Emê destpêkê ji cem te destpêbikin. We will start with you first.
Erê welle. Yes, by God.
Niha em ji gund derketin. Geliyek li vir heye, ev li vir hemû zinar ne. Now we came out of the village. There is a valley here, all these here are rocks.
Ka em bêjin ev der çi? Let's say, what is this place?
E va, vêra dibên Xişê. This here, they call this Xişê.
Rişber e, Gucur beg. It is Rişber, Gucur beg (place name/owner).
Ji cîşûn da Ermenî hecirîn. From the displacement (events of 1915), Armenians were displaced.
Ermenî hatin vê derê. Armenians came to this place.
Vê çaxê çi gerek e... das, tevr, bêr, gerek ne. At that time whatever was needed... sickle, pickaxe, shovel, were needed.
Û merivê we Ermeniyan jî zanîn we tişta çêkin. And those Armenian people knew how to make those things.
Hatin vê derê, vê derê girtin, û ji we tiştî şuxilîn. They came here, occupied this place, and worked on those things.
Bi çi navî dihate naskirin? By what name was it known?
Dibêjin Xerabe Temirciya. They call it Blacksmiths' Ruins.
Xerabe. Ruins.
Be'dî 10 salan, 15 salan, li vê derê we kar kirin, û lêxistin çûn... After 10 years, 15 years, they worked here, then packed up and left...
...yekî xal... Sarnicê werê bî vê derê... û xelî bûn û derketin çûn, em nizanin. ...an uncle... fell into the Cistern here... and it became empty and they left, we don't know.
Mamoste, spas ji bo te, destê te sax bin. Teacher, thank you, bless your hands.
Apê Ehmed, niha ew li vir, yanî xirabe nemaye, yanî giştî zinar ne, kevir ne li vir. Uncle Ahmed, now here, I mean the ruin doesn't remain, I mean it's all rocks, stones here.
Xerabe li vê derê tê bîra min, emrê min şêst û şeş sal in, tê bîra min, bedena me bilind bû. The ruin here I remember, I am 66 years old, I remember, our walls were high.
Em şev... carna em dihatin vê derê berpez. At night... sometimes we came here with sheep.
Em şev hebûn, me deh het mandin. We were there at night, we stayed with ten head (of sheep).
Û kevir jî têda pir bûn, xelkê dibir kevirê tûj bibe, şuxil bi kar tîna, birin xwarê. And there were many stones inside, people took them to sharpen stones (or cut stones), used them for work, took them down.
Û xerabe noka tine, xerabe maye. And the ruin is gone now, (only) the ruin remains.
Çend ode bûn? How many rooms were there?
Ode? Gu wekî deh ode hebûn. Rooms? Like ten rooms there were.
Ewa teqrîben dehe ode hebûn. There were approximately ten rooms.
Û ciyê wan kar dikir... ciyê hesinkariyê? And the place they worked... place of ironwork?
Di vir da dikirin. They did it in here.
Malê wan jî li vir bûn, hemû tiştê wan, heywanê wan, hemû tiştê wan. Their houses were here too, all their things, their animals, all their things.
Hesinkar dikirin. They did ironwork.
Tê bîra te? Do you remember?
Na nayê bîra min. No I don't remember.
Ji mêj da ye. Bav û kalê me digotin Ermenî ji Tirkiyê hatin, Tirkiyê lêxistin, hecirîn hatin ketin vê derê. It's from long ago. Our fathers and grandfathers said Armenians came from Turkey, Turkey struck them, they were displaced and came to this place.
Hatin li gund hewîn, li vê derê hewîn. They came and sheltered in the village, sheltered here.
