Rojbaş, delalên me. Good day, our dear ones.

Ji bernameya we, bernameya "Gund û Welat"... Of your program, the "Village and Country" program...
Ez Rûliyan Hec Ehmed me. I am Ruliyan Hec Ehmed.
Û vê carê jî me berê xwe da navçeya Bilbilê. And this time we headed to the Bilbil district.
Û bi taybet... gundê jê ra dibêjin Alî Kero. And specifically... the village they call Ali Kero.
Em hatin gund, em ê derbasî gund bibin. We came to the village, we will enter the village.
Em ê xelkê gund nas bikin, tiştên li vê derê nas bikin. We will get to know the people of the village, and get to know the things here.
Bi me re bimînin û li me temaşe bikin. Stay with us and watch us.

Destpêkê... ez dixwazim ji te bipirsim... First... I want to ask you...
Navê Alî Kero ji ku derê hatiye? Em zanibin nav ji ku hatiye. Where did the name Ali Kero come from? Let us know where the name came from.
Navê Alî Kero... The name Ali Kero...
Berê... yê ku hatiye gund şîn kiriye, navê xwe Alî bû. In the past... the one who came and founded the village, his name was Ali.
Û qulaxê xwe giran bû... And his hearing was hard (he was deaf)...
Vê ra digot... nav lê nan, eylê ker, bi xwe gundê xwe şîn kir. They called him... they named him "Ali the Deaf", he founded his own village.
Qulaxê xwe giran bû... His hearing was hard...
Qulaxê xwe giran bû, ew loma vê re dibên Alî Kero. His hearing was hard, that's why they call him Ali Kero.
Eywa, eylê ker... gundê xwe bi navê xwe nav kir. Yes, deaf Ali... he named his village after himself.
Haho. Ku em bêjin kesê destpêkê... Ah. If we say the first person...
Eywa, kesê destpêkê hatiye... Yes, the first person who came...
Wî gund ava kir. He built the village.
Wî gund ava kir eywa. He built the village, yes.
Gundê we berî bi çiqas salan ava bûye, ku em bêjin? Your village was built how many years ago, if we can say?
Gundê me, xetere nizanim bi çiqas sal e. Our village, frankly I don't know how many years.
Şeş-heft sed sal e, ewqas. It's six-seven hundred years, that much.
Hhm. Pir qedîm e. Hhm. It's very old.
Pir qedîm e. It's very old.
Malbatên destpêkê hatine, tê bîra te kî ne? Yan em bêjin kal û bavên te ew hewilan dane. The first families who came, do you remember who they are? Or let's say your ancestors provided those efforts.
Malbatên ko hatine gund... The families that came to the village...
Elî bi xwe hatiye... Ali came himself...
Belê. Yes.
Elî jî bapîrê me ye. Ali is our grandfather.
Bapîrê me ye. He is our grandfather.
Û em jî jê zêde bûn, em toremên wî ne. And we multiplied from him, we are his descendants.
Belê. Yes.
Û elhemdulillah heta naha jî... paşê jî... malbatên ko gundê me jî... And thank God until now... and then... the families in our village...
Em sê malbat in. We are three families.

Belê. Yes.
Ji bo ku, wekî ku te got Elî hat, Elî ji ku bi xwe derê hatiye? Because, as you said Ali came, where did Ali himself come from?
Em nizanin gellek, em dibêjin ji Çiyayê Gewr hatiye... We don't know much, they say he came from Çiyayê Gewr...
Em nabin em teqez nakin, em nizanin bi temamî. We can't be sure, we don't know exactly.
Wisa digotin. That's what they said.
Lênê gundê me, li wê kêlekê jî navê Alî Kero li wir jî heye. But our village, on that side (of the border) there is also the name Ali Kero there.
Ji wir hicret bûne, hatine vê derê çima? They emigrated from there, came here, why?
Çima hatin em wê nizanin. Why they came, we don't know that.
Ew e... em nizanin pê. That's it... we don't know it.
Hin, gundê xwişk li Tirkiyê heye? There is a sister village in Turkey?
Gundê xwişk li Tirkiyê heye. There is a sister village in Turkey.
Hhm. Yanî ne tenê li vê derê, li wê derê jî êlên we, Tirkiyê jî eynî hene? Hhm. So not only here, but your tribes are also there, in Turkey?
Bi eynî navî. Li Tirkiyê jî hene, ey. With the same name. They are in Turkey too, yes.
Paşê ew ji wê derê şîn bûn, elhemdulileh... Then they multiplied from there, thank God...
Bi piranî ew ji hev cida bûn, em tormên wî ne. Mostly they separated, we are his descendants.
Hhm. Çiqas hejmara malên gund hene, em bêjin? Hhm. What is the number of households in the village, let's say?
Niha? Niha em heştê û pênc mal, ji gund in. Now? Now we are eighty-five houses, from the village.
Û çiqas kes tê de hene? And how many people are in it?
Î... çar sed, pênc sed şexs... pênc sed hene. Um... four hundred, five hundred people... there are five hundred.

Xalê Nûrî, kêş me re behsa gundê xwe dîn bikî. Gundiyê we bi çi navdar in? Uncle Nuri, please tell us about your village. What are your villagers famous for?

Karê we yê gund. Your village work.
Karê me cotkarî ye. Our work is farming.
Belê. Yes.
Exlebiyê xwe ser erdê xwe zeytûn in. Cotkarî ne. Most of it on our land is olives. They are farmers.

Zeytûnên xwe hene, rezên xwe hene. They have their olives, they have their vineyards.
Bîstanliqa xwe heye. They have their melon fields.
Û qismekî jî dewarên xwe hene... And some also have their livestock...
Pez e... It's sheep...
Ga heger tu berê bêjî, berê çêlek bûn, çêlek niha nemane, pez in. Cows, if you talked about the past, there used to be cows, there are no cows now, it's sheep.
