Em ketin nîçê kaniyê, kevirek dîtin. We entered inside the spring, found a stone.
Kevirek jî dirêj e. Tûlî xwe teqrîben nîv metro, bi bîst sentîma pehnbûna xwe heye. A stone that is long. Its length is approximately half a meter, with twenty centimeters of width.
Yazin li ser heye. Me jê fam nekin. Bîlatîn yazmîş kirine. There is writing on it. We didn't understand it. They had written in Latin.

Ehlen we sehlen, xêr hatin. Welcome, you are welcome.
Temaşevanên hêja, em derbasî ziyaretek bûn, li vir jî darên miraza heye. Dear viewers, we have moved on to a shrine, here there are also wishing trees.
Serokê meclîsê li vir e, Mamoste Enwer. The head of the council is here, Teacher Enwer.
Merhaba. Hello.
Merhaba ser çava, ehlen we sehlen. Hello, upon my eyes (you are welcome), welcome.
Sax bin. Mamoste, tu kanî ji me ra dîroka vê ziyaretê bêjî? Be healthy. Teacher, can you tell us the history of this shrine?
Vê dîrokê, dîroka bi xwe, dîrokek pir kevnar e heva. This history, the history itself, this is a very ancient history.
Heva destpêkê jiber milletê me j'guz Êzîdî bûn, Zerdeştî bûn. This, in the beginning, because our people were formerly Yazidis, were Zoroastrians.
Vêra, bi vê mekanî ra dibê, vê meqamî ra dibêjin: Here, they call this place, they call this station:
Xizir, Xizir Îlyas. Khidr, Khidr Elias.
Heva jî, wek her yekî rast, ewliyakî Zerdeştiya hebû, digotin Xizir. This too, like every true one, was a saint of the Zoroastrians, they called him Khidr.
Xizir, Xizirbalî. Khidr, Khidrbali.
Xizir heva tiştekî herî baş di dîroka Êzîdiya da, yanî pêxemberê wan digotin Xizir. Khidr, he was a very good thing in Yazidi history, meaning they called their prophet Khidr.
Her yek dixwazt, geh eger du'a ke li zarokê xwe bike, yan mûsîbetek li ser wan Êzîdiya herê, digotin: Everyone wanted, if they were to pray for their child, or if a calamity befell those Yazidis, they would say:
"Xizir li te wari rehmê," yan "Xizir, ez te hewaleyî destî Xizir dikim." "May Khidr have mercy on you," or "Khidr, I entrust you to the hand of Khidr."
Jiber Xizir însanekî baş bû, di dîroka Êzîdiya da. Because Khidr was a good person in Yazidi history.
Û dibêjin heva wek meqamekî wî pêxemberî yan Êzîdiya bû. And they say this was like a station of that prophet or of the Yazidis.
Ji dîrokek kevn da hatî li vê mantiqê rûniştî. Coming from an ancient history, situated in this area.
Însanekî baş bû, û dibêjin tirba xwe jî li vir hatiye veşartin, bes li vê mantiqê yanî hatiye veşartin. He was a good person, and they say his grave is also buried here, specifically buried in this area.
Bes ne diyar e, texmîn kirin vê tiştî yanî em noka xuyaye, li vir e. But it is not visible, they estimated this thing, meaning as it appears to us now, it is here.
Û heva jî şev bi şev, heta noka agir bi şev tê mesele vê xistin... And this, night after night, until now, fire at night comes, for example, striking this...
Kî vêdixe? Bi şev, bi şev. Who lights it? At night, at night.
Em heyana nizanin kî vêdixe. We still don't know who lights it.
Yanî her şev agir li vir vêdikeve? Meaning every night fire ignites here?
Her şev agir li vir vêdikeve, û qey xuyadike anha me neha mesele xuyadike, agir li vê vêdikeve. Every night fire ignites here, and it appears just like now, for example it appears, fire ignites on this.
Û tê ji vê darê jî, kanê ewê girêdide, tiştekî girêdide bi vê darê, mirazê xwe jê dixwaze. And one comes to this tree too, to where they tie, they tie something to this tree, asking for their wish from it.
Ew jinik zarokê xwe nebûbun, dixwazin werin li vê ziyaretê mesele tişkî xwe girêdin. Those women who didn't have children, they want to come to this shrine, for example, to tie something of theirs.
Li ber Xizir bigerin, Xizir mesele te zarokekî me dê, fîlan zarokê xwe tinnebin. To plead before Khidr, "Khidr, for example, give us a child," so-and-so who doesn't have children.
