsefa vêra hebû. His words were good. And it was God-given, his way of going, meaning... he had a philosophy about it.
Felsefa vêra hebû? He had a philosophy about it?
Te digo heba xwendavan e. You would say he was an educated person.
Te digo şolme... You would say his work...
Belê, miqto hadîsek mumeyezek xwas di vê însanî da hebû. Yes, there was a specific distinctive characteristic in this person.
Heta wî, min pir mûlaha ze dikir, û bala xwe dida ye, û mi jî hez dikir, rabûn rûniştina xwe... meşê xwe... bitertîb bû. Even him, I observed him a lot, and paid attention to him, and I loved him too, his standing up and sitting down... his walking... was orderly.
Xencê di xwar kirin lê dihat. Şewler li xwe dikir lê dihat. Daqim girêdida diçtan, te digo keennî... yanî mezin e ke, wezîr e ke. He wore the dagger and it suited him. He wore the shalwar (pants) and it suited him. He tied the suit/sash when going out, you would say as if... meaning he is a great person, a vizier.
Û Ereb dibên lebeq, lê dihat yanî. And Arabs say "lebeq" (tactful/fitting), it suited him, meaning.
Reqsa xwe hebû, sergovendî bû yanî... He had his dance, he was the head of the dance, meaning...
Yanî govend dikişand, reqsê gotin govendê bû. Mididî, dida pîkê jî. Rijnax dadekhat. Li dirbekê dixist, jaxdadekhat. Meaning he led the dance, the dance was called the govend. He paid attention, he gave to the flute too. The sound came out. He hit the drum, the sound came out.
Tembûrê jî zatî... yanî tembûrê xwe... Ereb dibên teqsim ne, yanî teqsim û ji xwe ra... ne klamên mueyen bûn, yanî ne bîl bûn hewa çi ye. The tembûr was essentially... meaning his tembûr... Arabs call it "taqsim" (improvisation), meaning improvisation and for himself... they weren't specific songs, meaning it wasn't known exactly what the melody was.
Li ser hev dadihat dida deşon, hin caran girî mera berra dihat. It came one after another, he gave it expression, sometimes crying would overcome us.
Xalê Mehmûd, wextê didiçû cem... te bi Kal Elî Tujo ra dida dastan. Ştara hewal neda, aw pêşê te deynekir, fannanê gund mîsir gilkî di no? Uncle Mahmoud, when you went to... you accompanied Kal Ali Tujo. Didn't you notice, didn't he perform that profession in front of you, wasn't he like the village artist?
Weko berê meselen, kefendarê me pir ne? Bese kîna navê kî be zikirin Cemîl Horo meselen. Like in the past, for example, we have many shroud-bearers (old people/keepers of tradition)? But mentioning someone's name, for example Jamil Horo.
Gund, ştara tîrwa hewal neda, gil kê di no? The village, didn't you notice that at all, were there complaints?
Şima? Min dînam, em carke çûn rêkeke bi hevdra em fitilîn. Em... de'wî ke bû, dar ke bû, em xura birin. Elhal em cem bûn. Why? I saw, once we went on a road together, we wandered. We... there was an invitation, there was a wedding, we took ourselves there. Anyway, we were together.
We teke mi ro hazez bî. Em çûn ew zeryo me hal kir. Teben çend merî di me ra hebûn. And he was ready with me alone. We went, we resolved that misery. Naturally, there were a few people with us.
Em li fitilê, gûnê cem me bûn me go... Na, bavê Elî go em ke herin. On the return, the sins were with us (we were tired/hungry), we said... No, Bavê Elî said let's go.
Tekî hesab nabe kin, yanî nê nê bî ne pere bî. No one should pay the bill, meaning no, no, let it not be money [issues].
Em rabûn, em hatin bi rê va em fitilîn. Wextê çiçikê dereng bû. We got up, we came along the road, we wandered. The time was a bit late.