Mî ye, dihewinin. Bizin e, dihewinin. It's sheep, they keep them. It's goats, they keep them.
Va na ne em bi wan dixebitin. These are what we work with.
Dexl û der ji vir û diçînin, an na? Do you plant crops (wheat/barley) here, or not?
Dexl na wo. Erdê me gişt bi rê ket zeytûn in. Crops, no. All our land has become olives.
Dexl nema ye. Berê... me nîsk diçandin. Nok diçandin. Ceh diçandin. There are no more crops. In the past... we planted lentils. We planted chickpeas. We planted barley.
Ê niha jî, gişt bûye dar. And now, it has all become trees.
Belê. Yes.
Xalê min meselê ava cem we çawa ye? Av heye tenê an tune ye? My uncle, how is the water situation with you? Is there water alone or isn't there?
Ava me elhemdulilah, rind bû ye. Our water, thank God, has been good.
Milet... hatin de vê eqtê da, bîr kolan. Hmm.
Milet... hatin de vê eqtê da, bîr kolan. The people... came in this period, they dug wells.
Bîr kolan, tehsîlî bo avê kirin. They dug wells, they made provision for water.
Berê av bo xwe ji ku derê dianîn? In the past, where did they get water for themselves?
Av ji bîrên erdan dihat. Water came from the ground wells.
Oviya konî ye dar diki. The spring water used to come out.
Hhm. Em werin li... mewzûê xedemat û miweselatê li gund. Hhm. Let's come to... the issue of services and transportation in the village.
Çi muweselat, çi xedemat ji gund re heye? Çi jê re kêm e, em bêjin? What transportation, what services are there for the village? What is lacking for it, let's say?
Ê... jê re kêm... Rêyên me xerabe ne. Um... what's lacking... Our roads are bad.
Hmm. Hmm.
Zehmetiya we di rêyê da heye. You have difficulty on the road.
Rê... zehmetiya rê... lê xerabe ye. Road... the difficulty of the road... is that it is bad.
Di dema ezmê de jî, rêyên gelek deran xerabe bûn. During the crisis too, the roads in many places became bad.
Em daxwaz dikin ku hinekî... me re... alîkariyê bikin... We request that a little... they give us... assistance...
Da ew êdî kesî... dilê vî derî tenê nê... So that no one... feels sad here...
Na ev azmeya me hîna... li ser hev de ye... Înşelleh wê çêkin. No, this crisis of ours is still... ongoing... God willing they will fix it.
Înşelleh. God willing.
Elhemdulillah, makîneyên me hene, erebe hene. Em... ne mohtacî... Thank God, we have vehicles, we have cars. We... are not in need...
Makîneyên derve na. De îşê me pê derbas dibe... We don't need outside vehicles. Well, our work gets done with them...
Em diherine û tên. We come and go.
Ku em bêjin milletekî daxwaz bike biçe meselen Efrînê, ji vê derê... xwendekar hene diçin derhe... derên ku diçin bixwînin, çawa diçin? Let's say a person wants to go, for example, to Afrin from here... there are students who go out... to places where they go to study, how do they go?
Serwîs... makîneyên me hene derê hene, qismekî xwendekarên kû diçine xwendinê. Bi Efrînê de diçine. Services... we have vehicles to go out, a portion of students who go to study. They go to Afrin.
Dan... Qestelê Xidro de diçine mektebê li wî derê... Taben mekteba me li vê derê, sefa yekê heta şeşan heye. They go... they go to school in Qestelê Xidro... Of course, our school here is from first grade to sixth.

Gund ji hudûdê Tirkiyê gellekî... nêzîk e. The village is very... close to the Turkish border.
Em lê... em serxet in, bahs em liser... sînor in. We are... we are on the border, meaning we are on the... border.
Belê. Çi bandor... Yes. What impact...
Çi bandoreke em bêjin, vê nêzîkbûnê heye? What impact, let's say, does this closeness have?
Bandorên... girêdayî... gundiya me... The impacts... concerning... our villagers...
Wekî tiştek însanek herra tiştekî kar milletek nakin. Like, a person goes, they do no harm to people.
Hhm. Hhm.
Berî zemê da dûr bû. Before the crisis, it was far.
Belê. Yes.
Di vê ezmê de... gihîşt me da nêzîk kir. Heta ku hatin... cema me da hatin. During this crisis... it reached us, made it close. So much that they came... they came to us.
Berî hundirê me teyyar dûr bû. Before, our inside (border) was very far.
Yanî ku ji berê da, em zanin... gundê we... li ser hudûdê Tirkiyê bû, yan... mimkun bes têlek di navbera we da hebû. Çûyîn û hatina te d'ezmeyê da nêzîk bû... te bi wa... So from before, we know... your village... was on the Turkish border, meaning... maybe there was just a wire between you. The coming and going during the crisis got closer... you with them...
Na wê... na dîwarê xwe pêştir ew anîn çêkirin. No, they... no, they brought and built their wall further ahead.
Hmm. Hmm.
Ji ber vê... ji Sûriyê da hinekî hatin. Yes.
Ji ber vê... ji Sûriyê da hinekî hatin. Because of this... they came a bit into Syria.
Cih heye sêsed metreyan hatine, cih heye pêncsed metreyan hatine, cih heye dused metreyan hatine... There are places they came in three hundred meters, places five hundred meters, places two hundred meters...
Van jî erdên millet çûn lê neçûn? Did people's lands go in these or not?
Di qismekî çûn lê. In a portion, they did go.
Hhm. Hhm.
Yekî qismekî çû. A portion of someone's did go.
Bes zirarî xwe, heta niha em nedîtin. But we haven't seen any harm from it, until now.
Belê. Yes.
Wî awayî... em her kes karê xwe, malê xwe, îşê xwe dibîne. In that way... everyone looks after their own work, their own house, their own business.
Belê. Yes.
Em rehet in nuha, elhemdulillah bereket e. Gelo bi ezmên serî ... em rind in înşellah. We are comfortable now, thank God, there are blessings. Since the beginning of the crisis... we are well, God willing.
