Em dixwazin niha di destpêkê de, We want now at the beginning,
Sê gund in? Her sê jî bi navê Şêxûrzê tê nas kirin. There are three villages? All three are known by the name Shekhourze.
Belê. Yes.
Naha dema tu dibêje Şêxûrzê sê gund in. Now when you say Shekhourze, there are three villages.
Di nav we de jî, navên cuda hene? Among yourselves, are there different names?
Tabi hene. Of course there are.
Hene. There are.
Kî ji me re bêje? Who will tell us?
Şêxûrz bi xwe sê perçe ye. Shekhourze itself is three parts.
Miletê wî gişt yek e. Its people are all one.
Yanî gişt me rîviya hev din e, raçawî, malbat hene, I mean, we are all related to each other, relatives, there are families,
lê gişt me rîviya hev din e û dane hev û standin e. but we are all related and have intermarried.
Ji tarîxê ya ne dî navê xwe yek ê tim. Historically, they have always had one name.
Amma di nav derwê de, derveyî gund, dibên Şêxûrz. But outside, outside the village, they say Shekhourze.
Sê perçeyên Şêxûrzê. The three parts of Shekhourze.
Amma di nav me de, nav gundan sê nav têne nas kirin. But among us, within the villages, they are known by three names.
Şêxûrziya jêrîn we re dibên Şêxûrziya jêrîn. The lower Shekhourze, they are called lower Shekhourze.
Bi vir we re dibên Şêxûrziya salko we re dibên. Yanî gundê ûrtê salko. For this one, they say Shekhourze of Salko. That is, the middle village, Salko.
Amma Şêxûrziyê jorîn we re dibên gundê korê. Şêxûrza korê. But for upper Shekhourze, they say the village of Kore. Shekhourze of Kore.
Ev nav ji ku hatin e? Where did these names come from?
Ya korê meseleyek berê, The one of Kore, an old issue,
Qazek li wê derê bûn, bayê bakur pir diçû ser. There were some geese there, the north wind used to hit them a lot.
Di kurmancî rastî ji bakur... Yanî bakur wekî eliyek. In Kurdish actually from the north... I mean north as a direction.
Nav lêkirin gundê korê. They named it the village of Kore (blind).
Vir jî, demekê de pez pir bû, Here too, at one time there were many sheep,
Yanî şîr pir dikişandin, dikirin saleh, I mean, they churned a lot of milk, they made butter,
Ew e dikirin saleh, saetê nav lêkirin gundê salko. They were making butter (saleh), then they named it the village of Salko.
Yanî Xweda wan pez û salek digirtin we rebî pir bû. Bi vî rengî te. I mean, they had sheep and would get butter, there was a lot of it. Like this.
Kîjan gundan destpêkê ava bûn? Which villages were built first?
Gundê jêr de pêşî ava bû ye. The lower village was built first.
Gundê jêr, Şêxûrziya jêrîn, The lower village, lower Shekhourze,
Beriya giya ava bûye. Was built before all of them.
Piştî wê jî millet derbasî vî gundî jî bû, ew gundî jî bû. After that, the people passed to this village too, and that village too.
Herkî millet pir bû. As the population grew.
Yanî de naha iştê her sê gund bi navê Şêxûrzê têne naskirin yanî, heya naha. Ev e rengî. I mean, now all three villages are known by the name Shekhourze, until now. That's how it is.
Navê Şêxûrzê ji ku hatiye? Where did the name Shekhourze come from?
Di vir de, Here,
Yanî dema em wekî ku em ehis kirin ji bav û kalên xwe, tiştê ku em bihîstin, I mean, as we felt from our ancestors, the things we heard,
Şêxûrz demê Hûriyîn de, Kela Hûrî. Shekhourze during the time of the Hurrians, Cyrrhus Castle.
Belê. Yes.
Nav nex tênas kirinê wê Nebî Hûrî, It is known by the name Nebi Houri,
bi navê Hûriyîn de hatiye nas kirin. It became known by the name of the Hurrians.
Ew demê de Kurd li vir derê dijiya, wê mentiqê teva dijiya, xasten di Şêxûrzê dijiya yanî. At that time Kurds lived here, they lived in this whole area, especially they lived in Shekhourze.
Yanî heta hedûdên me, sînorên me, heta bi Kela Hûrî derê. I mean, up to our borders, our boundaries, up to Cyrrhus Castle.
Û heta sînorên Tirkiyê derê. And up to the Turkish borders.
Hemî dibin em heta sînor derkete. We all go until the border comes out.
Emê alî qebla ve jî wek gotin Dêriqilê û Serîncek, From the southern side as well, as they say, Deriqile and Serincek,
û heta digihê Qizilbaşo. and all the way to Qizilbasho.
Alî rojava da, On the western side,
Digihê Kotana û Qirta û Qestelê. It reaches Kotana and Qirta and Qestele.
Yanî rûberek fireh e gelkî. I mean, it's a very wide area.
Pir fireh e, sînorê Şêxûrzê gelek fireh e, û milletê wê jî gelek zaf in. It's very wide, the borders of Shekhourze are very wide, and its people are also very numerous.
Yanî gelek zaf in. I mean, very numerous.
Naha me bi hezara basî miletê ye. Miletê me li derwa pir e. Now we have thousands of people mentioned. We have many people outside.
Em pir derwa ye em bêjim em di vir dî Şamê jî hene. We have many outside, I can say we are here and we are in Damascus too.
E di dema ku Heleb hebû li Heleb pir gelek mal hebûn yanî, heta elmî min tê de ye pêncsed û çil malî me Helebê bûn. And when Aleppo was accessible, there were many households in Aleppo, up to my knowledge, we had five hundred and forty households in Aleppo.
Bes li Helebê bûn. Just in Aleppo alone.
Xeyrî Efrînê, û xeyrî Şamê û xeyrî Tebqa û, Apart from Afrin, and apart from Damascus, and apart from Tabqa and,
û xeyrî Reqayê û her derî ku hebûn, miletê me pir belav bibû. and apart from Raqqa and wherever they were, our people had spread a lot.
Yanî ji ber meîşet... I mean because of livelihood...
Demek de hat, yanî herkî milet pir bû meîşet gelek kêm bû, erdê me jî têr nedikir, ji ber vê yekê milet hicret dikir. Diçû Helebê, yanî diçû. A time came, I mean as the population grew, the livelihood became very scarce, our land wasn't enough, because of this people migrated. They went to Aleppo, I mean they went.
Helebê, yan Reqê, yan Şamê, diçû ji bo debar axwe. To Aleppo, or Raqqa, or Damascus, they went to make a living.
Da debara xwe bike. To make a living.
Bi vir rengî bî. It was like this.
Amma em hatin demê Hûriyîn da, wekî ku Şêxûrz tê nas kirin, But we come to the time of the Hurrians, as Shekhourze is known,
û heta Ro milletê Kurd li vî derî dijî û heye ev millet o yanî. and up to the Romans, the Kurdish people live here and this people exists.
Têk milletek din di nav tine ye. Heta nav me da, tivik milet din tunene gî kurd in. There is no other nation among us. Even among us, there is no other nation, all are Kurds.
Temamiya wê kurd in temam da. All of them are Kurds in total.
