[Mûzîka Enstrûmental] [Instrumental Music]
Belê temaşevanên hêja, em derbasî navçeya Bilbilê bûn. Yes dear viewers, we have moved on to the Bilbil district.
Lê niha em li mala keyayê gund in. Right now we are at the house of the village headman.

Lê Apê Wrik li kêleka min e. Merheba mamosta. Uncle Wrik is by my side. Hello teacher.
Merheba, ehlen we sehlen. Ewil serî de, destpêkê, em xêrhatina televîzyona me û Ronahî li navçeya Bilbilê dikin. Hello, welcome. First of all, in the beginning, we welcome our television and Ronahî to the Bilbil district.
Hûn hatin ser serê me û ser çavê me. You are most welcome [lit: you came upon our head and eyes].
Serê te sax be, çavê te sax be. Thank you very much [lit: may your head be healthy, may your eyes be healthy].
Apê Wrik, em dixwazin tiştekî li ser navçeya Bilbilê naskin. Uncle Wrik, we want to learn something about the Bilbil district.
Yanî çiqas malbat tê de ye? Wek ez zanim dibêjin Bilbilê kaniyên tê de naskirin. Meaning, how many families are in it? As I know, they say Bilbil is known for the springs in it.
Çiqas gund girêdayî vê hene? Tiştekî ji me re xuyan bikî. How many villages are attached to it? Explain something for us.
Ewil temam, destpêkê, Bilbil bi xwe bi navê çiyayê Gir tê naskirin. First okay, in the beginning, Bilbil itself is known by the name of the Gir Mountain.
Çiyayê me yê Gir, bilindbûna wî li ser bahrê 1200 mîtro ye. Our Gir Mountain, its height above sea level is 1200 meters.
Û bi kaniya wî jî, hemû kaniya wî jî hene, feqet şeş kaniyên me... And with its springs too, all its springs are there, but our six springs...
...bêtir di Bilbilê de hene. ...are mostly in Bilbil.
Û em jî destpêkê, Bilbil bi şeş aîla dihat naskirin. And we, in the beginning, Bilbil was known by six families.
Feqet çi bû? Her aîleke li çokekî rûniştibûn. Her aîleke li derekê rûniştibûn. But what happened? Every family was settled in a spot. Every family was settled in a place.
Jiber ku me'zcî bûn. Xwedî pez bûn. Bilbil ne di ciyê xwe da bû. Because they were goatherds. They owned sheep/goats. Bilbil was not in its [current] place.
Li ku derê rûniştibûn berê? Where were they settled before?
Hinek li Berkêşê rûniştibûn, vê re digotin 'Tûyê Husik'. Some were settled in Berkêş, they called it 'Tûyê Husik'.
Hinek li Geylê Eqa bûn. Hinek li Hêra Mêrzê... Some were at Geylê Eqa. Some at Hêra Mêrzê...
Hinek li Rîşê Hesen Kuwêda bûn. Yanî her aîlek li derekê rûniştibûn. Some were at Rîşê Hesen Kuwêda. Meaning every family was settled in a place.
Feqet av tenê bû. Li vî darnê av tenê bû. But the water was scarce. In this area, water was scarce.
Li ciyê Bilbilê niha, gund lê ava bûye, av hebû. At the current location of Bilbil, where the village is built, there was water.
Hirşê vê gelek pir bû. Gî dar bû, gî qamûş bû. Its thicket was very dense. It was all trees, it was all reeds.
Heya heywanatên berrî hebûn, di wir de dijiyan. Milet nikarîbû hata ava xwe bibira. There were even wild animals living there. The people couldn't even fetch their water.
Daxêk jinê dihatin, wê demê ku dihatin ava xwe bibira, ne, zilamê wan jî tev sîlahê xwe dihatin, heya av dihatin ji vê derê dibirin. When the women came, at that time when they came to fetch their water, no, their men would also come with their weapons, just so they could fetch water from here.
