Paşê mehniya avê hatin li vê derê, erdê me jî li vê derê ne. Ev a paş me noka erdê me ye. Then because of the water they came here, our land is also here. This right behind us now is our land.

Destpêkê em spasiya te dikin û destên te sax bin, ji ber ku te ev delîva çêkiriye. First of all, we thank you, and bless your hands, for making this deliv (traditional craft).
Te dît em her gundekî diherinê, delîv li gunda gişka hene, ê dibên yê ev çêkirî wefat bûye. You see, every village we go to, there are delivs in all of them, but they say the one who made it has passed away.
Demê em derbasî gundê ve bûn me dît yê delîv çêkirî bi xwe hişyar e. Me jî meraq kir ka em bi te ra hevpeyvînekê çêbikin. When we entered your village, we saw that the one who made the deliv is awake himself. We were curious to do an interview with you.
Merheba. Ehlan we sehlan. Hûn hatine gundê me. Hello. Welcome. You have come to our village.

Ev delîba, bi xwe, bi esas, sê meha bi min ra çû. Heta ku hat meydanê ser û binî. We thank you too. When did you make this stone roller?
Ev delîba, bi xwe, bi esas, sê meha bi min ra çû. Heta ku hat meydanê ser û binî. This roller, essentially, took me three months. Until it was completely finished, top and bottom.
Ev zinar lê, bi debîr me qut kir û şeklî wê me çêkir, naha hebî naha hindayî anî nizanim diku da yî, min nedî, helê geriya min nedî, fa bi vî şeklî min çêkir. Did you lift this rock?
Ev zinar lê, bi debîr me qut kir û şeklî wê me çêkir, naha hebî naha hindayî anî nizanim diku da yî, min nedî, helê geriya min nedî, fa bi vî şeklî min çêkir. This rock, yes, we cut it with effort and shaped it. Now I don't know where the tools are, I haven't seen them. I looked but didn't find them, but I shaped it like this.
Û min rabî xelas kir, cahiz kir, berî gî, ser, hewa... ev kevirê me'serê min çêkir. And I finished it, prepared it. First, the top, this... I made the upper stone of the press.
Îrtifa'a wê metrik e û huna jî metrik e... û pêncî santîme çil santîme. Its height is a meter, and its width is a meter... and fifty centimeters, forty centimeters.
Binî gî, dîsa min min cahiz kir. Fa rabî min bi gund ra got gundî... û me hanî em dikin binqilînin, ji ber çi em dikin wînin gund, me hanî werîs anîn. The bottom part, I prepared again. Then I called the villagers... and we brought it to move it. Because we were bringing it to the village, we brought thick ropes.
Werîs li ra digotin, darikî dirêj kir ortê, çar-pênc mêrik poyşê, çar-pênc mêrik pêşyê, wextê tê da berjero They brought ropes, placed a long stick in the middle. Four or five men behind, four or five men in front. When going downhill,
ê poyşê bera nadin, wextê tê da berjo ra, gî, diftilin dikêşin. Bi vî şeklî hanî dînava malê. the ones behind would hold back. When going uphill, they all pulled together. This is how we brought it into the house.
Yên berê jî wisa bû, yanî we dest pêkî anî an berê me'sere hebû? Was it like this before too? I mean, did you bring it first, or was there already a press?
Lê, min me'serê peyda kir. Min me'serê peyda kir. Ev da kehet min dîrok a hanî, tişta hanî min me'serê qurmîş kir. No, I found the press. I found the press. I brought history, things, and I set up the press.
Hawa? Me'sere di sala, demek... hezar û nehsed û şêst an şêst û sê çêbû. In what year was the press built?
Hawa? Me'sere di sala, demek... hezar û nehsed û şêst an şêst û sê çêbû. What? The press was built in, roughly... nineteen sixty or sixty-three.
Dehe salan me'ser ma. Wextê ku mûdêlê matora derket, wextê dorê şedada derket li me'serê din... gherînin hev ne betilîn. For how many years did the press stay complete?
