De were Gul Mihemed mîrê baran(?), serê sibê zal berê berbange. Come then, Gul Mohammed, prince of rain(?), early in the morning at dawn.
Xet û mektûbek yazmîş dike ji bo nefsinê. He writes a letter and a note for the soul.
Dide destê Nes'î Ehmedê galgaz(?), bilo Ehmed zû tê bike û bilezîne. He gives it to Nes'î Ehmed the swift(?), saying Ahmed, deliver it quickly and hurry.

Şev e nav çavî, şev e di qelbî ne, ro ye şev e di qelbî ne. It is night in the eyes, night in the heart, day and night in the heart.
Nefşo ra rizî ke, bextê dûr e... May the soul rot(?), the fortune is distant...
Nes'î Ehmed berê xwe dide çewlîka deşta Sirûcê ye. Nes'î Ehmed heads towards the farm of the Suruç plain.
Bighîje qîza Omer Axa, vê xanimê, mektûbê digihîne. Reaching the daughter of Omer Agha, this lady, he delivers the letter.

Temaşevanên ezîz, demên we xweş bin. Ev dîmenê me bi hev re temaşe kirine. Dear viewers, have a good time. These scenes that we watched together.
Ev dîmenê we dîtine, ev dîmenê gundê Başemrê ne. These scenes you saw, these are scenes of the village of Bashemreh.
Gundê Başemrê jî dikeve ser çiyayê Leylûn, li navçeya Şêrawa. The village of Bashemreh is located on Mount Leylun, in the Sherawa district.
Gund jî dikeve navbera Efrînê û Helebê de, dikeve ser sînor. The village is also located between Afrin and Aleppo, situated on the border.
Ji destpêka şoreşê de, gelek caran çeteyên artêşa Tirk êrîşî vî gundî kirin. Since the beginning of the revolution, the gangs of the Turkish army have attacked this village many times.
Lê miletê vî gundî berxwe da û dev ji axa xwe, welatê xwe, gundê xwe bernedan. But the people of this village resisted and did not give up their land, their country, or their village.
Em bi hev re derbasî gundê Başemrê bibin, em bi hev re nas bikin. Let's enter the village of Bashemreh together, let's get to know it together.
Merheba ji we re. Hello to you.

Wele em xwere kak çêdikin îro. Well, we are making kak for ourselves today.
Vê demê kakê çi ye, kakê nan? What kind of kak is this now, bread kak?
Em vanan re dibêjin kakê tenûrê. We call these tandoor kak.
Kakê tenûrê? Tandoor kak?
Na, dayê, başqe ji vî kakan, hûn tiştekî din çêdikin? Yes.
Na, dayê, başqe ji vî kakan, hûn tiştekî din çêdikin? No, mother, apart from these kaks, do you make anything else?
Em çêdikin, em nanê tenik çêdikin, em kumban çêdikin. We make things, we make thin bread, we make kumb (stuffed pastry).
Em tiştî çêdikin yanî, em dizanin, em disitirên. We make things, meaning, we know how, we knead.
Em tenûrê dadigirin, em bi pîs qul dikin, bi pîs, em pê dadigirin, em dikin. We fill the tandoor, we prepare it with dung cakes, with dung cakes, we fill it with that, we do it.
Ew sar dibe em pê ve didin. When it cools down, we slap [the dough] onto it.
Û em dihevirînin, saetekê lê sebir dikin. And we knead the dough, we wait for it for an hour.
Em tînin tenûra xwe dadigirin, em kakê xwe dikin. We bring [it], fill our tandoor, and make our kak.
Hine, gat be, cem me hisar e, ya tiştek nebe, em kakan dikin nan tune be. Sometimes, if it happens, if we are under siege, or if there is nothing, we make kak if there is no bread.
Em kakan dikin. We make kak.
Yanî hûn piraniya vî kakan çêdikin? So you make these kaks often?
Em çêdikin, erê. Her malek tenûreka xwe heye, çêdike. We make them, yes. Every house has its own tandoor, they make them.
Na, di navçeya Şêrawa de, yek gundê pir kakan çêdike kî der e? No, in the Sherawa district, which is the one village that makes a lot of kak?
Gundê Başemrê. Bashemreh village.
Gundê Başemrê? Bashemreh village?
Erê, di berê da, kal û pîrê me da, ji bavê da, me kak çêdikirin. Yes, in the past, from our ancestors, from our fathers, we used to make kak.
Li vî gundî kak hebûn, li van gundên agah tune bûn. There were kaks in this village, in those other villages there weren't any.
Bes li vî gundî, yanî dîroka xwe hebu, çêdikirin. Only in this village, meaning it had its history, they used to make them.
Û xususî mêvan ji gundê xerîb da hatin, me anî vana kak anîn, çêdikirin, dixwarin, vêra. And especially when guests came from strange villages, we brought these, brought kaks, made them, ate them, together.
Yanî xweş in, tama wî xweş e? So they are good, its taste is good?
Erê. Yes.
Tevî penêr. With cheese.
E bûrîm yekê derbas be yekê bide min? If I pass by, will you give me one?
Me çêkirine, me kiriye û me bi penêr dixwarin, penêr tenûrê ve sor dikirin. We made them, we did it and we ate them with cheese, roasting the cheese in the tandoor.
Bi çayê, xweş dibin. Bi çayê, tehmeke xweş didê, taştê. With tea, they become good. With tea, it gives a good taste, for breakfast.
Yanî ji bo taştê ye, ne? So it's for breakfast, right?
Wextê wa germa xweş in. Gava sar dibin... While warm they are good. When they get cold...
E me taştê nexwariye, em û hevalê xwe ve... Well, we haven't eaten breakfast, me and my friend...

