Hayî gelek spas bû te jî. Em dixwazin destpêkê em navê gundê Kurrê nas bikin. Thank you very much to you too. We would like to first get to know the name of Kurre village.
Ev nav ji ku hatiye? Çima tê gotin? Where did this name come from? Why is it called that?
Navê gund... ji destpêkê gundê Kurrê perçek ji perçê Meydana, heft perçak... The name of the village... from the beginning Kurre village is a piece of the Meydana parts, seven parts...
Gundê Kurrê... gundekî ciwan e. Kurre village... is a beautiful village.
Lê navê gund, gundê Kurrê, paşgindê em binêrin çiyak heye li vî alî... But the name of the village, Kurre village, behind if we look there is a mountain on this side...
Heft çiya... vêra dibêjin Çiyayê Kurrê. Seven mountains... they call this Kurre Mountain.
Navê gund ji navê wî çiyayî va hatiye. The village name comes from the name of that mountain.
Navê gundê we ji wî çiyayî va hatiye? Your village name comes from that mountain?
Gundê we jî di quntara wî çiyayî da hatiye avakirin? And your village was built at the foot of that mountain?
Erê, belê. Li quntara wî çiyayî da hatiye avakirin. Yes, indeed. It was built at the foot of that mountain.
Teqrîben em karin bêjin heftê û pênc mal in. Approximately we can say there are 75 houses.
Gund, helbet gund heftê û pênc mal in. The village, certainly the village is 75 houses.
Lê teqrîben dehe malbat in. Malbatên mezin... dehe malbat in. But approximately ten families. Big families... ten families.
Nav gundê we heftê û pênc mal in, û ji dehe malbatan in? Inside your village are 75 houses, and from ten families?
Deh malbat, reîsî hene... ê seruk yanî ê esasî. Ten families, there are main ones... heads, meaning the basic ones.
Ê destpêkê vî gundî avakirî kî bû? Who was the one who originally built this village?
Destpêkê vî gundî avakirî... navê gundê... Şêx Mehmed bû. The one who originally built this village... the name of the village... was Sheikh Mehmed.
Şêx Mehmed, hewa însanekî... ji gundekî hat, ji gundê Çuyî da... Kerkûtê... Sheikh Mehmed, was a person... came from a village, from Chuyi village... Kerkut...
Li ser sînor bû, hat vê derê. Li ser vê deştê, li vî gundî nîzaek çêbû. It was on the border, he came here. On this plain, in this village a dispute happened.
Rabû dîtin, heft mêr hatin kuştin. So they saw, seven men were killed.
Çaxê heft mêr hatin kuştin şunda sa... milet pir ji hev da xeyidî... pir ji hevda siqil mîş bû. When seven men were killed afterwards... the people were very upset with each other... very troubled with each other.
Rabûn... ku çêkirin... li ber vî gundî... rabûn malê Şêx Bekir... pismamê xwe şandin... vêra digotin Şêx Mehmed. They got up... made [peace]... regarding this village... the family of Sheikh Bekir got up... sent their cousin... they called him Sheikh Mehmed.
Hat vê derê qederê însanekî zekî bû... baqil bû... kanî silhetê di mabeyna vî miletî kira. He came here, he was quite an intelligent person... wise... he could make peace among these people.
Nîza li ser çi çêbû? Li ser vê deştê çêbû. Vêra digotin 'Neletme'. What was the dispute over? It happened over this plain. They called it 'Naletme' [Cursed].
Kesî nekanî xwînê li vê derê bigirta nora. No one could stop the blood here then.
Digotin 'Welle deşta Neletme li hatiye'. They said 'By God, the plain of Naletme has come to it'.
Yanî ev gundê we destpêkê Şêx Mehmed hat... piştî wî jî ev miletê gundê din... ji gundê Meydanê derbas bûn? So your village, first Sheikh Mehmed came... after him these other village people... crossed over from Meydana village?
Ji gundê Meydana derbas bûn. They crossed from Meydana village.