Dehe salan me'ser ma. Wextê ku mûdêlê matora derket, wextê dorê şedada derket li me'serê din... gherînin hev ne betilîn. The press remained for ten years. When the motor models came out, when the Shaddadi presses started... they replaced each other and didn't stop.
Na aw bûn! Hana, wekî bazinga dihavêtinê digotin lîf. Dihavêtinê û makîna hebûn, dikepsandin... û derdixist. Weren't these clothes before, or not?
Na aw bûn! Hana, wekî bazinga dihavêtinê digotin lîf. Dihavêtinê û makîna hebûn, dikepsandin... û derdixist. No, they were! There, they used to throw things like bracelets called "lîf" (fibers). They threw them, and there were machines, they pressed them... and extracted.
Ev nema hana. Ewa nema. Nema şûnda, ma nehat dewreyê, vê jî nema, me rabî ev kevir a ji wê cîyê wê malê hana, me derxist. This one doesn't have it. That one is gone. After it was gone, and the era passed, and this was no longer used, we brought this stone from that place in the house and took it out.
Me hanî li vê derê, ji milet ra... ji çêkir, ma'nê milet bulxurikî xwe lê bikute, îsotek xwe lê bikute, danî şorba lê bikute. Yanî ji tiştê gunda re ye. We brought it here, for the people... so the people could crush their bulgur, crush their peppers, or make soup. I mean, for village use.
E te kê ra çêkirî vê ra... ev kevira kê çêkirî di vê dîwarî? And who made this... who put these stones in this wall?
Ev dîwar a? Birayê min girt. Bes çêkirina 'edesî gendê me teswîr kir, mu'alimekî gundekî hebû Ela rahma xwe lê de, Mihemedê Qaşa digotin. This wall? My brother built it. But the shaping of the lentil shape, we designed it. There was a master builder in the village, may God have mercy on him, called Mihemed Qaşa.
Nizanî çêkira, min jî ra li ortê hundir min teşkîl kir, te ... daîreyî çawa tê der Gerek derwaza çiqasî santîm be? Kelekê 'edesî binî çiqas santîm be? He didn't know how to make it, so I organized the inside layout for him. Like, how the circle comes out... How many centimeters should the gate be? How many centimeters should the bottom lentil side be?
Min tenzîm kir, û badê ku me'ser xelas bû, me hanî wê derê, kir cîkî de.. I organized it, and after the press was finished, we brought it here, to this place.
Ev de? Wele îcab bike em dikin. Do you still use it now?
Ev de? Wele îcab bike em dikin. This? By God, if needed, we do.
Xaliya sikiran nîne, kî îşê xwe pê heye hure, ji milet ra aw milet. You saw the dams, do you use them now?

Di gundê we da çend kanî hene? How many springs are there in your village?
Welle, birê delal, hevalê delal, kaniyên me dido ne. Well, dear brother, dear friend, we have two springs.
Yek gir bû, mezin bû, ava wê xurt bû, yeka din jî biçûk bû. One was on a hill, big, its water was strong, and the other one was small.
Hema a biçûk, di paşiya xezan da bû, ava xezana avê. But the small one, it was at the back of the reservoir, the water of the reservoir.
Û a din jî li jêr e. And the other one is down there.
Heta me dûmahîka wê kir û hate... gund. Until we extended it and it came... to the village.
Naha kanî neman. Em bêjin ha... ser tin ne? Ne? Now the springs are gone. Should we say they are dry? No?
Tin ne, tin ne. Kaniyên erdê bûn. No, they are gone. They were ground springs.
Bin erdê da ye? Are they underground?
Çima. Why.
Cihê wan li kîderê ye? Where are their locations?
Hema wekî pênc sed metroyan bi hafî me ve ye. It's about five hundred meters away from us.
