Apê min... di destpêkê de... Uncle... in the beginning...
Ev cara sêyem e em derbasî gundên Meydanê dibin. This is the third time we are visiting the villages of Meydan.
Carekî em hatin Gawanda. Carekê em çûn Sêmala. Once we came to Gawanda. Once we went to Semala.
Naha jî em derbasî gundê Dûdê bûn, wisa ne? And now we have entered the village of Dude, right?
Ser seran hatin. Ser çavan hatin. Ehlen û sehlen. You have come upon my head. You have come upon my eyes. Welcome.
Wê spas. Çawa ye, tu baş î? Thank you. How are you, are you doing well?
Spas dikim, we jî. I thank you, you too.
Em ê bixwazin em gundê Dûdê jî nas bikin. We would like to get to know the village of Dude as well.
Em dixwazin di destpêkê de nas bikin, navê gundê we ji kû hatiye? At the beginning we want to know, where did the name of your village come from?
Navê gundê me, em eslê wê dema ku gund nişîn dibin... The name of our village, originally when the village was being settled...
Xelk derbasî rojhilatê vê hatine. The people passed towards the east of this place.
Paşê da, ev gund nişîn dibe... Gund... di qontarê palekî de bû... Afterwards, this village became settled... The village... it was at the foothills of a hill...
Dikeve nav newala gundê Ecer. It falls into the valley of the village of Ecer.
Cihê vî gundî, gellek fireh bû. The place of this village was very spacious.
Gundekî wek meselê muxtarek hebû. Muxtarî Kerîm bû. A village for example had a mukhtar. It was Mukhtar Kerim.
Camêr bû û cih belaş bû. He was a brave man and the place was free.
Xerîb û xulmet digirtin. Digotin em herin vî gundî cih bigirin. They took in strangers and servants. People said, let's go to this village and settle down.
Li vir va dihatin, ji geliyê Meydanê ve dihatin. Here they came, they came from the valley of Meydan.
Digotin ev kîjan gund e? Gundî meselê... gundî camêr... They said, which village is this? For example... the brave man's village...
Ku ev mirov û eşya li gundî digirtin. When people and belongings were accommodated in the village.
Gotin gundî Dûdê. They called it the village of Dude.
Hîn jî Dûdê bû, an çi wextê gotin... çawa gava ew hatin. Was it already Dude, or when did they say it... when they arrived.
Mesele çawa ber bi sînor tiştan ne bû? How did things move towards the border?
Çawa ber sînorên tinebû... em gî yek sînor di nav de tune bûn. How the borders didn't exist... we were all one, there were no borders between us.
Em niha nêzîkî heşt kîlometran dûrî sînor in e. Right now we are about eight kilometers away from the border.
Ha wisa... hûn ji vir da hatin. Pirs kirin... gotin ev gund çi gund e? Ah like that... you came from here. They asked... they said what village is this?
Gundê Ecer bi nav e. Gotin gund yek e, na, ê duduya. It's named the village of Ecer. They said is it the first village, no, the second one.
Yanî navê gundê we, ji hejmara didu hatiye? Yê diduyan hatiye? Meaning the name of your village comes from the number two? It came from the second one?
Ê duduya hatiye. It came from the second one.
Paşê bû Dûdê. Then it became Dude.
Çi mane ye "Dûdê"? What is the meaning of "Dude"?
Welleh îşta, wek mîrat çi bûye. Well, as a habit it's become like an inheritance.
Belê, dema Osmanî derbasî Sûriyê bû, ew rejîma Be's de derbas bû. Yes, when the Ottomans crossed into Syria, when the Ba'ath regime took over.
Navên gundên me bi hatin guhertin, yanî Tirkan gorî xwe nav kir û rejîma Be's gorî xwe... The names of our villages were changed, I mean the Turks named it their way, and the Ba'ath regime their way...
Di wê demê de nav hatin guhertin? Were the names changed at that time?
Na î me nav nehatin guhertin. No, ours did not have its name changed.
Her ji duduya, bû Dûdê. From duduya (second), it became Dude.
Erê, ji duduya bû Dûdê. Yes, from duduya (second), it became Dude.
Bû Dûdê. It became Dude.
Ê gundê we... bi giştî malbat in. Te qet kîjan malbatên dî... And your village... in general they are families. Have you any other families...
Gundê me, serî de, malbatek bû. Our village, at the beginning, was one family.
Malbata, digotin Mela Mehemedê Dado. The family, they called them Mela Mehemedê Dado.
Ewana çar bira bûn, piştî wî bûn çar malbat... Her birayek meselê paşê xerîb jî hatin... They were four brothers, after that they became four families... Each brother for instance, later strangers also came...
Dema ku ew çar malbat bûn gund e. Di derve hatin pênc malbat, bûn pênc şeş malbat hatin tev me bûn û pirr bûn. When those four families made up the village. Five families came from outside, they became five or six families coming to join us and grew a lot.
