...berî Romana ye. Cemaşkeft tê da hene. Neqş ser hene. ...it dates back to before the Romans. There are caves in it. There are engravings on them.
Melîk Tawûs, Rû... gelek tiştên bedîl nîşan didin ku Kurmanc ji berî Romana pirr li vê derê hene. Melek Taus, faces... many evidences show that Kurds have been here long before the Romans.
Û gundekî pirr kevn e. Û gundekî pirr kevn e. And it is a very old village. And it is a very old village.
Û ev gunda, hesebî em li viderê ne, em dukulin, em dibînin gundê kevn e, mehsên de ev gunda dîsa hatiye avakirin. And this village, as we are here and we dig, we see it is an old village, meaning this village was rebuilt again.
Belê, te digot gelek gundên me li vir hene, cîyê dîrokê ne, wek hatina... gelek şer li tiştê... li ser çêbûye. Yes, you said we have many villages here that are historical sites, like the coming of... many wars and things happened over it.
Ta her demekê da hinek derbasî vir bûne? So that in every era, some people passed through here?
Ee di wê demê da jî milet koçber bûye, wekî çûye... Yes, in that time the people were displaced, like they left...
Gelek milet jî berê xwe dane Bakurê Kurdistanê, milê din... Many people headed towards North Kurdistan, the other side...
Piştî wê, ew aramî çêbû, dîsa ew milet vegeriyan e. After that, when peace was restored, those people returned.
Ê gelek gund, li ser gundekî hatiye avakirin. And many villages were built on top of [older] villages.
Ê ne wek gundê we... ji ber ku gundê Îska ye, lê berê bi navekî din dihat naskirin? Is it not like your village... because it is Iska village, but was it known by another name before?
Ee bi navekî din dihat naskirin... jê re digotin Çemê Şîn. Yes, it was known by another name... they called it Blue River (Çemê Şîn).
Çemê Şîn çibû? Av bû û hêşinahî dorçarmê he bû. What was Blue River? It was water, and there was greenery all around it.
Berî... tu dizanî berî sînor tune bû. Before... you know, before there were no borders.
Yanî em bêjin Kurmancên Tirkîyê dihatin li vir, em çûne wir. I mean, let's say the Kurds of Turkey came here, and we went there.
Meselen bû Osmaniyan, herb dikirin, direvîn dihatin vêrê. For example, under the Ottomans, they fought wars, fled, and came here.
Yanî wekî wan surgûn dikirin, dihatin vêrê. Like when they exiled them, they came here.
Û vî gundî, botnî ava bû. And this village was built from the ground up.
Û berî giya hatin teqilkirin, rûniştin... And before everyone was transferred and settled...
Li viderê? Here?
Teqil ke... ee... ewa ji muxelefatê Romana ye, tê da hikum kiran. The transfer... uh... that is from the remnants of the Romans, they ruled in it.
Ee... tim berî xwe... pîşî xwe dane dijmin. Ta dijminê wan tê lê nê, nêzîkî wan nebe. Uh... they always faced... they positioned themselves against the enemy. So their enemy wouldn't come near them.
Piştî fat.. zemanek derbas bû, dageriyan jêr. After a... a time passed, they came down.
Dageriyan jêr, xêr e, dîtin hêşinahî heye, av heye, û botnî destpêkir, milet xwe tê da rûnişt. They came down, it was good, they saw there was greenery, there was water, and construction began, the people settled in it.
Û... tehrîfê nav çêbû, paşê bû Îskan. And... the name was distorted, then it became Iskan.
Îskan, Îseken çêbû. Ji hatina milet, milet tê da kom bû. It became Iskan, Isakan (Settlement). From the coming of the people, the people gathered in it.
Ê ev navê... rêjîmê behs lê kir? Dema ew nav hatina, gund hatina... guhartin? And this name... did the regime discuss it? When those names came, were the villages... changed?
Di wê demê da wan jî kirin Erebî yanî di wê demê da? Did they Arabize them at that time?
Ewa şerî tu wekî zanî... Tirkî... Tîpê Tirkî tibalê xwe pê didî. That war, as you know... Turkish... You see the Turkish script on it.
Heta do pêr, da pîta vider... meşa me giş bi Tirkî bûn, kilsê me, tapûyên me giş bi Tirkî bûn. Until yesterday, in this place... our deeds were all in Turkish, our papers, our title deeds were all in Turkish.
Û tîpê wan gi Erebî bû. Yanî zimanê Tirkî tewarix heqî ye, nîvîsîna xwe Erebî ye. And their script was all Arabic. Meaning the Turkish language, historically speaking, its writing was Arabic.
...û Îngilîzî ye. ...and English.
Û Îngilîzî ye. Ê va Îskan behs... dibe ji wan jî derketibe. And English. So this "Iskan" topic... maybe it came from them too.
Yanî ji wari Second. Meaning from the word "Second".
Û va tûnî çêbû. Û gundekî pirr kevn e, tu xayî zanî, Keleha Seman jorî me ye. And this whole thing happened. And it is a very old village, as you well know, the Castle of Seman is above us.
Şadir, Kelekê me ye. Şadir jî gundekî pirr kevn e. Shadire is next to us. Shadire is also a very old village.
Evna... çibûn gi dêr bûn. Tabi'î kinîsê Dêr Seman bûn. These... what were they, they were all monasteries. They belonged to the Church of Deir Seman.