Rê di dîroka derbaz te bê heta rom hate. The path in history passes until the Romans came.
Dema Rûm hatin, navê Şêxûrzê, bi navê Sîrûs hate naskirin. When the Romans came, the name of Shekhourze became known as Cyrrhus.
Belê. Yes.
Wê çaxê Sîrûs bû. At that time it was Cyrrhus.
Belê. Yes.
Emma Sîrûs jî, dema ku Rûm pir hukim dikiya vê derê, zû de Romiyan bes li mentîqa me tenê hukum dikir. But Cyrrhus too, when the Romans ruled this place a lot, back then the Romans only ruled our area.
Rojhelata Navîn tevda wî hikum dikir. It ruled the entire Middle East.
Heta bi hedê Hindê çûn. They even went up to the borders of India.
Ji wê şûndê demek Osmaniyan derdiket, împaratoriya Osmanî wî jî derbeke hukmê xwe fireh kir di Rojhelata Navîn da. After that, the Ottomans emerged for a while, the Ottoman Empire also expanded its rule in the Middle East.
Heta bi Qafqasya o û dera çûyî. Even to the Caucasus and everywhere they went.
Li vî derê kirin yanî Sîrûs. In this place, they made it Cyrrhus.
Sîrûs yanî, heta tey bîranîna me na, du pîr yanî, Fransa de hatibûn derê gesa. Cyrrhus I mean, even in our memory no, two old... I mean, from France they had come.
Kele de pirsî, de berî de hat gundê me, de gût Sîrûs. They asked at the castle, before they came to our village, they said Cyrrhus.
Vir de pirs dikir derbas de bi. They asked here and passed by.
Demê em ha Osmaniyan da, wa navê hanê hat guherandin. When we came to the Ottomans, that name was changed.
Nav lê kirin Şêxûrz. They named it Shekhourze.
Yanî menê Şêxûrz çite? I mean what does Shekhourze mean?
Şêxûrz, di raya xwena yek ji terîxoz de bê di vê derê gelek darê pir bûn. Shekhourze, from its root, one from history it is said that there were many trees here.
Emma Osmanî meselek siyasî bî. But the Ottomans, it was a political issue.
Tim dixast çi bikî, milet ji netewa wî dûr bixîne. They always wanted to do whatever, distance the people from their nation.
Jiber ku tiştên olî de, herêm e emez, tiştê ku em nekî... ol jî em na... em îkaro olî nakin, Because of religious things, region... things that we don't do... religion too we don't... we don't deny religion,
xistin çi bikin meselê dinî, yanî milet dinê da bîne kese netewetiya netewiya xwe tiştî nefikire. they wanted to do whatever, religious issues, I mean bring people into religion so no one thinks of their nationality, their nationality at all.
Yanî gelek navên gundê me hatin e guhartin. Tê de dima Osmaniyan da piraniya navên gundên me hatine guhertin. I mean many names of our villages have been changed. In the Ottoman era, most of the names of our villages were changed.
Piştî wê rêjîma Bees hat, wan jî gihat guhertin. After that the Ba'ath regime came, they also changed them.
Dema Rêjîma hatiye Rêjîma Bees. Ji vî demî dinavê gundê we jî guhartinê? When the regime came, the Ba'ath regime. From this time, did the name of your village change too?
Na na ne guharin. Çiqas gund guherîn, Şêxûrz ma Şêxûrz, heta dema hiro. No, no they didn't change it. No matter how many villages changed, Shekhourze remained Shekhourze, until today.
Ev ne hate gûhertinên bi ji te re nim. This didn't get changed I'm telling you.
Emma Şêxûrz jî me got demê, yanî go Hûriyîn şûn de, we mesele Sîrûs, But Shekhourze too, as we said at the time, I mean after the Hurrians, and the issue of Cyrrhus,
Şêrxûz me gût tûxêk gelek dûr e, yanî bi hezar sala yî. Shekhourze, we said its root is very old, I mean thousands of years.
Amma tiştê ku bav û kalyên me gotin, ev Şêrxûza hatî ji jiyankirin, le ev dera jîne, But what our ancestors said, this Shekhourze that lived, that lived here,
bi wî we debêl... with that they say...
Di ber bîrek heye, Down there is a well,
ev derê tilê bîrek heye, hetan eha qap hane û derhanê milet vira dijiya. down there at the hill there's a well, until now there are doors and places and people lived there.
Piştî vê derbasî nava vî gundî dibin. After this, they pass into the middle of this village.
Gundê jêr û vir da vir da, le wir jiyan kirin. The lower village and here and there, they lived there.
Yanî dîrokê vî gundî nas ku em têr bi bim hêsê din ha sed sal heye. I mean, the history of this village, if I look back, it goes back around seven hundred to eight hundred years.
Kevne. It's old.
Kevne. Pir kevne. Şêrxûz bi xwe pir kevne. It's old. It's very old. Shekhourze itself is very old.
Bes ev es gunda dûre nehe sed sal e dîrokî Şêrxûze wî derî nayê heya. But this village is older, nine hundred years the history of Shekhourze is known here.
Apê Mihemed Elî tiştek ne dihat pirsim... Uncle Mihemed Elî I have another question...
Naha wek, berî ez derbasî gundê bibe tiştek bala min hat kişand, Now like, before I entered the village something caught my attention,
min gotin gundê hefter... tu dînî gundê hefter, ew jî giş cematçunê? they said the village of Hefter... you know the village of Hefter, did they all gather?
Belê, Yes,
No em bi bê, em bi bî, te bîr a min yanî... No let me say, let me say, to my recollection...
muxtarê gundê, pênç perçe mûxtar gund bûn. the village headman (mukhtar), five parts had a village headman.
Yanî gundê hefter aw jî weke Şêxûrz tê nas kirin... ebdiyan e tev derî. I mean the village of Hefter, that too is known as Shekhourze... Abdiyan is all there.
Yanî berî milletekî vî jî hemî li Şêxûrzê bû? I mean, previously all of its people were in Shekhourze?
Gî Şêxûrzê bû. Paşî ve çûbûn wîr gund xwê çê kirin. All were in Shekhourze. Then they went there and built their village.
Gund Hefter teyrebî, gundike. The village of Hefter, maybe, is a small village.
Û gundê Ebdiyanî jî, And the village of Abdiyan too,
nîvî gundê zêdetir... more than half of the village...
Gî ji gundî me ye, Şêxûrzê ne. Are all from our village, they are Shekhourze.
Gî Şêxûrzê ne. Ew ekî di derdin hatin wir, de re şên kirin. They are all Shekhourze. Some of them came out and went there, and populated it.
Ew praniyên gundî, Şêxorze heta dema ku muxtarê me yek bû. Yanî pênc gundan muxtarek bû. Most of the villagers, Şêxorze, even when we had one mukhtar. Meaning one mukhtar for five villages.
Hingê goristana we jî yek e? Then your graveyard is also one?
Na. Ebidan qismek têne cem me. Qismek na. Yen din dibin Berhûrî. Kele Hûrî. Lê heft bavên Ebidan têne sê Şêxorzeyan. Goristana me gî yek e. No. A part of Ebidan comes to us. A part doesn't. The others they take to Berhûrî. Kele Hûrî. But the seven ancestors of Ebidan come to the three Şêxorzes. Our graveyard is all one.