Di vî derî de çi bû? Di dema Osmaniyan de, wanê di vêra dibêjin 'pere tûp dikirin', li ser milet digerin, digotin 'vêrgî'. What happened in this place? In the time of the Ottomans, they—what they call 'collecting money'—would go around the people, asking for 'taxes'.
Wê jî sehkir, rehet dibê yanî. Tê her aîlek, her malbatek li çokê rûniştiye. They realized it would be easier [to defend themselves]. Since every family, every household was settled in a different spot.
Kir aqil, got werin, xêr e çima gî kom nabin, di hindir vê derê, ser vê kaniyê rûnanin? They reasoned, they said come, why don't we all gather, inside this place, and settle by this spring?
Ê got em rûnin, temam. Dê aqilê xwe çûn ser hevdu, top bûn hatin. They said let's settle, okay. They put their minds together, gathered and came.
Di dema ku hatin li vê derê, li ciyê avê ku gund şên bikin, jiyan bikin, ê got temam, em ê navê gundê xwe çi lêkin? At the time they came here, to the place of water to populate the village, to live, they said okay, what shall we name our village?
Navekî ciyê Bilbilê, no, gund tê nebû. Her malbatek li çokê rûniştibû. A name for the place of Bilbil, no, the village wasn't there. Every family was settled in a spot.
Bilbil jikanî? Navê Bilbilê. Where is Bilbil from? The name Bilbil.
Navê Bilbilê, ne me got... Piştî ku deng... Eke nav lê bikin. Seh kirin çûkek, teyrek, li ser darê dixwîne. The name Bilbil, didn't we say... After the sound... They were going to name it. They heard a bird, a fowl, singing on the tree.
Gotin, pirs kirin, gotin navê vê teyrî çi ye? Gotin navê vî 'Bilbil' e. They said, they asked, they said what is the name of this bird? They said its name is 'Bilbil' [Nightingale].
Gotin temam, bila navê vir jî bibe Bilbil. Û nav lê kirin Bilbil. Û heya niha jî bi vî navî tê naskirin. They said okay, let the name of this place be Bilbil too. And they named it Bilbil. And until now it is known by this name.
Niha destpêkê te got, çiya li cem me heye 1200 mîtro. Now at the start you said, we have a mountain that is 1200 meters.
Wek ez zanim dibêjin, ji hela jûr, Keleha Helebê jî xuya dike. As I know they say, from the upper side, the Citadel of Aleppo is also visible.
Yanî Heleb jî vir va xuya dike. Yanî ji vira heya Helebê ne sed kîlometre ye, na? Meaning Aleppo is visible from here. Meaning from here to Aleppo isn't it a hundred kilometers, no?
Û yanî, ji vir va Keleha Helebê xuya dike? Ma ewqas bilind e? And so, the Citadel of Aleppo is visible from here? Is it that high?
Me got ewil bi xwe 1200 mîtro ye. Îrtîfa, bilindbûna vê pir e, li ser Heleb ketiye. Loma xuya tê. We said first it is 1200 meters itself. The altitude, its height is great, it overlooks Aleppo. That is why it is visible.
Bi şev, kehrabê wê nîşan... temamîna xuya nake. At night, its electricity [lights] show... it doesn't show completely.
Bi roj xuya nake, bes bi şev tê? It's not visible by day, but comes [into view] by night?
Bi roj dûman dibe, mij çêdibe. Bi roj xuya nake. Bes bi şev temamîna Heleb xuyaye, tê dîtin. By day there is smoke, fog forms. It's not visible by day. But by night all of Aleppo is visible, it is seen.
Li serî çiyayê Gir, vêra dibêjin. On top of the Gir Mountain, they call it.
Me got Bilbil bi çiyayê Gir tê naskirin. Qestel heye. Kaniya wê heya niha heye. We said Bilbil is known by the Gir Mountain. There is the Qestel [Fountain]. Its spring exists until now.