Û eleqet mabeyna wan û gund va pir rind bûn. And relations between them and the village were very good.
Û li vê derê hesinkariya xwe kirin. And they did their ironwork here.
Çend salan li vir man? How many years did they stay here?
Teqrîben deh-panzdeh salan li vê derê man. Approximately 10-15 years they stayed here.
Pir neman? They didn't stay long?
Na pir neman. Wextê lawê kî çû Sarnicê werbî, lawê kî çû Sarnicê werbî, û xeniqî... No they didn't stay long. When someone's son fell into the cistern... and drowned...
...û girî û çûn, ji vê derê hiştin û çûn. ...and they cried/grieved and left, abandoned this place and left.
Yên hatin li vê derê çekirin sebeb ew bû. The reason those who came built here was that.
Sebebê xwe, berê... amûr tune bûn. Hesin kî dikirin, êr dikirin, hedadî kî dikirin. The reason, before... there were no tools. Who did ironwork, who made plows, who did blacksmithing.
Ji bo gundiyan gerek bûn. Hesinê xwe germ bikin û çêkin. It was necessary for the villagers. To heat their iron and make it.
Yanî neha kîjan salê ew hatine û çûne, agahiyek wisa ser wan heye? So now what year they came and went, is there such information about them?
Wele em nizanin, bes li vê derê... eleqet mabeyna wan û gund pir rind bûn. Well we don't know, but here... relations between them and the village were very good.
Li vê derê jinek dan yekî gundî me. Here they gave a woman (in marriage) to one of our villagers.
Navê wî jî Sultan bû. His name was Sultan.
Xweşî ne? Are they in-laws/happy?
Te xweş bî, ew rehmetî bûye. May you be well, she has passed away.
Keçkê xwe hene. Keçkê xwe jî, dilê xwe hebûn, har dan ber hev. Bes keçkê, keçkê hene. She has daughters. Her daughters too, had hearts/lovers, married. But daughters, there are daughters.
Ê birî jî navê wî, Mûsa 'Eskî tê. And her brother's name was Musa Aski.
Te car dît, yan tu ne gihîştî? Did you ever see him, or did you not reach (that time)?
Na, ez ne gihîştimê. Te digot çûn û serab da çûn. No, I didn't reach him. You said they went and disappeared into the mirage.
Çûn Helebê? Went to Aleppo?
Çûn Helebê, paş hinek çûn Efrînê, mihempa belavbûn, kuderê çûn kes nizane. Went to Aleppo, then some went to Afrin, scattered together, where they went no one knows.
Di wê demê de, gelek miletê Ermenî berê xwe dan Rojavayê Kurdistanê, hinek hatin Efrînê, hinek çûn Kobanê, hinek çûn Cizîrê. At that time, many Armenian people turned towards Rojava Kurdistan, some came to Afrin, some went to Kobani, some went to Jazira.
Lê li nav Efrînê jî, hîne malbat hene? But inside Afrin too, are there still families?
Heta neha li malbatek li gundê Hec Xelîl heye. Even now there is a family in the village of Hec Xelîl.
Ew jî heta neha li wir in. They are still there even now.
Û gelek din hebûn, piraniya çûn Helebê yanî. And there were many others, the majority went to Aleppo.
Ti tiştê din, bîranînên wan li vir hene? Anything else, are there memories of them here?
Ti tişt nîne. Bes dema dewleta Tirk hatin... There is nothing. Only when the Turkish state came...
...em revîn hatin... û li vê derê em bûn... ...we fled and came... and we were here...