Belê. Yes.
Niha apê Mihemed, ez tiştekî din ji te bipirsim. Niha te digot gelek gund û ev hemî girêdayî Şêxorzê ne, ev gundê Ebidanê, ev gundê ha... dibistana we jî yek bû? Now Uncle Mihemed, let me ask you something else. Now you were saying many villages and all of these are connected to Şêxorze, this village of Ebidan, this village here... was your school also one?
Dema dibistan di sala 1938'an da hatiye avakirin. Dora deh gundan dixwend. When the school was built in the year 1938. About ten villages studied.
Di cem me dixwendin. Deh - yanzdeh gund dihatin, dûr û şermê me de dihatin. Ez kanim carek wan giya jî belê bikim yanî. They studied with us. Ten or eleven villages came, they came from far and our shame. I can also name them all for you.
Yanî, em bêjin gundê Jorê, gundê Kurdo, Ebidan, Heftêr, sê Şêxorz, Sariya, Nîca, Durixliya, gundê Omer. Vana giya dihatin mekteba dibistana Şêxorzê dixwendin. Vî rengî bû. I mean, let's say the Upper village, the village of Kurdo, Ebidan, Heftêr, the three Şêxorzes, Sariya, Nîca, Durixliya, the village of Omer. All of these came to the school of Şêxorze and studied. It was like this.
Heta çend salan dihatin gundê we? Until what year did they come to your village?
Welahî heta zemanê ku ez te ra bêjim '64'an da ez sala sêyê mektebê bûm... dihatin. By God until the time that I tell you in '64 I was in the third year of school... they were coming.
Lê di sala '64'an da man heft gund tenê. Heft gund dihatin. But in the year '64 only seven villages remained. Seven villages were coming.
Vî rengî bû. It was like this.
Piştî wê jî te dî mekteb peyda bûn li her gundekî. Dibistan li her gundekî hatiye avakirin. After that too you saw schools appeared in every village. A school was built in every village.
Şêxorzê me tenê man. Êdî xwendina xwe... mekteba xwe dewam dikirin. Vî rengî ye. Only our Şêxorze remained. Then their studies... they continued their school. It is like this.
Û Şêxorzê me go demê dîrokê xwe pir kevnar e. And our Şêxorze we said its historical time is very ancient.
Yanî tiştê ku bav û kalên ku me çiqas behs kirî, Şêxorzê berê dibê sê malbat hebûn. Du malbat hebûn. Ketiye, vala, pir. I mean the thing that our ancestors that we talked about so much, in Şêxorze before they say there were three families. There were two families. It fell, empty, full.
Heta niha kes ji wan nemaye. Yanî meselen çar malbat hene ku kesê wan li Şêxorzê nemaye. Çûyine Tirkiyê ku kova çûyine nizanim. Until now none of them remained. I mean for example there are four families where none of them remained in Şêxorze. They went to Turkey, where they went I don't know.
Niha çend malbat in? Now how many families are there?
Na halê hazir de deh û yek malbat hene. No currently there are eleven families.
Yanzdeh malbat hene. Ev malbatên han jî, her malbatek bûne sisê, çar... î heye bûye pênc... nav têne naskirin. There are eleven families. These families too, every family became three, four... some became five... names are known.
Lê malbata esasî deh û yek in. Mumkîne ji derveyî gund hatibin. Lê ev dused salî bêtir hatine naskirin. But the main family are eleven. It's possible they came from outside the village. But for these two hundred years they have been known more.
Şêxorz bi xwe. Û pênç perçe bi eşîrî rûşkî têne naskirin. Şêxorz itself. And five parts are known as the Rûşkî tribe.
Vî rengî ye. It is like this.
Apê Mihemed ez tiştekî din ji te bipirsim. Niha dema Fransa li vê herêma me, derbasî gundê we jî bûbû di wê demê da? Uncle Mihemed let me ask you something else. Now when France was in this region of ours, had they passed into your village too in that time?
Belê. Em kanin wî jî bi kîsî te ra bêjin eşkere bikin. Yes. We can tell you that entirely and explain it.
Di 1936'an da. De ku Fransa 25'an derbasî Sûriyê bû. Di 36'an da hereketekî netewî li Şêxorzê peyda bû. In 1936. When France entered Syria in '25. In '36 a national movement appeared in Şêxorze.
Rabin nav lê kirin Mucahidîn wê zemanî. Rabin şerê Fransa kirin. They got up and called them Mujahideen at that time. They got up and fought France.
Di '39'an da. Çûyîn çiyayê Parsê li hember yanî em bêjin Ezazê. Kela Ezazê ha ye, Baflûn e, û Qitmê ye. Li wê derê çiyayê Parsê li wir e. In '39. Going to Mount Parsê opposite I mean let's say Ezaz. There's Ezaz Castle, it's Baflûn, and Qitmê. There Mount Parsê is there.
Li wê derê çûn şerê Fransa kirin, dema Fransa şerê wan kir, telefona qut kirin, gurve damê der kirin... They went there and fought France, when France fought them, they cut the telephones, they took off the socks...
Teyareyên Fransa hatin ser Şêxorzê. Çiqas gotin teslîm bin wan waraqe çêkirin e nav teslîm in, milet jî teslîm nebû... French airplanes came over Şêxorze. However much they said surrender they made a paper saying they surrender, the people also didn't surrender...
Berxwedan gotin, em jî weke gurve damê... Rabin teyareyên Fransa hatin li gundê jêr xistin. Çar pênc cîhan xistin. Resistance they said, we too like taking off socks... They got up French airplanes came and hit the lower village. They hit four five places.
Xwezî we zemanî. Heta du sê pêr qezîfe xwe derket. Berî vî qezîfa ku wira derket. Fortunately at that time. Even two three days ago its projectile came out. Before this projectile that came out there.
Li vir xistin, milet gî revî Tirkiyê. Dema revî Tirkiyê ê hey sê meh ma, ê hey şeş meh ma, we gişk safî gerîn. Hatin... They hit here, all the people fled to Turkey. When they fled to Turkey some stayed three months, some stayed six months, then all safely returned. They came...
Bakurê Kurdistanê. Çûn cem meriyên xwe, ew gundên ku dor hedûd sînor... û vegerîn. Sê meh, şeş meh, î hey salek ma, gî vegerîn gundê xwe. To Northern Kurdistan. They went to their relatives, those villages that are around the border limits... and returned. Three months, six months, some stayed a year, all returned to their village.
Ser rawa Şêxorz. Jîyan kirin, û bi vî tunî derbas kirin heta roja me ya îro. The Şêxorz way. They lived, and completely passed like this until our day today.
Amo tiştê we... hereketên netewî çêbûn. Li vir, em bêjin gundê me da. But your thing... national movements happened. Here, let's say in our village.
Çiqas hereketên kurdî hene gî di vira ra derbas bûn. Heta ew hereketa Azadî... Partiya Karkerên Kurdistanê... Whatever Kurdish movements there are all passed through here. Even that Azadi movement... Kurdistan Workers' Party...