Berê dema berê, Osmaniyan li da... her heta niha, ciyê me'zciya tê de heye. Before in the old times, the Ottomans in... even until now, the place of the goatherds is there.
Gî dor wê toxim girtine. Gî xwedî pez bûn. Li serê Gir jiyan hebû, heyat hebû. They have walled all around it. They were all sheep owners. There was life on top of Gir, there was existence.
Bes piştî Bilbil li virê şên bû, milet gî daket li ser vê kaniyê rûnişt. But after Bilbil was populated here, the people all came down and settled at this spring.
Apê Wrik, te got çend malbat di vir de hene? Uncle Wrik, you said how many families are here?
Me got şeş malbat di Bilbilê de, êd esas hene. Yek ji wan... We said six families in Bilbil, the original ones. One of them...
...malbata Cibko. Yek ji wan Xûra heye. Yek ji wan Hemlera heye. ...the Cibko family. One of them is Xûra. One of them is Hemlera.
Yek jî ji wan, malê Dadoxa ne. Yek jî malê Hecî Şêxelîl heye. Malê Qadûrlera heye. And one of them, are the Dadoxa family. And one is the Hecî Şêxelîl family. The Qadûrlera family is there.
Û kesî din jî heye? Ji gund hatine yan... ? And is there anyone else? Did they come from the village or...?
Demê gund ava bû, şûnda, demê Axa ketin gundê me... After the village was built, when the Agha came into our village...
Berê Axa, ne, bawerim Hesikê... Hesikê Kûroxlî, ji malbata Cibko bû. Mirovakî pir qebadayî bû. Before the Agha, no, I believe Hesik... Hesikê Kûroxlî, was from the Cibko family. He was a very tough man.
Û jiber hewla li hember axaleran sekinî. Destpêkê Axa di Bilbilê de tune bû. Axa li gundê Bêkê rûniştibû. And because of his strength he stood against the Aghas. In the beginning, there was no Agha in Bilbil. The Agha lived in Bêkê village.
Tima'ê wan ket Bilbilê. Gotin werin di Bilbilê de rûnin. Hesik li hemberê derket. They coveted Bilbil. They said come let's settle in Bilbil. Hesik stood against him.
Got "Ez nahêlim Axa were di gundê me keve". Jiber Axa di kîjan gundî keve, di kîjan mintîqê de cî bigire, xirab dibe yanî. He said "I will not let the Agha come and enter our village". Because whichever village the Agha enters, whichever region he takes place in, it becomes bad.
Li hemberê sekinî, rabûn bi destî, kirin xirab... Hesik dan kuştinê. Heya hatin di vir de rûniştin. He stood against him, they stood up with force, did bad things... They had Hesik killed. Until they came and settled here.
Ê navçeya Bilbilê çiqas mal e? So how many houses [households] is Bilbil district?
Di vê demê de dor 500 mal e. 500 mal e. 45 gund ji... gundî hene, ew jî tabe'ê navçeya Bilbilê ne. At this time it is around 500 houses. 500 houses. There are 45 villages... villages, they are also dependent on the Bilbil district.
Û sazî di wê, hemû li vir hene? And the institutions in it, are they all here?
Saziyê me gişkî hene, hemû hene. Virê merkez e me got, ne navçe ye. Ê hemû sazî jî di navçê de ava dibin. All our institutions are here, all of them. Here is the center we said, isn't it a district. And all institutions are established in the district.
Mala gel e, saziyê jinê ne, çand û hûner e... The People's House, women's institutions, art and culture...
Zatî hewa di dema, di vê derê de, hem Îdara Zatiyê me got... Actually the atmosphere in the time, in this place, also the Self Administration we said...
...ava kirin di Rojava da, hemû sazî, Rêveberiya dema, di wê demê de, zatî hemû sazî li vir hatin ava kirin. ...established in Rojava, all institutions, the Administration of the time, at that time, actually all institutions were established here.