Çi cihên kevin, cihên cema, heye li gund? Em bêjin, cihên dirokî, ê kevnar? Tiştên kevin... What old places, public gathering places, are there in the village? Let's say, historical places, ancient? Old things...
Tiştên da kevin... As for old things...
Aha... Çi cema li gund? Aha... What public places in the village?
Erê... erê... eyn şiklekî kevn... mesela... em diçin goristana kevin e... lê çi kevn heye, çi ciyê kevin cema... Yes... yes... in an old way... for example... we go to the old cemetery... but what old thing is there, what old public place...
Welle yarabî em nizanim... tiştên bawer nakim... me tenê... cem hete na. Well by God I don't know... things I don't think so... we only... don't have public places.
Em bêjin, tiştekî, piştî gundiyê we tenas kirin, yanî...? Let's say, something, after your villagers get to know it, meaning...?
Dema em dibêjin, gundê Alî Kero, dixe bîra te...? When we say, the village of Ali Kero, it reminds you of...?
Bê vî tiştî te bîra te? Without this thing you remember?
Di wê derê cem me... ziwiyê giran heye. Em dibêjin "Girê Zaîr" yan "Ziyaretê"... Over there with us... there is an important shrine. We say "Girê Ziyaret" or "Shrine"...
Li gundî bi giştî du girên me yên girîng da hene. In the village in general we have two important hills.
Ê te go ew ziwiyê giran in... And as you said those are important shrines...
...ev tiştekî me'rûf e. ...this is a known thing.
Gundê wê ye? Is it that village?
Ew u tiştê din... gundê me û Ze'rê... That and the other thing... our village and Ze'rê...

...kû bi te gotin ziyaretên giran, tu diçî ew aliyê... ...if they told you about the important shrines, you go to that side...
Çima we re dibêjin ziviyê giran? Why do they call them important shrines?
Cihê... darên daristanî yên ha hebûn... A place... there were these forest trees...
Û cihê... mezin e. And it's a place... that is big.
Naha çima ku çêkirin... ji we re dibêjin ziyaretên giran. Now because they built it... they call them important shrines for you.
Hûn ji tê de erdê xudan in, na? You are also land owners in it, right?
Em jî di ortê da ne. We are also in the middle of it.
Belê. Yes.
Ev ji gundên Helebê de dihatin. They even came from the villages of Aleppo.
Ji Helebê de xoyt dihatin. They used to come straight from Aleppo.
Îrtîfa gundê me, lê... The elevation of our village, is...
Hezar û sêsed.. sêsed ji irtifa bahrê ye. It is one thousand three hundred... three hundred meters above sea level.
Ji vê tiştê de, dibên girekî çi, girekî mezin e. Yes.
Ji vê tiştê de, dibên girekî çi, girekî mezin e. For this reason, they say what a hill, it is a big hill.

Belê. Temaşevanên me yî hêja. Niha em li nav gundê Elî Qaro ne. Em hatin bin darekî, vê ra dibêjin darê çinarê. Yes. Our esteemed viewers. We are currently in the village of Elî Qaro. We came under a tree, they call this a plane tree.
Ji darên herî kevnar yê vê gundî ye. Dibêjin ku gelek tişt di vê darê bûne. It is one of the oldest trees in this village. They say many things have happened by this tree.
Gelek dawet, gelek şahî. Em ê niha derbasî cem xalo bibin, û em ê ji wî ra li ser darê bipirsin. Many weddings, many celebrations. We will now go to the uncle, and we will ask him about the tree.
Merhaba xalo. Hello, uncle.
Merhaba, ser çava re hatin. Hello, you are very welcome.
Em te nas bikin? May we know you?
Ez Ebdilhekîmê Numan Merna me, ji gundê Elî Qaro me. Niha em li bin vê darê ne. I am Ebdilhekîmê Numan Merna, I am from the village of Elî Qaro. We are currently under this tree.
Te jimar re got, te got gelek em kêfxweş bûn berê, bin vê darê me gelek tişt kirine. Destpêkê dixwazim bizanibim, temenê darê? Çiqas e? You told us, you said we used to be very happy here, we did many things under this tree. First I want to know, the age of the tree? How old is it?
Dar bi xwe ne tê bîra kalê min jî, ne yê bavkalê min jî. The tree itself, neither my grandfather remembers it, nor my great-grandfather.
Yanî em bibêjin 400 sal belkî zêdetir e jî. Hîngê ev gund li vê derê qirmiç bûye. So we can say 400 years or perhaps even more. When this village was established here.
Heft dar e ev. Heft dar e. Dar wateyî çinar e. There are seven trees. Seven trees. A tree meaning plane tree.
Dar jê pir mezin bûye, sê niqil jê veqetiyaye. The tree has grown very big, three branches have separated from it.
Belê. Tebaen evkî emrê xwe çû. Mîna benî adam, kal dibe. Yes. Naturally, its life has passed. Just like humans, it gets old.
Kal dibe, ev de... şaxên wî teşqandin. It gets old, so... its branches withered.
Li bin vê darê, te jimar re behs kir, te got gelek çîrok û gelek tişt hene. Dixwazim bizanibim çi ne ku ew çîrokan? Under this tree, you mentioned to us, you said there are many stories and many things. I want to know what those stories are?
Dawet li vê darê dibin. Dawetên gundê me, ew gundên dûr jî dihatin vê darê. Berê... Weddings take place by this tree. Weddings of our village, those far villages used to come to this tree as well. In the past...
Kalê min xeberdida, digot çaxa dawetek li vê darê bû, axa jî mezin bû, belkî 60-70 salin. My grandfather used to say, he said when there was a wedding by this tree, the aghas were great too, maybe 60-70 years ago.
Wî çaxî fîşekek ketiye. Qulikek heye, dibêjin wî qul e... yanî pîk. At that time a bullet fell. There is a hole, they call it a hole... meaning a peak.