Helaw sehlen, ji Kurdistanê re, ji Serok re, bijî Serokê me re. Welcome, for Kurdistan, for the Leader, long live our Leader.
Dayê na hûn çi dikin? Ka hinekî behsa hinekî kakan bikin. Mother, so what do you put in it? Talk a little bit about the kak.
Na tenê em zanin hevîr e. De ardê, di nav hevîr de gelek tişt tê de heye. Now we only know it's dough. But the flour, inside the dough there are many things.
Em çêdikin heval. No.
Em çêdikin heval. We make it, friend.
We nav çi xistiye nav? What did you put inside?
Min... rûn, şemra, kuncî ne, xwê ye. I... oil, fennel, sesame, salt.
Me xemîr anî. Guna berê de, xemîr ji hevîr çêdibû. We brought yeast. In the old days, yeast was made from dough.
Guna berê, me xemîr ji cîranê xwest. Cîran, yanî me çû cem cîranê xwe tanî. In the old days, we asked for yeast from the neighbor. Neighbors, meaning we went to our neighbor and brought it.
Tirş dibû, me pê disitra, pê dixemirî. It would get sour, we kneaded with it, it fermented with it.
Min cem cîranê xwe tanî, wî yê cem min dibir. I brought it from my neighbor, they took mine.
Vê gavê na, zirfî çêbûne, dinê hedîs bûne. Now, no, envelopes [instant yeast] are made, the world has become modern.
Xemîrê firengî, zirfê xwe hene, hereket pênc e. Em dikinê û em dika şekir dikinê. Foreign yeast, they have their envelopes, movement is five(?). We put it in and we put a bit of sugar in it.
Îja şekir? Then sugar?
Yê nexweşiya şekir pê re hebe çawa ye? Yes.
Yê nexweşiya şekir pê re hebe çawa ye? What about those who have diabetes?
Yê ku nexweşiya şekir pê re heye, xwoy dike. The one who has diabetes, uses salt.
Xweştir nabe rûn? Isn't it better with oil?
Na wele. No, honestly.
Xweştir bi rûn tîne? Is it better brought with oil?
Belê wele, xweştir bi rûn tîne. Yes honestly, it's better with oil.
Belê bi rûn tê kifşkirin xweştir e. Yes, it is known that with oil it is better.
Îja şekir vê re heye, xwey dike. If there is sugar with it, one uses salt [instead].
Îja şekir vê re heye, tiştê şirîn na xwa, xwey dike şûna şekir. If there is sugar with it, if one doesn't eat sweet things, they use salt instead of sugar.
Û em disitrin, avê germ dikin, pê disitrên, seet... seetke, seet nîveke, dixemire. And we knead, we heat water, knead with it, an hour... an hour, an hour and a half, it ferments.
Paşê em tînin tenûra xwe vêdixin. Then we bring [it], light our tandoor.
Na, hûn nanê tenikî nakin, nanê sêlê? Now, don't you make thin bread, sêl (griddle) bread?
Erê, em nanê sêlê jî dikin. Ser sêlê, em textik tînin, û tîrik heye. Yes, we make sêl bread too. On the sêl, we bring a small board, and there is a rolling pin.
Û em dikin, û ser sêlê rind dibe wele, nanê tenik tewrî xweş e. And we do it, and on the sêl it becomes good really, thin bread is the best.
Yanî haya na, ev nanê bajar ro nabe, wî nakirin? So until now, this city bread doesn't happen, you don't buy it?
Belê, em dikirin, gava tune be, em xwar dikin. Û gava hebe, em nakin, em dikirin. Yes, we buy it, when there isn't [homemade], we eat [store- bought]. And when there is [homemade], we don't do [buy], we buy [ingredients to make].
Erê. Sêl heye, textik heye, tîrik heye. Yes. There is a sêl, there is a board, there is a rolling pin.
Erê ew nanê te dî pir xweş e. Yes, that bread of yours you saw is very good.
Pir xweş e. Very good.
Belkî gelek stran hene li ser vî nanî gotine. Perhaps there are many songs sung about this bread.
Xweş dibe wele, erê, nanê tenik. It becomes good really, yes, thin bread.
Vê re dibêjin nanê tenik. They call this thin bread.
Ê re dibêjin nanê tenik. They call it thin bread.
Na Efrîn dibêjin nanê tenik, nanê sêlê. Cizîrê dibêjin nanê tenûrê(?). Now Afrin calls it thin bread, sêl bread. Jazira calls it tandoor bread(?).
Gundê a dibêjin nanê sêlê. Herfîn dibêjin nanê tenik. Erê. The village calls it sêl bread. Afrin calls it thin bread. Yes.
Rast e jî? Is that right?
Ew nanê tedî li miletê me yê Cizîrê, ew jî dibêjin nanê tenûrê. Ewan kî qalind e. That bread of yours, among our people of Jazira, they also call it tandoor bread. Theirs is a bit thick.
Wanî qalind e, erê, rast e. Î tenûrê wane, erê. Like that, it's thick, yes, true. That's their tandoor one, yes.
Ez şewitîm, we dî nan ber agir, hûn jî şewitîn? I got burned, seeing bread before the fire, did you get burned too?
Erê wele, em şewitîn. Yes really, we got burned.
Germ e wele, destê me ra dişewite, heta me ra lêdike. It's hot really, our hands burn until we slap it [the dough] on.
Na piraniya, em bêjin behsa hinekî adet û teqalîd, urf û adetê we bikin. Now mostly, let's talk a bit about your customs and traditions, your norms and customs.
Dema cejn tê, mesela em bêjin roja înê da, yan di şahiyan da, yan miriyan da, hûn çi çêdikin piraniya? When a holiday comes, for example let's say on Friday, or in celebrations, or funerals, what do you mostly make?
Yanî piraniya em bêjin behsa şahînekê bikin. I mean mostly let's talk about a celebration.
Em şîva dikin, em goşt dikin, em girarê dikin, em rizê dikin, em tirşikan dikin. We make dinners, we make meat, we make bulgur, we make rice, we make stews.

