When I opened my eyes to the world, there were tents. 5 00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:58,000 Gelek hene. There were many. 6 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,000 Şkeftê de hene.

I mean, they are considered part of the Mount Lelun. 9 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,000 Û bi Seyfiyê leqeb e. And it is nicknamed Seyfiye. 10 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,000 Xelk şixulî. People worked. 11 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:18,000 Bixwe re gund ko... bi dar û bi yomîye... şixulîn, zehf şixulîn. The village itself... with trees and daily wages... they worked, they worked a lot. 12 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,000 Giştan îşê xwe meşandin. Everyone ran their business. 13 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,000 Îşê xwe meşandin, rind bûn. They ran their business, they became well-off. 14 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:24,000 Welle rind bûn. By God, they became well-off. 15 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,000 Dar me çandin. We planted trees. 16 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:31,000 Hinar, zeytûn... Pomegranates, olives... 17 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,000 Genim... Ceh... Wheat... Barley... 18 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,000 Ev tişta me çandin.

I mean... they don't make trouble. 21 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:48,000 Di xwar e, di şixulin, dixwin û vedixwin. They work down there, they eat and drink. 22 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,000 Û çiya jî, bi xwe... And the mountain itself... 23 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,000 ...berê kox û rez qe tê ne bû. ...before there were no huts and vineyards in it at all. 24 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,000 Kox û rez qe tê ne bû. There were no huts and vineyards in it at all. 25 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,000 Rêkî adî bû. It was an ordinary road. 26 00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,000 Em meş diçûn Efrînê, dihatin. We used to walk to Afrin and come back. 27 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:20,000 Meş... Walking... 28 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,000 Geliyek heye li binî derê.

At the upper door there is a cave, the caves are in layers, one is below, one is above. 30 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,000 Gelî... mezin e şkeft.

They found a small skull. 37 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:50,000 Qicikek dîtin, yê çûçik bû. They found a small one, it was of a child. 38 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:56,000 Ewan derman kirin, derkirin, kirin sendûqê, birin Ewropa. They treated it, took it out, put it in a box, and took it to Europe. 39 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,000 Em malxirab pê şixulîn. Pê sekinîn. We poor things worked on it. We stood by it. 40 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,000 Jin, mêr, law, qîz... Women, men, sons, daughters... 41 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,000 Yanî xelk di şixulî. I mean, people were working. 42 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:09,000 Ê çiya bi xwe, çiyakî asê ye. And the mountain itself, it's a steep mountain. 43 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:29,000 Berê bi dar bû, nika dar neman. It used to be covered with trees, now there are no trees left. 44 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,000 E... ez yê oxcî bûm. Uh... I was a hunter. 45 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:42,000 Li van çiyan... ez digeriyam. Du kewa... du têra... du dara... In these mountains... I used to wander. Two partridges... two birds... two trees... 46 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,000 Me dikuşt, anî, qicikê me dixwarin. We used to kill them, bring them, our children used to eat them. 47 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,000 Ê em hatin, vê derê gund... Then we came, to this village here... 48 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:52,000 Pir xweş bû. Şebabên xwe rind bûn. It was very nice. Its youth were good. 49 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,000 Şebabên xwe hawa bûn.

We... every evening... fifteen people used to go to a house and stay up late in the past. 54 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:29,000 Heyat xweş bû. Life was good. 55 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:11,000 Me... e... te dît me rind e, kes xirmişê me nebe. We... uh... you saw we are good, nobody should bother us. 56 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,000 Ne em ariz dibin e, ne kesek. Neither we bother, nor anyone else. 57 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,000 Em di xwara di şixulin. We work down there. 58 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,000 Navbera xortên gund...

Not only in the village, they always loved each other... 60 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,000 Tişt nabe... Nothing happens... 61 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,000 Em bi hev re, ev hez dikirin. We together, we loved each other. 62 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:33,000 Û qîzikê wan... jinên wan wekî jinên me ne, destmalê xwe wekî jinên me eyb nedidîtin e. And their daughters... their women are like our women, they didn't see it as a shame for their veils to be like our women's. 63 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:53,000 Qîzikê wan bi kurmancî xeber didin... Their girls spoke in Kurmanji... 64 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:18,000 Ez berê... cem Şêx Faris me xwend. I used to... read with Sheikh Faris. 65 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,000 Min Qur'an xetim kir.

They put me in the second grade. 68 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,000 Sefê diduyan, ez bi giştî zanîbûm bixwînim. In the second grade, I generally knew how to read. 69 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:31,000 Bes yazî ... nedabû me, ez nizanibûm yazî bikim. But writing... wasn't given to us, I didn't know how to write. 70 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,000 Ê... Uh... 71 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,000 Em hatin vê derê... We came here... 72 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,000 Salekê basûtê ez çûm, sefê sêyem hebû. A year later I went to Basute, there was the third grade. 73 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:42,000 Sefê sê derece ûla min hilanî berî îskê. Third grade, I took first degree before Iska. 74 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,000 Ez hatim Basûtê, min dî derece ûla bir.

There was no money, my father searched the village, he couldn't find 5 liras. 80 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:30,000 Ê... Uh... 81 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,000 Ê Qur'an dixwend, Qur'an xwend.

And the one who read the grade, read the grade. 83 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:41,000 Şeş mehan me xwendin, dan qeçek gihîştin sefê pêncê...

Those who were in reading... they learned grammar, they learned composition, they learned math, they learned writing. 86 00:07:54,000 --> 00:08:00,000 Cema xwendin, û çûn Efrînê, ê pereyên xwe hene çûn Efrînê. They read together, and went to Afrin, those who had money went to Afrin. 87 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:04,000 Welle bekelorya jî birin, hinek o... By God some even got their baccalaureate... 88 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,000 Û min, ez paşê ji xwendinê ketim. And me, I later dropped out of reading. 89 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:11,000 Cem xwe... me kîtêb mîtêb dixwendin, derdikirin... By ourselves... we used to read books, we used to take them out... 90 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,000 Ê... Uh... 91 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,000 Sefê nehan meselê sefê nehê mi hel dikirin...