Û heya niha jî berdewam dike û ê tim jî berdewam bike, hîn roj bi rojê jî ê mezintir bibe. And until now it continues and will always continue, and day by day it will get bigger.
Temaşevanên hêja, wek me got, em hatin ser Qestelê. Dear viewers, as we said, we came to the Qestel [Fountain].
Ev kaniya... ev şeş kanî li vir hene. Jiyek hev va, vêra dibêjin Qestel. This spring... there are six springs here. One of these, they call it Qestel.
Ev di orta navçeya Bilbilê da ye. Lê hîn em ê zêde naskin ji Birê Omer. This is in the middle of the Bilbil district. But we will learn more from Brother Omer.
Birê Omer li kêleka min e. Em ê vê navê xuyan bike ji me re baştir. Merheba mamosta. Brother Omer is by my side. He will explain this name to us better. Hello teacher.
Merheba, ser çava. Em xêrhatin... Hello, welcome. We welcome...
Destpêkê, hatina we, em hatin heta... televîzyona Ronahî, taybetî bernama "Ax û Welat", em xêrhatin... ser çavê me re, heya biderî hatine. First of all, your arrival, we came until... Ronahî television, especially the program "Ax û Welat", we welcome... most welcome, you came all the way here.
Me got, wek te xuyan kirî, û Apê Wrik jî got, ev kaniya, vêra dibêjin Qestel, kaniya orta gund e yanî. We said, as you explained, and Uncle Wrik also said, this spring, they call it Qestel, it is the spring in the middle of the village.
Yanî mesela, berê jî dîmenê bi xwe da gotin, mesela Bilbil berê li vir tune bû, yanî gund Bilbil li vir tune bû. Meaning for example, before in the images themselves they said, for example Bilbil was not here before, meaning the village Bilbil was not here.
Ev çiyayên... dûr yanî. Her her cîk, bi navê malbatekê... These mountains... far away. Every place, by the name of a family...
Mesela, wek gotina... mesela Cibko, mesela, ciyê Cibko heye, mesela Xeraşa, li kumreşê rûniştibûn... li Tûyê Husik rûniştibûn... For example, as they say... for example Cibko, for example, there is Cibko's place, for example Xeraşa, they were settled at Kumreş... they were settled at Tûyê Husik...
Ev piştra mesela bûn, yanî di wextê xwe da, wextê ku berê wara ve da, yanî dizanê mesela milet jî tim li hember ciyê av digere. This happened later, meaning in its time, in the time before when they were there, meaning you know people always look for a place with water.
Ciyê ku av tune be, jiyan nabe, heyat nabe. A place where there is no water, there is no life, there is no existence.
Lê wara, mesela pir... ra'd bûn, heta şu... mesela... But they, for example very... were scattered, until... for example...
Dûre dema tenê... av, kaniya li ber hebû. Afterward, when alone... water, there was a spring nearby.
Mesela ser kaniyê, ortê bûn, dar û ber bûn û maşellah bûn û zehmetê pir dîtin. For example, at the spring, they were in the middle, there were trees and vegetation, it was wonderful (mashallah), though they saw much hardship.
Pîngek hebû mesela, Pînga Bilbile. There was a step (ledge) for example, the Nightingale's Step.
Lewra navê Bilbile ji wê tê yanî. That is why the name "Bilbile" (Nightingale) comes from there.
Yanî mesela kaniyên me yên pir mesela... kaniya ber kaşê pir in. I mean, for example, our springs are many, for example... the springs at the slope are numerous.
Mesela kaniyê ber kaşê hene, bin av û deng in mesela... For example, there are springs at the slope, they are underwater and loud, for example...
Kaniya Gilberkêş? The Gilberkêş Spring?
Bi xwe kaniya Hemîd... Gilberkêş e... Li taxa me ye mesela. Personally, Hemid's spring... is Gilberkêş... It is in our neighborhood, for example.
Navê wê ber kaşê ye? Is its name "At the slope"?