Li Tûbeyliyê. Navê wê cihê Tûbeyliyê dibêjin. In Tubeyli. The name of that place is called Tubeyli.
Ê navê kaniyê ye an navê wê herêmê ye? Is it the name of the spring or the name of that region?
Na, herêm... Bi herêmê re dibêjin Tûbeyliyê. No, the region... They call the region Tubeyli.
Navê kaniyê tinne? There's no name for the spring?
Tin ne. Kaniya Tûbeyliyê dibêjinê. No. They call it the Tubeyli Spring.
Û a din kîjan e? And which one is the other?
Û a din jî dibêjin Kaniya Biçûk. And they call the other one the Small Spring.
Hema a biçûk e, ew mezin e. It's just a small one, that one is big.
Ê heya kengî we tiştek, yanî hûn diçûn av ji we kaniyê derdixist? So until when did you do that, meaning you went and brought water from that spring?
Birê delal, hevalê delal, ew kaniya, zehmetiyek me pir pê ra dî. Dear brother, dear friend, regarding that spring, we had a lot of difficulties with it.
Dayikên me, xwişkên me, jin, Our mothers, our sisters, women,
Bi hîzan, bi kûnan... dihatin û diçûn wê derê. With water skins, with buckets... they used to go back and forth to that place.
Li pişta milê xwe dikirin, danîn gund. Zerkek av vedixwarin. They would put it on their shoulders, and bring it to the village. We drank a drop of water.
Zerkek av em pê vedixwarin. We drank a drop of water from it.
Ê me dayikên xwe dîtin, me dît çi zehmetî dîtin. So we saw our mothers, we saw what difficulties they faced.
Û ji wê û pê ve... And from then on...
Di wê demê de tu çend salî bû? How old were you at that time?
Ez şeş heşt salî, pênc salî bûm. Ew dem, ev tişt biçûk, di bîra min de ye. I was six, eight years old, five years old. That time, this small thing, is in my memory.
Yanî hîn kanî wisa mezin ferq nedibûn... ez biçûk bûm. Meaning the springs still hadn't become that big of a difference... I was small.
Ê we dewar jî diçûn? Did your cattle also go?
Dewar jî? Wê çaxê, ew dewar tinne bû. The cattle too? At that time, we didn't have cattle.
Gîhan milê xwe didan, pişta xwe didan, av bi kûn a, kun ên ji, They carried it on their shoulders, carried it on their backs, water in buckets, buckets made of,
ayarê dewar çêkirî bûn, li pişta xwe didan, dibirin digihandin mal, me vedixwar. made of cowhides, they would put it on their backs, bring it home, we drank it.
Mêra jî diçûn an bes jinan dianîn? Did men go too, or did only women bring it?
Welle heke mêrî ket tengiyê, av li malê tunebû, û jinên wan li mal nebûn, wê kaniyê ra diçûn. Hema jin diçûn. Well if a man was in a tight spot, there was no water at home, and their wives weren't home, they went to that spring. But women went.
Yanî bi piranî jin diçûn. Meaning mostly women went.
Jin. Women.
Yanî pir zehmetî dikişandin. So they endured a lot of hardship.
Welle zehmetî mezin bû. Pir mezin bû. Well, the hardship was huge. Very huge.
Ê paşê... And then...
Ê we çewa fikirîn, hûn wê avê, hûn derbasî gund bikin? So how did you think of bringing that water to the village?
Dema em fikirîn, yanî mezinên me, ew tişta îxtîra kirin. When we thought about it, meaning our elders, they invented this thing.
Milet bi pêş ket, zanabûn fireh bû. Ê ew ava li wê derê bixwe tê, ma xêr em naynin cem me. The people advanced, knowledge expanded. Since that water over there flows by itself, why not bring it to us.
Heta motorên xwe naxebitin, tiştekî naxebitin. Even our water pumps don't run, nothing runs.
Rabûn kirin berbaq. They got up and made a tank.
Kirin borî. They made a pipe.