Darekî kî dihat... mir, e rehma te tî da. Someone came from the tree... he died, may God have mercy on him.
Di wê dawetê de, di wê darê de mir? Did he die during that wedding, by that tree?
Kalê me xeber dida. Di wê darê de mir, û dawet wê bibe dîsa jî, ne sekinîn. Our grandfather used to say. He died by that tree, and the wedding continued again, they didn't stop.
Roja îda, tê bîra min, me dawet li vê darê dikir, me hêlik çêdikirin. On the day of Eid, I remember, we would celebrate by this tree, we would make swings.
Hêlik, dawetên îdan? Swings, Eid celebrations?
Hêlik dikirin, me çatma çêdikir. We made swings, we built structures.
Ji banek xaniyan ta banek xaniyekî din, me taxe datanî. From the roof of one house to the roof of another house, we laid a swing.
Şênî gund gişt dihatin bin vê darê bû, ser îda. All the villagers would come under this tree, during Eid.
Û havînê jî de wusa bû, milet dihatin bin vê darê. And in the summer it was like that too, people came under this tree.
Av hebû, av li darê de nuhka... şeş xan... pirr av hebû wî çaxî... nuhka bîr kolandin, lewre av kêm bûye. There was water, water by the tree... there was a lot of water at that time... now they dug wells, so the water has decreased.
Kanî hebû. There was a spring.
Kanî hebû di vir re av dibir. There was a spring running through here.
Xalo te behsa dawetê kir, te got me li vê derê dawet çêdikirin... wek ku ez dibînim, mesaha piçûk e. Uncle, you mentioned weddings, you said we used to organize weddings here... as I can see, the space is small.
Çawa dawet li vî derê çêdibû? How were weddings held here?
Mesaha piçûk e, ew çax millet jî hindik bû. The space is small, back then the population was also small.
Millet jî ne wek niha bû. The population wasn't like now.
Wê çaxê çar gund, bûn wek gundek niha nebû. At that time four villages, were not even like one village now.
Em bibêjin vî gundî sê mal bû. Niha bûn nod mal, temam? Let's say this village had three houses. Now it's ninety houses, okay?
Her gundek sê mal bû, niha bûn sed mal. Temam. Every village was three houses, now they are a hundred houses. Okay.
Li bin vê darê pak dikirin. Rê wisa, pak dikirin, û doşek datînan. They would clean under this tree. The path like this, they would clean it, and lay down mattresses.
Cil radixistin, doşek datînan, li vê derê dawet dibûn. They would lay down rugs, place mattresses, and weddings were held here.
Pir nedûr e ku daweta birakê min li vê darê bû, vê darê me cil radixist, li vî darî em dawet dikir, li ser keviran. It's not too long ago that my brother's wedding was by this tree, we laid rugs by this tree, we held the wedding by this tree, on the rocks.
Tebaen delîb tune bû, av delîb li vî darê tune bû. Of course there was no watermill, there was no watermill by this tree.
Te got berî delîbê tiştek din hebû. You said before the watermill there was something else.
Berî delîbê ew hebû. Ev jî tê bîra min em biçûk bûn, li vê darê dan dikelandin. Before the watermill there was that. I also remember we were small, they used to boil wheat by this tree.
Dan? Wheat?
Dan, belê dan. Dibirin ser wê dêmî re jor... xan e. Wheat, yes wheat. They would take it up to that field... the flat area.
Şûna xanî gundiyan. Her kes şal vedikir, hişk dikirin û dan bin wê darê. Where the villagers' houses are. Everyone would spread a cloth, dry it and put it under that tree.
Tabî ne me, mezinên me, bav û kalên me. Em biçûk bûn, me dilîst, em lîstik dikirin bi hev re. Of course not us, our elders, our fathers and grandfathers. We were small, we played, we played games together.
Wê derê sûq e. Over there is a mortar.
Li darê jor? By the upper tree?
Darê jor e sûq. Sûq hebû wî derê. By the upper tree is the mortar. There was a mortar there.
Bi darikek mezin hebû, dikutan. Û ewa bend bû... bi bendan dikişandin... There was a big stick, they would pound. And there was a rope... they pulled with ropes...
Bi bendan wisa radikirin, datanî, radikirin. Ewan digotin... paşê delîb derket. With ropes they lifted it like that, put it down, lifted it. They used to say... then the watermill came.
Wê... dixe... weha dibe... It... hits... it goes like this...
Ewa dixe... weha... paşî delîb derket. It hits... like this... then the watermill came out.
Belê. Yes.
Ew jî teqrîben 20 sal e. That's also about 20 years ago.
Delîb bi elektrîkê bû? Was the watermill running on electricity?
Na, elektrîk tune bû. No, there was no electricity.
Tu dibêjî delîb yan sûq? Are you saying the watermill or the mortar?
Delîb ji sûqê rehettir e. Sûq zortir e. The watermill is easier than the mortar. The mortar is harder.
Wî demî... wek te dît ... wisa ... da elektirîk ket. Zana me dît ku ev qewet e. At that time... as you saw... then electricity came. We saw that this is power.
Em werin ser dawetê. Te got daweta te. Let's get to the wedding. You mentioned your wedding.
Daweta min li vê darê bû, li vê darê me daweta xwe kir. Em li bin vî darê rûniştin, me raqisîn, govend, dîlan... My wedding was by this tree, we had our wedding by this tree. We sat under this tree, we danced, round dance, celebration...
Hemû bi hev re rûniştin... We all sat together...
Tiştên ku tu ji bîr nekî ji wê dawetê? Things that you can't forget from that wedding?
Na, jinik rûniştin, milet bi me re henek kirin... No, women sat down, the people joked with us...
Henek an hine we bi çi dikir? Jokes or what did you do the henna with?
Hineya adî bû. Hineya xwe, wextê berê... bi çepikan, bi def û zirne, me dawet kir. It was simple henna. Our henna, in the old times... with clapping, with drums and zurna, we held a wedding.