Yek mûsîbetek hatî ser gundekê, tê li viderê tişkî agir vêdide bi vê darê va, dibêjin: If a calamity has befallen a village, one comes here and lights a fire by this tree, saying:
"Xizir, vê mûsîbetê ser me rake." "Khidr, lift this calamity from us."
Heva dîrokek teb'en kevin a Kurda ye, a Zerdeştiya ye. This is, of course, an ancient history of the Kurds, of the Zoroastrians.
Gundî me berê da fîlan baranek nehat, baran mesele nebarî... Our village in the past, if a rain didn't come, for example if rain didn't rain...
Baran lê nebû, mehal çêbû, li gund digerrîn, diçûn berx dikirrîn. There was no rain, a drought occurred, they would go around the village, go buy lambs.
Jin û mêr û kal û pîr dihatin viderê, li vir şerjêdikirin, xwarnê xwe çêdikirin. Men and women and elders would come here, they would slaughter here, make their food.
Li ber Xizir digerrîn, li ber Xwedê digerrîn. They would plead before Khidr, they would plead before God.
Digotin: "Xizir yan Xwedê ji me ra vê baranê bibarîne jiber vê mehlê, vê tiştî gî li ser me çêbûye, rabe." They would say: "Khidr or God, make this rain rain for us because of this drought, may this whole thing that has happened to us, be lifted."
Û xêr û bereket bibare li ser vê mantiqê me. And may goodness and blessing rain upon this region of ours.
Mamosta, te got kesê zarokê xwe nabin... ev kes hatin li vira? Li ber Xwedê digerrîn, ew kes ji gundî we bûn? Teacher, you said people who don't have children... did these people come here? Pleading before God, were those people from your village?
Hatibûn vira, zarokê xwe çêbûn? Had they come here, did they have children?
Bûn. Kal û pîrê me dibên, dibên pir kesa hatin ber vê ziyaretê. They did. Our elders say, they say many people came before this shrine.
Li ber Xizir gerrîn, yan li ber Xwedê gerrîn. Pleaded before Khidr, or pleaded before God.
Çûn, ba'dî fetrokê zarokê xwe bûn. They left, after a period their children were born.
Û wê nexweşiyê vêra çêbûye, wê nexweşiyê ji ev bû, xelas bûn. And that illness that had occurred there, that illness was from that, they were cured.
Ji gundî we ne lê, ji Efrînê ne? Hemû ji gundî we ne? Are they not from your village, but from Afrin? Are they all from your village?
Ji gundî me jî hene û ji derdorê Efrîn jî hene. There are some from our village and there are some from around Afrin too.
No, te behsa çiya ne, li ba we li vir heye? Now, you mentioned the mountains, do you have that here near you?
Te behsa tiştekî din jî dikir. You were mentioning something else too.
Li viderê ji me wêda çiyakî, çiyak heye. Over here, beyond us, there is a mountain, a mountain.
Heva çiyakî wextikê 'asê bû. This was a mountain that was rugged at one time.
Gavê talan dihatin mantiqê Efrîn... When raids used to come to the Afrin region...
Taybetmendîk milletê me heye, ge êrişek were ser vê mantiqê me, direvin çiya. Our people have a characteristic, if an attack comes upon this region of ours, they flee to the mountains.
Ji deştê direvin çiya, xwe di çiya da diparêzin. They flee from the plain to the mountain, they protect themselves in the mountain.
Mantiqok heye ji me wêda, vêra dibêjin Çelmêre. There is an area beyond us, they call it "Çelmêre" (Forty Men).
Li vir Çel... No, tiştekî kîlometrekî heye. Here Çel... No, it's about a kilometer away.
Vêra dibêjin Çelmêre. Vê Çelmêra... They call this place Çelmêre. This Çelmêre...
Bi xwe çel siwar bûn, çel peya bûn. Itself, there were forty horsemen, forty footmen.
Fîhal êrişek bihata, vê mantiqê dihatin di vê mantiqê da xwe vedişartin. In case an attack came, to this region, they would come and hide themselves in this region.
Nav lê kirin Çiyayê Çelmêre. They named it Mount Çelmêre.
Yanî vê çiyayê çel mêr têda, çel mêr, çel bika, êd qehreman êd Kurd, Êzîdî, dihatin xwe di mantiqê da vedişartin, jiber êrişit ge dihatin ser mantiqê me. Meaning this mountain had forty men in it, forty men, forty braves, heroes of the Kurds, Yazidis, would come and hide themselves in the region, because of the attacks that used to come upon our region.