Yanî pêşî de ew malbatek bûn... piştî we malbat belav bûn. Meaning at first they were one family... after that the family expanded.
Erê... ji wê malbatê gîş bûn çar. Û ew çar malbat jî paşê xelk ji derve hatin ser wê malbatê. Yes... from that family all of them became four. And those four families too, later people from outside came upon that family.
Serkêşê wê malbatê... digotin Mela Mehemedê Dado. The head of that family... they called him Mela Mehemedê Dado.
Û ew malbat din jî navê wane kîjan in? And the other families, what are their names?
Pêşî de, siftehî malbata qedîm... Malbata Mela Mehemedê Dado ye. At the beginning, the oldest initial family... The Mela Mehemedê Dado family.
Ewana çar bira bûn... mezinê wan jî, Mehemedê Dado. They were four brothers... and their elder, Mehemedê Dado.
Malbat qesim bû, bûn çar bira. Her malbatek... navek lê nanin. The family divided, they became four brothers. Every family... put a name on it.
Yek... malbata, digotin Çûçeleran. One... family, they called them the Chuçeleran.
Yek malbata, dibên Teraşleran. One family, they call the Terashleran.
Yek dibên malbata Mehlero. One they call the Mehlero family.
Paşê nav, li dervê hatin. Malbatên din hatin tev me bûn. Then names, they came from outside. Other families came and joined us.
Malbatek hat digotin Mela Bêrîqudê. A family came called Mela Bêrîqudê.
Malbatek hat, çaxê hatin... gotin kîjan gund e, hatin tiştekî wisa nedîtin. A family came, when they came... they asked which village it is, they came and didn't see anything like it.
Li rojhilatê da hatin, pirs kirin... gotin we li gundê Dûdê bi vê derê be. They came from the east, they asked... they were told it's the village of Dude over here.
Mala Hecî Mehemed wê da demin... Mala Heci Mehemed settled there...
Hatin û tev me bûn. Li rojavayê da hatin, Mala Bêrîqudê digotinê, hatin tev me bûn. They came and joined us. They came from the west, they were called Mala Bêrîqudê, they came and joined us.
Paşê digotin Mala Hesûlero... maleke bi navê Hesûlero. Then they said Mala Hesûlero... a family named Hesûlero.
Li Gawandayê re hatin, malbatek tev me bûn. They came through Gawanda, a family joined us.
Paşê... gotin malbatên din... yanî çar pênc malbat wina pênc şeş hatin tev me bûn, û gund mezin bûye. Then... they said other families... meaning four or five families like that, five or six came and joined us, and the village became big.
Apê min... li herêma Meydanê ta niha heft gund hene? My uncle... are there currently seven villages in the region of Meydan?
Erê. Yes.
Ê kîjan gund, berî kîjan avabûye te zanî ta niha? And which village was established before which? Have you known this so far?
Welleh ez nizanim, yek wîkî çawa em dizanin, tarîxek bi me tune. Well I don't know, one thing we know is that, we don't have a history log.
Xwendina me tune. Tarîx cem me tune ye. We don't have literacy. We don't have history records.
Rihmetliyê Xaşû, tarîxek wek xeber didan, karek digotin Xaşû. The late Xasho, he used to tell a bit of history, a guy called Xasho.
Digotin wê wextek bê... Tirk wê xwe bi qeşmerî çil dewletî be. He used to say a time will come... The Turks will make a fool out of forty countries.
Yanî Tirkan qasî wî wekî... nav û dengê wan di ceng da derketibû. I mean the Turks, just like he said... their fame had spread throughout the battle.
Digot Tirko ku wekî rûvî be... wê wek qeşmerê çil dewletî be. He said a Turk is like a fox... he will be making a fool out of forty countries.
Min ev tarîx, ev xeber li wan guhdar dikir. I would listen to this history, these words from them.
Digotin wê şer li rojhilat ve rabe... wê xwîn wek avê be... They used to say a war will arise from the east... blood will flow like water...
Çi kuştin, çi tişt û hemî dinê werin guhertin. Such killings, such things and everything in the world will be changed.
Belê... paşê digotin tecahilî wê were... Yes... then they said ignorance would come...
Tecahilî ew... em dizanin Rûs û ew tişt e... ev dê gî tiştî ku niha sirrin an na? That ignorance... we know it's Russia and those things... are all these things a secret now or not?
Jixwe dema Rûs di nav me de bûn... ez çawa tiştan tarîx wilo ji wan hîn bûme. After all, when the Russians were among us... that's how I learned history things like this from them.
Lê min wek emrê xwe me eyan kir ku xwendin tune... ev e tiştên em zanin. But as for my age, I have established that there is no literacy... this is what we know.