Em hatin Kefir Cenê sekinîn. We came and stopped at Kafr Janna.
Cemeatê me ra berê... wesandin e. The group with us before... was exhausted.
Em bi rê de hatin me yê île derkê rûnin Ebu Elî dervas kin. We came along the road, we said we must sit somewhere outside, let's visit Abu Ali.
Matxamekî... em bi jî xwarinê. A restaurant... we also [wanted] food.
Digo tin, li qunta, li qunta, matxam li qunta... te. He was saying, at the corner, at the corner, the restaurant at the corner... come.
Em hatin Kefir Cenê... matxamqî rîyad hebî, serincekê. We came to Kafr Janna... there was a distinct restaurant, [with] a fountain.
Ebu Elî li vira ye? Go Ebu Elî li vir e, keremkin. Is Abu Ali here? He said Abu Ali is here, welcome.
Em rûniştin. Me go "Ebu Elî, em xerîb in. Em ji Kobaniyê ne. Em hevalê Cemîl Horo ne." We sat down. We said "Abu Ali, we are strangers. We are from Kobani. We are friends of Jamil Horo."
Go "Ser çava, ser çava." He said "You are welcome, you are welcome" (Upon my eyes).
Xizmetkar hatin. Çi lazim e? Araq lazim e. The servers came. What is needed? Araq (alcohol) is needed.
Meza lazim e. Goşt, çi lazim e? Me go wilo wilo wilo. Meze (appetizers) is needed. Meat, what is needed? We said this, this, this.
Walem bîşo... masqa sekinîn. And then... the music/setup stood ready.
Û serê me dîn... ka Ebu Elî ji mokî nê de hat, dehem here bezîn me. And our heads were spinning... Ebu Ali wasn't coming from anywhere, then he came running to us.
Ber dedî, matxam e. In front of him, it's a restaurant.
Û wext jî dereng û der, yanî hacê bon, emvisk bûn û filan bê be. And the time was late and out, meaning there were pilgrims (people), we were engaged and so on.
Em hê wa û mîke çi bikin, tamo tizanê rûniştina Ebu Elî der. While we were there, whatever they do, you know the sitting at Abu Ali's place outside.
Bi dil û goyar im û bi ne. I am [telling this] with heart and enthusiasm.
Go "Em birçî ne." Go "Ji mera nan bînin." He said "We are hungry." He said "Bring us bread."
Me go "Bavê Elî, nan niha nînin. Emê araqê vexwin, paşê nan bixwin." We said "Bavê Elî, no bread now. We will drink Araq, then eat bread."
Em dermanê xwe hinekî. [Let] us [take] our medicine (drink) a little.
Tamo tizanê, de dûr nîn, roberî nîn Ebu Elî... You know completely, not far, not facing away Abu Ali...
Em darbas bûn... taqê jûrin. Em çûn... We entered... the upper arch/room. We went...
Ana... çirênê bibê xistinê, bikutinê... Cewkî ana... yanî toje, şev e. There... singing songs, beating [drums]... That atmosphere... meaning fresh, it is night.
Cewkî wana qirmîş kirin e, di matxam da. They had stirred up that atmosphere, in the restaurant.
Klamê Cemîl Horo û rehmetî... î dî nan e, ser awe... ne megrafon û ba kirin e. Yanî ji milas ro digot noro. The songs of Jamil Horo and the deceased... he saw them, on that... not with microphone and calling out. Meaning he was saying it directly from the chest.
Em çûn kasik tinne... înan. We went, there were no glasses... they brought them.
Em rûniştin Ebu Elî li pê sekinî. Li pê sekinî. Tê miyona gul xwedanê û gul... Cemîl Horê rehmetî dinê. We sat down, Abu Ali stood behind. He stood behind. Between the flower owner and the flower... Jamil Horo the deceased was there.
Gul genda dinê. The guys gave flowers.