Ê ji boy wê yanî tarîxa gundê me, gundekî pirr pirr kevn e ez bawerim. So because of that, the history of our village, it is a very, very old village I believe.
Û gundekî wekî dibêjin, yanî... bi quweta xwe, xwe çêkir. And a village that, as they say... built itself with its own strength.
Di dudiya Osmaniya... paşê tu xayî zanî çiqa hederat ser me re derbas bûn. In the Ottoman remnants... then you well know how many civilizations passed over us.
Û hemdillah jî wekî ya dibînî, em serketî ne. And thank God, as you see, we are successful.
Û gundê me jî pêşketî ye, û şe'bê me jî... wek dibêjin, ev cîl cîlê nû ne yanî. Yanî ne eslê vî gundî ne. And our village is developed, and our people... as they say, this generation is a new generation. Meaning they are not the originals of this village.
Yanî em malbatên derbasî vir bûnê, kî bûnê? Em malbatên gundê we giştî çend malbat in? So the families that came here, who were they? How many families are there in your village in total?
Wellahî malbatên, ê derbas bûnî, û ez zanim mala apê bûn, berî giya hatin. 1740. By God, the families that came, I know it was the Ape family, they came before everyone. 1740.
Ji boy wê wextê ew ji Tirkî surgûn bûn, şerê Osmaniya dikirin, vir va derketin. Because at that time they were exiled from Turkey, they were fighting the Ottomans, they came out here.
Teqil kirin rûniştin. Piştî teqil kê, dageriyan vî gundî. They moved and settled. After the move, they came down to this village.
Paşê vî gundî, we zemanî mala Elo jî hatin. Then to this village, at that time the Elo family also came.
Û va gunda botnî mezin bû, bi hev ra, bi kêf û xweş. And this village grew together, with each other, in joy and happiness.
Heta nokê bi hev ra rind in, û giya hevdu hez dikin, û tiştê nerind hemdillah li nav me da tûne ye. Until now they are good with each other, and everyone loves each other, and there is nothing bad among us, thank God.
Yanî gundê we du malbat in? So your village consists of two families?
Destpêkê du malbat bûn. In the beginning, there were two families.
Kesê dî jî derbasî vir bûn? Did anyone else come here?
Wellah na, ev malbatên gundê me ne, ev malbatên gundê me id esasî yekemîn hatini. By God no, these are the families of our village, these are the primary families of our village that came first.
Û heya niha ew du malbatana mane? And those two families remain until now?
Ew du malbatana mezin bûn, fereh bûn... mala Elo kî... ew jî teqrîben nîvî gund girtin. Those two families grew, they expanded... the Elo family... they took up almost half the village.
Û nîvî din jî, bi xwe meriv hevine, jinên xwe anîne, zewacên ji gundên din çêdibin... And the other half, they are related to each other, they brought their wives, marriages happen with other villages...
Û pirr şerawa jî dageriyan cem me. Ji Şerawa jî hatine cem me. And many from Sherawa also came down to us. From Sherawa they came to us too.
Yanî bereke ji wan... bereke ji wan. Û malbatên mala apê, em li viderê ne. Meaning a part of them... a part of them. And the Ape families, we are here.
Û ceme jî... yanî gundekî pêşketî ye. Doxtor ji me derketin, muhendis ji me derketin, seydelî ji me derketin, sen'etkar pirr xweş ji me derketin. And our community... is a developed village. Doctors came from us, engineers came from us, pharmacists came from us, very good craftsmen came from us.
Wek çi yanî? Like what?
Ee meqla'at kevir a, necaraqê, bi bêtonê... yanî sen'et... Uh, stone quarries, carpentry, concrete... meaning crafts...
Û Şêx Ebdulhemîd jî ji cem me ye. Ew jî şêxekî wekî dibên, navdayî ye. And Sheikh Abdulhamid is also from us. He is a sheikh who is, as they say, renowned.
Mehmûdê El-Kurê. Mehmûdê El-Kurê.
Mehmûdê El-Kurê, kilama dida, ceme ew jî navekî xwe çêkiribû, dengê xwe xweş bû. Kilamên kevn didan. Mehmûdê El-Kurê, he sang songs, he also made a name for himself among us, his voice was beautiful. He sang old songs.
Yanî ew... zani... ê niha gundê we, hin Misilman in û hin Êzdî ne? Kîjan malbata Misilman e, kîjan Êzdî ye? So that... you know... now your village, some are Muslim and some are Yazidi? Which family is Muslim and which is Yazidi?
Wellahî ê Êzdî ceme, ê tişkê hindik mane. By God, the Yazidis among us, a few remain.
Ee malbatên Êzdî ceme, mala Elî ji wan re dibêjin. Mala Elî Mêrzo ne. Însanên pirr muherem in, pirr muedeb in. The Yazidi families among us, they call them the Eli family. They are the Eli Merzo family. Very respected people, very polite.
Û heta niha yek bi yekî re şer nekiriye. And until now, no one has fought with another.
Daxwa'y dewan, tê eydê me... daxwa'y de me, em deryên eydê wan dikin, daxwa'y de me tê eydê me dikin. Their invitations, come to our feast... our invitations, we attend their feast, our invitations come to our feast.
Û qe em naha hisin ew Êzdî ye û ev Misilman e, va tiştan tefrîqat nîhen ceme tûne. Bil'eks, bawer ke him biquymet in. And we never feel that he is Yazidi and this is Muslim, these discriminations definitely do not exist among us. On the contrary, believe me, they are valuable.
