Îro careke din em li ber xada ye, îro jî em ê derbasî gundekî din bibin, vê re dibêjin Gundê Qerqîna. Today we are on the screen once again, and today we will move to another village, they call this Qerqîna Village.
Ev gundekî gelek xweş e, xuzayiya wî xweş e, av di ber re derbas dibe. This is a very beautiful village, its nature is beautiful, water passes by it.
Cîranê vê gundî jî hene, vê re dibêjin Gundê Berava. There are neighbors to this village too, they call it Berava Village.
Berê carekê em derbasî gundê Berava bûn, me bi hev re naskir. Îro jî em ê derbasî gundê Qerqîna bin. Before, we once visited Berava village and got to know it together. Today, we will enter Qerqîna village.
Mamosta Mihemed, merhaba ji te re. Teacher Mohammed, hello to you.
Bi xêr hatin mamosta Şerîf. Welcome, teacher Sherif.
Pîrozbahî û spasî ji bo bernameya Ax û Welat, çunki dîrokeke Rojavayê xwanê tînin, dîrokeke jiyana Kurda li ser vê erdê xwanê tînin. Congratulations and thanks to the Ax û Welat program, because you are bringing the history of Rojava to light, you are bringing the history of Kurdish life on this land to light.
Spas. Îro jî em derbasî gundê we bûn, Gundê Qerqîna bûn. Thanks. Today we entered your village, we were in Qerqîna Village.
Bi xwestina ku em Gundê Qerqîna nas bikin, taybetmendiya vê gundî nas bikin. With the desire to get to know Qerqîna Village, to know the characteristics of this village.
Lê em di destpêkê de, gund... navê gund, taybetmendiya vê gundî, di vê gundî de çend malbat hene, em bipirsin. But let us ask in the beginning about the village... the village name, the characteristics of this village, and how many families are in this village.
Gundê Qerqîna dîrokeke kevnar e. Em karin bibêjin ji dema mirov jiyana xwe li ser vê axê ava kiriye... Qerqîna Village has an ancient history. We can say that from the time humans built their lives on this land...
...mirov derbasbûyî vê axê bûye, di şikeftan de jiyana xwe derbas kiriye. ...humans passed through this land, and lived their lives in caves.
Ama temamê malbatên ji wê... malbatên hatin di şikeftan de jiyana xwe derbas kirin, kes ji wan nema ne. But all the families from that... the families that came and lived in the caves, none of them remain.
Çunki pir hakimiyet li vê derê derbas bûn e, Romî, Osmanî li vir derbas bûn e, koçberî çêbûye. Because many rules [governments] passed through here; Romans, Ottomans passed through here, displacement happened.
Ama malbatên li vê derê, malbat in ji koçberiyê hatine, hatin li vir rûniştine, hemû jî Kurd in. But the families here, they are families who came from migration, they came and settled here, and all of them are Kurds.
Ama tu qewmiyet xeynî Kurdan li ser vê axê, vê gundî, kes nehatiye. But no ethnicity other than Kurds has come to this land, to this village.
Jê esas da Kurd in. Basically, they are Kurds.
Em karin bibêjin malbatên li vir hene, wek em bibêjin Mala El Mestû, em karin bibêjin Mala Hesen Bico, em karin bibêjin Mala Memo Şahîn û Mala Qutiş... We can say the families here are, for example, the El Mestû family, we can say the Hesen Bico family, we can say the Memo Şahîn family and the Qutiş family...
...Mala Emê hene... ...The Emê family is here...
...malbatên hene ne li vir, wek Mala Bebekê, Mala Botî... ...there are families not [originally] from right here, like the Bebekê family, the Botî family...
Hemû jî ji deh eşîra ne. All of them are from ten tribes.
Em karin bibêjin hinek ji eşîra Şikakan, hinek ji eşîra Amikî ne. We can say some are from the Shekak tribe, some are from the Amikî tribe.
Her deh eşîre gîştin li vê gundî ji koçberiyê. All ten tribes arrived in this village through migration.
No, çend xanî di gund de hene? So, how many houses are in the village?
Nêzî 100 mal... di vê derê hene. Close to 100 homes... are here.
100 xanî ye. It is 100 houses.
Bêhtir ji 7-8 malbat, yanî heft-heşt malbatên tê da ne. More than 7-8 families, meaning seven-eight families are inside [the village].
No, ez tiştekî bipirsim... di her gundekî de berê rûspiyê wan hebûn. Rûspiyê we kî bûn berê? So, let me ask something... in every village, there used to be elders. Who were your elders in the past?
Rûspiyên me... hinek navdar hebûn, navdar hebûn. Our elders... there were some famous ones, famous ones.
Ez karim bibêjin gundê Qerqîna tu koletî qebûl nekirine. I can say that Qerqîna Village has never accepted slavery [subjugation].
Di her hukmekî li deverê derbas bûye, tû koletî qebûl nekirine. Under any rule that passed through the region, they did not accept slavery.
Di dema Fransiyan de, tew Mistefa Çolaq çûn şerê Fransiyan kirin. During the time of the French, even Mistefa Çolaq went and fought against the French.
Kî bû? Who was it?
Ebdo El Mestû hebû... û pir ji gund wê re çûbûn. There was Ebdo El Mestû... and many from the village went with him.
Dîsa ez karim bibêjim rûspî hene jê, Alemdar bûn. Again I can say there are elders, they were standard-bearers (Alemdar).
Diçûn li gunda wekî... wê dawê dikirin, ber... ber milet dida li hev anîn. They went to villages like... they made that claim/call, for... to bring the people together.