Ana lsa ofa mero desona timona ro kirin, go "Tey felek!" Then from the side of us, the hands beat the drums, he said "Oh Fate!" (Tey Felek - a song start).
Yanî bibîra xwe anî, dondin nistandina xwe bi hevra hebûn, rûniştina xwe hebûn, gotina xwe hebûn. Meaning he remembered, they had giving and taking together, they had sittings, they had sayings.
Şorê xwe hebûn, xeberdanê xwe hebûn. They had their chats, they had their conversations.
Wextê di Cemîl Horo hat e, Cemîl Horo go "Tu bi xêr hatî!" When Jamil Horo came, Jamil Horo said "Welcome!"
Ew rûniştin, xwarin li ber wan sar bû. They sat down, the food went cold in front of them.
Ew xortê hane, tevde bi hev ra bûn. Those young guys, they were all together.
Tevde, sekinîn. Xwarin sêrî neda kesî. All of them, stood still. The food didn't appeal to anyone.
Xwedê Ebu Elî, xwedê matxam, xwedê tişt... mat ma! By God, Abu Ali, the owner of the restaurant, the owner of things... was astonished!
Go "Ev kî ye?" He said "Who is this?"
Yekî got "Ev hevalê Cemîl Horo ye." Someone said "This is a friend of Jamil Horo."
Go "Bi xwedê ev e, eger heye, ev bêtir e." He said "By God, this is him, if he exists, this is even more [impressive]."
Yanî wilo deng lê hat. Meaning, his voice suited him like that.
Em rûniştin, Cemîl Horo hat, bi hevra rûniştin. We sat down, Jamil Horo came, they sat together.
Hevdû maç kirin, hevdû himbêz kirin. They kissed each other, they hugged each other.
Go "Bavê Elî, tembûr tuneye." He said "Bavê Elî, there is no tembûr."
Tembûr, ewan tembûrjenê xwe hebûn bi hevra. Tembûr, they had their own tembûr players with them.
Go "Bila tembûrjenê min li tembûrê xe, tu bêje." He said "Let my tembûr player play the tembûr, you sing."
Go "E tembûra xelkê li xwe naynim." He said "I don't play/bring other people's tembûrs to myself."
Yanî adeta wî bû. Meaning it was his custom.
Tembûr ne ya wî ba, li nedixist. If the tembûr wasn't his, he wouldn't play it.
Ew edetek pir zor bû. That was a very difficult habit.
Û tembûrjenê Cemîl Horo, hoste bû, hostekî mezin bû. And Jamil Horo's tembûr player was a master, he was a great master.
Dest bi gotinekê kir, gotinek dîbaş li evda anî. He started a song, he brought a beautiful song to the people.
Û li ser wê wextê... wî şûret ki hatinê jê re ze kirandin. And at that time... he commemorated that image/moment that had come to him.
Û hew şûrinde tev hew de kirin, û ana bi dengkî bilind, û heznî, û da klamê. And they made that whole banquet together, and then with a loud voice, and sadness, he gave the song.
Bawiya ne rûnişt, û da klamê, bi vî tûnî hestê xwe şikand. The atmosphere sat [settled], and he gave the song, with this tune he broke his feelings [poured his heart out].
Mamosta spas, mala te ava, xwedê te bihêle. Teacher thanks, may your house be prosperous, may God keep you.
Spas xweş. Thanks [you are] welcome.

Merheba. Hello.
Sed merheba, ehlen we sehlen. A hundred hellos, welcome.
Allah te selîmet ke ya reb. Xaltîka Hûrê tu baş î? May God keep you safe, oh Lord. Aunt Hure, are you well?
Weleh ez baş im. By God, I am well.
Xelqê Hûrê tu çend salî ye? Aunt Hure, how old are you?
Şêst û çar. Sixty-four.
Şêst û çar. Me dîtî darê wa jî hîro gundî Xelîş gundî ba dîno... Sixty-four. We saw the trees of the village today, Xelîş village [or similar local name]...