Me ne ne hindik in, tişkî jî xwe mehfeze dikin. We are not few, they also preserve themselves a bit.
Ee... yanî miletkî... ji min ê tişkî... ji Misilmana mutfetihtir in. Uh... meaning a people... to me a bit... they are more open- minded than Muslims.
'eqlê wan hînî ji Misilmana mutfetihtir e. Their minds are even more open than Muslims.
Niha ev gund, gelek... ew çend gundên derdora we jî çi bûn e? Ew gundên Ereb in, Kurd in? Now this village, many... what are those few villages around you? Are they Arab villages, Kurds?
Ew gundana, serahwel, di meseleya wan... Kanatî cema çêbû, û Qarsax... Those villages, first of all, regarding their issue... Kanati was built near us, and Qarsax...
Ew jî girêdayî we ne? Girêdayî gundê we ne yanî? Are they also connected to you? Connected to your village?
Girêdayî gundê me ne, bes bi çûtonî ava bûn... They are connected to our village, but how were they built...
Gî dibêjin, 'inno wella va axa, wan Ereb anîne viderê, tev xanî ji wan çêkir, yanî şûret didan dikirin. Bes bi xwe nowerkî bû. Everyone says, well this Agha, he brought Arabs here, built all houses for them, meaning they consulted. But it was a disaster.
Hatin gundê Îska, û 'it kevn û guncî şadin... me nehişt têkevin nav gund. Wekî malbata Malê El'emo. Me nehişt. They came to Iska village, and the old [residents] and happy villagers... we didn't let them enter the village. Like the El'emo family. We didn't let them.
Ê xwedî nîzamê Be's zor kir e. So the Ba'ath regime forced it.
Û neq neha nav gund, rabû kirina... kêlekê me, dorçarmê me. Kirina Kanatînkê û kirina Qarsê. And not inside the village, they stood up and did it... beside us, around us. They made Kanati and they made Qarse.
Tu wek zanî, celeme jî Ereban e, frêrê Ereban e... Ewa Erebana bi xwe na... yanî 'emrê va Ereba tu wari heqî ye... ee tu bêjî sed salî... As you know, Celeme is also Arabs, Frere is Arabs... These Arabs themselves not... meaning the age of these Arabs if you look at the truth... uh if you say a hundred years...
Ji 'emrê gundê me ne zêde ye. It is not more than the age of our village.
Ereb 'et rehal bûn. Arabs were nomads.
Û tu balê xwe didiyê Ereb, pîrê wan derê tûne ne. And if you look at the Arabs, their old ones are not there.
Gî va pîyîn me, ji Basûtê heta bi le xela ... tin bezîna avê. All these foothills of ours, from Basuta to the barren land... they only run after water.
Û pirraniya wan zêdehiş tê... bi isbat... birêkeyên Be's li vir hiştin. Yanî ne dilxweşî, birêkeyên Be's li vir hiştin. And the majority of them mostly... with proof... Ba'ath policies left them here. Meaning not willingly, Ba'ath policies left them here.
Da wî de sipasiya te dikim. I thank you for that.
Wellahî ez sipas dikim, û mişwaşbûnek mezin kir, gerakî em destpêkê bigota hurmet ji bo şehîdên me, ye paçê û ye pekkê. By God, I thank you, and it was a great honor, we should have said respect to our martyrs at the beginning, the martyrs of the rags and the martyrs of the PKK.
Û serkeftin ji bo Rojava û serkeftin ji bo Kurdistanê giştî. And victory for Rojava and victory for all of Kurdistan.
Gundê Îska girêdayî navçeya Şêrewa ye. 20 kîlometreyan li Başûrê Rojavayê bajarê Efrînê, û 10 kîlometreyan li Rojavayê bajarokê Basûtê dikeve. Iska village belongs to the Sherawa district. It is located 20 kilometers southwest of Afrin city, and 10 kilometers west of the town of Basuta.
Navê gund ji navê qîzekê hatiye. Ewa li cihekî dîrokî û kevnar ava bûye. The name of the village comes from the name of a girl. It was built on a historical and ancient site.
Malbatên gund ji dû malbatan pêk tên. Malbata Elo û Malbata Apê. The village families consist of two families. The Elo family and the Ape family.
Ew jî berî 200 salî li gund rûniştine. They also settled in the village 200 years ago.
Gundî behsa wê yekê dikin ku Malbata Apê yekem malbat di gund da nîştecî bûye. Villagers mention that the Ape family was the first family to settle in the village.
Gundê Îska li biniya Çiyayê Lêlûnê û li ber Deşta Cûmê dikeve. Iska village lies at the foot of Mount Lelun and facing the Jume Plain.
Ew gundê dawiyê ji gundên navçeya Şêrewa, ji aliyê Başûrê Rojava va. It is the last village of the Sherawa district villages, from the southwest side.
Gundê Îska ji herdu pêkhateyên Êzdî û Misilman pêk tê. Iska village consists of both Yazidi and Muslim components.
Û her du pêkhate di nava ahengiyek û têkiliyek baş da jiyan dikin. And both components live together in harmony and good relations.
Belê temaşevanên hêja... Na jî em li gundê Îska ne, em a dît dayikên me li vir karê xwe dikin, em a dît hinê destê xwe kirine. Yes dear viewers... Now we are in Iska village, we saw our mothers doing their work here, we saw they have hennaed their hands.