Di wê demê de Quran bû. Quran belgê didan li hev anîn, çûne Yaziken wek Şêx Elî. At that time, it was the Quran. They used the Quran as a document to bring people together, they went to Yaziken like Sheikh Ali.
Pir hebûn wekî... There were many like...
Yanî, di wan deman de, wek edet û teqalîdên gund, rûspî hebûn? Meaning, in those times, as customs and traditions of the village, were there elders?
Rûspî hebûn, wek edet û teqalîd, wek tiştên kevnar yanî, karin em bibêjin... There were elders, like customs and traditions, like ancient things, we can say...
Yanî hebek bê derik bû, digotin yanî teqalîdên hebûn, yanî îtîqadatên vê gundî hebûn, wek em bibêjin Mala Hesen Bico... Meaning if one was an outcast, they said there were traditions, meaning this village had beliefs, like for example the Hesen Bico family...
...hevin. Gundekî biçûk e. Haya noka jî kes tu koletî qebûl nake. ...they are together. It's a small village. Even until now, no one accepts any slavery.
Jê me pakrewan jî hene. We have martyrs from us as well.
Em karin bibêjin Şehîd Slava heye, Şehîd Aytan (Or Ocalan) heye, Şehîd Xelîl heye... We can say there is Martyr Slava, Martyr Aytan, Martyr Xelîl...
...hev gundê Qerqîna ye. Gundekî bi hev re alîkar e. ...all from Qerqîna village. It is a village that helps one another.
Heta noka bi hev re alîkar e, di jiyana xwe ya noka da, di vê şerî de jî alîkar e bi hev re. Until now they are helpful to each other, in their current life, and in this war, they are helpful to each other.
No, tixûbê gundê we digihîje kîjan gundî? So, your village borders reach which village?
Ez kanim bibêjim Gundê Berava li nêzîkî me ye. Ama Başûr e. I can say Berava Village is near us. But [to the] South.
Ama Bakur tu gund tûne ye. Gundek heye vê re dibên Tîlx... kes jê namîne. But [to the] North there is no village. There is a village called Tîlx... no one lives there.
Ez bibêjim Geliyê Sîmanê heye, geliyekî kevnar e. I can say there is the Saint Simon Valley, it is an ancient valley.
Îşaretên man... îşaretên hukmê Romê li vir heye. Signs remained... signs of Roman rule are here.
Û şikeftên hene, hîn ji berê Romê hene, bêlîne. Ama tu îşaretê wan wazih tûne ye. And there are caves, appearing to be from even before the Romans. But there are no clear signs [inscriptions] of them.
Şikeftin, tenê mane. Caves, they just remained.
Wekî dibên Çiyayê Qere Xalû heye, Çiyayê Kurbê heye. As they say, there is Mount Qere Xalû, there is Mount Kurbê.
Ama kevgund tîlî lax. Li Bakur e... tîlî lax jî kes jê namîne. Bes hema çend kevir şûnê xanî xwiya dikin. But the stone-village [ruin] is on the side. It is in the North... on the side no one lives there. Just a few stones, traces of houses are visible.
Haletê te ava be. May your situation be prosperous (Thank you).
Spas, bi xêr hatin mamosta Şerîf. Thanks, welcome teacher Sherif.
Spas ji te re. Thanks to you.
Gundê Qerqîna girêdayî navçeya Şera ya Kantona Efrînê ye. 6 kîlometre li bakurê bajarokê Şera... Qerqîna Village belongs to the Shera district of Afrin Canton. 6 kilometers north of the town of Shera...
...û 25 kîlometre li bakurê rojhilatê bajarê Efrînê dikeve. ...and it is located 25 kilometers northeast of the city of Afrin.
Navê gundê Qerqîna bi zimanê Kurdî ye, lê wateya wê nayê zanîn çiye. The name of Qerqîna village is in the Kurdish language, but its meaning is not known.
Gundê Qerqîna li ber ava Gola Meydankê dikeve, û ew girekî kevnar e, û pirbûna şikeftan vê tese pê dike. Qerqîna village is situated by the water of Meydankê Lake, and it is an ancient hill, and the abundance of caves confirms this.
Xelkê gund gelek sûdê ji ava golê digirin. The people of the village benefit greatly from the lake water.
Û ji avdana zeviyên, peyda kirina jêderê avê, girtina masiyan, digel wan sûdan, rewşa gund xweştir kiriye û bûye cihê geşt û seyranê. And from irrigating fields, finding water sources, catching fish, along with those benefits, it has made the village's situation nicer and it has become a place for trips and picnics.
Her wiha şeş malbat di gund de hene. Malbata El Mesto ku bi eslê xwe koçer in, bi cîh bûne ku ji eşîra Amikan e. Furthermore, there are six families in the village. The El Mesto family, who are originally nomads, have settled [here] and are from the Amikan tribe.
Hesen Qutiş, Şahîn, û malbata Botî jî ku bi eslê xwe ji Cizîra Botan in. Hesen Qutiş, Şahîn, and the Botî family as well, who are originally from Cizîra Botan.
Berê sê malbatên kîrîv di gund de hebûn, lê berî demekê koçî bajarê Efrînê bûn û niha li wir dijîn. In the past, there were three 'Kiriv' [godparent/close relation] families in the village, but some time ago they migrated to Afrin city and now live there.
Belê temaşevanên hêja, niha jî em ji gundê Qerqîna derketin, me berê xwe daye ava... Yes dear viewers, now we have left Qerqîna village, we turned towards the water...