Anîn... li wê misellesê... jêrî gund, bû kaniyek. They brought it... to that triangle... below the village, it became a spring.
Du borî kirinê. They put two pipes on it.
Yanî ji jor da kişandin heta jêr. So they pulled it from the top down to the bottom.
Heta jêr. Down to the bottom.
Di ser erdê ra, an di bin erdê ra? Above the ground, or underground?
Na kûr bû. Bi bê xendekî çi, xendekê tê da kolabû. Bûriyê rengî... No, it was deep. A trench was dug for it. Colored pipes...
Anîn gihandin jêr. Dema ew gund a, naha ewçend gund ne mezin bû. Ne fireh bû ew e. They brought it down. When that village was around, it wasn't that big. It wasn't spread out.
Qedrê xwe bi destê xwe dikirin. Çi hawîn, çi zivistan dianîn. Av dibirin... Û dibirin malê, haceta xwe pê didîtin. They fetched their portions with their own hands. Whether it was summer or winter, they brought it. They carried water... And they took it home, they took care of their needs with it.
Ê di wê demê de, kê tanzîm çêkir, mamoste? So at that time, who organized it, teacher?
Wella kî bû? Emê bixwazin dîrokî jî em... Well who was it? Let's look at the history...
Em tiştekî dîrokî jî esasî bibînin... Let's look at it basically from a historical perspective...
Li ser vê herdû kanîna, ev herdû kanî ji xwa da, di çiyayê Gir da dertê. Regarding these two springs, these two springs actually come out of the Gir mountain.
Ev çiyayê Gir, çiyayekî pirî bilind e, û mezin e. This Gir mountain, it is a very tall and large mountain.
Li, navçeyê da, li Helebê, ha ser wî çiyayî tu disekine, heta Helebê xwiya dibe. In the district, in Aleppo, if you stand on that mountain, you can see all the way to Aleppo.
Wî çiyayî? That mountain?
Wî çiyayî. That mountain.
Ê çiqas bilindbûna wê ye? And what is its height?
1250 metro, li ser... li ser piştê behrê re, disekine... 1250 meters, above... above sea level, it stands...
Û li ser pişta wê jî kele heye. And on top of it, there is a castle.
Kele heye. There's a castle?
Kele heye. There is a castle.
Kîjan kela, navê kelê çi bû? Which castle, what was the name of the castle?
Vê ra dibêjin Kela Gir. They call it the Gir Castle.
Bi navê Gir e. It's named Gir.
Asar heye? Tişt hene? Are there ruins? Are there things?
Erê asar heye, Yes, there are ruins,
Dîwarê wê hilweşiyayî ne, Its walls have collapsed,
ji ber zelzela, imkîn... hilweşiya ye. because of the earthquake, probably... it collapsed.
Kî... dîroka ti dizane... dîrokek kelê te zanî? Ji kengî we... ev kel e? Who... do you know the history... do you know the history of the castle? Since when... is this castle?
Dîrok... Dîrokî, hineki min dîroka kelê jî xwendiye... History... History, I have read a bit about the history of the castle...
Dîroka ev kelo... hineki esasê wan jiberê, di dema Rûm da hatin danîn. The history of this castle... some of its foundations were laid in the past, during the time of the Romans.
Dema kurdan daye? Is it from the time of the Kurds?
Dema kurdan. Hûriyan da ye. The time of the Kurds. It's from the Hurrians.
Hîn dema Hûriyan de, belkî ev mixeteta hatin çêkirin. Even back in the time of the Hurrians, perhaps these plans were made.
Piştre, Hûriyên... Later, the Hurrians...
Hûriyan da... From the Hurrians...
Hûrî yî tên... The Hurrians who came...
Belkî, yek ji navê kelê jî, Kela Hûrî bibe, bi navê Hûriyan e, ew nas dikirin. Perhaps, one of the names of the castle is the Hurrian Castle, it's named after the Hurrians, that's how they knew it.