Kes ji der ve nehatiye. No one came from outside.
Giş gundê Meydana li wir hatine. All from Meydana village came there.
Giş Meydanliq in hatine. They are all Meydana locals who came.
Go ji naha gundê we heftê û pênc mal in. You said now your village is 75 houses.
Nexêr, heftê û pênc mal in. Deh malbat esasî têda ne. No, 75 houses. Ten main families are in it.
Em karin wan malbatan bielebikin. Malbatên selef vêra dibêjin mala Reşkî Welîkê. We can list those families. Ancestral families are called House of Reshki Welike.
Paşê dibin mala Elîkî Çûlê. Then House of Eliki Chule.

Cemaem tabî eşîreta Şêxan in. Our community is subject to the Sheikhan tribe.
Em behsa gundê we bikin... ew kanî, bîr der hene? Let's talk about your village... are there springs, wells there?
Bîrê vî gundî tunene. This village has no wells.
Em kanin bibînin... bes qestel heye li Gêşîwîda... çaxê milet berê bi haceta avê bûn... We can see... only a fountain exists in Geshivida... when people were in need of water before...
... û heta nuka ne bi haceta avê bûn... bi kera, bi şulifa diçûn ava xwe li qestelê dianîn dihatin. ... and until now they were in need of water... they used to go with donkeys, with sacks, bring their water from the fountain and come.

Hew Bîra Defere... em kanin bibînin di zemanê Fransa da çêbû. That Defere Well... we can see it was made in the time of the French.
Fransa... xêra navlênan Meydana... lewra hav mantiqa me tevda... sahetî tedrîbê bû. France... benefit/reason for naming Meydana... because this whole area of ours... was a training field.
Çiqasî cêş dihat... dihat li vir tedrîb dibû... tedrîbê xwe d’xistin. However many armies came... came here and trained... did their training.
Berê da bi hespa bû... hesp av gerek e... rabû Fransa îcbar bîrek ji wir kolan. In the past it was with horses... horses need water... France stood up and was forced to dig a well there.
Bîrek li wir kolan... vêra dibêjin Bîra Defere. They dug a well there... they call it Defere Well.
Em behsa gundê we bikin... destpêkê behsa Şêx Mehmed kir. Let's talk about your village... first you mentioned Sheikh Mehmed.

Nas dibû di vî gundî da... yek hebû nav pir xanedan bû... yanî yek li kûva ba, dihat li wê derê. Known in this village... there was one, the name was very noble... meaning wherever one was, they came there.

Û Mamoste Tevfîq hem di nahîya Raco û tevda... hebû li vê mantiqê... li gundê Kurrê. And Teacher Tevfiq was also in the Raco district and all... he was in this area... in Kurre village.
Vêra dibûn Mehmê Mehmedê... mamostekî... bêhna kem bû... qiçik dixwandin li wê derê... They called him Mehme Mehmede... a teacher... [unclear]... taught children there...
Di sala hezar nehsed û sî û şeşa da... başlemîş xwendina qiçika kir. In the year 1936... he started teaching the children.
Piştî du sal, sê sala... rabû Cemîl Behrî Kinê hat... şexsek hat vêra digotin Cemîl Behrî Kinê... After two, three years... Cemil Bahri Kine came... a person came called Cemil Bahri Kine...

Qiçik bi xwandin dan... teqrîben sê sala bi xwandin dan... paşê gotin 'Welle em biftilin herin Raco'. He educated the children... approximately three years he educated them... then they said 'By God let's turn and go to Raco'.
Li wê derê çûn Raco bi xwandin dan... Li Raco rabû li wê derê Fransa... çêl û pênca da... ji Sûriyê kişî derket. There they went to Raco to educate... In Raco, France stood up there... in the 45s... withdrew from Syria and left.
Milet giş mektûm ma... ne nifûsê xwe heye... ne îzlîmê xwe heye... tiştekî xwe tunne. The nation remained completely unregistered... no ID... no permit... they had nothing.