...ava Meydankê, vê re dibêjin ava Efrînê. ...the water of Meydankê, they call this the water of Afrin.
Niha Muxtarê gund li gel me ye. Now the Village Mukhtar is with us.
Muxtar, ev ava ji kengî de li ba we heye? Mukhtar, since when has this water been with you [here]?
Ev ava... va sedda, di [19]88 û [19]90 da çêbû. This water... this dam, was made in '88 and '90.
Berê, av diherikî, hemû va gundana, baxçe jê danîn, motor dikirine, gundê me, va gundê di hawîlê me... Before, the water flowed, all these villages planted orchards from it, they used pumps, our village, these villages around us...
...gi li ser vê avê dijîn. ...all lived on this water.
Ba'dî [19]88 û [19]90 da, av hat qutkirin. After '88 and '90, the water was cut off [dammed].
Ev baxçana giran bûn. Ard gi ketin bin avê. These orchards became heavy [flooded]. The land all went under water.
Gi bîstan bûn, gi baxçe bûn, gi bîstan bûn... All were vegetable gardens, all were orchards, all were vegetable gardens...
...av, va sedda hat girtin, ev baxçana gi rabûn, ard gi ketin bin avê. ...the water, this dam was closed, these orchards were all removed, the land all went under water.
Niha baxçê wa li ku derê hene? Now where are your orchards?
Baxçê me... Our orchards...
Erê na, erdê me bûn keno? Yes no, they were our lands, weren't they?
Erê na, bendav li vir çêbû, li Meydankê? Yes no, the dam was built here, in Meydanki?
Ev nehal, av gişt va... This valley, the water [took] all of this...
Yê nav baxçê wa hene di gund da? Are there ones inside your gardens in the village?
Na, baxçe noke av tê ne, av bi motora dikişînin. No, the gardens, now water comes to them, they pull water with motors.
Erdê xwa şîn dikin, pê av didin. Ji vêya golê. They cultivate their land, they irrigate with it. From this lake.
Berê av diherikî, me ji vê avê, me av dikir û va erd pirbûn. Before, the water used to flow, from this water, we irrigated and these lands were plenty.
Erd nehanekî ketin bin avê. The lands somehow fell under the water.
E noka em motora dikine... dide bin... pê erd û av didin, disa baxça dikişînin. And now we put motors... it goes under... we irrigate the land with it, we irrigate the gardens again.
Zeytûna. Noka haliyen... Olives. Now currently...
Awe yê me giş ser zeytûna ye. Ours [our livelihood] is all on olives.
Giş zeytûn in ne? They are all olives, right?
Başqe tişt heye? Is there anything else?
Zeytûn in ne, rez in ne, tişta... va tişta em ser vê tiştî dijîn. They are olives, they are vineyards, things... these things, we live on these things.
Berê em li ser baxça dijîn. E baxçe jî neman. Before we lived on [profits from] gardens. And the gardens are gone.
E me noka, em li ser zeytûna dijîn. And us now, we live on [profits from] olives.
Temam. Ka em hinekî ji mêvanê xwe bipirsin. Merheba ji were jî. Okay. Let us ask our guest a little. Hello to you too.
Ser çava. You are welcome [Upon my eyes].
Tu bi xêr hatî gundê Qerqîna ye. Welcome to the village of Qerqîna.
Ez bi xêr û mêvanî, programê axa welat im, gundê Qerqîna. I am well and a guest, of the "Land of the Country" program, [in] the village of Qerqîna.
Û pişî heqas salê xerîbiyê, hîro ez pir kêfxweş im. And after so many years of exile, today I am very happy.
Ez jî bûme mêvanê we. I have also become your guest.
Wê ser çavê me, wê ser çavê me. Tu bixwe kuda dimînî? You are most welcome, most welcome. Where do you reside yourself?
Ez Almanya dibînim. I see [live in] Germany.
Çend sal te li Almanya ye? How many years have you been in Germany?
Siwê du sal in. It has been two years.
Siwê du sal in, umreke. It has been two years, [that is] a lifetime.
Umreke, siwê du sal in. Piştî siwê du sala ez hatim ber vî... Benda Avê. A lifetime, it has been two years. After two years I came to this... Water Dam.
Ez geleki kêfxweş bûm, em ketne nava wê çi... I was very happy, we entered into that what...
Yanî ez bi rastî gelekî... kêfxweş im, hîro weha. Meaning I am truly very... happy, today like this.
Dema te berê kedî, weka sal, ev begî na... te bawer dikir ku te disa vegerî Efrînê yan na? When you left before, like a year... like this no... did you believe that you would return to Afrin again or not?
Bi xwedê... baweriya me... hindik bû. By God... our belief... was little.
Hama noka, bi rastî... ez bawer dikim... xêrî mjiye biftila. But now, truly... I believe... it is better if one returns.
Welatê me çêbû, welatê me xweş e, welat... û va tiştî ku em dibînin li Ewropa, va tiştî televizyona dera... Our country has become good, our country is beautiful, country... and these things we see in Europe, these things on television out there...
Ne rast e, yanî bila werin bi çavê xwe bibînin. It is not true, meaning let them come and see with their own eyes.
Yanî divê şoreşê da, ka em neşên ber avê nekî biçin? Meaning in this revolution, shall we go towards the water a bit?
Neçîrvan jî da ketine ber, dinêşin masiya dikirin, em biçin cem wan jî. Fishermen have also gone down there, trying to catch fish, let's go to them too.