Şoxlatê hotim le erziyanî, gundî Hesen Dêra me. The beautiful things I came across in the land, in the village of Hasan Dera.
Ehlen we sehlen. Welcome.
Me dîtî dar boz dibe, Allah te selîmet ke ya reb, emê pirsan ji te bikin. We saw the tall trees, may God save you. We will ask you some questions.
Xaltîka Hûrê, tu xweş vî gundî ye? Aunt Hure, are you native to this village?
Na, ez ne zava me. No, I am not native [literally: not a groom/native son, implies not born there].
Tu ne zava ye. You aren't native.
Te çend salin tu derbasî vî gundî bûye? How many years has it been since you came to this village?
Heft û çil, du û heft û sî û... Forty-seven, forty-two, thirty...
Pir kevin e. It's very old/long ago.
Dûra pêncî salîk li vî gundî ye. Yes.
Dûra pêncî salîk li vî gundî ye. Around fifty years in this village.
Xaltîka Hûrê, berê wexte li vî gundî şîvê d meşhûr pir çi dikirin şîvê d berê? Aunt Hure, back then in this village, what was the most famous dinner they used to make back then?
Şîv, berê kûlik bûn... Dinner, back then it was 'kulik' [grains/bread]...
Şîşberek bûn, texavrek bûn... It was 'shishbarak' [dumpling soup], it was 'texavrek' [grain soup]...
Erê, bi wan re tikê bibe wekî zemanê noke, şev û filan û bîwan û tenekê goştê kelîbî didan ser germiyê û hew bî. Yes, it wasn't like modern times with nights [parties] and such. A tin of boiled meat put on the soup and that was it.
Fasûlye bûn, teştes tiştê wun e, gund e. It was beans, basins of that sort of thing, it is a village.
Erê. Yes.
Şîvê d berê li Hesen Dêra vê şîvno dikirin. The dinners of the past in Hasan Dera were these dinners.
E hew bûn. E giştê me hew bûn. E kûlik bî, hevirê nîskê bî, hevirê savê bî, şta kotayî bî... That was it. All we had was that. It was 'kulik', it was lentil dough, it was bulgur dough, beaten grain stuff...
Wû lil esef me xwa îcar qet tehm jê nekiriye û ne jî hez dikim. And unfortunately, I haven't tasted it at all lately, nor do I like it.
Jê hez nekî? You don't like it?
Na. No.
Xaltîka Hûrê, dawetê vî gundî berê li ku dikirin? Aunt Hure, where did they hold the weddings in this village back then?
Berê li pêşiya mektebê dikirin. Back then they did them in front of the school.
Pêşiya mektebê dikirin. They did them in front of the school.
Bê darb bûn. Without [modern] instruments.
Ne bi diko, ne bi berber dikirin. Not with DJs, not with barbers doing it.
Ez jî... Hesp dianîn. El hesp dan. Even I... They brought horses. They gave the horse.
Ne bi makîne. Not with cars.
El hesp, hesp dan. The horse, they gave horses.
Şta zemanî vî gundî. Things of this village's time.
Bes le reqa qewê da bûn, ne zani boro. They were just on the rhythm of the coffee [social gathering], I don't know about that.
Wexte tu d hatî vî gundî, te li hespê kirin anîna? When you came to this village, did they put you on a horse to bring you?
Jî mole... kolkî min heta vê malê... From the home... my hut/home to this house...
Wexte tu derbas gundî ye, ji ewilî makîne da? When you entered the village, was it first in a car?
No, ewilî go... bi hespê bî. No, the first time... it was by horse.
E makîne û pasqîl û tişt tûne bûn. Le berê hew bûn. There were no cars or bicycles or things. Back then that's how it was.
Weşekerin bîk, el hesp dan. Thank God, they gave the horse.
Keşkek jî li pêş min dan. They put 'keşkek' [wheat dish] in front of me too.