Milet pir bû. Em hatin, me li bin vê darê daweta xwe kir. The crowd was huge. We came, and had our wedding under this tree.
Daweta xwe te çend rojan kir? How many days did your wedding last?
Wî demê dawet du roj bû. Gundî tev dihatin. At that time a wedding lasted two days. All villagers would come.
Xwendevanên we dihatin... Your guests would come...
Dawet du roj bû. Pêncşemê xwendî dihatin. Gundê derdorê dihatin dawetê. The wedding was two days. On Thursday guests came. The surrounding villages came to the wedding.
Em şîv didan, me xwarin çêdikir, goşt û keşek. Û xwendî dixwarin. We served dinner, we cooked food, meat and wheat porridge. And the guests would eat.
Her tişt pak bû wî wextî. Nuhka ev tişt nemane. Everything was pure at that time. Now these things don't exist anymore.
Xwarina ewa me dida... berê xwarin wek çi bû... The food we served... what was the food like back then...
Berê me li vir xwarina dida mêvanên xwe, em tev bi hev re rûdiniştin. In the past, we served food to our guests here, we all sat together.
Nuhka li bin vê darê, an darên din jî... Now under this tree, or other trees too...
Nuhka bin vê darê... tiştek bêtirs nîne. Gund tew dibêjin ziyaret e, ditirsin. Now under this tree... it is not without fear. The whole village says it's a sacred site, they are afraid.
Tu jê ditirsî an... Are you afraid of it or...
Em jê natirsin e... em rûdinên, lê dibêjin em ditirsin. We are not afraid of it... we sit there, but they say we are afraid.
Ez nabêjim ez nêzîk nabim, em rûdinên li binê, belê. I don't say I don't go near it, we sit underneath it, yes.
Gundî ji çi ditirsiyan? What were the villagers afraid of?
Ditirsiyan e... gundî ditirsin ku tiştek hebe, dibêjin ziyaret e. They were afraid... villagers are afraid there might be something, they say it's a sacred site.
Dîroka gund wisa ye, tirs ketiye nav. Jinik hene wisa ditirsin. The village's history is like that, fear has set in. There are women who are scared like that.
Nuhka jê heye tirs? Is there fear of it now?
Nuhka na, ziyaret e, lê em dîsa rêz digirin. Ez tiştekî wisa jê nabirim. Not now, it's a sacred site, but we still respect it. I don't cut anything off it.
Qut nakim, em natirsin, lê ziyaret e. I don't cut anything off, we aren't afraid, but it is a sacred site.
A weha, hûn zanin ku... niha em... xuşkê... min kefa xwe da te, bimeş. Sipas ji bo te, tu dikarî bêjî xatirê te. Like this, you know... now we... sister... I gave you a high five, let's go. Thank you, you can say goodbye.
Bi xatirê te. Goodbye.
Xatirê te. Goodbye.

Xalo tu per derdixe, per li vê derê heye? Gundî dibêjin tişt tune... Uncle, you bring out money, is there money here? The villagers say there is nothing...
Gundî dibêjin sêv dibin, rez dibin, zeytûn. The villagers say there are apples, vineyards, olives.
Te digot zeytûnê bilbilê... Jêk cuda ye. You were saying olives of the nightingale... It's different.
Na me jî maşallah bostanê me xweşik in. Lê... em nedikarin li derve kar bikin. Ne wek berê... em diçin derve. Em... me bi tecrûbeyên xwe gelek tişt dîtine... ne wek berê, em diçin. Em rojane kar dikin û diçin malên xwe. Welleh... ne berekettirîn tişt e. No, we also have mashallah beautiful gardens. But... we couldn't work outside. Not like before... we go outside. We... we have seen many things with our experiences... not like before, we go. We work daily and go to our homes. Well... it's not the most blessed thing.
Ev e, hewşa te? This is it, your yard?
Ev e dîmena, maşallah maşallah. Ev e dîmena... yanî sêwirandina vê derê, tu çêkiriye, wilo? Mashallah.
Ev e dîmena, maşallah maşallah. Ev e dîmena... yanî sêwirandina vê derê, tu çêkiriye, wilo? This is the view, mashallah mashallah. This is the view... meaning the design of this place, you made it, right?
Ew... berî bîst salan me çêkiribû. That... we made it twenty years ago.
Lê ev çend sal in em bi vî tiştî re dijîn, lê em fêhm nakin ew çi ye. Li van amûran binêre... te ji van amûran... te çi çêkir? But we have been living with this thing for so many years, but we don't understand what it is. Look at these tools... you from these tools... what did you make?
Min... di sala 2011'an de min ev hewş çêkir. 10.000... 10.000 e. Û min bi xwe re... me xwest... me xwest em perçeyek ji vê derê... yanî em yek derî, yek mal be, dar be... bes dilê min çi dixwaze, ez dikarim. I... in the year 2011 I made this yard. 10,000... it's 10,000. And I myself... we wanted... we wanted to take a piece of this place... meaning one door, one house, a tree... whatever my heart desires, I can.
Em herin derbasî nav bostan bin, me dît. Me duh her weha dîmena nav bostanê. Ev hewşa min e, xelkên min hemû sor in. Em lê dinêrin, di hundirê de. Çawa ew dîmen... min dixwest ez ji te re bêjim... ev xweşik e xalo, maşallah te hewşeka xweşik heye. Let's go pass into the garden, we saw. We also saw the view of the garden yesterday. This is my yard, all my people are red. We are looking at it, inside. How is that view... I wanted to tell you... this is beautiful uncle, mashallah you have a beautiful yard.
Sipas. Tiştek din gerek e? Thank you. Do you need anything else?
Erê. Kerem bikin em derbas bin. Ya Allah. Yes. Please let's pass. Oh God.
Ev çi ye xalo? What is this uncle?
Ev milûxiyê ye. This is molokhia.
Ev e, heya dawiyê, ew dar e, ew çi ye? This is it, until the end, that tree, what is it?