Yanî ev... divê şoreşê da pir milet da, yanî berê xwe da Ewrûpa yanî. Meaning this... in this revolution many people gave, meaning turned their faces towards Europe.
Yanî ez nizanim, yanî ev... welatê şêrîn, vê welatî xwesik berdan. Meaning I don't know, meaning this... sweet country, they left this beautiful country.
Wallahî... heval Şerîf ez... wêneyê şaşîtî dibînim. Şaşîtiyek a mezin e. I swear... friend Sherif I... see a picture of mistake. It is a big mistake.
Hîro... divê şoreka ereba heye dibêje "cenet bêyî mirova... nabe." Today... there is an Arab saying that says "paradise without people... cannot be."
Hîro... mirov welatî xwe vala bike û boş bike... bi rastî... ev parlinga her e. Today... for a person to empty their country and leave it vacant... truly... this is [unintelligible - likely "shameful/bad"].
Hama... rastî... rastiyek lwir da heye, hîro welat çêdibe, welat xweş dibe, welat pêşketiye. But... truth... there is a truth there, today the country is becoming good, the country is becoming beautiful, the country is developed.
Û... şuxul da, kar da, û tiştekî kêm û kuser tune ye yanî. And... in work, in jobs, and there is nothing lacking or deficient really.
Paşê însan yanî karê çê dike, îşê çê dike. Then a human meaning does good work, does a good job.
Û bi rastî jî... disa ez bangeka me heye ji kurdê me li Ewrûpa... And truly too... again I have a call for our Kurds in Europe...
Û sedî sed jî ew min nas bikin hemî jî, silavê min ji gişkiya ra heye. And one hundred percent they all know me too, I have greetings for all of them.
Yan silaveka germ li ew nasbûnê min ra li Ewrûpa... A warm greeting to those acquaintances of mine in Europe...
Û ê daxwaze bila werin kerem kin bi çavê xwe bibînin, yanî ez rastiyekê dibêjim. And whoever wishes, let them come and please see with their own eyes, meaning I am speaking a truth.
Ka kerem ke em biçin cem wan jî. Please, let us go to them as well.
Fermû kerem ke. Please, go ahead.
Em destpêkê te nas bikin. First, let us get to know you.
Reşîd. Rashid.
Ser çava Reşîd. Welcome Rashid.

Hêjayî gotinê ye ku du gund bi heman navî hene. It is worth mentioning that there are two villages with the same name.
Qerqîna Biçûk ku bi navê Derwîş tê naskirin. Qerqîna Biçûk (Small Qerqîna) which is known by the name Derwîş.
Û Qerqîna Mezin jî, ango Qerqîna. And Qerqîna Mezin (Big Qerqîna), also known as Qerqîna.
Her du bira, Henan li Qerqîna Mezin û Derwîş li ya biçûk niştecî bûn. Two brothers, Henan settled in Qerqîna Mezin and Derwîş in the small one.

Du kes û du xanî li wir nemane. Tenê weke kavil maye. Not two people and two houses remain there. It remains only as ruins.
Nêzî sî xanî û çar hezar kes li gund dijîn. Near thirty houses and four thousand people live in the village.
Lê gelek kes koçî bajar û derveyî welat bûn e. But many people have migrated to the city and outside the country.
Xelkê gund dabara jiyana xwe bi çandiniyê dikin. The people of the village make their living through agriculture.
Ji xizmetkirina zeviyên zeytûn, rezan, baxçeyên sebze û fêkiyan dikin. They serve [cultivate] olive fields, vineyards, vegetable and fruit gardens.
Digel wan zeviyên ceh û genim jî diçînin. Along with those, they also plant barley and wheat fields.
Digel çandiniyê, hin malbat sewalan jî xwedî dikin. Along with agriculture, some families also raise livestock.
Çend kes karê masîgirtinê ji gola avê dikin û masiyan li Meydankê û Efrînê difroşin. Several people do the work of catching fish from the lake water and sell fish in Meydanki and Afrin.

Weleh işta me jî 'tan-tana' çêdikirin, 'qenewî' çêdikirin, me 'klof' çêdikirin... Well, we also used to make lace, we made embroidery, we made gloves...
Ber koro rom. I went to work.

Kehrebe tina, ma çira vêdixist... û me bar çêdikir, çirê numreyî. No electricity, we lit lamps... and we made loads, the numbered lamps.

Wa bêyî barî çêdikir, ê bi rû? You made loads without... with the face?
Na bêyî barî. Bi rû destê me diket. No without the load. It fell to our hands with the face.
Wa çi kar dikir bi rû? What work did you do with the face?
Ê em diçûn 'pale', em diçûn 'çilo'... işta pez hebû, mal hebû... û ez bi tenê bûm. We went to harvest, we went to gather sticks... there were sheep, cattle... and I was alone.
Ez û dêyîkê xwe û bavkê xwe bûn... em du hûrik bûn, çûçik bûn. It was me and my mother and my father... we were two small ones, little ones.
Ewa tu behsa gundê dêrwiş dikî? You are talking about the dervish village?
Erê. Yes.
Û li vî gundî te çi dikir? And what did you do in this village?
Vî gundî jî işta dîsa wekî wi... qiçik hûrik bûn, pale bû, şixre bû, pez bû dîsa, li çolê... em işta diçûn êzinga, diçûn zeytûna... In this village too, again just like that... the kids were small, there was harvest, there were stacks, there were sheep again, in the wild... we went for firewood, went for olives...
Heta em dihatin, me karê xwe dikir, êvar dibû... dinê reş dibû. By the time we came back, did our work, it was evening... the world became dark.