...em li şikeftê bûn. Û heta berî wê hinek li Efrînê jî hebûn. ...we were in the cave. And until before that there were some in Afrin too.
Yek hebû navê wî Ogop (Agop) bû, cawçî bû. There was one, his name was Agop, he was a clothier.
Berekbangî bû. He was famous.
Ew jî hedad lixwe dikir. He also did blacksmithing.
Xwarê xwe ew bî. That was his livelihood.
Dav naskir? Did you recognize the trap/place?
Mewlê... em biçin cem avê da. Tê wir cem avê da. Master... let's go to the water. Come there to the water.
Mamoste, navê vê gelî çi bû? Teacher, what was the name of this valley?
Vêra dibên Geliye Rşiyê. They call this Rşiyê Valley.
Navê çend gelî li cem gund hene? Names of how many valleys are near the village?
Awa Geliye Rşiyê heye, yek jî daran heye, vêra dibên Geliye Hûpa. There is Rşiyê Valley, one also with trees, they call Hûpa Valley.
Navê wê ye. That is its name.
Ew ciyê zêtûna? That olive place?
Cem zêtûna, diçe Geliye Dora, dere. Near olives, goes to Dora Valley, there.
Naha ev geliyo ji ku tê, kuderê diçe? Now this valley, where does it come from, where does it go?
Ev geliyo ji jor da tê, heta bin gundê Xelîl. This valley comes from up, until below Khalil village.
Paşî diçe devera 'Memela. Then goes to the area of 'Memela.
Ev yê din jî, Geliye Hûpa jî, dighêje Kutix û binê 'Emera. This other one too, Hûpa Valley, reaches Kutix and below 'Emera.
Yanî gelî li vir digihên hev? So the valleys meet here?
Gelî li vê derê, li banî, li pirê, digihên hev, dibin yek. Valleys here, at the top, at the bridge, meet each other, become one.
Tê bîra ma, gelo dihatin, ev geliyana tije dibûn? Do you remember, did they come, did these valleys get full?
Miş dihatin. Tije tî metî nedihîştin. They came full. Full... didn't leave anything.
Roj, bi gundê Xuda, bi ne'ma Xwedê dihatin. Sun, with God's village, with God's grace they came.
Silim pêda dihatin, zêtûn dihatin, kevir û kuçik pêda dihat. Floods came through it, olives came, stones and rocks came through it.
Li vê derê dibûn yek. Here they became one.
Yê din jî heta dighêje Kitix. Until...?
Yê din jî heta dighêje Kitix. The other one also until it reaches Kitix.
Yanî berê bi çend salan av dihat? So how many years ago did water come?
Wele tê bîra min berî vê bi sî û pênc sala gelî dihat. Well I remember 35 years ago the valley (flood) came.
Berî vê bi çend salan dîsa hat? How many years ago before this did it come again?
Baran çawa tê? Kêkî tê... Baran çawa tê qesta dike gelî tê. How does rain come? Sometimes it comes... As rain comes, it intends and the valley comes.
Baran wele dused mîlî tê, gelî nayê. Sêsed mîlî tê, gelî nayê. Rain comes 200 mil, valley doesn't come. 300 mil comes, valley doesn't come.
Heke çar-pênc mîlî ser hev da were, gelî tê. If 4-5 mil (referring to heavy amount) comes on top of each other, valley comes.
Em galegal dikin wextê baranê... We chat during the rain...
Ev geliyê cîkê kêm tê, geliyê din zêde tê... This valley flows a little, the other valley flows a lot...
Arê welle. Yes, by God.
Berf pir lê dikir. Berf. It used to snow a lot. Snow.
Çil berfa. Tê bîra te dema wê berfê? The forty snows. Do you remember the time of that snow?