Rabû mudîrê nahîya Raco... navê gundê Mûsa Nisê bû... Mehmê Mehmedê kalîfon... The director of Raco district stood up... the village name was Musa Nise... Mehme Mehmede called...
... gotê were îzalet el-mektûmîyê li gundê te Raco çêke. ... said come fix the removal of unregistered status in your village Raco.
Çû çêkir... îzalet el-mektûmîye... çi qas mektûm hebûn... dihat cem Riscipîyê vî gundî... He went and did it... removal of unregistered status... however many unregistered there were... came to the Elder of this village...

Paşê gund dehat pir... Mehmê Mehmedê pir ji 'îlim hez dikir. Then the village came a lot... Mehme Mehmede loved knowledge very much.
Dehat me li Efrînê dixwend... dehat cem me... siçêl şev mabû... li cem me d'kûb dibû. He came, we studied in Afrin... he came to us... stayed 30-40 nights... gathered with us.
Ê tim çi bikira... qelemekî derxista... helbesta cîgerxwînê banî ora bîrî wa qiçikana. What would he do all the time... take out a pen... recite Cigerxwin poems to the memory of those children.

Yanî kûrbûna wê jî heta metrek, metre nîvek çêdibe. Û hemû gihîştin hev jî dibe, di vê derê de, di vê derê ra virdabû dikve, heft rojan da av hunda dibe, di vê derê ra. Meaning its depth also becomes up to a meter, a meter and a half. And all gathering together happens, in this place, through this place it falls down [drains], in seven days the water disappears, through this place.
Ava ji salê du neql, sê neql, çar neql... carna dighîne pênc-şeş neqla tijî dibe û vala hinda dibe. The water, in a year two times, three times, four times... sometimes it reaches five-six times it fills up and disappears empty.
Navê Xewrek ji ku hatiye? Ev navê Xewrekê. Where did the name Xewrek come from? This name Xewrek.
Heval, ev nav ji şikê hatiye. Çima dibêjin Xewrek? Friend, this name came from [uncertainty?]. Why do they call it Xewrek?
Na, na, bêje gol yanî... No, no, say lake meaning...
Na, hewa ji kevn da... kevn da... yanî di emrê min bî, di hindî zemanî kevn da, xudî da wano ye. No, this is from old times... from old times... meaning in my lifetime, in however much ancient time, God created it like that.
Yanî cîkî xwar e, cîkî nizm e. Jiber vê yekê gotine Xewrek. Yanî tiştekî xwar e. Meaning it is a sunken place, a low place. Because of this they called it Xewrek. Meaning a sunken thing.
Wekî navça gernel, Xewrekê bês e. Kes nikare, mimkûn e rûniştina vira jî zehmet dibe yanî. Ev cî ye. Like the general area, Xewrek is [unique/bad?]. No one can, it is possible that settling here is also difficult. This is the place.
Û ne sewal kanin biçêrin. Na, vê deştê tijî sewalê wadiyê. Û em nikarin hem wige çê, wige çê... Yanî bîtûnî Xewrek... Xewrek bîtûnî tê naskirin. And animals cannot graze. No, this plain fills with valley animals. And we cannot either this way or that way... Meaning completely Xewrek... Xewrek is known completely.
Avî vir jî tine ye. Yanî av tine, kaniyê xwe tine ne meydanê. There is no water here either. Meaning there is no water, it doesn't have its own springs in the field.
Kaniyê xwe tine ye. Cokên wanoyî zîha ye. Û heta tiştê xwe giş bejî ye, bîtûnî tê naskirin. It doesn't have its own springs. Those ditches are dry. And even all its things are rain-fed, it is known completely.
Niha te behsê kir, te got ji gundên hewanda heya şemalê av tê. Just now you mentioned, you said water comes from the surrounding villages up to the north.
Heya şemalê av tê. Water comes up to the north.
Yanî çiqas metre heye? Meaning how many meters is it?