Ne... rojhilatê gund, Gawanda ye. Rojava we gund çi ye? No... east of the village is Gawanda. What village is west of yours?
Gundo Welîkliya ye. It is the village of Welikliya.
Welîkliya ye? Is it Welikliya?
Erê, Welîkliya ye. Yes, it is Welikliya.
Di Meydanan de ev gund bi ser hev in? In Meydan, are these villages adjacent to each other?
Erê, erê. Siftehî Gawanda. Paşê Dûdê, paşê Welîkliya, paşê Qurrê, paşê Tepe Qirê... Yes, yes. First Gawanda. Then Dude, then Welikliya, then Qurre, then Tepe Qire...
Paşê gundê Miskêta, paşê Sêmala. Hemî li ser xetê ne. Then the village of Misketa, then Semala. They are all on the border line.
Sêmala. Naxwe gundê we jî nêzîkî sînor e. Ev sînorê... ser xetê û bin xetê... we meriv li wir hene? Semala. Therefore your village is also close to the border. This border... on the border and below the border... do you have relatives there?
Gî merivê me ne. Niha dêya min gî li ser sînorê wan a... They are all our relatives. Right now my mother is from across their border...
Li kîjan gundî ye? In which village is it?
Gundê wan deran, dibêjinê Dîlo... Menteqeya Qedere. The village around there, they call it Dilo... The region of Qedere.
Dêya min ji wê derê ye. Bavê min wextê ku eskertî... de çawîş bû. Cendirme bû. My mother is from there. My father, during his military service... was a sergeant. He was a gendarme.
Wextê... Osmanî. During the time... of the Ottomans.
Esker bû... Wexta ku pêşiya me çûye ji xwe re aniye. He was a soldier... Back in our early days he went and brought her for himself.
Ev gund e hemî... merivê hev in? All of this village... they are all relatives?
Na, wextê sînor ketin navberê da, gelo ji gundê we... an yekî li vir man, yek li wî alî ma? Well, when the border was put between them, did anyone from your village... or some stay here, and some stay on that side?
Ê li vir bûn, li vir man. Yê li wê derê, li wê derê man. Û pirr mal hebûn... The ones who were here, stayed here. The ones who were there, stayed there. And there were many families...
Çend malbat ji gundê me ji vir çûn û li wê derê bûn... A few families from our village went from here and were over there...
Dema ku sînor kete navbera... her kes ma li ciyê xwe. When the border fell between us... everyone stayed in their own place.
Apê min... wekî di nava gundê we de... gundiyan derketiye? Uncle... as in your village... have the villagers left?
Welleh pirranî derketiye. Naxwe pirranî derketine. Well, the majority has left. Of course the majority has left.
Hîn ji zeman ve... pêncî sal berî wê, şêst sal berî wê... deh sal berî wê... Even from a long time ago... fifty years ago, sixty years ago... ten years ago...
Bîst sal... pirranî milet derketiye ji gund. Twenty years... most of the people have left the village.
Ê ku de berê xwe dane... ber bi kû ve? And those who headed out... where to?
Berê xwe gellek ji wan dane Ewropayê... çûne dewletê Xerîb. Ber bi Ewropayê çûne. Many of them headed towards Europe... they went to Western states. They went towards Europe.
Nîvê millet di çar aliyê cîhanê de ne. Half of the people are in the four corners of the world.
Yanî niha piranî maye li ku? Li Swîsreyê ne? Meaning right now where are the most of them staying? Are they in Switzerland?
Li Swîsre in. They are in Switzerland.
Û ê din? And the others?
Milletê din jî niha hemî... lawê min tenê, pêncî şexs ji wî gundî ser pêncî di heman demê re tabî... wekî wê bêtir, bes li Swîsreyê ne. All the other people right now... my son alone, fifty people from this village, over fifty, of course... even more than that, are just in Switzerland.
Ji ser pêncî si sal dî re... Bas li Almanyayê ne, li Holendayê ne, û li Tirkiyê jî yanî... Over fifty, thirty more years... They are just in Germany, in the Netherlands, and in Turkey too, meaning...
Li her welatekî ku têda çûne... malbat tiştên xwe çêkirine. In every country they went into... families built their own things.
Kes ji gundiyên we... li Reco ne an li Efrînê, tine ne? Does anyone from your villagers... live in Rajo or in Afrin, are there none?
Qet tinne ne. Li Efrînê hesab e qet, li Reco nîne. There are none at all. Counting in Afrin not at all, in Rajo there are none.
Li Helebê bi hesin e... Li bajarê Şêre waha... Meydan Ekbez! In Aleppo it's solid... In the city of Sherawa over there... Midan Akbis!
Meydan Ekbez pirr in... ekserî Meydan Ekbez nîvîsê xelkî gundê me ne. Midan Akbis has a lot... mostly Midan Akbis, half of the people of our village are there.