Go xaniyê xwniya me... me hefkê rêş kir? Like our house... we cleared the shovelfuls?
Go em serra dorgê diçûn hewşê. We used to walk over it to get to the yard.

Û hemû derî da ser digirtin. Du zalan... And all the doors were blocked. Two years...

Em dika dinê çiye, bi du metro kûr e. We look at what it is, it is two meters deep.
Go xuş xuş xuş... bînî... wane we hesê bê... hesê avê dihat me. It went whoosh whoosh whoosh... underneath... like the sound of wind... the sound of water came to us.

Ez 35 im. I am 35.
35, xwedê emrê te xwes ke. 35, may God give you a good life.
No 35 sal in tu nabînî. Tu çi nexweşî bi te re çêbûye? So you haven't seen for 35 years. What illness happened to you?
Welle ez çûçik bûm, umrê min sê-çar salî teqrîben... Well I was small, my age was three or four years approximately...
Wekî sorikê, wekî nexweşîk waha hat... Like measles, like a sickness came like that...
...û waha bû, mirûçê bû... û berê jî doxtor derman tunebûn û mualece derman tunebû... ...and it was like that, it passed... and back then there were no doctors or medicine, and no treatment or medicine...
...û hano mirûçê bû. ...and so it passed.
No di gund da bahsa te kirin, te gotin tu gelek kar dikî. So in the village they talked about you, they said you do a lot of work.
Temam. Correct.
Rast e? Defter dest xwe kirî. Tu di nava berê de digerî. Is it true? You have the notebook in hand. You walk among the people.
Tu wek din çi karî dikî? What other work do you do?
Ez wehda, cixara difroşim. I sell units [phone credit], cigarettes.

En deftera xwe dest xwe bike. No tu ku da diçûyî? Take your notebook in hand. So where were you going?
Heke hûn vî derî qate' li vir hene. Like here, there are cutters [poles/fuses] here.
Qate'? Cutter?
Ê, Ampera. Ê em biçin... Yes, Amperes. Let's go...
Tu zanî qate' li ku ye? Do you know where the cutter is?
Ez zanim. I know.
Ka ku der e? Where is it?
Ha va ye, vî derî ye. Here it is, right here.
Ka ku der e? Where is it?

Ez zanim. I know.
Erê lê noka ka, çavê te nabînin? Yes, but look now, your eyes don't see?
Hase na... ema hase min rê heye... zêde wa qelbî... wa qelbî ne û der e. Sense no... but I have a sense of the way... more like my heart... it's my heart and surroundings.
Îş ne... hevalê Şeref... îş ne bi çavê maran e. Îş mêjî ye maran e. Work is not... friend Sharaf [Reporter]... work is not with man's eyes. Work is with man's brain.
Mêjî maran bi şixulê... rê maran... dibîne. Man's brain sees the work... man's way.
No, elhemdu lîlah, ji xwedê re, mêjiyê min... ez dibêjim çavên min li pêşiya min in. So, praise God, to God, my brain... I say my eyes are in front of me.

Li gund tu giştî digerî? You walk the whole village?
Giştîkî... û ne bes gundê tenê. Ne gundê me tenê. All of it... and not just the village alone. Not our village alone.
Ser dare... derim Heleb, Efrîn, Şamê, Der'a... On the road... I go to Aleppo, Afrin, Damascus, Daraa...
No, birakî min li Der'a bû. Teqrîben heft salan leşker bû. Kesî nediçûya ba wî. Ez çûm. No, my brother was in Daraa. He was a soldier for about seven years. No one would go to him. I went.

Gundê me zivistan e, sîh kîlometreyî li başûrê gund dikeve. Our village is wintry, located thirty kilometers to the south of the [main] village.
Jî neh gundên derdora xwe avatir e. It is more developed than the nine villages surrounding it.
Kesê bi navê Hemdiko ev gund ava kiriye. A person named Hemdiko built this village.
Necîb Mihemed Hebeş tembûrvanekî hêja ye. Najib Mohammed Habesh is a worthy tambur player.