Em ê derbas bibin, em ê bibêjin alîkar bin, em ê bibêjin hewa we çawa ye. We will go in, we will say may god help you, we will ask how is your mood.
Belê temaşevanên hêja, piresî jî em a... karê kî ne zehmet e jî em a... ka em nîkê em ji dayîkê bipirsin. Yes dear viewers, asking is also... the work is not difficult either... let us ask the mother nearby.
Bes tiştê herî baş me dî ye... dayik hemî li hevdû civîne. But the best thing we saw... all the mothers are gathered together.
Ba birez min alîkar, ev tişkî pir baş e. Em a merov demê nahase. Dayê merheba ji te ra. May God help you, this is a very good thing. One does not feel the time. Hello to you mother.
Ehlen we sehlen. Welcome.
Destpêkê te nas bikin. First let's get to know you.
Ez Zekiya Mecîd ji gundê Îska. I am Zekiya Mejid from Iska village.
Ji destpêkê da ehlen we sehlen bi hatina we. Bernameya "Ax û Welat", ser sera û ser çava hatin. From the beginning, welcome to your arrival. The program "Land and Country", you are most welcome.
Û naka mûsîma me ye a hinara ye. And now it is our pomegranate season.
Hinar... emmal hinara biref dikin. Pomegranates... workers are picking the pomegranates.
Êd sax em dikin... felîna dişînin. The sound ones we put... in crates and send.
Û êd birîn jî em tînin... em dadweşînin, heval gî alîkariya me dikin. And the cut/damaged ones we bring... we beat them, friends all help us.
Be'dî em dadweşînin, em gil xesalê dixin, em disafînin... After we beat them, we put them in sacks, we filter them...
Fadîme Safî Zê, em qamê dinya êr em dikelînin. Fadime Safi Ze, we are boiling [pomegranates] on the fire today.
De ya emrê te hebe, tu hinekî ji xwe bibêje, tu ji kîjan malê yî? May you have a long life, tell us a bit about yourself, which family are you from?
Em, Ebû Omer. Us, Abu Omar.
Ebû Omer kî ye? Xwediyê malê ye? Who is Abu Omar? Is he the owner of the house?
Ebû Omer xwediyê malê ye. Abu Omar is the owner of the house.
Yê ne tu yî. Jiber vê te meroq kir, ez bawerim tu pê dihesî. Bavê kî ye? Bavê... So it's not you. Since you were concerned, I believe you sense it. Father of whom? Father of...
Serçavê min dayê. You are welcome, dear.
Ev cîranê we ne? Are these your neighbors?
Cîranê me ne, hevalê me ne û ji gundê me ne. They are our neighbors, our friends, and from our village.
Sal bi sal hûn wisa dikin? Yanî... Do you do this every year? I mean...
Giştik bav rindi bin, alîkar bin. May they all be good, may they be helpers.
Giştik bav rind bin, alîkar bin. May they all be good, may they be helpers.
Na wele, dema çêdikin... No, by God, when they are making it...
...bi dimisî? ...with molasses?
Belê, bi dimisî. Yes, with molasses.
Berhevkirina dimisê, kargî alîkariya hev dikin? Harvesting for molasses, do you help each other with the work?
Na, heybeta kêijana... hinar divê dimis. No, the prestige of which... pomegranates must become molasses.
Dimis? Çiçikê faqî? Molasses? Faqi's Breast [pomegranate variety]?
E faqî... E faqî û çiçikê... wîî Hecî... Eh Faqi... Faqi and the Breast... oh Haji...
Ew nîtê firotanê ne faqî? Isn't Faqi for selling?
Belê tê firotan. Bes em dixwazin em dimisê jî jê çêkin, îstîfadeya dimisê jî bibînin. Yes, it is sold. But we want to make molasses from it too, to see the benefit of the molasses as well.
Feydeya xwe ji yên hinarê pirtir e. Its benefit is greater than that of the pomegranates themselves.
Yanî min dixwest bibêjim dimis pir xweş e. I mean, I wanted to say molasses is very good.
Erê dimis rind e, erê. Yes, molasses is good, yes.
Hûn dimisê hinarê win dikin şîvê, xwarinê jî? Do you put pomegranate molasses in dinner, in food too?
Erê, dimisê hinarê em dikin şîvê, em dikin ser seletê... Yes, we put pomegranate molasses in dinner, we put it on salad...
...em dikin tehm... mhemera çêdikin... tehva dimisê îsotê em çêdikin... ...we add flavor... make muhammara... we make spicy molasses mix...
...ê wextê me dimis kirê, pir xweş dibe. Ser seletê xaseten hege dimis tê tunebe, qeçik naxwin. Pir jê hez dikin. ...and when we use molasses, it becomes very good. On salad especially, if there is no molasses in it, the kids won't eat. They love it very much.
Baş e. Îro me dît hûn mijûlî kar bûn. Karê we ne zehmet e? Good. Today we saw you were busy with work. Is your work not difficult?
We saet çendê destpêkiriye hatine? What time did you start and come here?
Wele vê sibehê saet heşt... saet şeşan... Well, this morning at eight... at six o'clock...
Heta niha? Until now?
Heta niha. Until now.
Xebata wê çawa ye di vî derî da? Yanî ji destpêkê heta niha? How is the work in this place? I mean from the start until now?