PKK. Di sala '81'ê da derbasî vî gundî bû. Û heta roja îro em dewam dikin, li ser wê xetê, li ser vî tiştî netewî. PKK. In the year '81 it entered this village. And until today we continue, on that line, on this national thing.
Ê di van gundan de jî gelek gerîla û em wek te bêjin şervan û YPG/YPJ derketin. And in these villages too many guerrillas and let's say fighters and YPG/YPJ came out.
Û gelek şehîdên me jî hene. Sê gundan da deh û şeş şehîdên me hene. Û bi dehan bîstan jî heta niha di nav şoreşa me da ne. And we have many martyrs too. In three villages we have sixteen martyrs. And by tens and twenties too until now they are in our revolution.
Û li ser wê xetê, li ser asê em dewam dikin. Em j'we ra jî zor spas dikin. And on that line, on that stronghold we continue. We thank you very much too.
Em jî spasya we dikin. We thank you too.
Em dibên, silavek germ sê gund Şêxorzê ji Serok Apo ra... Û ji YPG, YPJ ra... Û gerîlayên serê çiyan ra... We say, a warm greeting from the three villages of Şêxorze to Leader Apo... And to YPG, YPJ... And the guerrillas on top of the mountains...
Û ji vana me jî hebs û zîndanan ra. Û bijî Serok Apo. And to these of ours in the prisons and dungeons. And long live Leader Apo.
Em jî pir sipas dikin. We thank you very much too.

Emrê min pêncî ye. My age is fifty.
Pêncî ye... Yanî qet tu hema kengî li ser çandiniyê zane bûyî? Fifty... I mean when did you completely become knowledgeable about farming?
Lê temam, em çûyine zaroktî em dizanin. Em bixwe diçînin, kalikê me diçandin, mezinên me diçandin, em jî gundî ne, em traktorê dajon... Yes totally, we went to childhood we know. We plant ourselves, our grandfathers planted, our elders planted, we are villagers too, we drive tractors...
Zeytûn, rez. Û em gund gişt piranî bi xebatê û bi jiyan û muaişeta, em gişt li ser çinîna zeytûnê re, zehf zeytûn ango rezan. Olives, vineyard. And we the village all mostly with work and with life and livelihood, we all on harvesting olives, mostly olives or vineyards.
Piranî tiştek din wekî dî me tuneye yanî. Û em tên çinîna xwe diçinin roj bi roj. Mostly we don't have anything else I mean. And we come harvest our harvest day by day.
Bes ev in wekî em ne malek din em pênc şeş malên malbat in me digrin yê hevdu ne... hefteyê em rojekê malê yê istirahetê ye. But these are like we aren't another house we are five six houses of family we take each other's... one day a week is a rest day at home.
Sibe em saet şeşan tên, heta deh yan yanzdeha... Û em diserifin dikanin mal. Tomorrow we come at six o'clock, until ten or eleven... And we spend go back home.
Em malî xwe jî em... kom dikin ji gund yanî, malbat. Our family too we... gather from the village I mean, family.
Mêr û jin bi hevra tên em kar dikin û em dibin mal. Em dibin sûkê ji difiroşin. Men and women come together we work and we take home. We take to the market too to sell.
Kîlo bi heta pêncsedê didin, heta şeşsedî didin. Hesab çî ye, rextê. They give a kilo for up to five hundred, they give up to six hundred. Account what is it, time.
Kîjan cûreyê tirî ye ev, yê ku evqasî te? Which type of grape is this, the one that is so much to you?
Ev duqilkên baladî ne, ev e yên e aslî ye. Asasa me ev e. These are the local duqilks, this is the original one. Our basis is this.
Qey cûreyên din yên tiriyê jî hene? Are there other varieties of grapes too?
Lê ne weke vî rindin... ev yê firansî ne... ev yê ser wî rayî... Ev yê esasî, duqilkên me yên esas ev in. But they are not as good as this... these are the French ones... this is on its root... This is the main one, our main duqilks are these.
Piranî ew e? Mostly it is that?
Piranî me ew in. Û em rezê xwe jî ekserî av nadin ceme... Em av jî nadin. Avên ba me tune. Mostly ours are those. And we mostly don't water our vineyards with us... We don't water either. Water isn't with us.
Çawa av nadin? Ceme we kaniyê avê tunene? How do you not water? Are there no water springs with you?
Na kaniyê ceme me tunene. Rehmet dibare. Bişîne Xwedê bi xwere dibe. Em bendî baranê ne... No water springs aren't with us. Mercy falls. Sends God with himself it grows. We are waiting for the rain...
Rehma Xwedê diweşe... salê me xweş dibe. Reze me, milkê me xweş dibe. Lênabarî elela. Çiqas kete tiştek di wê nav rezan... ev eyanî... cureyekî zeytûn ne... God's mercy falls... our year becomes good. Our vineyard, our property becomes good. If it doesn't rain, well. Whatever fell something in that among the vineyards... this is evident... a variety of olives...
Niha birê Riyad. Baş e piranî rez û zeytûn. Cûreyên zeytûnê çi cûre hene? Now brother Riyad. Okay mostly vineyard and olive. Types of olives what types are there?
Fewekî din jî hene. Di nav reza da mesele wek hejîran e wek behîvan e û tiştê bejî jî nava milkê me da diçe. There are other fruits too. In the vineyard for example like figs like almonds and dry land things also go in our property.
Sêv dibin nava mil... erda me dibe. Hejîr bi mezinî hene... tiştî wiha... gundek tewliheviya zeytûn û rezan e. Apples grow in the prop... our land it grows. Figs by size are there... things like that... it's a village of a mixture of olives and vineyards.
Yanî piraniya we bi zeytûn û rezan in. So the majority of you are with olives and vineyards.
Û rezan erê. Em piştî vê wextî tirî jî dibin mehserê. Em dibsê xwe çêdikin. And vineyards yes. After this time we take grapes to the press too. We make our molasses.
Li kuderê hûn dîbş çêdikin? Li gund hene? Where do you make molasses? Are there any in the village?
Erê gund hene... deweya hene em li vira çêdikin. Em dibsê xwe derdixînin dikanin... yê hey dikanin firotin... yê hey divin bajar difroşin. Hesib... çiqasî tije bû. Te xwe mişe kir bi xwe kir. Yes the village has... there are pots we make it here. We take out our molasses, go back... some go back to sell... some take to the city to sell. Depending... on how much got filled. You made it abundant for yourself.
Niha betaybet jin piranî kar dikin? Mêr jî kar dikin lê jin jî kar dikin? Now especially women mostly work? Men also work but women also work?
Mêr kêmin, bes ekserî hevaniya me jin têne... kariya wa jin heye. Men are few, but mostly our support women come... there is work of women.
Te behsa jût kir? Jin jî cût dikin, jûta dewêr, te digot jûta dewêr. Ew jî berê hebû yan na? You talked about plowing? Do women plow too, the cattle plow, you were saying the cattle plow. Was that there before or no?
Dewêr hebûn berê. Naha nîn in. Naha traktor in. Berê hebûn. Dewêr hebûn, bergir hebûn... qantir hebûn. Pê ra dajotin. Kalikê me bavkê me ajotine. Bes niha ne ma tequr. There were cattle before. Now there are not. Now it's tractors. Before there were. There were cattle, there were horses... there were mules. They drove with them. Our grandfathers our fathers drove. But now there's none left completely.