Belê Meydan Ekbez... ji hemî Meydanan pirtir hene? Yes Midan Akbis... does it have more from all of Meydan?
Erê... pir gundî me nin... paşê gundê Xelîl Pîrko, Qûse, Meydana gîşt... bas li gundê me pirrtir in. Yes... a lot of our villagers... then the village of Xelil Pirko, Quse, all of Meydan... but there are more in our village.
Na, wek gundê we, bi tevahî çend mal in? Pêncî mal hene? Now, as your village, how many houses are there in total? Are there fifty houses?
Welleh na ev bû pêncî. Berî wê bîst neh bûn, sî bûn, niha bû pêncî. Pêncî mal in. Well right now it's become fifty. Before it was twenty-nine, it was thirty, now it's fifty. They are fifty houses.
Lê eger tu hesabê wanî derketî bikî... ew sê sed mal, çar sed mal gişt derketin, xaliye. But if you calculate the ones who left... those three hundred houses, four hundred houses all left, it's empty.
Ew tenê yên niha hene pêncî ne. Those right now are only fifty.
Ê wek gundê we... debara xwe bi çi dikir? And your village... how did it make a living?
Welle debara me... reze, zeytûne, kiraze û yanî heywan in. Pez, tişt in... Well our livelihood... is vineyards, olives, cherries, and well, animals. Sheep, things like that...
Her kes debara xwe pê dikin. Everyone makes their living from it.
Ê gundê we de kanî heye? Does your village have a spring?
Kanî? Kanî tinne, anku avên esasî wek çem tinne. A spring? There is no spring, meaning main water sources like a river are non-existent.
Lê kaniyek heye li wê derê, li başûrê rojavayê gund, kaniyek mezin heye, yê ku Fransiyan çêkiribû. But there is a spring over there, in the southwest of the village, there is a big spring, the one that the French built.
Bîst metre kûrbûna wê ye û deh metre firehbûna wê heye. It has twenty meters of depth and it has ten meters of width.
Û li wê derê jî, pêşiya gundî bi wî aliyê rê ve... dîwarek heye. And also over there, in front of the village on that side of the road... there is a wall.
Berê jê re digotin bajarekî ku meşa... sêsed gav dûr e. Back in the day they called it a city that you walk... three hundred steps away.
Gundê ku li ser gir e... bîrek kevn li serê çiyê ye. Cihên qedîm e. The village that is on the hill... an old well is on top of the mountain. It's an ancient place.
Carekî em çûyîn e... Once we went...
Erê. Yes.
Cihê qedîm e. It's an ancient place.
Efrînê navê wê çi bû feda? A sor a navê wê çi bû lê? Ka ew navê wê ne... mirîşkên Xantût di urfê de heye. What was the name of the one from Afrin, feda? What was the name of the red one? Well, those are its names... Xantut chickens exist in the tradition.
Gelek spas, mala te ava be. Thank you very much, bless your house.
Mala we jî ava be, ser seran ser çavan. Bless your house too, you are very welcome.
Gundê Meydanê ya Raco, kantona Efrînê, 8 kîlometreyan li bakurê navçeya Raco, 53 kîlometreyan li bakurê bajarê Efrînê dikeve. The village of Meydan in Raco, Afrin canton, is located 8 kilometers north of the Raco district, and 53 kilometers north of the city of Afrin.
Gundê Meydanan ji heft gundan pêk tê. Gawenda, Welîkliya, Gazê, Kurê, Miskê, Sêmala û Dudê. Meydanan consists of seven villages. Gawenda, Welikliya, Gaze, Kure, Miske, Semala, and Dude.
Gundê Dudê li deşta golê ya Meydanan dikeve. Dude village is located in the Gole plain of Meydanan.
Navê gund ji wateya dudo yan ku du hatiye. The name of the village comes from the meaning of "dudo," which means two.
Ji ber ku ew gund ji her du aliyan, rojhilat û rojava ve, gundê duyemîn e ji nav gundên Meydana. Because the village is the second village among the Meydanan villages from both the east and the west.
Malbata Mihemedê Dudê weke yekemîn malbat li gund rûniştîbûye. The family of Mihemedê Dudê was the first family to settle in the village.

Dengê Kurdistanê. The Voice of Kurdistan.
Kurdistan ban dikî. Kurdistan calls out.
Li çar aliyan va ban dikî... Dibê Kurdo rabe ji xewê. It calls out from all four sides... It says, Kurd, wake up from your sleep.
Çar parçe Kurdistan e. Bi birîn e. Di bin destê dijmin da bi nalîn e. Kurdistan is four parts. It's wounded. It's moaning under the enemy's hands.
Hezar û pêncsed sal in, xwîna sor li ser Kurdistanê diherike. For one thousand five hundred years, red blood has been flowing over Kurdistan.