Heta te sibê radibû, te pezê xwe didota... te şîr germ bikira... te hewş û av û rêkira... nîrû dibû. Nîrû te diftirî karê malê. Until you got up in the morning, milked your sheep... boiled the milk... cleaned the yard and water... it became noon. At noon you finished the housework.
Qey te zanî karê malê? Do you know housework?
Te şîv dikira, nanî tenikî bi destê xwe... You made dinner, thin bread with your hands...

Ya jî işta... nanê sibê jî... maşela şîr hebû, penêr hebû, rûn hebû, lorik hebû, gi hebû. Or else... for breakfast too... Mashallah there was milk, there was cheese, there was butter, there was curd, there was everything.
Mast pir bû? Was yogurt plentiful?
Mast pir bû. Yogurt was plentiful.
Nî noka çaye? Ko însanê noka sax e? Rûnê eslî dixon? Mastê eslî dixon? Ko çi dixon? Weren't things in the past more plentiful?
Nî noka çaye? Ko însanê noka sax e? Rûnê eslî dixon? Mastê eslî dixon? Ko çi dixon? Look, how is it now? Are people now healthy? Do they eat real butter? Do they eat real yogurt? What do they eat?
Çima maadem ê em... nefs... em wek însana... çima em çênakin yanî? Why, since we... self... we as humans... why don't we make it?
Ê de kanî, çênakin, gi dibên çetin e. Well where is it, they don't make it, they all say it's difficult.
Lê? Di bizin min hene, hew dibê bifroşe, hew dibê bifroşe. Ya ez nafiroşim. Is it difficult?
Lê? Di bizin min hene, hew dibê bifroşe, hew dibê bifroşe. Ya ez nafiroşim. What? I have goats, this one says sell, that one says sell. No, I don't sell.
Welle. Really.
Na... tişkî... te behs dikir te got berê mêvanekî dihat, me jê ra mirîşk şerjê dikir, ya dawarek... we şerjê dikir. Noka çawa ye? Now... something... you were mentioning, you said before a guest would come, we would slaughter a chicken for them, or a sheep... you slaughtered. How is it now?
Noka işta bizor e, zehmet e. Now it is hard, it is difficult.
Xêr çima zehmet e? Why is it difficult?
Î ne wekî berê, noka... noka wekî berê ye yaram? It is not like before, now... is now like before, my dear?
Yanî berê însan dihat bêxem wa bar nedan? You mean before people came without worry, you didn't mind the burden?
Lê, dîsa em bar nadin, dîsa em bar nadin, dîsa çi... No, still we don't mind the burden, still we don't mind, still whatever...
Yanî wa li ser urf-adetê xwe yê berê ne? You mean you are still following your old customs and traditions?
Erê, erê, dîsa em bar nadin... bi... a nîvanê were, binon, bi çaye, bi qehwe... wekî haya gotî işta... qasir halê xwe em ra dibin. Yes, yes, still we don't mind... with... let the guest come, with bread, with tea, with coffee... as they said... we get up according to our means.
Meqdarê xwe. Your capacity.
Erê. Yes.
Ka de, destê xwe bike... Come on, put your hand...
Em dixwazin tiştekî bipirsin. We want to ask something.
Te got tu ji... mersûmê ye? Tu bûka vî gundî? Tu çend salî vî gundî? You said you are from... Mersum? You are a bride of this village? How many years have you been in this village?

Yanî heft zarok te hene? So you have seven children?
Erê. Yes.
Ê dema t hatî vî gundî, vî gundî çawa bû, gundê Qerqinê? And when you came to this village, how was this village, Qerqin village?
Welle va gunda rind bû. Em hatin. Pale bû. Mala mezin bû. Dawar pir bû. Cêl hebûn. Mîvan hebûn. Ji kirîva, ji qurbetê malê me tijî bû. Well, this village was good. We came. There was harvest. The family was big. Cattle were plenty. There were cows. There were guests. From close friends, from abroad, our house was full.
Dawar tim hebûn. Cattle were always there.
Em li palo bûn. Me şixre dikişan. Bi dewar me dikişan. Me ê... cûd çêdikir, kelekê dewar... me şixre bar dikir, me davê erdê, barz dikir. We were harvesting. We hauled the stacks. We hauled with cattle. We made... the threshing floor, alongside the cattle... we loaded the stacks, threw them to the ground, stacked them high.
Me danî. We put it down.
Cer-cer hebû me cer-cer dikuta. There was a threshing sled, we pounded with the threshing sled.
Û mîvan hebûn, li eîda dibû... li eîda me sifre derdixist, çiqas mal hene... mala kofte dikir... şorbe dikir... gelmê rezê dikir... sarmîsk dikir... And there were guests, it happened on Eid... on Eid we brought out the food spread, however many houses there are... a house made meatballs... made soup... made stuffed vine leaves... made garlic-yogurt dish...
Me li bin vê çinarê, me şol rêdixist naylon, me sifre didanî... gund gi kom dibûn. Under this plane tree, we spread a nylon sheet, we put the cloth... the whole village gathered.
Ê di wê demê da gundî we giya bi hevra dixwarin? And at that time did all your villagers eat together?
Gi bi hevra. All together.
Gi bi hevra, gi bi hevra. Ê boxorana... ê rabina... hêlik jî dadana çotme... ê xwel hêt çotme rûniştana. When it was Eid?