Hevo sê kîlometre heye, çar kîlometre jî heye. Şemalê heta gewanda, yalî wî da, devgeliya meydanê, çar kîlometre jî heye. Friend, there are three kilometers, there are even four kilometers. To the north up to Gewanda, on that side, the mouth of the field's valley, is even four kilometers.
Û ferebûna, va çiyanê serî çiya da bigir û heta vir, çiqas va, giş tê vê derê. Wî va tê vir, vir va tê, derdora vê giş tê vê derê, vir da hinda dibe. And the width, take from these mountain tops up to here, however much this is, all comes to this place. That one comes here, this one comes here, all around this comes to this place, disappears through here.
Dema zivistan tê vir giş dibe av? When winter comes, does all this become water?
Giş dibe av, û di heftokê de, deh rojokê de xelas dibe. Qasî zû hinda dibe. It all becomes water, and in a week, in ten days it finishes. It disappears relatively quickly.
Di wê demê de, ev di giştî wa... erdê wa hane wa çandinî. In that time, this is all... your land here is for planting.
Çandiniya beza, wek va ardana, hinda dibe, çandiniya xwe bi avê difatise. The planting of peas, like these lands, disappears, its planting suffocates with the water.
Û paşê, heta zîha nebe nikarin biçînin. Yanî bîtûnî ye. And later, until it dries they cannot plant. Meaning it is complete.
Heta rast zivistan pir be, nikarin qut kin, bîdak bikin. Dîsa dihêlin heta zîha bibe. Bas behar xwe nade, yanî çiqo dirêj ke, heft rojane, êke xelas ke. Until truly the winter is full, they cannot cross, do sowing. Again they wait until it dries. But spring doesn't wait, meaning however long it takes, it's seven days, it will finish one.
Heft rojanda? In seven days?
Heft rojanda êke xelas ke. Nabe dehe ro, yanî. Çiqo av pir be. In seven days it will finish one. It won't be ten days, meaning. However much the water is plentiful.
Ka em te jî nas bikin? Let us get to know you too?
Em te jî nas bikin? Let us get to know you too?
Seîd, gundê Qorre. Said, village of Qorre.
Ser çavê min. You are welcome.
Seîd, îsal çend cara baran barî û li vir av kom bû? Said, how many times did it rain this year and water gathered here?
Li virê teqrîben du cara av li vir kom bû. Yanî vê zivistanê du cara li vir kom bû. Here approximately two times water gathered here. Meaning this winter two times it gathered here.
Îsal baran can bû, çawa bû? Was the rain good this year, how was it?
Baş... can, maşalla pir rind bû. Baran, elhemdulila, temam bû. Gol jî, denaxla tijî bû û rind bû yanî. Good... great, mashallah it was very good. Rain, praise be to God, was complete. The lake also, filled up a couple of times and was good meaning.
Salê çend cara cem wan vir tijî av dibe? In a year how many times does it fill with water here with you?
Yanî salê heye du cara, salê heye sê cara, salê heye carekê tijî dibe. Salê çûyî carek tenê tijî bû, tijî nebû jî ewqas. Meaning there is a year two times, a year three times, a year one time it fills. Last year only once it filled, it didn't fill that much either.
Av heya gundê çi? Water up to which village?
Heta berrekê de herê, bin gund. Until it goes to a slope, below the village.
Û ji vê çoyî, ji Beîvê va dêtê, ji Gewanda va dêtê, ji Qerebîrê va dêtê, û ji şemalê va dêtê. And from this stream, from Ba'iv it comes, from Gewanda it comes, from Qerebir it comes, and from the north it comes.
Ji heft parça gite, av gite vê derê. Wek hevalê Mehmûd gotî, heft roda jî av namîne. From seven parts all of it, water all comes to this place. As friend Mahmoud said, in seven days water doesn't remain.
Cara kes şaş dihatî ketî vê gola derbûye? Has anyone ever mistakenly come, fallen into this lake and gotten out?