Kurda... kî ye were Kurdistanê li destê dijmin xelas ke. Kurds... who will come and save Kurdistan from the enemy's hands.
Haya kînga Kurdistanê, wê xudanê xwe nas ke? Until when will Kurdistan recognize its owner?
Hîv û.. rojên xweş li Kurdistanê hilhat, Kurdistan ban dikî. Moon and.. good days rose in Kurdistan, Kurdistan calls out.
Alem tev da... Bi nav... heft qat, bi sîlehên dijminan hevdû kuştin. The whole world... all... seven layers, killed each other with the enemies' weapons.
Kela û bajaran xirab kirin, çarşî û ziqaq bi xwînê şuştin. They destroyed citadels and cities, they washed the markets and alleys with blood.
Hezar qesr û mizgeft.. dêr û xan xirab kirin. Heq, hiqûqê... miletê Kurd li nav şe'bana wenda kirin. They destroyed a thousand palaces and mosques.. churches and inns. They lost the right and law of... the Kurdish nation among the peoples.
Kurda, dîsa Kurdistan li çar aliyan ve ban dikî. Kurds, Kurdistan calls out again from all four sides.
Dibê Kurdo rabe li xwe e... Kî ye were... ji destê dijmin min xelas ke. It says, Kurd, wake up.. Who will come... save me from the enemy's hand.
Gol û herêmên min.. asê bûn serkeftin, hudûdê... dewletan xirab bûn. My lakes and regions.. became difficult and victorious, the borders of... states were destroyed.
Hudûdê Sykes-Picot û li Cenevre... dijminan, Îngilîz Kurdistan parçe kirin, îlxan kirin. The Sykes-Picot border and in Geneva... the enemies, the British partitioned Kurdistan, they eliminated it.
Kurdistanê delal... ji nav dijmin bi derket.. The beloved Kurdistan... emerged from among the enemy..
Li ser çar... parçeyê... Kurdistanê, îşq û nûr vekir... Over the four... parts of... Kurdistan, love and light shone...
Kurdino rabin ser xwe, çar parçeyê Kurdistanê bi hevgihînin. Kurds, rise up, unite the four parts of Kurdistan.
Dijminan û neyaran, li ser erdê Kurdistanê, biqewtînin. Kick out the enemies and foes, from the land of Kurdistan.
Xwîna dijminan, neyaran, ser Kurdistanê... biherikînin. Make the blood of enemies, of foes flow over Kurdistan...
Bi xwînê hudûdê Kurdistanê, li şerq û xerbê dînin. With blood, set the borders of Kurdistan, in the east and the west.
Bi luxeta xwe yî Kurdî, bi luxeta dê û bavan, tarîxa Kurdistanê dînin. With your Kurdish language, with the language of mothers and fathers, establish the history of Kurdistan.
Alaya rengîn, li ser çiyayên.. di..zanan... dînin. Place the colorful flag, on the mountains of.. the knowledgeable...
Millet şerq û xerb bi çavê serê xwe bibînin. Let the nation see the east and west with their own eyes.
Millet heta bi heta... bi îbret kin... Milet bi xwa... bibînin. Let the nation make an example forever... Let the nation see it themselves.
Kurdan rabûn ser xwê... Kurdistan ban dikê. Kurds rose up... Kurdistan is calling.
Li çar parçe Kurdistanê, tedareka te dikî. In the four parts of Kurdistan, they are preparing for you.
Dar û ber, kevir û kuçkê Kurdistanê ban dikî dibê kurdo were. The trees and stones, rocks and pebbles of Kurdistan call out, saying Kurd, come.
Xwîna sor... li ser Kurdistanê, li çar aliyan de herikî. Red blood... flowed over Kurdistan, on all four sides.
Kurdo bi xwînê bi alim e, bi xwendinê Kurdistanê xelas ke. Kurd, learn with blood, save Kurdistan with reading (education).
Xêr û xêrata Kurdistanê.. ji destê dijmin derxe. Take the goodness and blessings of Kurdistan.. out of the enemy's hands.
Ne bese hezar û pêncsed sal in, em xizmetkar in? Isn't it enough that for one thousand five hundred years, we are servants?
Ne bese hazar pêncsed sal dijmin sermiyanê... serwetê.. Kurdan xwarin? Isn't it enough that for one thousand five hundred years the enemy ate the wealth... the resources.. of the Kurds?
Ey milletê Kurd... ko em nebin yek.. dijmin.. mezin e. Oh Kurdish nation... if we do not unite.. the enemy.. is big.
Li ser vê erdê.. kesek wek war nîne dîtine. On this earth.. no one has seen a place like ours.
Heyfa we Kurdan.. hezar sal in, ji kêlem û ecem û tirkan re, dimirin. It is a pity for you Kurds.. for a thousand years, dying for the neighbors, Persians, and Turks.