Ê cotkariya kêrindî baştîrn cotkar kî bûn? Mesele berya niha we digotin flan gundê flan cotkar? And the plowing whose was the best plowmen who were they? For example before now you used to say so-and-so village's so-and-so plowman?
Welle yê git gî... piraniya şêxorziyên me de guva me giştiya ku em di ajotin piraniya cîranên şêxorzî we mamê Mistefa e di ajot. Gundi Orti... Well everyone... most of our Şêxorzîs so our whole effort that we plowed most of the neighbors of Şêxorze your uncle Mistefa he plowed. Middle Village...
Rehmetî bû, Xwedê rehmê lê ke. Şerab rind dikir... Gundê Kurê qet kes di derheqê wî xeletiyek ne digot... He was late, may God have mercy on him. He made the rows well... Kurê village nobody ever said a mistake about him...
Bavêk min ciwan bî. Ê ev jî di ajot. Heta naha îşev digotin... My dad was young. He used to drive too. Until now tonight they used to say...
Ev jî eynî weke xalê xwe weke wî... ev jî eynî cût e şerabe wan rind di ajot. Giştiyê Şêxorzeyan ajot. He too was the same like his uncle like him... he too the same plow he drove their rows well. He drove for all of Şêxorze.
Gundê Orti digotin Ebdê Xalê... Seydo Xalê. Rehmet lê be, herdu rehmetî bûn. Wan jî şerab rind di ajot. Middle Village they used to say Ebdê Xalê... Seydo Xalê. May mercy be upon them, both were late. They too drove the rows well.
Û Gundê Jori hebû, Henî Alî rehmetlî hebû. Yanî gundek mezinên ku ajotvana de em gişt sifetê wane sifeyên malbatiyan e... axa... milk da ne di çandi... di nav rêze darên zeytûnê cût dikirin. And Upper Village there was, there was the late Henî Alî. I mean a village of elders who the drivers we all their face the faces of the families... land... didn't plant in the property... they plowed among the rows of olive trees.
We ekser tiştî ji nav me pêk dîn. Most things are done by women at home.
Meniştê me pê dikişin. We used to rely on it.
Kulkek me... me hema ra wan dikirin. We had a certain variety... we used to harvest it right away.
Digotin "du kulkan" biçînin. Pir ekseriya tiştan "du kulkan" diçandin. They used to say plant the "Dukulkan" variety. Most people planted the "Dukulkan" variety.
Va "lemiya" naha derketiye. Berê tenê ev hebû. The "Lemi" variety has appeared recently. In the past, there was only this.
Şehî hebû, xumsî hebû, hewîdî hebû, devêra hebû. Ev tiştan gelek hebûn, li Cema. There was Şehî, Xumsî, Hewîdî, and Devêra. These existed a lot in Cema.
Bes va ya "lemiyê", ecêb derketiye. But this "Lemi" variety, it's weirdly productive.
Cûlê wê jî tiştekî sereke xwedê da derê... Its crop also grows beautifully by God's will...
Bes tîrê xwe kêm dikire. But it yields less oil.
Ne wekî vî du kulkanî meya yanî. Ne wek du kulkanê esasî ye. It's not like our Dukulkan variety. It's not like the original Dukulkan.
Niha ev şîveke, ev derece yek e. Now this is a branch, this is first class.
Sorma? Sorma?
Erê sorma. Sormeyê xwe zer dibe wekî mişmişan. Yes, Sorma. Its Sorma becomes yellow like apricots.
Î lemiyê... qerq reş dibin. Ne nacih e, ev xweş e. The Lemi ones... turn black. It's not successful, this one is good.
Î me ekser tişt jî em mûnê xwe rojanî ji vî tiştî dikirin. We also used to make our daily provisions mostly from this.
Dikin galonan, ava wê bi xwe eyyar dikin... They put them in gallons, adjust their water...
Tişt dikin bo tişt dikin sar... U em hiltînin. They do things to cool them... And we store them.
Sala xwe mûnê xwe dixwin. They eat their provisions all year.
Em ê derbasî cem jinên din bibin silavên xwe bidin wan jî... U spasiya te dikin. We will move to the other women and greet them too... And we thank you.
Xwedê ji we razî be, ser sera u ser çavan. God bless you, you are very welcome.

Dayê ez tişkî ji te bipirsim. Mother, let me ask you something.
Ehlen wa sehlen. Welcome.
Em diqesidin... dema tu zarok.. dema dayîka te.. tu zarok, dema... ne tenê mezin jî bûyî. We are talking about... when you were a child... your mother's time... when you were a child, when... not only that, when you grew up too.
Berê we çi kar dikir li vî gundî de? What work did you do in this village in the past?
Hinekî jiyana we çawa derbas dibû? How did your life pass somewhat?
Law ma çi kar ay nay dikir yarim. Rencberî bû. Tam e temam bû noka heyat a... Boy, what didn't we do, my dear. It was hard labor. By the time we grew up, now there's life...
Bêrî bes xwedê dizanibû, zerika zeytûnê... zibil dirjandin binê wan... Noka zehmet pirr kêm bûye... Berê zehmet pirr bû. Only God knew the past, picking olives... pouring fertilizer under them... Now the hardship has decreased... In the past, there was a lot of hardship.
Ey we em diçûn ava bîrê bi lastîkan dikişand. We used to go and draw well water with rubber buckets.
Me diçû perî vê darê... me şax lê dikişand. We used to go around the tree... and pull its branches.
Gup davêt... gup me çêdikirin... We would drop them... we would make bunches...
Şelek me hilda diketin, me serqal jê hildikirin... We took the baskets and went down, we picked the olives...
Şelek me hil dikir... ev li kariyê dikir. We would carry the basket... we used it for work.
Ay weşta, am diçûn ava bîrê, me diçûn paqla diçûn heta jorîn. Ev karo gî hebûn, berê... Oh like this, we used to go for well water, we used to go for broad beans all the way to the upper part. These jobs all existed, in the past...
Ê kengî we şîv û xwarin û tişt çêdikirin? When did you prepare dinner, food, and things?
Şefaqê... Hîn şefaqê... çaxê ku... demê dîk bang dika... em radibûn diçûn xebatê. At dawn... Early at dawn... when... when the rooster crowed... we would get up and go to work.
Me digot hey dew lêda ye û me nan çêdikir. Heta em diçûn xebatê. We would say, hey, make the buttermilk, and we would make bread. Until we went to work.
Le! Dema te digot dewe, dawa tê tijî, dawa ew pirr bû. Hey! When you said buttermilk, there was plenty of buttermilk, it was abundant.
Wê çaxê... wisa heywa tişta me dikirin! At that time... we used to keep animals and such!
Yanî berê pezê we gelek bûn? So in the past, you had a lot of sheep?
E lê... pez, hevtê, heştê pez me hebû. Noka elhemdulillah me hewt heyşta me nîne. Yes... we had seventy, eighty sheep. Now, thank God, we don't have seventy or eighty.
Bereketa berê baştir bû. The abundance of the past was better.