Ew kerez e. Kerez. Û ewên din, ew jî... em dixwazin... em nekarin tiştên din jî bikin. Ev e ya xwemalî. Ew çawa ne? That is cherry. Cherry. And the others, they are also... we want... we can't do other things either. This is the local one. How are they?
Ev... me çêkir... em şitlan çêdikin... me şitlan çêkir, lê erd bi me re naxwazin... This... we made... we make seedlings... we made seedlings, but the earth doesn't want with us...
Hûn dixwazin em biçin li erdê? Em ji derve, erdê dixebitin. Maşallah, heya niha, rast e. Wek ku we gotiye. Xiyar in, tiştên din... Xiyar, îsot, filfil... tiştên weha, çi ne, hemû xiyar û tiştên weha ne. Maşallah. Do you want us to go to the field? We work the field from the outside. Mashallah, until now, it is true. As you said. Cucumbers, other things... Cucumbers, peppers, peppers... things like that, what are they, all cucumbers and things like that. Mashallah.
Xalo... ev ava we... bi şêwazekî... hûn çawe dinêrin, lîreyên hûn didin ji bo avê? Uncle... this your water... in a way... how do you look, the liras you give for water?
Ew tenê ye. Ew av, ne wilo ye. Ev av, tenê ye. Tenê av e, em bîr in. Ev bîr in. That is alone. That water, it is not like that. This water, it is alone. It is only water, we are wells. These are wells.
Em ji bîr in, em dizanin, ne zêde. Mashallah.
Em ji bîr in, em dizanin, ne zêde. We are from the well, we know, not much.
Tiştên mezin weha hene. Maşallah. There are big things like this. Mashallah.
Em nizanin. We don't know.
Zêdetir hene? Ewan jî biber in, ne? Ewan kûçan ne? Are there more? Those are also peppers, right? Those are zucchini, right?
Ewên dî jî kus in, erê. The others are also zucchini, yes.
Ew kûse. Ew... ewên we çendin hene? That zucchini. That... how many of those do you have?
Ev me 20 heb çandiye... yanî nêzîkî... ew nîne. Ev jî bexdenûz in. We planted 20 of this... meaning about... it's not. These are also parsley.
Xalo, gava hûn naxwazin, em nekarin tiştan çêbikin. Nizanin, tişt nakin... gava ku em kar nakin, em tiştekî nakin. Mashallah.
Xalo, gava hûn naxwazin, em nekarin tiştan çêbikin. Nizanin, tişt nakin... gava ku em kar nakin, em tiştekî nakin. Uncle, when you don't want to, we can't make things. They don't know, they don't do things... when we don't work, we don't do anything.
Xalo, bostanek di nav hewşê de çêkir, ew hewşek din e. Werin em lê binêrin ka çi afirandin hene. Werin ka em binêrin. Uncle, he made a garden in the yard, that is another yard. Let's see what creations are there. Let's see.
Ewên me hene, me çandiye, me dîsa rezên zeytûnan çandiye. We have those, we planted, we planted olive vineyards again.
Noke, ev rez? Now, this vineyard?
Erê. Ew jî, baçîk e, ew... ev jî xiyar e. Ew jî milûxye ye. Binêre, ev jî biber e. Baçîkên reş in, me nû çandiye. Yes. That is also, tomatoes, that... this is also cucumber. That is also molokhia. Look, this is also pepper. They are black eggplants, we just planted them.
Lê we li kûderê ev çandin? But where did you plant these?
Baçîkên reş in, baçîkên sor jî hene. Ewên biber in. Ma em dikarin biçînin? They are black eggplants, there are red eggplants too. Those are peppers. Can we plant them?
Xalo te ev îsot pir çandiye, xêr e? Uncle, you have planted a lot of these peppers, why?
Îsot... em hez dikin. Dimsên wê em jî çêdikin, lê dikin... em qet dimsên îsotan... Peppers... we like them. We also make its molasses, but we put it... we never pepper molasses...
Sa xuyaye hûn tiştekî sar vedixwin yan hûn ne sar vedixwin? Cemaeta we gelekî îsot dixwin? It seems you drink something cold or you don't drink cold? Your group eats a lot of peppers?
Na, sor e. No, it's red.
Temaşevanên me yên hêja, niha ez tiştekî dibêjim... Min dît ku li vir gelek îsot têne xwarin. Gundên ser bi navçeya Bilbilê ve piranî ji îsotê hez dikin. Delîl jî... min dît ku ew bişîva xwe... heta bişîvekî jî ew bi îsotê tijî dikin. Our dear viewers, now I will say something... I saw that a lot of peppers are eaten here. The villages connected to the Bilbile district mostly like peppers. The proof is also... I saw that their food... even a food they fill it with peppers.
Ya na... ew xwîna... şalwêran... derdikevin. Ev ji tenduristiya mirovan re pir tiştek baş e. Ya ku... îsot, çi qas sor be, her weha diyar e... Îsot, çi qas dîms, di nav de... çi hişkbûn, di nav de... ev e ku... hevalno... Well no... that blood... pants... come out. This is a very good thing for people's health. That which... pepper, no matter how red it is, it is also obvious... Pepper, how much molasses, in it... what drying, in it... this is what... friends...
Hetta tiştek din ez ji te dipirsim... Di gundan de te dît, ew îsota sor didin... ew jî şêrîn, şêrîn... Lê ev gund hemî tûj dixwin. Çima hûn dibêjin? Even another thing I ask you... In the villages you saw, they give that red pepper... that is also sweet, sweet... But this village all eats spicy. Why do you say?
Ew îsot... em tûj dixwin. Na, na ew ne şêrîn, na. Deva we jî ne şêrîn e. Ew we... weha difikirin, ev dibe... ev çawa dibe yek... That pepper... we eat spicy. No, no that is not sweet, no. Your mouth is not sweet either. That you... think like that, this happens... how does this become one...