Dayê serêr... Hinki em dikelînin, hinki em çêdikin li derve. Mother, on the fire... Some we boil, some we make outside.
Kanî kîş mert destpêkê bêje? Which man should tell the beginning?
Yê destpêkê tînin... çidikin? Dema hinar ji nav erda tînin? Those you bring first... what do you do? When pomegranates are brought from the field?
Destpêkê îşta em dênin, emmala tînin, tînin... First, we put them down, workers bring them, bring them...
...em kom dikin, emmal ji nav erda derdixin, hên disefînin... ...we gather them, workers take them out of the field, they clean them...
...û yên divê dimis jî em tînin dikin dimis... ...and those needed for molasses, we bring and make into molasses...
...Me'lûl orê nerriyê yanê felih rina wafînê... bere gi xesar bi xesare... ...Ma'lul [variety/place?]... farmers... because it is all loss on loss...
...îşta, yanî gi ça nekin, nêyên çêkirin, em we dikin, û didinê... ...so, I mean if they don't do it, if not made, we do it like this, and give it...
Tiştê hûn pê dikutin? The thing you beat with?
Erê dar in, dar. Yes, sticks, sticks.
Dar in. Destpêkê hûn tînin hinarê tînin? They are sticks. First you bring the pomegranates?
Hm. Mm.
Hûn perçe dikin? You break them apart?
Erê. Yes.
Hûn tînin vir? Jê derdixin dênin? You bring them here? Take them out and put them?
Em perçe dikin, û em li hev dicivin, û em di... tînin pêşiyê xwe, îşta em dikutin. We break them apart, and we gather them together, and we... bring them in front of us, so we beat them.
Em yê xerab jê dikin, pak dikin, çêdikin, û em di'esirînin... We remove the bad ones, clean, fix, and we squeeze them...
...û em diftilin, didin ser êr, dikelînin. Em we dikin vê hinarê. ...and we return, put it on the fire, boil it. We do this to the pomegranate.
Bi vê rengî çêdikin? You make it this color?
Haa bi vê rengî. Yes, this color.
Dayê, heware we hene? Mother, do you have help?
Wele, îma hebûn siqayê... xezmeya xwe hilkir. wek din em... Well, we had... picked up our stuff... otherwise we...
Vê hinarê... yanî bûn çend sal û vir da derketine. This pomegranate... I mean it's been a few years since they came out [became popular/grown here].
Yanî ya em giş bûn, em qicik bûn... û da dê û bavkê me pale dikirin. I mean when we were all, we were small... and our parents were doing manual labor.
...û da nanî tenikî dikirin, û me şîv ber êr dikirin. ...and they made thin bread, and we made dinner on the fire.
...Ê dinê xweş bû, mahrab bû, me xoz derketin, me şîv ser dikirin. ...And the world was nice, ..., we went out, we made dinner on it.
Em keyîfîn... magar elhemdulila, em çi ro xelas bûn kar ebê hat. We are happy... but praise God, whatever day we finished work came.
Ê bû du sal, dîsa wele em... em nîn dikin... It's been two years, again well we... we do this...
Em dîsa şîva ser êgir dikin... û halê me eva... We again make dinner on the fire... and our situation is this...
Kê mrîk mrî, Xwedê nek em dengê orê hevdidin. Whoever died died, God forbid we shout at each other.
Yanî kêfa we li vir xweş e? I mean, are you happy here?
Kêfa me li vir xweş e, em li vê derê ne. We are happy here, we are at this place.
Em li nav vê çolê ne... em li nav vê 'efşê ne... We are in this wilderness... we are among these weeds...
...Mesela çi karî hebe yanî, em bi van jinka dikin, komî ne me gund heye... ...For example whatever work there is, we do with these women, we are a group, we have a village...
Îşek bû em xwarin derin lê rudinin. If there was work, we go eat and sit.
Dayê, hûn hemû ji gundekî ne? Hûn hemû ji vê gundî ne? Mother, are you all from one village? Are you all from this village?
Erê, ji Îska ne. Yes, from Iska.
Ji gundê Îska ne. From the village of Iska.
Erê, ji Îska me. Bûme heva jink ne ji Îska ye. Yes, from Iska. But this woman is not from Iska.
Gundî Telhemo... waye tew li vira mêr kiriye. The village of Talhamo... she got married here.
Bes wek din ez... ji Îska me, qîza Hembazikê me. But otherwise I... am from Iska, daughter of Hambazik.
Serçava. You are welcome.
Caa xweş, sax bî şa bî. Pleasant eyes, be healthy be happy.
Dayê, tu jî ji vê gundî yî? Mother, are you also from this village?
Ez... wele ez ji Efrînê me zimbûm. Dura çûm Heleb, bû çar sal bidayê ezme... I... well I was born in Afrin. Then went to Aleppo, it's been four years since...
...ez hatime vê derê heval. ...I came to this place, friend.
Tu bûka vî gundî yî? Are you a bride of this village?
Ez Xezewî me. I am from Ghazawiye.
Tu Xezewî yî? You are from Ghazawiye?

Te dîye seke, cirnik ser hene. You saw, look, there are basins on top of it.
Aa, ev wekî... Ah, this is like...
Va cirnika... These basins...
Ee niha, hinek wîn tên avê xwe ji vê kaniyê dibin? Uh now, do you come and take your water from this spring?