Di xwîna xwe rijandin, ez çi bikim... gunehkar kirin. Shedding their own blood, what can I do... they made us sinners.
Te gelek dirêj nivîsandiye... wa ye sipas.. gelek dirêj te nivîsandiye. You have written it very long... here, thanks.. you have written it very long.
Erê.. pir e jê.. Û înşeallah jî... Kurd... e bi meydanê keve, wê heqîqeta wê.. Yes.. there's a lot of it.. And hopefully too... the Kurd... will enter the arena, its truth will..
Wê ya kamil bibe. Wê.. dibê.. It will become complete. He.. says..
"Leyse arun... en yebîtu", ewa gotina... Yûsif el Ezma... "Leyse arun... en yebîtu", that is the saying of... Yusuf al-Azma...
Kî..? gava çû.. wexta birin ber hebsa Romê.. bankir, ew yên çavê min vakin, destê min jî, yên zincîr kirine... Who..? when he went.. when they took him to the Rome prison.. he called out, open those eyes of mine, and my hands, which are chained...
Nav lê nan el-recul el-mecnûn. Birin ber.. qayfe hebsa Romê ji bo yariya.. They named him "the crazy man". They took him in front of.. the gate of the Rome prison for mockery..
Got bes ew çavê min vakin.. Çav vekirin.. destê xwe jî.. vekir.. ban.. hebsekir.. He said just open my eyes.. They opened his eyes.. he also opened his hands.. called.. imprisoned..
Got; "Ya zelamê secnî, xeyyemû înnenî nehwê zelema". He said; "Oh darkness of the prison, set up tents, for I am moving towards the darkness".
Şînda sê... zindanan, hebsa birîn min we ra.. ser min, çadir bi aze, berte tîn. Behind three... dungeons, they cut a prison for me for you.. over me, a tent in the open, they bring to you.
Got, "Leyse 'arun en yebîtu, fîl cîbelî, înnemêl aru, en yebîta ebid e" ... He said, "It is not a shame to sleep in the mountains, but the shame is to sleep as a slave"...
Got ne ar e... însanê... cîbê... rabe.. çîya.. mehkûm şketa be. He said it's not a shame... for a person... to wake up.. in the mountains.. condemned in caves.
Got, ar e.. însan.. umr di bin destî dijmin de, bikule, qeyt derbas ke. He said, it is a shame.. for a person.. to suffer their whole life under the enemy's hand, to pass the time bound in chains.
Got "ya ranîne qeydû ziyidnî nexmetan teşcî fuadî"... He said "Oh the clanking of the chains, increase me in a melody that encourages my heart"...
Got ya zincîrî... dest û lingê min î... bişkestin.. dilê min de.. milê xwe.. bi hesibim... ev a.. çi pa girtî. He said oh chains... breaking my hands and legs... in my heart.. my shoulder.. I consider... this.. what holds my feet.

Her wiha, sê şehîd ji gund hene. Şehîd Demhat, Şehîd Xwînrej û Şehîd Ronahî. Additionally, there are three martyrs from the village. Martyr Demhat, Martyr Xwînrej, and Martyr Ronahi.
Komîna gund bi navê Şehîd Demhat hatiye binavkirin. The village commune has been named after Martyr Demhat.
Hisên Nasir ango Kêl Heso di serweriya Fransizan de, sê mîlîsên Fransî bi dêtê de kuştin. Huseyin Nasir, also known as Kel Heso, during the French mandate, killed three French militiamen.
Piştre leşkerên Fransî hatin gund û bi firokeyan topbaran kirin. Afterwards, French soldiers came to the village and bombarded it with airplanes.
Ev di derdora sala 1937'an de bû. This was around the year 1937.
Rêjeya xwendinê di gund de baş e. Lewra zêdetirî pêncî kesî bawernameyên zanîngehê di beşên curbicur de stendin. The literacy rate in the village is good. Therefore, more than fifty people have obtained university degrees in various departments.
Û gelek kesan jî xwendina amadeyî qedandine. And many people have also completed high school education.
Hêjayî têbîniyê ye ku her gundên meyî damm bûne, weke yek gund tê naskirin. It is worth noting that all our combined villages are known as one village.
Ango weke bajarokekî mezin û nûjen li ser deşteke fireh ava bûye. That is, it has been built like a large and modern town on a wide plain.
Û dê di pêşerojê de bibe bajarokekî pêşketî. And in the future, it will become an advanced town.

Belê naha jî, em ji gundê Dûdê derketin. Me xwest em derbasî cihên avê lê hebin bibin. Yes, now too, we have left the village of Dude. We wanted to move on to places where there is water.
Me qesd kirin... gotin, bîrek li vir heye. Em hatin... Fatme jî bi me re derbas bû. Metê merhaba ji te re. We intended to... they said, there is a well here. We came... Fatma also came with us. Auntie, hello to you.