Mêde dinale, dibe yek. Stomach groans, becomes one.
Destên te sax bin, qewet be. Welleh ev tişt gelek baş e. Bless your hands, strength be with you. Well this thing is very good.

Merheba xaltîk. Hello auntie.
Ehlen wesehlen. Welcome.
Tu çawa yî? How are you?
Elhemdullilah. Tu çawa yî? Thank God. How are you?
Elhemdullilah. Merheba xaltîk. Thank God. Hello auntie.
Kanî kursiya xwe bide pêşî me rûnê. Where is your chair, bring it to the front, sit.
Qamere kanî pêşî min weke. Qamere çîye? Let the camera come in front of me. What is the camera?
Ne bîber e ne? It's not pepper, is it?
Na ew biber e, ehlen wesehlen, em te nasbikin, xaltîk? No, it is pepper, welcome, let's get to know you, auntie?
Ehlan wa sahlan. Welcome.
Navê gundê we çi ye xaltîk? What is the name of your village, auntie?
Elya Caro. Elya Caro.
Elya Caro. Min dît te li vir derê te qartonek raxistiye, tu çi dikî? Mêweyê wek mînak tu hişk dikî? Elya Caro. I saw you laid out a carton here, what are you doing? Are you drying fruits, for example?
Bîber in, ne bîber in. Dîkan e, manê me got em hişk bikin. They are peppers, no they are not peppers. It's from the store, I mean, we decided to dry them.
Tu wê çi jê bikî, dema hişk bibe? What will you make out of it, when it dries?
Na ez ê raxînim, li ber rojê. No, I will lay it out, in the sun.
Û piştî hişk bû tu yê çi jê bikî? And after it dries, what will you make out of it?
Em ê kom bikin. Bebin hundir. Bîberan hişk bikin. We will gather it. Bring it inside. Dry the peppers.
Û xeynî wê tu çi karî dikî li gund? And besides that, what work do you do in the village?
Li gund em bi kaniyê, avê dikişînin. Av tune ye, beriya avê me dikişand. Em ava kaniyê, niha hişk bûye, em avê dikişînin... In the village, we haul water from the spring. There is no water, we used to haul water before. We haul water from the spring, now it's dried up...
Noka kaniya we... wek min dîtî kaniya we... wek kaniya Xelîl Ako hişk e? Now your spring... as I saw your spring... is it dry like the spring of Xelîl Ako?
Erê kaniya me ye. Kaniyeke mezin e lê hişk e. Yes, it is our spring. It is a big spring, but it is dry.
Çawa ne, hûn bi çi avê dikişînin? How is it, what do you haul the water with?
Em bi satilan dikişînin. We haul it with buckets.
Av nêzîk e, hûn dikişînin yan dûr e? Is the water close by, where you haul it from, or is it far?
Na cihê wê nêzîk e.. tune ye.. No, its place is close by... there isn't any...
Çend wext e ev meseleya we heye? How long have you had this issue?
Bi du mehan e. For two months.
Bêriyê wê av hebû? Did it have water before that?
Bêriyê wê av hebû. Du mehan e qut e. It had water before that. It's been cut off for two months.
Xaltîk te got... wek tu xaltîkê te got tu li ser kaniyê avê dikişînî... Auntie you said... as you said auntie, you haul water from the spring...
Erê ez darim ro ... malê em ji jêr e... em bi kaniyê dikişînin avê... Yes, I go down... our house is below... we haul water with the spring...
Û av hingê we ji ku... And water then you from where...
Av jî tune, em bi sîtilê dikişînin. Em bi sîtilê diçin... diçin avê dikişînin, wextek tê em jin û mêr dibin avê dikişînin. There is no water either, we haul it with a bucket. We go with a bucket... we go to haul water, there's a time we women and men go to haul water.
Noka bi sîtilan dikişînin... kaniya we çima av jê nedihat? ... hûn jê nakişînin? Now you haul with buckets... why wasn't water coming from your spring? ... you don't haul from it?
Na em... qestela wê jêr dikişînin.. No, we... haul from its lower fountain...
Çima kaniya we ha hişk bû? Why did your spring dry up like that?
Çi zanim Xwedê baran nebarand, zivistanê baran tune. What do I know, God didn't make it rain, there was no rain in the winter.
Noka xalo digot... berê kaniya me pir tije av bû... Just now the uncle was saying... in the past our spring was very full of water...
Êlê der û dor hişk in, bîr lê vedan av.. av kêm bû. Çend bîran kaniya... bîran vedan av dikişînin, av dimîne... namîne. The surroundings are dry, they dug wells in it, the water.. the water decreased. Several wells... they dug wells and draw water, does water remain... it doesn't.
Namîne... Kaniya we çiqas kevin e ji berê de heye? It doesn't remain... How old is your spring, has it been there since the past?
Welle ez nizanim. Ez qîza Xelîl Ako me... Ez hatim Elya Caro. By God, I don't know. I am a daughter of Xelîl Ako... I came to Elya Caro.
Ji Xelîl Ako? Ew der nêz e, tu ne ewqas dûr çûyî. From Xelîl Ako? That place is close, you haven't gone that far.
Çil sal in ez hatim ev gund... Hebû. I came to this village forty years ago... It existed.
Û av hingê mezin bû? And was the water plentiful then?
Lê wê çaxê av hebû... gund giş dikişand... dew, rûn û mast.. ma ji hemû tiştê... dikşand. Yes, there was water at that time... the whole village hauled it... buttermilk, butter, and yogurt... they hauled from everything...
Lê noka ew tişt nîne... nîne. But now those things are no more... they are not.
Xaltîk, te got em ava xwe dikişînin. Xeynî wê karê gundî çi ye? Çi dikin? Karê heywan e yan karê mal e? Çi ye? Auntie, you said we haul our water. Besides that, what is the work of the villager? What do they do? Is it animal work or household work? What is it?
Karê malê e, tiştek din. It's household work, nothing else.