Bereket weke tişt dihat... Noka em nizanin, noka ev der ne ewqas bi bereket e. Abundance was flowing... Now we don't know, now this place isn't as abundant.
Dema we elektrîk tunebû, xet tunebû... When you had no electricity, no phone lines...
Kehrebe şikoti bû... Fîzika gazê em dadikir, em rûdiniştin. Electricity was destroyed/non-existent... We lit the kerosene lamp and sat.
Wê qasê îşq nedida... am heta ku em heşta... ber vê we dî... We re jî dît. It didn't give much light... until we were eighty... we saw it before you. We saw it too.
Dayê ez tiştek ji te pirs kim. Mother, let me ask you something.
Pirs ke. Ask.
Berê jinan li mal kar dikir. Wan jî diçûn karê çolê jî dikir, ne? In the past, women worked at home. They also went and worked in the fields, right?
Çima... Karê çolê jî dikirin... Û ê mal jî dikirin. Heke qîçkê xwe jî şadikirin. Û şîvê xwe jî çêdikirin. Parî xwe jî... Zêtûnê xwe jî. Gîgeh kar gî dikirin. Why... They did the field work too... And they did the housework too. They also fed their children. And they made their dinner. Their share... Their olives too. They did all the work.

They cooked food with grace and gave it for a week... they made something and gave it for a week, meaning they didn't leave the neighbors out.

Wê... ê berê hebû... çêkirin heye... ê nekir nîne... Yes... what was in the past... is there... what they didn't make isn't there...

Me zû da nedîtiye. Vêca hûn hez dikin spasiya we dikim... We haven't seen it for a long time. So if you'd like, I thank you...
Kînekê ji me ra li ser şeîriyê deng ke. Hûn çawa çêdikin, hûn çi dikinê? Talk to us a little about the noodles. How do you make them, what do you do to them?
Şeîriyê, am ardê xwe didêrinin... For noodles, we sift our flour...
Em ava dikinê, xwêyê dikinê, ava germ. U em cêçik zêtê xwe jî dikinê. Em hevîrê xwe distirên. We add water, add salt, warm water. And we also add a little of our oil. We knead our dough.
Yanî berê, bi cemaetê... bi şexsekî nedikir... Deh jin didane hev. I mean in the past, it was with a group... it wasn't done by one person... Ten women would gather.
Dihatin gî li ser wê... ev elikna wî... li ser bêjingê... li ser tepsiyê... tepsiya bîn pê re. Arî ser didan wan... hişk dikirin. They would all come to it... this sifting process... on the sieve... on the tray... they would bring trays for it. They would sprinkle flour on them... they would dry them.
Hişk dikirin ser şalan radixistin. Hişk dikirin, mûnê xwe radikirin. They would dry them, spread them on cloths. They would dry them, store their provisions.
Yanî, havîn ev sale, gava dîsa ya din zivistanê yan dawetek dikira, dîsa kezan.. ew amir. I mean, in the summer this year, when again the next winter or when a wedding took place, again for food.. that matter.
Diçûn şeîriyê wî malî da... tev dawi dawi dikirin. Mûnê wê malî heta sibê... bi dehf û bi dawet û bi lîlî û bi reqas dikirin, wina derbas dikirin, yanî. Ew. They would go make noodles at that house... they would do it with a wedding-like atmosphere. The provisions of that house until morning... they did it with tambourines and weddings and ululations and dancing, they passed the time like that, you know. That's it.
Dayê niha ev şeîriya ku... bi destan xweş e, an wexta makînê tînin? Mother, now these noodles... are they better by hand, or when they bring a machine?
I destan xweş in, î makînê ta yê xwar in, wêkî lastîk in. The handmade ones are good, the machine ones are just for eating, they are like rubber.
Î destan na xwa şînî wan qet naçîn wî. The handmade ones, no, you never lose your appetite for them.
Ji heq derê av wa xweş in me... Her malekê qetek mînak di Remezanê da çêdikir û radikir... To be honest, those are very delicious to us... Every household used to make a batch in Ramadan and store it...
Em diçûn pale, we çaxê ta bi ser heta yekê me xew nedikir. We used to go to the harvest, at that time we didn't sleep until one o'clock.
Yekê şûn da. Me xew kir û... çar em radibûn. After one. We slept and... at four we would get up.
Çara radibûn dîv wî tê kir... şîrê qiloçkan tê kir... wi tê kir, wî tê kir... We got up at four and followed that... milked the livestock... did this, did that...
Diteqiya şeşan, me rê xwe dikir çolê. When it struck six, we headed to the field.
Ka am li ser karê bera we dî binhêrin. Let's take a look at your work from the past.
Çawa hûn dikin? How do you do it?
Nerm bike, nerm bike... Make it soft, make it soft...
Nerm be ew... nerm be, kulek nerm be... It should be soft... it should be soft, let a piece be soft...
Am lî.. am ha wilo çêdikin.. We... we make it like this...
Dayê yanî niha te tişkî dî tu yê çêkî da tu ji wan ra tişkî neyêjî? Mother, so now that you are going to make something else, won't you tell them something?
Noka bûk derketine, min bi xwe tenê çêkiriye, ma bi tenê şeîriyê çêdikim? Now the brides have arrived, I made it all by myself, can I make noodles alone?
Na na ma wan makîneyê tînin, makîneyê çêdikin. No no, they bring a machine, the machine makes it.
Yanî naha makîne kar diqede... So now the machine finishes the work...
A berê hebû. Noka... Noka tunne. Noka bi makîneyan çêdikin yan bi destan çêdikin... Yes, it was in the past. Now... Now it's not. Now they either make it with machines or make it by hand...
Navê vê çi ye kirî? What is the name of this, auntie?
Navê wê re dibêjin çeker anî, ha ev hişk biya. They call this çeker anî, yes this is dried.
Ka min di destê xwe ra mate bî, ka te ev da bidî min. Show it in my hand, give it to me.
Ha bigire... Here take it...
Bi vê rengî ve çêdikî? Ê niha berî ji we çêdikî, lî niha... You make it in this way? Now, before you made it, and now...
Ê berê, berê, niha ku çê nakin, niha ku kî çêdike? Yes, before, before, now they don't make it, now who makes it?
Baş e, ha ev destpêk evana wisa dikirin? Okay, so at the beginning, they did it like this?
Ha wisa dikirin destê xwe, gîh wisa qut dikirin. Yes, like this with their hands, they cut it all like this.
Wekî tiştek dikirin ha wisa. Gîha wisa dikirin, wisa dikirin, hûr dikirin... They did it like something, like this. They did it all like this, like this, they chopped it...
Û ê heyî di qewrînê dikir, qey termizê xwe radikir, ê heyî jî ha wisa radikir. And some fried it in a pan, put it in their thermos, and some kept it like this.
Yanî te çawa av dikir anha qey hişk dikirin, wisa dikirin hûr dikir helînî. I mean, however you watered it, now they like dried it, they did it like this, chopped it and left it.
E te qey ji wara bêjim, ti zanî meqerone jî cem Kurda derketiye ne? Did I tell you, do you know that macaroni was also invented by the Kurds, right?
Na wele min wisa derketiye ez nizanim ha. No, by God, I don't know it came out like that.