Nîvê şevê û... Manê.. ta tarî... In the middle of the night and... I mean.. until dark...
Wekî din hûn çawa dihatin? How else did you use to come?
Em dihatin... Me kinc dişûştin, me serê xwe dişûştin qurban. We used to come... We used to wash clothes, we used to wash our heads (hair), dear.
Av tine bû... There was no water...
Metê tu çend salan tu hatî vêrê? Auntie, how many years did you come here?

Reşîdê Ehmed ê. Reşîdê Ehmed.
Ereb Bavê Seyfedîn. Ereb Bavê Seyfedîn.
Sarinc, apê Reşîd, ti tiştekî li ser sarincê... Cistern, uncle Reşîd, you something about the cistern...
Apê Reşîd nîha, çend sarinc hebin li vir a? Uncle Reşîd now, how many cisterns might be here?
Sarinc, belkî ser pênciya ra ye, di vê derê berê bajêr bû, bajarê Şeqîf wê ra digotin. Cisterns, maybe there are over fifty, here it was a city before, they used to call it Şeqîf city.
Belê carekê rojekê em hatin Mehdiyê, eva Bajarê Şeqîf digotin. Yes once one day we came to Mehdiyê, they used to call this Şeqîf City.
Zemanê me, kurmancên me û berê tim ji vî derî xizex xwe hez dikirin. Xwestin tim di siyê da bin, wek kûsan. In our time, our Kurds, before they always liked secluded places from this place. They wanted to always be in the shade, like turtles.
Î noko jî... î noko na na. Î noko ku dixwazin bi hevdû ra rûyê hevdu bin. Xaniyê xwe çê dikin. But those of now... no no. Those of now want to be face to face with each other. They build their houses.
Vê maneyê da dixwazin li hember rûyê bin. In this sense they want to be facing each other.
Û hawna jî belkî pêncî bîr zêdetir li vê mentiqê ye. And these maybe there are more than fifty wells in this area.
Berê bajarê Şeqîf digotin. Heta nîha edbetên xwemazin li vir in... In the past they called it Şeqîf city. Until now its great ruins are here...
Banê Cewşê heye, şikestî da ye. There is Banê Cewşê, in the ruins.
Cihê xwe li wir da ye, herezê xwe jî li ser piştekî ban bilind bû. Its place is there, its watchman was also on a high roof's back.
Wê çaxê nedîbû, bûq lê dixistin. At that time it wasn't seen, they used to blow the horn.
Her herezek, tilîyek li vir e, yek li vir e, yek li vir e... yek li vir e... Every watchman, one finger is here, one is here, one is here... one is here...
Hawa tilî, seft a Banê Cewşê digotin. Î dido jî... Like fingers, they called it the row of Banê Cewşê. The second one too...
Uli hîn, î sêyê Karzin. And the others, the third is Karzin.
Î çara Keleha cem gewenda. The fourth is the Castle near the Gewenda.
Î pêncê, be'îve, xofî gundî dido. The fifth is Be'îve, Xofî village of two.
Û hewîrmana jî ev mihafeze dikin. Me'nî kesek taq çilo, î zingikê lê nake. And these protect its surroundings. Meaning no one can attack them, cannot ring the bell.
Me'nî em xwe rûk bi vê... me'nî herba xwe di nav da xweşêr in. Meaning we face this... meaning their war inside is hidden.
Û î din, î şeşê, Banî Birkê heye, xofî kûsava... And the other, the sixth, there is Banî Birkê, Xofî Kûsava...
Li vî derê qaîdeyi wana li Sûrê hebî, Sûrê vê ra dibî. Sûrê vî ra hebî. Here their rule was in the Wall, they called it its Wall. It had a Wall.
Yanî bûn heft. Ev bûq lê dixistin. Vî telefon vî dikir, vî ban vî dikir, vî ban vî dikir, vî ban vî dikir. Meaning they became seven. These blew the horn. This one called that one, this one called that one, this one called that one.
Îşaret didan havdû. Hîs digehaştin havdû. They gave signals to each other. The news reached each other.
Heta ku ê vê derê dişandin Lêçê, digehaşt Axdapê. Li wir jî cihê xwe hebûn. Until the one here sent it to Lêçê, it reached Axdapê. They had their places there too.
Li vê derê, rûyê dide piştê. Wextê êvarê jî diftilî, dîsa rûyê dide piştê. Here, it turns its face back. When evening came it turned, again it turns its face back.
Wê çaxê meşên gende dûbil bû. Him vir va diçû rûyê dide piştê, him vî va dihat rûyê dide piştê. At that time their paths were double. Both going this way it turns its face back, coming this way it turns its face back.