Me muhafeze dikin, pîr û kalê me pê kar dikirin. We preserve them, our ancestors used to work with them.
Yanî ma... turasê me nika cîlê ecara tê nizanin ev çi ye. Meaning... our heritage, now the new generation doesn't know what this is.
Ma ê zanibin koka xwe, werin bibînin ma çi ye, çawa kar dikirin, ezabî berê çûbû, ê noka çûye. So they know their roots, come see what it is, how they worked, the suffering of the past, compared to now.
Wek noka kincê min e, yê kevin e. Noka vî kincî... Like now my clothes, they are old. Now these clothes...
Rastî heta cilê te, evê Efrînê yê kevin, yê... Truly even your clothes, these are old Afrin ones, the...
Ee tişta... ez xwe dikim, ma ê zanibin kincê berê çûbûn, ê kevin e. Yes things... I wear them, so they know what clothes were like before, it's old.
Noka ê ecara başqe ye, ê kevin başqe ye. Now the new ones are different, the old ones are different.
Noka em xwe dikin, dibêjin ev çi ye, maney çi, hun xwe dikin. Now we wear them, they say what is this, what does it mean, you are wearing.
Yanî cîlê ecara nizanin ma çi ye. Meaning the new generation doesn't know what it is.
Na ev çiqas tişt li ba te heye? Ev tiştên kevin. Now how many items do you have? These old things.
Ê welleh tişt pir e teqrîben ser du sedî... yanî qitey hûrhane, mezin heye, tişt pir e. Oh well there are many things, approximately over two hundred... meaning small pieces, there are big ones, there are many things.
Te ev tişta ji ku danî? Te ji ku anî ev tişta? Where did you put these things? Where did you bring these things from?
Welleh vî tiştan me ji gund anî, cem ehbaba, di gundên dûr hene, didin me. Well we brought these things from the village, from friends, in distant villages, they give to us.
Ji merra hedîye tînin, mesela dibînin hewes heye tînin ji merra. They bring us gifts, for example they see there is passion, they bring for us.
Dibêjin ma winda nebe, dibêjin muhafeze bike cem xwe. They say so it doesn't get lost, they say preserve it with you.

Yê heye jê dixwazim nade, dibê tê bifroşî, da bikî xeyrî... Em na, em nafiroşin, bi peraa na. There are those I ask and they don't give, saying will you sell it, to make profit... Us no, we don't sell, not for money.
Havo turasê me ye, winda nebe. Welleh geda mehyonekî pera bikî, em jê nafiroşin vî tiştî. This is our heritage, so it doesn't get lost. By God, if they give millions of money, we won't sell this thing.
Emî kom dikin winda nebe. We collect so it doesn't get lost.
Na canam, merrov... na tu aciz nabî, tu dibînî ray... millet hemû tiştê xwerra yê kevin ji bîr kiriye yanî. Now dear, one... now you don't get upset, you see... the people have forgotten all their old things.

Êşta em naxwazin winda be. Havo millet bîr dike, bes em tînin bîrê. Yes we don't want it to be lost. This people forget, but we remind them.
Ehbab noka... kî tê, ehlen we sehlen, em tînin pêşê dikin, bila sehkin maney çi ye avo. Friends now... whoever comes, welcome, we bring and show, let them see what this means.
Yanî yêkî dibê qopî me diji gor vekirî ye. Kî ku were sehke, lê sêrke, adî ye. Meaning someone says we are dying out. Whoever comes to look, let them look, it's normal.
Maney... cîlê ecara zanibin avo çi ye mesela. Meaning... let the new generation know what this is for example.
O wara me bir Efrîn me kir me'rez, da ma ê xelk bibîne, na ma ê tiştî. And look we took it to Afrin, we did an exhibition, so the people see, now this thing.
Ma ê zanibin avo çi ye. Aş kuta yotî, şkuta yotî, berê çi kar pê dikirin. Ez giya zannim. So they know what this is. The tools, the items, what work they did with it before. I know it all.
Tu bi tenê jî, oda girtî ye ji text. You live alone too, the room is made of wood.
Ee welleh text, tişta avo jî kevin dide yanî. Yes well wood, this thing gives an old feel too.
Text berê textî bî, ka axî bî, mesela kevir bî. Wood before was wood, or it was earth, for example stone.
Me got em axî bikin, bes şikê pê çêkî hebî, ê textî qoleyî bî merra derket. We said let's make it earth, but there was difficulty making it, the wood came out easier for us.

Tu çend sal in li vî tiştî kom dikî? How many years have you been collecting these things?