E go me'ne lawik bixwîne da. Meaning, so that she gives birth to a boy.
Berê rast e, de zemanê berê ye. The past is true, those were the old times.
E lawik bî lê? Was it a boy then?
Elhemdulelah, destî te maç dikin, çavê te maç dikin, elhemdulelah lawik in e. Praise be to God, they kiss your hand, they kiss your eyes, praise God they are boys.
Wexte berê gûpikê li eskeran, lawik d paş dikirin, me'nî lawik bûn? Back then when they shaved the heads of soldiers, put the boy behind [on the horse], did it mean it would be a boy?
Lawik bûn. Û berî dînîn, da ne, tu jî le yek tişkî eybî pê dey. It was boys. And before bringing them, they gave... you know, you would feel shame about it.
E ma pîre digot gûlik, kalê digot nûgin. The old women said 'gulik', the old men said 'nûgin' [bride/groom].
Da ne gûlk zanî çiye, û ne nûgin zanî çiye. We didn't know what 'gulik' was, and didn't know what 'nûgin' was.
Ez ne li gundê mezin nebî, ez ne zanam. I wasn't in a big village, I didn't know.
Paşê me'limî nûgin û çêl û filan û bîvan, em mana 'elimîn. Later we learned about the groom and the family and so on, we learned the meaning.
Xaltîka Hûrê, adet û teqalîdên berê pir zehmet bûn ji noka re. Aunt Hure, the customs and traditions of the past were much harder than now.
Wele tu meşgûl... tu meşgûl dibûyî... By God, you were busy... you would get busy...
Gund gir d hat, kilîf d gerînê li nav gunda. The whole village came, walking around inside the village.
Mal bi mal, î desmal d dayî, î pênc wereq d dayî, î du wereq d dayî... House by house, this one gave a handkerchief, that one gave five notes [money], that one gave two notes...
Î hebe ştê yanî... hedye kîfe jî he bûn. If there was something... there were gifts of bags too.
Adet û teqalîdên berê he bûn. Those were the customs and traditions of the past.
He bûn erê. Em diçûn çiyê me zengil pişta xwe d da, em d hatin, me karet tîna. Yes they were. We went to the mountain, we put the baskets on our backs, we came back, we brought firewood.
El muhîm ye'nî heyat se'be derbas bî elhemdulelah. The important thing is, a hard life passed, praise be to God.
Heyatê berê jî tiştekî cehfo bî, bes xweş bî. The life of the past was something of suffering, but it was good.
Jî noka çêtir e. Şeref namûs pir bî, xîret pir bî. It is better than now. Honor and dignity were high, integrity was high.
Jîra liqim mer liqim pir bî, noka... Neighborliness was high, now...
Bê şale ez de bi stînim, û tu çiyê qezim teyî tune ye. He bûn. Zemana noka naylon e. I wash this shawl, and you [modern people] have no capability. That's how it was. The current time is nylon [synthetic/fake].
Berê hezkirin pir bî, xweş bî. Back then love was abundant, it was good.
Berê baqirî bî. Back then it was chaste/pure.
Noka? Now?
Noka naylon e. Now it is nylon.
Xeber e ji derve d şînin, d bê "kul bil carton, zitim min el balcon". They send words from outside, saying "Eat in the carton, throw it from the balcony." [Arabic rhyme implying fast/disposable lifestyle].
Be'de l kartone d xo hemû d bê balkonê werke, xim şuxl, xim herne, xim he. Afterwards they eat from the carton and throw it all from the balcony, both the work, and the stuff, and everything.
Heyat xweş e? Is life good?
Ya noka jî elhemdulelah, destû eb heyatê bere razî me. Well now too, praise God, I am satisfied with this life compared to the past.
Bes we cafo pir dît. But you saw a lot of suffering.
Allah Allah. Oh God, oh God.
Zamîrê însan d ben temam. If the human conscience becomes complete.
Hûn temam dibin. You become complete.