Na, kes nakeve, kes newêre nîzîkî bibe. Tenê av dikişîne, he... av dikişîne, kes newêre nîzîkî bibe. No, no one falls, no one dares to get close. Only the water flows, yes... water flows, no one dares to get close.
Noha tiştek naye? Now nothing comes?
Noha em bêjin... tu temaşevanê der tenê ne... Now let's say... you are the only viewers outside...
No, taq... toyla avê, çi pîş û gemar ma be, gi dikeve devî, ewa tije girtin. Bes hema baran jî bibare, we re seke wek dibe seyahat, ava dikişîne. No, the arch... the water flow, whatever trash and dirt remained, all falls into the mouth, that clogged it. But just let it rain, look at it like it becomes a tourism spot, the water flows.
Bi xwe Xewrek pên va dikişîne, pir dikişîne. Xewrek itself pulls water down into it, pulls a lot.
Noha piştî vê dest bi çandiniyê, piştî av nema, buhar tê, hûn dest bi çandiniyê dikin, filo? Now after this you start planting, after the water is gone, spring comes, you start planting, right?
Piştî av nema, dest bi bîdaka dikin, bi çandiniya bîstana, mesele, nok bin, noka diçînin, bîstana diçînin, piştî baran nema şûva. After the water is gone, they start sowing, with planting patches, for example, be it chickpeas, they plant chickpeas, plant patches, after the rain is gone completely.
Lranê de bîdakê xwe dikin, rez pîşî gund gir rez in e. Û zeytûn e. Rez yanî ber vê derê ra rind dibin. Nacih dibin rez pîşî gund. In the ruins/fields they do their sowing, vineyards in front of the village are many vineyards. And olives. Vineyards meaning in this place become good. Vineyards in front of the village become successful.
Nixirû reza nabe vê derê. Pîşî gund ro. Bîstana, cîhê bîstana, gundir be, bejan bin, tiştê wano pir diçînin, kûsa, tiştê wano, yanî bejî dibe. Av cema tine ye. Other than vineyards it doesn't happen here. In front of the village. Patches, place of patches, be it beets, be it rain- fed, they plant many such things, zucchini, things like that, meaning it is rain-fed. There is no water with us.
Cema gi bejî ye. With us everything is rain-fed.
Heval, te got li vê derê ku av zêde tije dibe, ku va xetimî, av di şemalê reçe dike. Friend, you said in this place when water fills up too much, if this gets clogged, the water flows to the north.
Şemalê reçe dike, avê ku bes ev bixetimîsa, zêde gemar û mamar tê ketê. Were xetimandin, av gi der di şemalê ra tê der. Flows to the north, the water if only this gets clogged, too much dirt and stuff falls in. If it gets clogged, all water comes out through the north.
Yanî di vir diçe wira? Meaning from here it goes there?
Di vir derbasî wir dibe. From here it passes to there.
Tije dibe temam? Zêde kûr dibe? It fills up completely? Does it get very deep?
Tije dibe temam, zêde kûr dibe, îrtîfaê genî teqrîben ser du metro dikeve wanobî ser. Gi darrê ava xwe di şemalê ra derbas dibe. It fills up completely, gets very deep, its elevation reaches approximately over two meters like that. All the flow of its water passes through the north.
Spas bu te jî. Thanks to you too.
Sax be, ehlen we sehlen. Long live, welcome.
Sax be. Em dîsa werin cem te. Te dixwazî tiştekî din bêjî ser vê Xewrekê? Long live. We come back to you. Do you want to say anything else about this Xewrek?
Heval, di kevn da digotin, vê derê kesê nizanî xetimandin, gotî hela ka av kî ku de harrê yanî. Friend, in the old times they said, in this place someone unknown clogged it, said let's see where the water goes.
Ê dibî qesrî çi jî bî, îcbar bî av yolî şemalê ra çî, wek Seîd gotî. Paşê hatin derxistin yanî, dibî hino melfeq kir serî darekî û anî kirî avêt. So it was a palace or whatever, it was forced that water went to the north side, as Said said. Later they came and took it out, maybe some hook/tool they made on the end of a stick and brought it and threw it.