Gi bi hevra, gi bi hevra. Ê boxorana... ê rabina... hêlik jî dadana çotme... ê xwel hêt çotme rûniştana. All together, all together. Those who ate... those who got up... they would sit cross-legged... sitting cross-legged against the wall.
Hano pir kêfxweş bûn, pir ji hevra razî bûn. They were very happy, very pleased with each other.
Ê na, ev çend sal in hûn bi hevra nanaxwin? Now, how many years has it been since you ate together?
Ê noka ji mêj e. Bû çend sal in e, hamûda ra kirin. Berê rind bû. Kufte dikirin. Welle gî mala me kom dibûn, hav sifra, hav dara. Bi şon şûret ra dibû. Well now it's been a long time. It's been several years, they stopped it all. Before it was good. They made meatballs. Well, everyone gathered at our house, this cloth, this tree. It happened with honor and respect.
Û bi dar dibû yanî. Pir kêfxweş bû gundê me. Û noka jî pir ji wê daxîn rindtir xweş e. Elhemdule. And it happened by the tree. Our village was very happy. And now too, it is much better than that time. Praise be to God.
Belê na em... tiştekî dibêjim. Berê însan dilê wan xweş bû, kêfa wan xweş bû. Yes, now we... I say something. Before, people's hearts were happy, their mood was happy.
Yanî jimara, carna ji urf-adetê xwe dûr dikevin. Meriv ji çanda xwe dûr dikeve... I mean for us, sometimes they get far from their customs. One gets far from their culture...
Ew nebaşiyekî, meriv ser çanda xwe, berê bimîne yanî. That is a bad thing, one should remain on their culture, the past.
Na çiqasî kêfxweş bûn, dema mera derbas gundekî biban... Now how happy they were, when we passed by a village...
Ahayî gunda hîna bi hevra dixwarina dikirin. The village people were still eating together.
Yanî li... mesele tirçînîn ke, gi bi havda em diçûn. Me bi havra harî dikir. Me li wir şîva xwe dikir. Me dîtina dixwar bi havda. I mean at... for example picking (harvest), we all went together. We helped each other together. We made our dinner there. We ate our food together.
Hûr û palî filanî... em gi bi havra diçûn, me diçînî... me gi kom bi havda nan dixwar. Small and harvest and such... we all went together, we harvested... we all gathered together and ate bread.
Zeytûnek yekî bima... em bi havra diçûn, me bi havra harî dikir. Amadekar bi havra dikir. If someone's olives remained... we went together, we helped together. We prepared together.
Çû wek meselen noka dibên 'kûmîn' e? Ha ew 'kûmîn'ê berê ye. Just like for example now they say 'commune'? Ha, that is the 'commune' of the past.
Rast e. It is true.
Noka pirr han dibên çi... 'kûmîn' çi ye? Now many say what... what is a 'commune'?
Migû 'kûmîn' çi ye? 'Kûmîn' kûmîna berê ye. Am diçûn... me mîş çêdikir, mîjê me bi heftol çolê diman. Amê kûm bana jin. Li wê derê me şîv-şevîn dikir, am gî l'hav dibûn. I said what is a 'commune'? 'Commune' is the commune of the past. We went... we made lentils (?), our lentils stayed a week in the field. We women gathered. There we spent the nights, we all got together.
Pali qolîçê ma diçînî... mêr hona kûm, jin hona kûm... me nanê xwe dixwar. Nefs hav e, hav kûmîn a. Harvest of our stalks we harvested... men gathered like this, women gathered like this... we ate our bread. Same as this, this is the commune.
Dîsa nefs noka 'kûmîn' hav e. Again same as now, 'commune' is this.
Am gi bi havda, ma bi havra karê xwe dikir, ma bi havra harî dikir... pir rind-boş bû. We all together, we did our work together, we helped together... it was very good and plentiful.
Na de, işta tiştekî ji te pirsim. Na tu... cema gund 'masere' tiron hene? Now, I ask you something. Now you... does the village have molasses presses?
'Masere' hebû. Li ber avê am... li ber avê da bû. Hev arpîn e, hev jî 'masere'. There was a press. By the water we... it was by the water. This is a mill, and this is a press.
Am heftokê diman, ma l'wir xew dikir. We stayed a week, we slept there.
Pênşemê heta pênşemê em ser maserê diman. Thursday to Thursday we stayed at the press.
Demis pir bû, şeş heft rezê ma hebûn. Molasses was plentiful, we had six or seven vineyards.
Seda milkê ma gi bir. The dam took all our property.
Ma şiv şevîn dikir, am gelek dilxweş bûn... We spent the nights, we were very happy...
Dema ew... dema ew... dema ew... berê... When that... when that... when that... before...
Dema ewe... baxçe bû ye, tiştî wekî kezwan... When that... was a garden, things like pistachio/terebinth...
Tiştî me gi çû. Wê dogê. All our things went. At that time.
Yanî am ser maserê batan o... me yo... amê batan o seker hindirê ma tijî ye. Meaning when we came to the press... us... we came and the inside of our baskets/sacks were full.
Ji qurbetê û ji kirîfa û henyasîn... ji wan t'av diraqisin... gî dawor girêdan li wê darê. From abroad and from friends and acquaintances... from those dancing... all cattle tied to that tree.
Çor pênc cuwar... loxir gî suwar kutan o, ardê. Four or five mounts... rollers all rode and pounded, the ground.
Tîkmî jî hebû, ê bîçodî çido tin biçû l'wê xisto. There was also a kick/game (?), he who... went there and hit.
Amê dotin hindirê ma tijî. We milked, our insides were full.