Em tê jê dibin, û em qîçkê xwe jî tînin ser. We take from it, and we bring our children to it as well.
Wekî îga... ta girtî, serê dêşe, em tînin eserekî jê radkin, tê didin. Like when... they have a fever, or a headache, we bring them, take a trace/relic from it, give it to them [wash/drink].
Û qenaet heye, pê çêdibe înşallah. And there is a belief, that they get healed by it, God willing.
Ê le baweriya we bi vê kaniyê heye? So you have faith in this spring?
Baweriya me heta noka bi vê kaniyê heye. Our faith in this spring exists until now.
Ne ev jî cirn ciyê... we dewarê xwe jî tînin? Are these basins a place... do you bring your livestock too?
Ama dewar tînin, em tije dikin, pê av didin. We bring livestock, we fill them [the basins], and water them with it.
Were, were, her wextekî... ne em tenê, milet pir tê bera. Come, come, anytime... not just us, many people come to it.
Belkî cîyê we jî pir baş e, dar li vir hene... Perhaps your location is also very good, there are trees here...
Dar heye, û sersî ye... û gund jî bi navê kaniyê me'rûf e, vê dibên Kaniya Kêndînkê. There are trees, and it's shady... and the village is famous by the name of the spring, they call this the Spring of Kêndînkê.
Kêndînkê? Kêndînkê?
Kêndînkê. Kêndînkê.
Eva tabî'î Îska ye. This belongs to Iska.
Ev mala jî tabî'î Îska ne. These houses also belong to Iska.
Tu çi dibêjî vê taxê? What do you call this neighborhood?
Kêndînkê. Vê dibên Kêndînkê. Kêndînkê. They call this Kêndînkê.
Heta xelkê gund jî bi vî navî tê naskirin? Even the village people are known by this name?
Ewa, bi vê kaniyê tê naskirin. Yanî va mentiqa giş, va hana, va erda, va deşta, hemû vê dibên Kêndînkê, giş bi navê vê kaniyê tê naskirin. Yes, known by this spring. Meaning this whole area, this here, this land, this plain, they call it all Kêndînkê, all known by the name of this spring.
Em tiştekî... bes tu çi dizanî li ser kaniyê? We something... but what do you know about the spring?
Wela apê delal, kanî wekî... ewa lêmegotî, wek ziareta ye. Wekî em zanin yanî, wekî me dî yanî... me zêde me wernagirtiye, wekî din tiştnî bizede bişun va em ser çêtr nizanin yanî. Baweriya me pê heye wa ziaret e, em wa dizanin. Well dear uncle, the spring is like... as was said, like a shrine. As we know, as we saw... we didn't receive much [information], other than that, extra things about it we don't know better. Our belief is that it is a shrine, that's what we know.
Dayê... Mother...
Ehlen we sehlan, ser çava. Welcome, upon my eyes.
Saxbî. Be healthy.
Dibêjin ev der ziaret e yanî? They say this place is a shrine?
Wela bavkalê me, pîrkê me digot vir ziaret e. Well our grandfathers, our grandmothers used to say this is a shrine.
Ê çi dîrok heye, yanî wek ziaret tîbîn, dibêjin yanî... So what history is there, meaning observed as a shrine, they say...
Ziaret tişta têne ber, ana em rojê înê têne dorê... Shrine, things come before it, now we come around on Fridays...
Gelekî pir aniha ziyaretek, dibêjin tirbe gerek hebe, goristan gor hebe. Dibên li vir tu gor hene, tirbe li vir hene? Usually a shrine, they say a tomb must be there, a cemetery, a grave. They say are there any graves here, are there tombs here?
Hene, degî hinda bûn e. Ji pêncî salî da ez zanim yanî, evana gi erdê me bûn... e... kes tînebû wa dera. Paşê evna çêbûn. Berê bavkê min, eva milkê xwa bû, de hişta em qiçik li ser vir mezin bûn. Ez zanim ziaret e. Xelk tê ber, axê lingê xwa dida, ser çavê xwa dişû, ferûjek xwa şerjêdikir... Yanî em tim tên, heta noka em tên. There are, marks have disappeared. Since fifty years I know, these were all our lands... eh... no one was in that place. Later these were built. Before my father, this was his property, back when we were small we grew up here. I know it is a shrine. People come to it, put soil on their legs, wash their face, slaughter a rooster... Meaning we always come, until now we come.
Kîjan roj hûn tên? Which day do you come?
Rojê çarşemê em tên, înê em tên, yanî em tên e ber. Wednesday we come, Friday we come, meaning we come to it.
Wekî miletê me, hin misilman in, hin êzdî ne. Hin çarşemê tên, hin înê tên. Like our people, some are Muslim, some Yazidi. Some come Wednesday, some come Friday.
Em înê tên. We come Friday.
Ê varê înê şem'a vêdixin, çarşemê jî hinek tên yanî... em gi... On Friday eve they light candles, on Wednesday some come too... we all...
Rêşbûn e yanî? Mûmê vêdixin? Blackened [from soot]? They light candles?
Hawa cî jî gîs bûye... zeytê dikinê û meherema dikinê vêdixin. Û dîn lê girêdidin. Limê xwa dikin, û di'ê xwa dikin, singa dikutin manê qiçkê xwa nabin der, yanî wa dikin der. Like that the place is all sooty... they put oil and put rags and light them. And tie rags on it. They do their prayers, make their supplications, beat their chests, meaning they don't take their small children out, that's what they do out there.