Paşê yanî derxistin, gotî av harrê. Û dibî wa ava jî hino tecrube kir, hewa em negiştinê û yanî em nikanin av bikin zêde. Later meaning they took it out, said let the water go. And maybe they experimented with that water too, well we didn't reach it and meaning we cannot make water too much.
Wanî ko kirinî, gotiya leket Kora derê. Ko jî vira berdan. They made it like that, they said look it came out at Kora [Kilk]. Chaff was also released here.
Diçî deştî... ewê ra derket, deştî... bini şemalê ra... ber avê reş ra... Kîlkê ra derket. Kaniya Kîlkê lûre. It goes to the plain... it came out there, plain... below the north... by the black water... came out at Kilk. The spring of Kilk is up there.
Dibin kaniya Kîlkê, av... avê xwe deştê ra çêdike ber avê ra. Dibîd wira derket. They say the spring of Kilk, water... makes its water through the plain by the water. Maybe it came out there.
Heva em nizanin, dibî tûnî hot... Friend we don't know, maybe completely it came...
Gotin pêşiyan bû? Was it an ancestors' saying?
Heva gotin pêşiya me bihîst tûnî, ê dmezin... ê dmezin wano niqaş dikirin. Friend, ancestors' saying we heard completely, the elders... the elders discussed like that.
Mala we ava be. May your house be prosperous.
Ser çava, ser çava. You are welcome, you are welcome.
Spas bu we. Thanks to you.
Sax be. Long live.
Saeta we xweş. Have a good time.
Hêjayî pîrxistinê ye ku li gund yariygeheke futbolê heye. Ciwanên gund di dema vala de lê dileyîzin. It is worth mentioning that there is a football field in the village. The youth of the village play there in their free time.
Aşek li gund heye. Di sala 1950î de li ser destê Hisênê Şêxê Sinê hatibû avakirin. There is a mill in the village. It was built in the year 1950 at the hands of Hussein Sheikh Sin.
Navendeke çandiniyê di sala 1987an de li gund hatiye avakirin heye. There is an agricultural center built in the village in the year 1987.
Ew navend weke ciheke şêwiriya çandiniyê ye, ku alîkariyên dabar û karûbarên çandiniyê pêşkêşî cotkaran dike. That center is like an agricultural consultation place, which offers supply assistance and agricultural affairs to the farmers.

Berê hebûn. Noka televizyon hene, noka şî cîhaz hene, qicik diçin mektebê, nizanin lîstik. There were in the past. Now there are televisions, now there are these devices, the kids go to school, they don't know games.

Wekî de hew bû, de ma pirr nedie. Îja me master zanîn. Ê me hew bû. Like that, it was just that, well not much came of it. So we knew better. That was ours.
'Çavşirdonî' bû, 'serlingî', hana destê xwe didan lingê xwe, sar davêtin. It was 'Çavşirdonî', 'serlingî', um, they put their hands on their legs, threw them up.
Ga lê ket, ê din va dixwar. Wana bû. Em pirr nizanin. When it hit, the other one would lose. It was like that. We don't know much.

Şta berê zemanê, berê bî, tû nî em dilîstin xora. Noka jî qicik nalîzin. Things of past times, it was past, you know we played by ourselves. And now kids don't play.
Noka qicik... wek fedî dikin bilîzin. Ê berê em dilîstin. Lê? Now kids... seem shy to play. But before, we played. Right?
Berê 'eyb û ar' tune bû cema. Noka jî ew noken. In the past, there was no 'shame' among us. And now they do that.
Ê vê doğê televizyon tenê bûn, tişt tenê bûn. And this time there are just TVs, just things.
Noka jî şta em wena, ber ser berrê me xwe çêdikir, bê... didoyê, badan û... Now too, things like that, on the rug we prepared ourselves, without... two... twisting and...