Yanî kî me şîv de kir, yanî kî me nan de kir. Meaning when we made supper, meaning when we made bread.
Me nînî tê de nan dikir, me textê xwe tê de datanî ser. We used to put bread in the cradle, we placed our dough- board on it.
Sifre jimar dinan, me nanê patê paşê temam dikir û nanê xwe. We laid out the cloth for the breads, we finished the flatbread later and our bread.
Ew jiyana xweş bûn, ew jiyana... That life was good, that life...
Weleh xweş bûn. Û noka jî, hê jî zêde xweş bibe înşalah. By God, it was good. And now too, may it become even better, God willing.
Înşalah serkeftin be, û înşalah serkeftin be, xweş bibe. God willing, may there be victory, and God willing may there be victory, may it be good.
Spas ji we ra jî. Thank you to you too.
Mala we ava be. May your home be prosperous.
Saeta we xweş. Have a good time.

Hêjayî bîrxistinê ye ku xelkê gund projeyên hevbeş bi hevdû ra kirine. It is worth mentioning that the village people have undertaken joint projects together.
Mîna gehandina ava vexwarinê ji kaniya Sîmanê û belavkirina avê li hemû malên gund... Such as conveying drinking water from the Siman spring and distributing water to all village houses...
...û peydakirina jînatora elektirîkê ji bo peydakirina elektirîkê ji xelkê gund ra. ...and procuring an electric generator to provide electricity for the village people.
Hin jinên gund de cîlên rêsî çêdikin, û digel hevserê xwe de barê jiyana malbata xwe pê dikin. Some women in the village make spun clothes, and together with their spouses, they support their family's livelihood.
Sê pakrewan di gund de hene: Şehîd Silava Aytan û Şehîd Xelîl... There are three martyrs in the village: Martyr Silava Aytan and Martyr Khalil...
...ku mîna gund bi navê Şehîd Welat e. ...who, like the village, is named Martyr Welat.
Dibistanek gund jî nîne, lê zarokên gund li dibistana gundê cîran, ango Meydankê dixwînin. There is no village school either, but the village children study at the neighbor village's school, namely Maydanke.
Nêzî deh şikeftên kevner di gund de hene, û kevnariya gund nîşan didin. There are near ten ancient caves in the village, demonstrating the antiquity of the village.
Gola Meydankê piştî avakirina bendava Meydankê hatiye avakirin. The Maydanke Lake was created after the construction of the Maydanke Dam.

Me digot em destpêkê, karê te... ji çend salî ve vî karî dikî? We were saying at the beginning, your work... since what age have you been doing this work?
Weleh salê pêncî û didiya de, ez biçûk bûm, mektebê, sefê didiya bûm. By God, in the year fifty-two, I was small, in school, I was in the second grade.
Min lewhe çêdikirin... biçûk bûm, lewheyê min dikirin birwaz û sêv dixistin... I was making paintings... I was small, they put frames on my paintings and put apples...
...û we çaxê de teşjîa min roş çêbû. ...and at that time my encouragement was good.
...û min nefsê xwe, nefsê xwe quwet dikir. ...and I strengthened myself, my spirit.
Paşê ez çûme eskeriyê, li wê eskeriyê, min lewhe çêdikirin dîsa. Lewheyê fennî. Then I went to the military, in the military, I made paintings again. Technical charts.
J'eskeriyê hatim... ewê... Efrîn... I came from the military... to... Afrin...
Li Efrîn min mektebek biçûk vekir, ez têde şixulîm. In Afrin I opened a small studio, I worked in it.
Min sî salan terbiye fennî, li sanewiyê de, ez bûm ustazê resim. For thirty years [in] art education, in high school, I was an art teacher.
Yigî fen û îbda'. Of art and creativity.

Ê pir li ewê, Sed el Firat. Uh mostly in that, Euphrates Dam.
Ez çûme Sed el Firat, Tebqa. I went to Euphrates Dam, Tabqa.
...û li wira min me'redê Şamê çêdikir, cehizûn, min makîna mehrejan çêdikir, sal bi sal. ...and there I prepared the Damascus exhibition, equipment, I made festival floats, year by year.
Min çiqa 'emel fennî hebûyî, min gişt çêdikir. 'Emelê rind. Whatever art work there was, I did it all. Good work.
Yanî tu zû da ji Efrînê derketî tû çûyî? Meaning you left Afrin early and went?
Ji mêj ve ji Efrînê derketim. I left Afrin a long time ago.
Yanî çend sala tû ji gund derketî, ji Efrînê derketî yanî? Meaning how many years were you out of the village, out of Afrin?
Weleh salê şêst ta heştê ez jê derketim. By God, from the year sixty to eighty I was out of it.
Û di vê şoreşê da tû vegeriya? And in this revolution you returned?
Ê, paşê... êwa vegeriyam. Yes, then... yes I returned.
Di vê şoreşê tû vegeriya. Te piraniya li Tebqayê bû? In this revolution you returned. Your majority [time] was in Tabqa?
Li Tebqa bûm. Eletûl. I was in Tabqa. Continuously.
Te li wir da vî karî dikir? Did you do this work there?
Êwa. Yes.
Te başqe kar tû tiştek dikir? Did you do any other work?
Weleh min, ez muwazef bûm. By God I, I was an employee.
Çiqa 'emelê fennî hebû, tiştê fennî hebû, gişt min çêdikir. Whatever art work there was, technical thing there was, I did it all.
Ê... muessese Sed el Firat, û hewd û yigî gider... min têde 'emel fennî çêdikir. Uh... Euphrates Dam institution, and the basin and... I did art work in it.