Erê... Ev girêdayî kela Hûrî ye, ev kela behsê dikî? Yes... Is this connected to the Hurrian Castle, this castle you're talking about?
Belê, ev kelo jî girêdayî Kela Hûrî ye. Yes, this castle is also connected to the Hurrian Castle.
Kela Hûrî li deştê ye, ev jî li çiyayê da ye. The Hurrian Castle is in the plains, and this one is on the mountain.
Ev kelo ji bo parastineke mezin, gora kela danîbûn. This castle, for a great defense, was built as a guard for the castle.
Hinek ji pere û xezîna wan jî di vê kelê da hinekî dihat... hat... parastin. Some of their money and treasure was also somewhat... was... protected in this castle.
Ji bo wê parastinê. Ji ber kela ku çiyayê wê bilind e û mezin e. For that protection. Because the castle has a tall and large mountain.
Parastina wê, xezîne, kelan, derdorê wê kelê, li vir çêdikirin. Its protection, the treasure, castles, the surroundings of that castle, they built them here.
Naha li piştî wê çiyayî jî sînor e? Now, is there also a border behind that mountain?
Temam. Ew çiyayê, Exactly. That mountain,
milê xwe dixe, yê rojava. it leans to the side, to the west.
Yalî din jî dikeve sînor. Sînor. Û Bakur, de herê. The other side falls on the border. The border. And the North, go on.
Ev çiyayê, heft baskên xwe hene. Heft bask em dibînin. This mountain has seven ridges. We see seven ridges.
Ev baskan wisa, wek mîna girtina çiyê ye, yanî, These ridges are like the hold of the mountain, meaning,
wek amûdan we ra dibînin. they look like pillars to you.
Hinek ji milê Başûr dikevin. Some fall to the Southern side.
Hinek jî ji milê Bakur dikevin. Some also fall to the Northern side.
Yanî hinek dikeve ser sînor. Û derbasî wî yalî dibin. Hinek jî derbasî vî yalî dibin. Meaning some fall on the border. And they cross to that side. Some also cross to this side.
Ema, vê dû kaniyan ha... But, regarding these two springs...
Ev jî ji ber ku ava kaniyan a gir da derdikeve, belkî eweliyên me jî ev tişta wek wisa dîtine. This is also because the water of the springs comes out of the mountain, perhaps our ancestors also saw this thing like that.
Piştî, em bûn belediyat, li navçeya me derbas dibe. Li nahyeyan. After, we became a municipality, it passed into our district. In the sub-districts.
Serokê belediyê, ji gund bû. Navê xwe Ebdilhemîd e. The head of the municipality was from the village. His name was Abdulhamid.
Hinekî wî însanî xebat kir. That person worked somewhat.
Ji bo vê avê, li nav gund tevahiya wê belav bike. To distribute this water entirely within the village.
Şebeke avê çêkirin. They built a water network.
Bi alîkariya milet, milîltê... û dewlet, nîzamê. With the help of the people, the public... and the state, the administration.
Yanî ew kaniya derbasî malan giyan dibe? So that spring passes into all the houses?
Her kaniya, her malan a, Every spring, every house,
Ew kaniyên ha... bûne şebekeyên avê, ji henefî derbasî malan giya dibin. Her kes ava xwe distîne. Those springs... have become a water network, passing into every house through faucets. Everyone gets their water.
Mal ava, mala we ava be. Thank you, may your house be blessed.
Sax bibe. Be well.
Spas ji we re, li ser çava, hevalê delal. Thank you, welcome, dear friend.

Di warê xizmetguzariyê da welatiyên gund di sala 1940'yî da, In the field of public services, the citizens of the village in the year 1940,
bi hevkariya hev, ava kaniya Tubaleyê bi boriyekê kêşandin, with mutual cooperation, they drew the water of the Tubaley spring with a pipe,
Û li hemû malan belav kirin. And distributed it to all houses.