E wisa meqerone wisa çênekirin, tu caran na? Bes meqerone tu zanî... Yeah, like this macaroni wasn't made like this, never? But macaroni you know...
Di du dewletan hene, pê nav û deng ne. Yek Çîn e, yek Îtalyayê. There are two states, famous for it. One is China, one is Italy.
Kê derê ev çêdikin meqeronan? Jinên Rojhilatê Kurdistanê. Where do they make these macaronis? Women in Eastern Kurdistan.
Li wir çêdikin, meqeronan jî li Rojhilatê Kurdistanê çêdikin. They make it there, they also make macaronis in Eastern Kurdistan.
Deste we sax bin, sihet we xweş be. Bless your hands, bless your health.
Sax bî, sax bî. Bless you, bless you.
Bîra Şêxor di zêdeyî sed metroyî li bakurê gund e. The Şêxor well is more than a hundred meters north of the village.
Şivan pezê xwe jê av didin û carnan jî gundî di werzê havînê da, ji bo pêdiviyên malê avê jê dibin. Shepherds water their sheep from it and sometimes villagers in the summer season, take water from it for household needs.
Şêniyên gund debara jiyana xwe bi çandiniyê dikin. The residents of the village make their living through farming.
Ji çandin û xizmetkirina zeviyên rez û zeytûnan digel darên fêkiyên cûrbecûr. From planting and maintaining the vineyards and olive fields along with various fruit trees.
Lê ji ber kêmbûna avê li gund, baxçeyên sebzeyan nayên çandin. But due to the lack of water in the village, vegetable gardens are not planted.
Hin malbat jî sewalên xwe xwedî dikin. Some families also raise their livestock.
Û berhemên wan li gundên derdorê difiroşin. And they sell their products in the surrounding villages.
Çend malbat jî, ji bo debara jiyana xwe di gel çandiniyê, mêşên hingiv jî xwedî dikin. A few families, for their livelihood along with farming, also raise honeybees.
Apê Hisên, we jî hema we xwest destpêkê da hinekî berê, çawa dawetê we dibûn? Uncle Hisên, we also just wanted, at the beginning, a little bit in the past, how were your weddings?
Va xwest ji mîjarê me ra bêjin. Wa def û zirne haniye û millet jî kom buye, em spasiya we dikin. We wanted you to tell our audience. You brought the daf and zurna and people have also gathered, we thank you.
Hinekî li ser berê çawa, şahî wa dibûn, dawet wa dibûn? A little bit about how it was in the past, how were your celebrations, how were your weddings?
Dawet, gund da, berî hemî tiştî nan dikirin. Weddings, in the village, before everything they made bread.
Hevta ku ê jinik kom bûn nan bikiranan, bi çepkan, bi kilaman, bi lîlî, bi ser xetiyan. For a week women gathered and baked bread, with clapping, with songs, with ululations, above the line.
Ev daweta ew şûn da, xelat dikirin. After that wedding part, they gave gifts.
Xelat belav dikirin li gund da, li derdora xwe, li cîranên xwe xelat belav dikirin û dawet da hatin. They distributed gifts in the village, around them, to their neighbors, they distributed gifts and came to the wedding.
Cihkî ferhe, yanî def û zirne ê biha. An open space, I mean the daf and zurna would come.
Def û zirne ê bihatana, milet ê kom biba, ê daweta xwe bikirina. The daf and zurna would come, people would gather, they would do their wedding.
Û wî dawetê da, kilam jî distran. Di reqisîn jî, govend jî çêdikirin. And in that wedding, they also sang songs. They danced too, they formed govends too.
Her tişt, ji tiştê kevin, miletê me kurda dikir, dev jê bernedidan. Dikirin. Everything, from old things, our Kurdish nation did, they didn't give it up. They did it.
Piştî wî ê bûk bi anîna. After that they would bring the bride.
Hene hebo? Was there henna?
Ê piştî wî ê hinne bikirana. Yes, after that they would do henna.
Jinên mezin kom bûna, ê hinne bikirina, hene bo. The elder women would gather, they would do henna, there was henna.
Û wekî kutî govend çêdikirin, dilîstin, her tiştek ava dikirin. And as they say they formed govends, played, they did everything like this.
Ji çima, lê ana, berî vê, deh, sê sed sal a, hezar sal a, Kurdan ev tiştana hatî kirin. Because, but now, before this, for ten, three hundred years, a thousand years, Kurds have done these things.
Ê bûk bi anîna. Hesp ê kirinan, hespek nav gundê... They brought the bride. They got a horse, a horse in the village...
Ê yekî seriyê hespê bikşanda, xaset yekî ji dûvê hespê di girt. One would pull the horse's head, especially one would hold the horse's tail.
Ê zêdetir mêrê zava. Mostly the groom's man.
Ê bi anîna, kiçkên çûçik, çend dikirin peş bûkê. And they brought them, little kids, some went behind the bride.

Xêr e, digotin, maneyî, Xwedê lavikî pê de. It's good, they said, meaning, may God give her a boy.
Û hawe bûkê ba hanîna nav gund di gerandin. And like this they brought the bride and walked her around the village.
Destpêkê nav gund ro di gerandin. In the beginning they walked her around the village.
Nav gund ro di gerandin. Wî gundî derdixistin, weraqok, du, pênç, gor wî demî ya, pere, ji bûkê di xwestin. They walked her around the village. That village would bring out, paper, two, five, according to that time's, money, they wanted from the bride.
Ew jî şabaş bû kî? That was a tip for who?
Ew jî di dan, didan bûkê. They also gave that, they gave it to the bride.
Bûkê di xwestin, di gerandin. Ew zava, û du xurt, li ser banekî disekinînan. They wanted the bride, they walked her. That groom, and two young men, they stood on a roof.
Şekir, fistiq, e, be hunen wê şekera û wê fistiqa, çardikirin nav çavê vî bûkê. Candies, pistachios, yes, they brought those candies and those pistachios, and threw them at this bride's face.
Çardikirin na? They threw them, right?
Na çardikirn nav çavê bûkê. Yes, they threw them on the bride's face.
Û sîlah hat ew tifingê we demê çi bise, di avêtin. And guns that time whatever rifles there were, they fired.
Gulek, di dî xwe di avêtin haw we jî, rengî manê ji bo îna ki zanibin ana ha bûkê hot. A bullet, two they fired like this too, of a kind meaning so that they know now the bride has arrived.
Hîngî çi di hebû, yî seriyê hespê girtî, wê ê seriyê hespê girtî, dirive. Then whatever there was, the one who caught the horse's head, that one who caught the horse's head, runs.
Û di avêtinê, bi şimkan, bi daran, av di avêtin, e di revî de çû. And they threw at him, with slippers, with sticks, they threw at him, and he ran away.
E wî demê da zava nediçûyê bûk nedidît? And at that time the groom didn't go, he didn't see the bride?
Ne, zava kî, nediçû bûkê, nedi dî. No, the groom, didn't go to the bride, didn't see her.
Ne wî wekî wa demê nu ka paşiyê. Not like this time now afterwards.
Ew demê jî gundiyê Şêxurzê hemû cana ya abîdan e, ya gundê qestel e, ya bilbil e. Di wî demê de zava ji nediçûyî, bûk nedianî? In those days too the villagers of Şêxurzê everywhere like abîdan, or gundê qestel, or bilbil. At that time the groom didn't go, didn't bring the bride?