Yanî kesî dît yanî, kes nexweş bibe hatibe vir? Has anyone seen, if someone sick came here?
Wela tê dibin. Well, they are brought.
Wek tu, te caran dîtiye kes nexweş bî, zarokê te... Like you, have you ever seen someone sick, your children...
Yanî ê merinê me hinek dawet xwa yanî xwar bûn der, li ber vê ziaretê berx şerjê kirin çêbûn. Yanî pirr ek çêbûn e li vê derê. Meaning our people [relatives], some of their weddings were... down there, in front of this shrine they slaughtered a lamb and got better. Meaning many got better at this place.
Te dît yanî? You saw it?
E. Yes.
Wekî yanî, ko ti karî binav bikî? Like, can you name [an instance]?
E... yek ji qîzek ji van a Erebê kelêk me... wargî bû, hat berx şerjêkir çêbû. Uh... one girl from those Arabs next to us... was possessed/sick, came and slaughtered a lamb and got better.
Çêbû? Got better?
E. Yes.
Yek jî wela hîn têda nexweşî bû? Jêra mir rehmetî bû? Paşo qiçik bû der bû? Nizani îdare kiro?... And one was still sick in it? Did he die, God have mercy? Later was small and outside? Didn't know how to manage?...
Nexweş bû têda, ew. He was sick in it, that one.
Tu jî bixêr hatî. Merheba. You are also welcome. Hello.

Pakrewanek bi navê Cîwan Efrîn ji gund heye, û dibistanek gund pê hatiye binavkirin. Komîna gund jî bi navê Şehîd Şêx Adî ye, hatiye binavkirin. There is a martyr named Jiwan Afrin from the village, and a village school has been named after him. The village commune is also named Martyr Sheikh Adi.
Mihemed Elî Kûrê wek dengbêjekî gelerî dihat naskirin. Û wî gelek kelepor û diwarê pêşxistina hunera dengbêjiyê de li herêmê daye. Mihemed Ali Kure was known as a folk dengbej [bard]. And he gave much heritage and in the field of developing the art of dengbej in the region.
Ew di sala 2012an da çû ser dilovaniya xwa. Şêx Ebdal wek oldarê ola Îslamî bi nav û deng bû, û gelek kar di vî warî de kiriye. Hêjayî birxistineye ku xizmiyên gund li gundê Kelemê, Basûtê, Xezawiyê û Fêrêriyê jî hene. He passed away to God's mercy in the year 2012. Sheikh Abdal was famous as a religious man of the Islamic faith, and did much work in this field. It is worth mentioning that relatives of the village exist in the village of Keleme, Basuta, Ghazawiye, and Fereriye as well.

Before this two years [ago] they came to him, friends came. He said well don't record a song for us, he couldn't. Then I made him sit, put him on the chair, meaning he spoke with words. He couldn't sing with song.
Apê hêja, di malbata we da kes dengbêj hebû yanî? Bavê te dengbêj bû? Kî va dengbêj bû ji kê fêr bû? Dear uncle, in your family was there anyone a dengbej? Was your father a dengbej? Who was this dengbej, from whom did he learn?
Dêka min rehmetî digo xalekî me dengbêj hebû. My late mother used to say we had an uncle [maternal] who was a dengbej.

Yanî ji wî elimî yanî? Ji wî fêr bû? Meaning he learned from him? Learned from him?
Na. No.
Wekî din ji rehet e, wextê din jî rehet e, bûç berî da alimya kelama. Yanî tim dixwest bistirê. He is comfortable otherwise, the other time is also comfortable, but he gave himself to the world of songs. Meaning he always wanted to sing.
Kêfa xwe bike. To enjoy himself.
Wi rehmetî tim dixwest kêfa xwe bike? Did the late one always want to enjoy himself?
Ewa. Yes.
Ma lo we jî gelek xweş e, te dît no em hatine li ber kaniyê ne? Your house is also very nice, you see we have come next to the spring?
Dibêjin serê kaniyê, vêre na, vêre dibêjin xanî wi ye. They call it the spring head, right here, they say this is his house.
Ev jî mala wi ye, li ber kaniyê ye. Ê heqê xwe şe kêfê hez dikir, strana hez dikir yan na? This is his house too, by the spring. So he had the right, did he love enjoyment, did he love songs or not?
Kêfê hez dikir, ji mîvana hez dikir, ji giya hez dikir. He loved enjoyment, he loved guests, he loved it all.
Ê neha piranîya stranê wî çi digot? Kîjan strana digot yanê? So now, what did the majority of his songs say? Which songs did he sing?
Weleh eger çi telebe ba, distira. Beza bu, kelamê giran digotin. Beza bu, ê sivik digotin. Beza dawata da. By God, whatever was requested, he sang. Sometimes, he sang heavy songs. Sometimes, he sang light ones. Sometimes in weddings.
Bes wi rehmetî şerîta xwe ne dida kesî, digot bila navê min zêde... aw na re. Lê wekî din, eger distira welehî giya dibilî. But the late one wouldn't give his tapes to anyone, he said so my name wouldn't get too... you know. But otherwise, if he sang, by God, everyone would rejoice.
Ê çima yanî? Ne dixwest navê wî belav be yanê? Why though? Did he not want his name to spread?