Û ne darên zeytûnan, dar û baxçe.. dar û fêkî nînin? And not olive trees, trees and gardens.. aren't there trees and fruits?
Baxçe hebû, nîsanê av tune ye, me av nedan, tune ne. Me tiştek neçand. There was a garden, in April there is no water, we didn't water it, there is none. We didn't plant anything.
Mesele navçeya Bilbilê, em lê dinêrin, bi darên zeytûnan navdar e.. Darên zeytûnê te hene, nînin? For instance, the Bilbil district, as we look at it, is famous for olive trees.. Do you have olive trees, or not?
Erê darên zeytûnê hene. Em darên zeytûnan dibirin... dixebitin. Ew zeytûn in. Em dest pê dikin. Yes, there are olive trees. We prune the olive trees... we work. They are olives. We start working on them.
Çawa derbas dibe.. How does it pass..
Em bi dewar û darên xwe dibirin.. çend xebatkarên xwe hene. Bi traktorê.. We bring our cattle and prune our trees.. we have a few workers. With a tractor..
Hûn zû dest pê dikin sibehê, heta êvarê wextê xwe derbas dikin. You start early in the morning, and spend your time until the evening.
Heta êvarê. Erê. Until the evening. Yes.

Merheba xalo! Çawa ye? Hello, uncle! How is it?
Ahlen wa sehlen! Welcome!
Çawa ye halê te? How are you?
Elhamdulillah, tu çawa yî? Praise be to God, how are you?
Elhemduillah, ez rind im. Tu çi dikî? Praise be to God, I am fine. What are you doing?
Ne tiştek... tu halê me dibînî. Av tune. Em mohtacê vê avê ne. Nothing... you see our situation. There is no water. We are in need of this water.
Hûn avê ji ku dikişînin? Where do you haul the water from?
Em mohtacê vê avê ne xwarzî. We are in need of this water, nephew.
Erê welle xalo. Yes, by God, uncle.
Zehmetiyek mezin we dikişînin meseleya ava... You are experiencing a great difficulty regarding the water issue...
Welleh zehmetî hemû ava.. By God, all the difficulty is the water...
Xaltîk niha digot malên me li jor in.. av tune ye em dikişînin avê ji jêr... Auntie was just saying our houses are above... there is no water, we haul the water from below...
Welleh wisa ye.. welle wisa ye.. By God, it is like that... by God, it is like that...
Ev meseleya... çi çawa bûye.. This issue... how did it happen...
Em çûne we dît, em hatin... em xwestin serdana te bikin.. Gundî bi we re.. gundê Elya Caro ye... We went and saw you, we came... we wanted to visit you.. The villagers with you.. it's the village of Elya Caro...
Ahlen wa sehlen.. Ser seran û ser çavan.. Welcome.. You are upon my head and upon my eyes..
Xelkê gundan nas dikî.. You know the village people..
Ahlen wa sehlen. Em gundê Elya Caro ne.. Ev kaniya Elya Caro ye.. Welcome. We are the village of Elya Caro.. This is the spring of Elya Caro..
Ti caran hişk nabe.. Ev ewil car e ku ev av hişk dibe.. It never dries up.. This is the first time that this water dries up..
Wele wek xelk digotin, kaniya we kaniyek dîrokî ye... Berê we çiqas av jê dikişand? By God, as the people said, your spring is a historical spring... How much water did you use to draw from it?
Emrê we dirêj, em kaniya me pir.. kaniya me tijî bû. May your life be long, our spring was very... our spring was full.
Em mohtacê vê avê ne. Tenê em mohtacê avê ne. Em naxwazin tiştekî.. We are in need of this water. We only need water. We don't want anything..
Sehheta we xweş. Xwedê ji we razî be. Xwedê we bide rûmetê.. May your health be good. May God be pleased with you. May God give you honor..
Xelkên gundên din, qîzên xwe didin vî gundî, ji ber vê kaniyê. Wisa ye? People from other villages give their daughters to this village, because of this spring. Is that so?
Welah. Gundiyên din nedan... Av dihat, derdiket... diçû pêşiya bîstanan. Beriya vê av wisa nedihat... By God. The other villagers didn't give... Water used to flow out... it went towards the gardens. Before this, water didn't come like this...
Noka hûn av nabînin? Now you don't find water?
Welleh.. Welleh, noka av nîne... bi Xwedê em mohtacê vê avê ne... mohtacê vê kaniyê ne... By God.. By God, now there is no water... by God we are in need of this water... in need of this spring...
Em tiştek naxwazin, tenê we avê li me vegerînin.. We don't want anything, just return the water to us...
Ev meseleya saziyên xêrxwaziyê, kesên alîkar, divê werin wek te dîtin... This issue of charitable organizations, helpful people, they should come as they saw you...
Rû bi rû wisa ne.. Face to face they are like that..
Erê.. Wek te digot, gundî bi giştî, ne tenê hûn, ava we tune ye... gundî jî wisa dibêjin. Yes.. As you said, the villagers in general, not just you, your water is gone... the villagers say the same.
Raste... em mohtacê ava xwe ne... It is true... we are in need of our water...
Înşeallah ava we bê careke din. God willing, your water will come once again.
Înşeallah.. Înşeallah wexta we xweş.. av weke berê were, ez ê çavên xwe bidim we.. God willing.. God willing, may your time be good.. if water comes like before, I will give you my eyes..
Welleh, em ne mohtacê tiştekî ne, tenê mohtacê vê kaniyê ne.. By God, we are not in need of anything, we are only in need of this spring..
Saeta te xweş xalo.. em gelek spas dikin... em xatir ji te dixwazin. May your hour be good, uncle.. we thank you very much... we bid you farewell.
Sehheta we xweş, xwedê ji we razî be.. Xwedê we li ser rûyê dinê bihêle... em a rast didin.. May your health be good, may God be pleased with you.. May God keep you on the face of the earth... we tell the truth..
Amîn. Te jî weha be.. Amen. May you be as well..