E, zava kî, mal ba. Bûk nediçû, ne wekî va demê niha kî pisi ra bi avoka. Yes, the groom, stayed at home. The bride didn't go, not like this time now that behind with...
Miletê gund di çû dianînan de... A year passed, that time the groom... the groom didn't see the bride. Until he didn't see the bride, once, either he'd see her or not.
Miletê gund di çû dianînan de... The people of the village went and brought her...
De, bavik, hemû diçûn dînîn esey, ew bûkê di xwestin de, xilas. Mother, father, they all went to bring her for sure, they asked for that bride, finished.

Apê Hisên te girt şevê şahiyê ne? We dî ne. Uncle Hisên, did you catch the celebration nights? You saw them right.
Ne min nedî, lê ez heta çavdikirin paş bûkê kiçkik diman. No I didn't see them, but until I observed behind the bride little girls stayed.
Wê demê piştî wî anî û, wê şahiyê çawa çêdikirin? Dawetê we da çawa bûn? That time after bringing her, how did they do that celebration? How were your weddings?
Nav, nav, paşî hinde hatin zava, seriyê zava çê dikirinan. Then, then, afterwards they brought the groom, they arranged the groom's head.
Seriyê zava çê dikiran, bi çepko, bi kilamo, bi daro. They arranged the groom's head, with clapping, with songs, with sticks.
Haw zava ê bo wata berbere seriyê wî çêdikir, da derxist gor wa demê, pelek bî, pênç bîn, sê bîn, çi heba dida wî berberî. Like this they brought the groom to the barber he arranged his head, he brought him out according to that time, paper money five, three, whatever there was he gave to that barber.
Di da wî berberî. He gave it to that barber.
Yanî berî wê şahî wek çawa dikir, çawa govendên wa çawa bûn? Çend sîbet da çê dibûn? I mean before that how did they do the celebration, how were their govends? Did they do it until morning?
Ji sibê da, milet du çû karê xwa, piştî wa di hat. From the morning, people went to their jobs, after that they came.
Na, na, na. Sibe da, taştê kirîvê he, çawa her malê di rûdiniştin. Xwande... No, no, no. In the morning, breakfast of the kirîv, whatever every house sat down. Invitees...
Xwedanî malê, xwediyê zavê, kirîvê xwe, dibir mala, yekî yekî. The owner of the house, the owner of the groom, took his kirîv to the house, one by one.
Û ew xwendina ji wê malê derxista ba îna ortî diwanê. Wa ji rûdiniştin. And he'd bring that invitation out of that house to the middle of the diwan. They would sit down.
Ê lê, e bo wî nanê ji dihatin di xwarin, ew jî rûdiniştin. Yes but, they came for that food and ate, they also sat down.
Û mîvanê ji gunda hatine, kî xwedî dikir? And the guests who came from the villages, who hosted them?
Xwedanê mihekem, her malekê, gundek di dev, gundek kî kîsa, dikirin ser wan. A solid host, every house, a village's edge, whichever village's side, they put on them.
Digotin haw ewe, xwediyê malê xizmeta wa mîvana dikir. They said here it is, the owner of the house served those guests.
Û xwandin di da, ew xwendina dikir. Ne mîvan, xwande, dî digotin xwande. And he gave an invitation, he did that invitation. Not guest, invitee, they also called them invitees.
Apê Hisên tu govendê jî zanî, te dît, gellek govendên efrînî berê hebûn, anha ew jî nemane? Uncle Hisên you also know govend, you saw, there were many Afrin govends before, now they don't remain either?
E, niho, e, niho ku, mu... mode ev nav ko, bi rengê kedî me va geriya, çend, vir ro cema hebûn. Yes, now, yes, now that, mu... fashion has come in, it turned into another color for us, a few, around us here we had.
Di reqisîn, ava e, di lîstikin, govend di giritin, hebûn. They danced, like this yes, played, formed govends, they were.
Heta na, ser govendê min navê wa ji em zanin, xwestin navê wa jî ez bêjim. Until now, the head of the govend I know their names too, if you want I will say their names too.
Yek Cemîlê Qender digotin, yek Mihemedê Îmir digotin, yek Mihemedê Hifz digotin, yek Kurê Mihemedê Osman digotin. One they called Cemîlê Qender, one they called Mihemedê Îmir, one they called Mihemedê Hifz, one they called the Son of Mihemedê Osman.
Evna sergovendî, reqasî dikirin, kes nedi kir. These were heads of the govend, they did dancing, nobody else did.
Û heta di dawetê da jî, bûkek jî çêdibin. And even in the wedding, they also made a bride.
Bûkek çêdibin, dardanîn serê wê, dar dikirin. Ard, arî, sîng sîngên derdorê radipêçan û derdiketin. They made a bride, they placed sticks on her head, they brought sticks. Flour, ashes, they wrapped ashes around her chest and went out.
Qaşmer jî hebûn. Qaşmer dînin çêdikirin, qaşmer dînin çêdikirin. There were clowns too. Clowns they would bring and make, clowns they would bring and make.
Arî sîng sîngê govendê... aw... bûkê çêdikirin. They put ashes on their chests in the govend... yeah... they made a bride.
Radibûn hev. Ji wa bûkane gundê me xweya bû. They stood up together. From those brides our village, it was obvious.

Ew gundê, malên gundê urtê, yanî ev pir bû. Yani gelek ser govendî hebûn. Those villages, houses of the middle village, I mean this was a lot. I mean there were many heads of govend.
Ê bûkekî ji hebû, î bûkek ji hebû. There was also a bride, there was also a bride.
Heta ew bûkê şêxuzî, gunda re daçûn, da hatin û derketin. Even that Şêxurzê bride, they went to villages, they came and went out.
Bivîsa şêxuzî, dawetê bûka, daçûm ro dî ra ji. Like Şêxurzê, wedding brides, I went and saw it there too.
Yanî govendên berê wiha hebûn. I mean old govends were like this.
Gund, da em bibêjin dawetek li gund çêdibû yan na? Village, let's say, was there a wedding in the village or not?
Bûkê me jê diçûn war, heta êdî reqasê jê diçûn war. Our brides used to go to the summer pastures, even dancers used to go.

Heta ê wekî ku te gotî stranbêjê me jê diçûn war, êdî wa jê dihatin cem me. Even like you said, our singers also used to go, and they also came to us.
Wê paşê êdî di oxira dawetê da şabaş dikirin. Then at the wedding they would give tips (şabaş).
Şabaşî, digot şabaş. Giving tips, they'd say 'şabaş'.
Şabaş gotinek bi Kurdî ye. 'Şabaş' is a Kurdish word.
Şabaş, "Esselamu Eleykum". Şabaş, gotinê bi Kurdî ye. "Esselamu Eleykum". 'Şabaş', "Peace be upon you". 'Şabaş' is a Kurdish word. "Peace be upon you".
Dihatin şabaş dikirin her kesî wekî dilê xwe çi ba şabaşî didan heqê xelatê dixhwandin. They came and gave tips, everyone gave whatever they wanted, they called out the tip and the prize.