Ê we noka hîç kinî, dilî min lê d teqe, î neke bî tû nî xoreş d ke. Oh, now you do nothing, my heart beats for it, if one doesn't do it, you destroy yourself.
Ez serta dirêjî jî nakim, ez d xwazim te tişkî ser mesele hestê min pir xweş kêfî çûyî... I won't prolong it for you, I want [to ask] something about the issue of feelings, I really enjoyed...
...eceb e wexte vî qîzik derbayî gundî Hesen Dêra bibe, xerîbova vêra wa dikirin, lê êj guncî wa dikirin? ...it is strange when a girl entered the village of Hasan Dera, did they treat strangers like that, or did they treat locals like that?
Ê da ibnî, ah ne giştim vî mesele. Oh my son, I didn't reach that issue [didn't understand].
Li enne em xerîb, ne xerîb in, bes em xerîb el... e hotim ewal mere, ez kire bûk li vira. Because we are strangers, well not strangers, but strangers to the... I came the first time, I was made a bride here.
Me d çû jin d gaurîn, bi hevde li şotirikê, li derkê... We went and swapped women/brides, with seventeen in the truck, outside...
Kî şotir e î bîkê xo berî d da mektebê, me we kirî jî... Whoever is clever puts their bride/daughter in school first, we did that too...
Û serkeftin ji me ra jî hebî, me berî gindo bîkê xo siyar kir, ne ji qîzê me ji siyar bibe... And there was success for us too, we put our bride on the horse before the villagers, not that our daughter would ride...
Doynî e şatir bî, bes noko zeman 'atle. She was clever [in school], but now the time is idle/broken.
Xwedê çêke, em nizanin. May God fix it, we don't know.
Şêxo kulfetê hewre hatine? Sheikho, has the family come together?
Ji wî û kulfeta hewre hetine. He and the family have come together.
Ye'nî rezaa? Meaning nursing [milk-siblings]?
Rezaa, ah. Nursing, yes.
Te qetîfka derve haniye xaltîka Hûrê? Did you bring the velvet/fabric from outside, Aunt Hure?
Kê min? Wele yekî da bê kûmpê lê yom. Who, me? By God, one came to the camp/compound to me.
Bîst û sal nîv, sê salê min. Twenty and a half years, my three years.
Kûmpê da? In the camp?
Kûmpê dayî le, le... In the camp, in...
El mûhîm... The important thing...
Tîj lawkê te, qîzê te, xelkê min e, we? Your grandson, your daughter, they are my people, right?
Wele çiqo bêjî merro reziyem. By God, as much as you say, I am pleased with people.
E merro ne, ne wekî lawaye, ibnî. People are not, not like sons, my son.
Noko manate merro lawa heye, qîza tûne ye, we? Now the meaning of people is having sons, there are no daughters, right?
Awkî merro, hukmî merro lawa d bê, l qîza nabe. Maxsed hekî heye. The mother of a man, the rule of a man is through sons, not through daughters. That is the intention of the story.
Êwa ha, ey de kezeb giya yek e. That's right, yes, the liver [love/offspring] is all one.
Kezeb kezeb e. Liver is liver [Meaning: All children are dear].
Her kesî lî ma sêr dikin, tikenê vêra silama bişîne. Everyone watching us, you can send greetings to them.
Û çi dilî te d hey tikenê bibêjî. Û çi dilî te d xozî tikenê bidenkî b gotina. And whatever is in your heart you can say. And whatever your heart wishes, you can give voice to it in words.
Silavê min ji hemû milletê Kurdî re dengî dînê, bi suretî... My greetings to the entire Kurdish nation, my voice goes out, speedily...
Wed hezir û, edil welata, û li bajara, û li... l binê dinê. And those present, and inside the country, and in the cities, and at... at the bottom of the world.
Silavê min ji giya re hene. Em serkeftinê ji giya re d xozin. My greetings are to all of them. We wish success for all of them.