Ê welleh teqrîben sê sal in. Oh well approximately three years.
Sê sal in, ne zêde ye? Three years, isn't it much?
Ne zêde, na. Bes berê, biçûk bûn meraqa min ser hebû yanî. Not much, no. But before, when I was small I had a passion for it.
Bavkî min digot time havo biçûk bû, diket hindiro... na cî... havo dewar derxistim, zengila, dilîstim, zincîra... My father used to say always when I was small, I went inside... no place... here I brought out cattle, bells, I played, chains...
Berê da meraqa min ser heye. De hişta... meraqa merra ser çibe merra wê bike. Since before I have a passion for it. So now... whatever our passion is for, we will do it.

Dergê lanxera malşewitî xopan, rûniştin meclîsa te zalimî. The door of the cursed ruined burnt house, sitting in your cruel assembly.
Esmet înonû, Fewzî Çeqmaqo, bikemil va. Ismet Inonu, Fevzi Cakmak, complete this.
Deftera reş kirin, navê me tê de tunîne, mera fermanê Kurmanca, lo jmara hate. They blackened the notebook, our name is not in it, the decree against the Kurds has come to us.
Lo şibo yekê bi şing û derbasbûyî... Like one who passed with bayonets...
Ne mekteb e, ne xelat e, ne îdan û ne erfad e. It is neither school, nor reward, nor execution, nor custom.
Ne bi şan û ne bi şûret e, ne bi def û ne bi dawet e. Neither with glory nor with fame, neither with drums nor with wedding.
Heyanî xwedêkê kem defê singê, nadin pişta dû li yû nanêş dilê me. Until a god... hits the chest, they don't give backing... and our heart does not hurt.
Dena keve va şar û jana, lo va şewat e. ... this pain and sorrow, oh this burning.
Lo biro... Oh brother...
Xwedêkê, balûzênê xopê da, warê sitara... Oh God, in the ruined Baluzene, the place of shelter...
Li be alemê dûr keladiyar, be kira xopan. In the distant world... the ruined land.
Ez bi qurbanê xwedêkê, bi sûret da tê da balê xopê da, çi bedena. I am a sacrifice to God, with the image... inside the ruined wing, what a body.
Şan xera, malşewitî xopan, dû li yû nana bi derkevitina. Ruined glory, burnt house, smoke and bread coming out.
Xwedêkê, balê xopê de, çav şînî rû kosin ay. Oh God, in the ruined wing, blue eyes, beardless face.
Davê xaftilandina ser Kurdistana xopan. The trap was set over ruined Kurdistan.
Wan nolcan xwe digu belkim. Those youths were saying maybe.
Agirê zor be ketî zor carda, mêr tê tina nay. A great fire fell... men are not coming.
Qesçik nabin xwedêkê, ajdira tofan tê da hene, homan, homan, homan, homan. They don't become small, oh God, there is a storm dragon in it, help, help, help, help.
Lo biro, qeweta me ne... Oh brother, our strength is not...
De were mino Şêx Zadê, gul bavê Elî Riza, wêca qê ha ro dinyayê tew ya bawiyo. Come, oh son of the Sheikh, rose, father of Ali Riza, woe to this world, oh father.
Xwedêkê Hemîdê Kurdistanê, xo parakir darê dilfirê, dida merga ne kusa û dereca. By God, Hamid of Kurdistan defended himself at the tree of sorrow, in the meadows, hills, and slopes.
Digo kekê sêr kim ca çi pêşene ay. He said, "Brother, let me look, see what is happening ahead."
Wilcem Xatûn digo belkîm quweta min ê têre, tina bê dijminê min. Wilcem Khatun said, "Perhaps my reinforcements are coming, let there be no enemy of mine."
Erzê va nêzîk min, bala xwe dayê Xwedêkê kinc û kiswetê eskerê di bana hene ay. The land near me, by God, look, the clothes and uniforms of the soldiers are visible on the plains.
Di hafê wan ra balafir û teyare, di fê wan ra top û zirx... Above them are airplanes and aircraft, before them are cannons and armor...
...xelfê eqlê wa medfecî û dabe, bi kêlekê wan ra ketine. ...confusing their minds, artillerymen and tanks have fallen to their flanks.
Yûzbaşî û qumandar û teymen e, aman aman aman aman e. Captains, commanders, and lieutenants, oh mercy, mercy, mercy.
Guhaz bi qurban, rabin serxwe, lo dijminê men e. Guhaz, I sacrifice myself for you, stand up, oh, it is my enemy.