Yanî na, na dixwest zêde yanî belav be. Meaning no, he didn't want it to spread too much.
Wekî din wî û 'Eltico noka şerîtek heye, bi ewa ra dibilin e hevdû, teherkî ma. Eger wî distira, 'Eltico dikinî safî. Otherwise, he and 'Eltico have a tape now, they are playing with each other, sort of. If he sang, 'Eltico would just laugh pure.
Ez bawer dikim stranê şabî heb ra gotine? I believe they sang folk songs together?
Erê. Stranê şabî. Erê we bu. Yes. Folk songs. Yes, it was like that.
Erê. Yes.
Meselen Ebdê Milhim digot, Usivê Şer digot, Xezala Mendê digot. Evna gîş jî yanî kelamên kevin, qedîm in. For example, he sang 'Ebdê Milhim', he sang 'Usivê Şer', he sang 'Xezala Mendê'. All of these are old songs, ancient.
Erê ev çîrokên kurda. Yes, these are Kurdish stories.
Erê, belê, rast e. Yes, indeed, that is true.
Dayê zarokê we jî kes stran dibêje? Ji bavê xwe fêr bûne? Mother, do any of your children sing? Did they learn from their father?
Weleh Necîb wek bavê xwe ye, hew xelî. By God, Necîb is like his father, exactly him.
Ne l’mal e neha? Is he not home now?
Elî tembûrê lê dixe. Kurê mezin Elî. Hin tembûrê û kelama wek bavê xwe, hew zane. Bes ne l'mal in. Elî plays the tanbur. The eldest son Elî. Some tanbur and songs like his father, only he knows. But they aren't home.
Ê Xelîl jî strana dibêje? Does Xelîl also sing?
Xelîl dîsa ew jî yanî xwe xelas dike. Xelîl also, meaning, he gets by.
Keçik jî elimîne ji bavê xwe? Did the girls also learn from their father?
Weleh keçik zane, yek zane tişkeş tê da, bes feyde nake. Dibê ez nika mera nakim te der na. By God, the girl knows, one knows a bit in it, but it's no use. She says 'I won't dare now, no way'.
Çima yanî? Why though?
E dibê were, ema her tiştekî bibê, dibê ez nikanim. She says come, but whatever happens, she says I can't.
Ê ew, dayê, ew demê diçû stran digotin, demê ew di dengbêjîyê de... We demê da dengbêj kî dihat mala we? Kî dihat cem we, dengbêjê hevalê wî? And that, mother, that time when he went to sing, when he was in the bard tradition... In those times, which bards came to your house? Who came to you, his bard friends?
Weleh kes... eger te re bibêm belkî tu bawer nekê. Sê sed û şêst gund, çiqas hevalê xwe hene gî dihatin cem. By God, no one... if I tell you, maybe you won't believe. Three hundred and sixty villages, however many friends he had, they all came to him.
Tu behsa milet dikî? Yanî mîvanê we dihatin? You are talking about the people? Meaning your guests came?
Pir bûn. Yanî îna ke daxê, gilê vê ra, de hema kena, baz didanê, di sekinîn. There were many. Meaning, those who came down from the mountain, with words, they would just laugh, run to it, and stay.
Ê na kî dengbêj, hevalê wî kî bûn? Dengbêj kî dihatin cem? No, which bards, who were his friends? Which bards came to him?
Yanî 'Eltico dihat, Cemîl Horo dihat, Ednan Dilbrîn... yek car... yanî ne pir, bes 'Eltico tim dihat. Xelîl Îbrahîm. Ew jî yek car dihat. Meaning 'Eltico came, Cemîl Horo came, Ednan Dilbrîn... once... meaning not much, but 'Eltico always came. Xelîl Îbrahîm. He also came once.
Omerê Cemlo dihat. Omerê Cemlo came.
Omerê Cemlo dihat. Yanî pir dihatin. Eger te ra bibêm çi... Omerê Cemlo came. Meaning many came. If I tell you what...
Ka em ji wê pirs bikin. Dayê, dema li mal rûdinişt, piranî kîjan strana digot? Let's ask her. Mother, when he sat at home, which songs did he mostly sing?
Weleh kelamê xwe gî, ji tû re rastî bim... yanî gî, kevin bûn, tû re rastî bim... By God, all his songs, to be honest with you... meaning all, they were old, to be honest with you...
Eyşê digot, Delal digot... Misbîh Şer... He sang 'Eyşê', he sang 'Delal'... 'Misbîh Şer'...
Ji kelamê jî hez dikir û... dixwast yanî cimatê da hewa kîbar deng ke û bistirê. He loved songs too and... he wanted to make a noble sound in the gathering and sing.
Ê na stranê dengbêjî, kelamê dengbêjî gîştî digot? So, no, bard songs, did he sing all bard songs?
Gî digot. He sang them all.
Hesen çi dike waye? Hesen jî pir xweş e dengê xwe. What is Hesen doing there? Hesen also has a very nice voice.
Hesen pir ji Ebo Elî hez dike. Loma waka teva digere. Hesen loves Ebo Elî very much. That's why he walks around like that.
Ê ew jî zarokê te ye? Is he also your child?
Na weleh, ew cîranê me ye. No by God, he is our neighbor.
Cîran e? Neighbor?
Malo we ava be. Saeta we xweş. May your house be prosperous. Health to you.
Ya l'ew silamet. Safety to that.