Kaniyên me yê din hene mesela, Kaniya Êsê heye. We have other springs for example, there is Ese's Spring.
Osman heye, Kenarî heye, Qestela Jûr heye mesela. There is Osman's, there is Kenari, there is the Upper Fountain for example.
Selîb û çayê me bilind, serê çiyayê gir heye. We have the Cross and high stream, there is the top of the big mountain.
Kaniya Hemedê hebû mesela. There was Hemed's Spring, for example.
Kanîk li digotin... Ser Tirbê Kelxelîl, ew jî hebû. A spring they called... On the Kelxelîl Tomb, that existed too.
Ema ew bi xwe ev kaniya... berî mesela... ne wek naha wate yanî. But specifically this spring... before, for example... it wasn't like it is now, in that sense.
Gorî mesela, me, em negihîştinê, hema ji me re behs dikirin mesela. According to, for example, us—we didn't witness it, but they used to tell us about it.
Yanî heba, çekirin, kaniya li pişta me ye ev kanî. I mean, if it existed, it was built, the spring is behind us, this spring.
Li ber vê kaniyê, aşek hebû. Next to this spring, there was a mill.
Aşê Elî Seydo? Ali Seydo's Mill?
Aşê Elî Seydo yanî. Ali Seydo's Mill, exactly.
Tine? Is it gone?
Na, na tine ye. Hema... No, no it is gone. Just...
Hema pir dikin... warê digotin, digotin kaniya mala Elî Seydo. They mention it often... they called the place, they called it the Spring of Ali Seydo's family.
Ew jî... bar dikin ji... cîbkaran. They too... migrated from... the work areas.
Û ev li vir jî ortê gund bû mesela milet... yanî bi hev re bûn mesela. And here was the middle of the village, for example the people... I mean they were together.
Ew gî çêkirin, go em... vê kaniyê çêkin boy mesela hewana dewletê av jê dibirin. They built all that, they said let us... fix this spring because, for example, the state authorities used to take water from it.
Digotin bilbilên kevin, ortê... bilbilên kevin hebûn. They spoke of the old nightingales, in the middle... there were old nightingales.
Hemû tiştê xwe gişt azîm bûn biraye min. Everything of theirs was completely determined/strong, my brother.
Kincê xwe li ber dişûştin. They washed their clothes by it (the spring).
Hiriyê xwe li ber dikirin. They processed their wool by it.
Dewara xwe li ber... av didan. Their livestock by it... they watered them.
Yanî carna, av... av ji boy malbaxçan jî ber didan. I mean sometimes, water... they released water for the home gardens too.
Yanî ev... taybetî mesele pey qestelê ev bûn yanî. I mean this... specifically regarding the issue of the fountain, these were the things.
Yanî milet çêkir ji boy... ihtiyaciya wan pê gherîkî bû. I mean the people built it for... their need for it was great.
Ji boy her tiştî wan pê gerek e. They needed it for everything.
Xwedê jê razî mesela li jêrî me bûn, mesela jêrî me heye mesela digotin Binê Bîstana. May God be pleased with them, for example they were below us, for example below us there is a place they called "Binê Bîstana" (Below the Orchards).
Du baxçe bûn. There were two orchards.
Yanî her însanekî mesela baxçê xwe hebû, pê baxçe av didan, kar dikirin. I mean every person, for example, had their own garden, they watered the garden with it, they worked.
Ê ava derê we? And the water of your valley/area?
Ev derê bû de, are yanî. It was this valley/area, yes indeed.
Piştî berê mesela derê, ve digotin Binê Bîstana. After the front, for example the valley, they called this "Binê Bîstana".
Li wir mesela baxçe hebûn ber, îse... yanî tiştê xweyî giring wan diçandin. Over there, for example, there were gardens before, now... I mean they planted their important things.
Ne bi baxçê pir, ji boy malê yanî, ji boy îdarekirinê yanî. Not huge orchards, just for the household, for subsisting/managing.