Belê, îro jî em li gundê Kurkan e. Yes, today we are in the village of Kurkan.
Di vê gundê de jî, grubeke şano heye. In this village, there is a theater group.
Em ê bi hevra vê grubê nas bikin, em ê fikra vê grubê nas bikin. We will get to know this group together, we will understand the idea behind this group.
Şanoya wan li ser çine. Ka em nas bikin. What their theater is about. Let us get to know them.
Merheba ciwana. Hello young lady.
Ehlen we sehlen. Welcome.
Sax be. Em destpêkê te nas bikin? Bless you. May we introduce you first?
Ez bi xwe Mamosta Ferîde me. Mamosteya wane ya zimanê kurdî me. I am Teacher Feride. I am their Kurdish language teacher.
Ser çava min. You are most welcome.
Mamosta, no grûbeke we heye? Grûbeke şano heye? Teacher, so you have a group? Is there a theater group?
Yanî we kengî dest bi karê xwe yê şano kir? Meaning, when did you start your theater work?
Me sala borî, dema şagirt hatin dibistanê. Last year, when the students came to school.
Me dest bi karê şano kir. We started the theater work.
Yanî pir grûb me çêkirin. Şano... yanî yekemîn şano di navçeya Mabata... Meaning, we formed many groups. Theater... meaning the first theater in the Mabata district...
...bi serket. ...was successful.
Û şano jî, yanî li ser perwerde, li ser giringiya perwerde. And the play is about education, about the importance of education.
Însanê perwerde bibe, insanê zana, xwe perwerde bike. A person who gets educated, a wise person, educates themselves.
Mirov insanê ne perwerde be, çi ye. [Versus] a person who is uneducated, what they are.
Me li ser vê xwestinê çêkir, giringiya perwerdê. We created it based on this desire, the importance of education.
Yanî di her gundekî de şano tê de çêbû? Meaning, was theater created in every village?
Na her gundekî şano çênebûye. No, theater hasn't been created in every village.
Mimkûn e çar pênc gund çêbin, lê yekemîn şano a me bi serket. It's possible four or five villages have it, but our theater was the first to succeed.
Di navçeya Mabata de. In the Mabata district.
Hûn derbiderên Efrînê jî bûn? Lê, a ma, bes li navçeyê da... Were you also displaced from Afrin? But, just in the district...
Em derbiderên Efrînê bûn, Şêrawa bi serketin. We were displaced from Afrin, from Sherawa we succeeded [arrived].
Em hatin vê derê, em yekemîn Şêrawa bûn. We came here, we were the first from Sherawa.
Navê grûba we çiye? Yan navekî lêkiriye? What is the name of your group? Or have you given it a name?
Grûba Xandekaran. The Students Group.
Temam. Ka nah çend kes in? Okay. How many people are there now?