Rû caran nadîbû. Vê maneyê da meşê xwe dûbil bû, di meş da birin. The face was never seen. In this sense their path was double, they transported in walking.
Ev dîrokek kevn e ev a. This is an old history.
Ha va kevn e. Bi hezar sal e, ev. Ev dibe... goya... îşta romada dibin. Yes this is old. It's a thousand years, this. This is... like... as they say, from the Romans.
Yanî ku gelek kanî tine ne, tenê hema bîr in. Meaning that there aren't many springs, they are just wells.
Erê bîr in. Pêş û paş ew Banî Cewşê, bi seda bîr hene. Yes they are wells. Before and behind that Banî Cewşê, there are hundreds of wells.
Heta haliyen nîha, noko, bi seda bîr hene, vê derê jî qeder bajêr bûn. Even currently now, now, there are hundreds of wells, this place was also somewhat a city.
Em ê vegerin cem dayê. Dayê, ka... çi berê çi dihat bîra te? Dema te dît te hatî te hatî vê avê... nîha jî tu hatiye... Çi tê bîra te? We will return to mother. Mother, let's... what did you remember from before? When you saw, you came, you came to this water... now you've come too... What comes to your mind?
Tu kî ve da hatiyîne? Where have you come from?
Hevalên me gund bûn, cîran bûn, em dehatin, em dehatin avê, me kinc li vê derê dişuştin, li vir. Our friends were villages, were neighbors, we used to come, we used to come to the water, we used to wash clothes here, here.
Erê, me radixistin, hişk dibûn, me bar dikirin, me hîn av jî bi xwe re dibrin, em diçûn. Av tine bû. Yes, we used to lay them out, they would dry, we used to load them, we used to take water with us too, we would go. There was no water.
Yanî her dema wek av wek gere bûyîn dihatin vêr dibirin? Meaning whenever water was like a necessity, you used to come here and take it?
Lê! Her pêncşem. Em kîba dihatin na. Her pêncşem. Yes! Every Thursday. We and whoever came. Every Thursday.
Pêncşem e? Is it Thursday?
Pêncşem em dihatin avê, avê vexwarinê ew her ro dibir. Thursday we used to come to the water, the drinking water they used to take every day.
Çarnicû avî xelas dibî, me dibrin. The water cisterns would finish, we used to take it.
Vê demê te digote me av xwa dibir, we avê bi çi dibir? At that time you were saying we took our water, what did you take the water with?
Te digot li wê hevalên te... You were saying there your friends...
Li wê hevalên me, îşta jin bûn, em pir bûn em dehatin. A kî bim kî bim... Lê. There our friends, like that were women, we were many we used to come. Whoever I could be... Yes.
Xweş in ha hevalên te? Are your friends well?
Xweş, î heyî miriye, î heye xweş e îşta. Well, there are those who died, there are those who are well, like that.
Rehma xudê li miriyên we ke, ê dijîn jî... May God have mercy on your dead ones, and those who live...
Berf barî sê çar mehanga me habîn. It snowed, we had it for three four months.
Berf barî ko xelas dibî, em kî diçûn avê da na. The snow snowed until it was finished, we would go for water.
Me rabî, berf li qabê ye, ez û kulfetê xwe bim, We got up, the snow is at the ankles, it was me and my family,
Me her yekî telîsek dest xwe ra kir, em çûn pûzê xarabê lê, qerf tu zane? We each took a sack in our hand, we went to the corner of the ruins, do you know frost?
Me telîsên xwe jê têje kir, me li pişta xwe da û em hatin. We filled our sacks from it, we put it on our backs and we came.
Me da dewarê xwe. We gave it to our animals.
Ê wî demê de berf pir dibarî li vir ha? So at that time, it snowed a lot here?
Lê, dibarî lê... Ha hawna diket... dibarî. Yes, it used to snow, yes... Ha like this it fell... it used to snow.
Nîha berf jî tine. Now there is no snow either.
Noko berf jî tine... qet tine. Now there is no snow either... none at all.
Ê rojên berê xweş bû lê nîhako? Were the days of the past good, or now?
Î da em wa dibîn, canê noko ji wa dibin, em dibîn berê rind bûn. Those then we were like that, the souls of now are also like that, we say the past was good.
Ew qocafên me dîtî me digot rind bûn dîsa. Those old folks we saw, we said they were good again.
Ema berê kareba jê tinebû ba kî... Jiyana berê xweştir bû yanî. Lê... But in the past there was no electricity or anything... The life of the past was better, meaning. Yes...
Yanî berê... noko ciwan dibêjin noko xweş e, em dibêjin berê xweş e. Lê. Meaning the past... now the youth say now is good, we say the past is good. Yes.
Dibêjin her zemanekî padşahê xwe heye. They say every time has its own king.
Erê. Her zemanekî paşakî xwe heye. Erê. Yes. Every time has its own king. Yes.