Ev bûn yanî. That was it.
Dewarê xwe pê didênî yanî. They watered their livestock with it.
Qestel ev bû yanî. This was the fountain.

Û vêra tembûrvan birê Kemal li vêraye, tembûrê dixe. Û birê Nebî Beyrem. Merheba ji te ra. And here, the tambour player brother Kemal is here, playing the tambour. And brother Nebî Beyrem. Hello to you.

Sax bî. Apê Mihemed, çend sal e tu distirê stranan dibêjî? Be healthy. Uncle Mihemed, how many years have you been singing songs?
Welle strana, em biçûk bûn zarok bûn, me... me debêt. Bes... ji wê çaxê da hetanî naha, yanî em nabêjin... Well songs, when we were small, were children, we... we sang. But... from that time until now, meaning we don't call ourselves singers...
Bes dê me ji bîr nekirin, yek şor ji bîra me neçû. Me mumarise nekir, elbet. Me tim wiha mumarise nekir. But we didn't forget them, not a single word left our memory. We didn't practice professionally, of course. We didn't always practice like that.
Bes em biçûk û zarok bûn, em diçûn ber dewar, çêlek û pez, me diketin meselen ber dewarê xwe, me ji xwe ra digot. But we were small and children, we went herding cattle, cows and sheep, we would fall into [the mood] with our cattle, and we sang to ourselves.
Me gulana m'secla... m'secle jî ne derketibûn. Meraqa me l'ser hebû. Işta yek şor... We used to put on reels of recorders... actually recorders hadn't even come out yet. We had a passion for it. So, one word...
Te guhdariya kê dikir? Who did you listen to?
Guldariya Cemîl Horo me dikir. Ê Elî Tûjo me dikir, Bavê Elî. We listened to Cemîl Horo. We listened to Elî Tûjo, Bavê Elî.
Hunermendên vir kevn, kî ne? Who are the old artists from here?
Hunermendên vir, nefsê vê gundî, yanî... Artists from here, from this village itself, meaning...
Na ê gund na, ê herêma Efrînê. No not the village, of the Afrin region.
Hebû, Eylê Kopê hebû, Reşîdê Mem Çûçanê hebû, Xwedê rehma xwe li wan bike, rehma mîreba li wan be. There was... Eylê Kopê was there, Reşîdê Mem Çûçanê was there, may God have mercy on them, may the Lord's mercy be upon them.
Hecî Nazê hebû, Evdê Şa're hebû... Bavê... navê wî çi bû? Hecî Nazê was there, Evdê Şa're was there... Bavê... what was his name?
Bavê Sele? Bavê Sele?
Rast e, Elîk hebû, Beytaz hebû. Rast e Elîk hebû, Beytaz hebû. That's right, Elîk was there, Beytaz was there. That's right, Elîk was there, Beytaz was there.
Te guhdariya wan giyan dikir? Did you listen to all of them?
Welle me guhdarî dikir, de hinek hen, ew çaxê hewna, kelîmet di bîra me de bûn, me pir... ê me Cemîl Horo me guhdarî dikir. Well we listened, there are some, at that time, the words stayed in our memory, we mostly... we listened to Cemîl Horo.
Ê baş e, naha tê çi ji me ra bistirê? Okay, now what will you sing for us?
Ya me nika, harfekî mêvanan û muhbeta bidin. De ev jî tûrasek, tûrasekî kevn e, hav jî. Well now, we will present a piece for guests and love. And this is a heritage, an old heritage, this one too.
Yanî bavê... qelemkda... Cemîl Horo dida ye. Xwedê rehma xwe lêke. Meaning... [unclear]... Cemîl Horo performed it. May God have mercy on him.
Yanî, min ji wî însanî pir hez dikir. Meaning, I loved that person very much.
Dê kerem ke Apê Mihemed. Please go ahead, Uncle Mihemed.