Çi tiştê fennî hebû min gişt çêdikir. Whatever art thing there was I did it all.
Piraniya te wêne çêkirine li ser çi ne yanî? Ev süyetê te çêkirine di vê şoreşê da bûn te çêkirin? Mostly the pictures you made are about what? These sketches you made, were they in this revolution you made them?

Ev karê, ev karê min nû ye. This work, this work of mine is new.
Û paşê hewayê min, wek... ke xeyalek min ra dimeşî, e ne ku ji xwe bexetînim. And then my mood, like... a fantasy walks with me, not that I make it up myself.
Hewayê, e rûkê resim nakim ez naxweş im. Eletûl resim fikrê min daye. The mood, if I don't paint a face/painting I am unwell. Continuously painting is in my mind.
Îro kû derê çêdikî? Tû li der û vira kar dikî? Today where do you make them? Do you work here and there?
Welehî kî derê minasib bû ez çêdikim. By God wherever is suitable I make.

Îna ferqa berê û na, berê te li Tebqayê bû? Now the difference between before and now, before you were in Tabqa?
Ê, ê. Yes, yes.
Û na tû ji vegeriya berê? And now you returned to before?
Ê bimşî, lîeno resim bi xwe... tû key li kî derê bû tû kê çêkê. It works, because painting itself... wherever you are, you will make it.
Resim ew naxwaze ziyanê... yanî mekteb fennî naxwaze, der naxwaze, kî derê bû tû kê çêkê. Painting doesn't want cost... meaning it doesn't want an art school, doesn't want a place, wherever it was you will make.

Siheta we jî xweş. Oxura we xêrê be. Em derbas bûn mal hevarê, em parî nan, kasek çayê. Health to you too. May your journey be blessed. We passed to the home of friends, a bite of bread, a cup of tea.
Zor spas. Sihet xweş. Many thanks. Health to you.
Yallah, we xêr hatine. Yallah, you are welcome.
Selam. Peace.
Spas. Thanks.
Belê temaşevanên hêja, li vir jî em gihîştin dawiya bernameya xwe. Îro jî em li gundê Qerqîna bûn. Yes dear viewers, here too we have reached the end of our program. Today we were in the village of Qerqîna.
Heya hefteyekî din, emê dîsa berra bin, lê bi gundekî din. Bi xatira we. Until another week, we will be out again, but in another village. Goodbye.
Hing go ay lê Hanê... You said oh Hane...
Lê Hanê, wê rojê bela... Oh Hane, that day indeed...
Arşê l' Xweda, rûhê melekê mewtê bata li ser qefesê singê min rûnişt û canê min bibir... The throne of God, the spirit of the angel of death landed on the cage of my chest and took my soul...
Amaneta Xwa bibir... Took God's trust (soul)...
Bela go, Ebdilazîzkan boş e mila... Saying indeed, the Abdulaziz [tribe/mountains] are empty of people...
Hêro mîvanê mezela Şengala me wû ye ê ê ray. Everyday [we are] guests of the graves of Shingal, oh my...
(Instrumental Break) (Instrumental Break)
Hing go lê Hanê, sê rûn e sê şev e, m' serê xwe ranekirî ser cîhan û balgiyana. You said oh Hane, it's three days and three nights, I haven't lifted my head from the bedding and pillows.
Pa neku zikim ma hatina kutan e, nizanim ji benda diyarbekir e, nizanim ji Xalxal ay. Then not that my stomach [is sick] but the beating has come, I don't know if from the dams of Diyarbakir, I don't know from Xalxal.
Hing go lê Hanê... You said oh Hane...
Hestiyê m' xwar bûn e, nizanim ji xirnaqê gulya, nizanim ji Gar ay. My bones are bent, I don't know if from the choking of braids, I don't know from Gara [mountain].
Lê Hanê, m' serê xwe derxist paçîta û perdana. Oh Hane, I stuck my head out of the curtains and drapes.
M' bala zêna xwe dayê, kolê ebrê mila rûniştine li pişta xwedanê hewşan û nû dîwara. I focused my sight, the pile of clouds settled behind the owners of courtyards and new walls.
M' bala zêna xwe dayê, li hafê mala Keçobekê ebrê mila rûniştine, li hafê malana. I focused my sight, at the side of Keçobek's house the clouds settled, at the side of the houses.
M' go hezar imbavêşim, gavikê di diyo. I said I will throw a thousand [curses?], taking a step.
Berîvana belkî m' ji bîr bikim agirê vana dilana ay. Berivans [milkmaids], maybe I will forget the fire of these hearts.
Lê Hanê m' havêtî gavik di diyo, berîvana m' dî be heftar a gotin ha ha. Oh Hane, I took a step, the Berivans saw me, with amazement they said ha ha.
Vayê hana tê Ebdilazîzkan boş e milana. Here comes that one, the Abdulaziz [region] is empty of people.
Lê Hanê, b' hindir dilê m' xistin agirî heft firnana. Oh Hane, inside my heart they put the fire of seven furnaces.
M' bala zêna xwe dayê periya deşta Mûşê rîn e. I focused my sight, the fairy of the Muş plain is sitting.
Lê Hanê, m' bala zêna xwe dayê periya deşta Mûşê rîn e. Oh Hane, I focused my sight, the fairy of the Muş plain is sitting.
Kalê şêst û heftê salî xwdana pîşê xortan û ewîlana ay. An old man of sixty or seventy years holding the profession of youths and beginners.