Heft kes in? Seven people?
Erê birêz in. Yes, dear sir.
E ka temam, kerem kin, ka em bibînin çawa ye şanoya we. Okay then, please proceed, let's see how your play is.
Vana hesê! Vana hesê! Way serê min! It hurts! It hurts! Oh my head!
Vana hesê! It hurts!
La te dîsa orqeya xwe xwarî? Man, did you eat your prescription paper again?
La te çi ji min dixwaze la? Man, what do you want from me, man?
La te dîsa orqeya xwe xwarî? Orqeya vana xwar, vana xwar, te pê bimire! Man, did you eat your paper again? You ate the paper for the pain, ate the pain, you'll die from it!
La te çi ji min dixwaze, biçe ji mala xwe lo! Man, what do you want from me, go to your home!
Ez dermanê nojdarim, heta te nekim meriv... I am the doctor's medicine, until I make you a human...
Biçe ji mala xwe yalo! Go to your home, hey man!
Of, of... ew dermanê min li ku da... Oof, oof... where did I put that medicine...
Ji vê derê narin heta te nekim meriv. They aren't leaving here until I make you a human.
Çûbû, noka ne li mal e, min avêt kûsê zibil. It was gone, now it's not at home, I threw it in the trash can.
Sûs didim, na orqeya vedixwim û ne avê vedixwim. I promise, no I won't drink the paper and I won't drink the water.
Merheba dayê. Hello mother.
Kanî Ogir? Welcome.
Kanî Ogir? Where is Ogir?
Ogir ne li mal e, ma tu nizanî Ogir çi li serê wî hatiye? Ogir isn't home, don't you know what happened to Ogir?
Ma ne em ê biçin perwerdê? Aren't we going to education?
Ez zanim hûn ê bibin şê... I know you will become... [interrupted/mumbled]
Na, ma ne ji bo pêşbixwe zana bibe. No, isn't it to develop oneself and become wise.
Ba perwerde, bêyî îstîma tu kêrî tiştekî nayê, bidin mîna cîranê me herin. The wind of education, without hearing [learning] you are useless, let us be like our neighbors and go.
Lê a niha em jî wek hevalê te gav bavêjin. But now, let us take a step like your friend.
Ger a niha em welatê xwe neparêzin, ma kî were me biparêze? If we don't protect our country now, who will come to protect us?
Em wekî jinên Şengalê, werin firotan! Let us, like the women of Sinjar, be sold!
Ecêb dayîkan çûbî, çûnebî, hela çi tişt e lo? Strange, the mothers had gone, or hadn't gone, what is this thing?
Kes li te dipirse, napirse. Merheba Ogir. Does anyone ask about you, or not? Hello Ogir.
Ehlen. Tu çûye? Welcome. Did you go?
Ere hatim, dilê te bi te re be Ogir. Yes I came, may your heart be with you Ogir.
Ana perwerde bî, me çûn perwerde, perwerde tiştekî pir xweş bû. I was at education, we went to education, education was a very good thing.
Bes te şêyê me bir, bes mêjiyê me tine bû. But you took our [minds], we just had no brains.
Te wargehê vê dînîtiyê ne, çû te şite hebi, mêjiyê te tine bî. You are in the camp of this madness, gone, you had something, you had no brains.
Ana çûm perwerdê, me dîroka xwe nas kir, me zimanê xwe nas kir. I went to education, I learned my history, I learned my language.
Me çanda xwe nas kir, me tiştekî pir nas kir. I learned my culture, I learned many things.
Dînê me hebû, eqilî vî tiştin tarî xelk û alem dibêjin aqilê te çû navra. We had our religion/faith, the mind is dark on these things, people and the world say your mind is lost.
Ana temarê berra bû, dibêje an perwerde. The vein has opened now, it says either education.
An perwerde, an perwerde, an perwerde! Either education, or education, or education!
Bijî berxwedana Efrînê! Long live the resistance of Afrin!
Belê temaşevanên hêja, îro jî me bi hev re gundê Kurkê jêr nas kir. Yes dear viewers, today together we got to know the village of Lower Kurkan.
Li vir jî em digihîjin dawiya bernameya xwe. Here we reach the end of our program.
Em ê bivînin bernameya me bi dilê we bû. We hope that our program was to your liking.
Em ê xatira xwe ji hemûyan bixwazin. We will say goodbye to everyone.

Agîdê me rakin. Wake up our brave ones.
Here lawên te ref bi ref qir lê. Go, your sons are [standing] row by row.
Li ser çiyayên bilind fêrîn. They learned upon the high mountains.
Bûka şaho welatê xwe, ez nadim bi dinyayê tevdî. The bride of Shaho, my country, I won't trade it for the whole world.
Welatê min tu canê min, bi şev û roj te bîra min dayî. My country, you are my soul, night and day you are in my memory.
Welatê min pir şêrîn e, bi rez û mêrg û kaniyan î. My country is very sweet, with orchards and meadows and springs.
Dilê min dostiya te da, rakin hîva pilingê şêran. My heart is in your friendship, raise the moon of the tigers of lions.
Li medînerin em revîne, li cem wan têbê emrê wîn e. Look at us, we are fugitives, in their presence comes the order.
Mala felekê nekave, kanî hew bû, kanî Efrîn e. May the house of fate crumble, where is it gone, where is Afrin.
Mala zalimê nekave, li ber destan hew bi birîn e. May the house of the tyrant crumble, under the hands [it is] now wounded.
Paşiya vê herbê naye, hêg dibê û qada naye. The end of this war does not come, [unclear] and the field does not come.
Ecêb rûkê ê çêbibe, lê tima tem... e hana bê... Wonder what face will appear, but... [fades into music].