Şêniyên gund heta niha, ava vexwarinê ji heman kaniyê peyda dikin. The residents of the village still obtain their drinking water from the same spring.
Li rojavayê gund ziyaregeheke kevnar bi navê Şêx Bî Çeqel û Derwêş Qasim hene. To the west of the village, there is an ancient shrine named Sheikh Bi Cheqel and Derwesh Qasim.
Li gorî gundiyan, ev herdu kes Êzdî ne. According to the villagers, these two people are Yezidi.
Û ji rojhilat ve hatine. And they came from the east.
Û li vir şer kirine, And they fought here,

Ê spas jaro... wekî daran hûn vedidin? Thanks old man... so you beat the trees?
Em daran vedidin, zeytûnên xwe qut dikin, va 25 hezar dar e giştî mesrefa wan e... We beat the trees, cut our olives, these 25 thousand trees, all of it is their expense...
Yanî qut dikin, dajon, lê rûdinên, radibin, xwedî dikin. I mean they pick them, transport them, stay by them, get up, take care of them.

Naha di sala ku mêsimê xwe nîne hûn çi bi wan dikin? Now in the year that is not its season, what do you do with them?
Em va dikin, bes xizmet tim heye. We do this, but there is always service.
Salê mêsim heyî an tinne mezaxtiyê, cuh daştinê, va dana giştî lê dikin. The year there is a season or not, the expenses, plowing, they do all of it to it.
Saq kirinê kûrmancan, derman kirinê... The Kurds' pruning, spraying medicine...
Vê mentiqa me, qismek jî derman dikin mehnî kurmî buha war e... In this region of ours, a part also spray medicine because the worms are expensive...
Kurmî di darê de da ku dar pê xerab nebe û dar cema bi derman kirin rind e... diçe. The worm in the tree, so the tree doesn't get ruined by it, and the tree is generally good with spraying... it goes.
Dar ê derman kirin rind ê cih e. The sprayed tree is in a good state.
Bi nîsba zeytûnan re, bi nîsba kurm, bi nîsba şixul rind ê cih in. Regarding olives, regarding worms, regarding work, they are in a good state.
Spas jaro jê. Thanks old man for it.
Ehlen we sehlen. Welcome.
Va dar a wa hindik ma bidawî be... This tree of yours is almost finished...
Em hene em ê bar alîkar bin. We are here to help load it.

Bes va noka baqan bixişîne, ma qet xêra di te da xwe nîne. Just drag these bundles now, is there no goodness in you.
Şerîf ha weleh Şerîf e mîro. Sharif, yes by God Sharif is the man.

Hevalê Şerîf e, maro dar e jî dikeyîl e... Sharif's friend, man he is shaking the tree too...
Li jêrî gund Kevirek bi navê Kevirê Qul heye ku ji aliyê şêniyên gund ve pîroziyeke wê heye. Below the village, there is a stone called the Holed Stone, which is considered sacred by the villagers.
Şêniyên gund û xelkê derdorê ji bo xweşbîniyê, di sibehên înê de, diçin ber vî kevirî. The villagers and people of the surrounding area go to this stone on Friday mornings for healing/optimism.
Û kesên nexweş, bi taybetî zarokan di wê qulê re derbas dikin. And sick people, especially children, are passed through that hole.
Yek ji çîrokên vî gundî. One of the stories of this village.
Kal û pîrên gund dibêjin, ku di sala 1932 an de nêzî 400 çete, bi serkêşiya Heydikî, êrîşî gund dikin. The elders of the village say that in the year 1932, nearly 400 bandits led by Heydiki attacked the village.
Di heman êrîşê de sê welatî ji gund têne kuştin. In that same attack, three citizens of the village were killed.
Û welatî ji ber xweparastinê, tola xwe bi kuştina serçeteyê wan Heydikî hiltînin, û çete ji gund direvin. And the citizens, for self-defense, took their revenge by killing their bandit leader Heydiki, and the bandits fled the village.