Hûn çi çêdikin şîraniyê? What sweets do you make?
Em tişt, ji helwê, em şilikê çêdikin. We [make] things, from halva, we make şilik (crepes with syrup).
Na, tiştê şîraniyê gunda. Têdî gelek, yanî di gunda da tiştên şîranî... Now, the village sweets. You know, many, I mean in the villages sweet things...
Destpêkê şîraniyê ji gunda çêbû, piştre bajarî çêkir. Originally sweets were made in villages, afterwards city people made them.
Na hûn çi çêdikin? Na em bêjin şelek e, ev zengilok in, van tiştan? Now what do you make? Now let's say 'şelek', these 'zengilok' (fritters), these things?
Şelek e û zengilok e, em wextê ku... ge pale xelas be, em şilka çêdikin. It's 'şelek' and 'zengilok', when we... when the harvest is finished, we make şilik.
Tenê pale? Only harvest?
E palê, dinya germ e... Eh harvest, the world is hot...
Germ e hûn şilka çêdikin? It's hot and you make şilik?
Wextê xelasêkî ra em çêdikin, şîva didin palê, didin alemê. Em jê re şilka çêdikin. At the time of finishing we make it, we give dinner to the harvesters, give to the people. We make şilik for them.

Gundê Başemrê girêdayî navçeya Şêrawa ya herêma Efrînê ye. The village of Bashemre is connected to the Sherawa district of the Afrin region.
Li ser çiyayê Lîlûnê hatiye avakirin. It is built on Mount Lelun.
Ev gund dikeve sînorê bajarê Efrîn û Helebê. This village is located on the border between the cities of Afrin and Aleppo.
Gelek gund di navçeya Şêrawa bi wateya 'Bê' hatine binavkirin. Many villages in the Sherawa district have been named with the prefix 'Be' (meaning 'house of' or 'with').
Ji ber ku korîdora ku ji ba, ji behra sipî hatiye, ji ber vê gelek gund bi vî navî hatine binavkirin. Because it is a corridor coming from the wind, from the Mediterranean Sea, many villages have been named this way.
Gundê Başemrê ji du eşîran pêk tê. Ew jî eşîreyên Şerqiyan û Omeriyan e. The village of Bashemre consists of two tribes. They are the Sherqiyan and Omeriyan tribes.
Belê em derbasî gundê Başemrê bûn. Yes, we have entered the village of Bashemre.
Em derbasî malekî bûn e. We have entered a house.
Û em sipasiya miletê gund dikin, miletê gund jî hemûyê derdora me. And we thank the people of the village, and all the village people around us.
Niha jî emê hinekî dîroka gund nas bikin ji mamoste Walîd. Now we will learn a bit about the village's history from Teacher Walid.
Merheba mamoste. Hello, teacher.
Ahlan wa sehlan. Bi xêr hatin. Ser seran û ser çavan. Welcome. You are very welcome. Upon my head and eyes.
Sax bî. Em hinekî dîroka gund dixwazin nas bikin. Be healthy. We want to learn a bit about the village's history.
Em sipasiya te dikin, em sipasiya miletê gund dikin. We thank you, we thank the people of the village.
Niha hinekî navê gund... destpêkê navê gund em bipirsin. Navê Başemrê ji ku hatiye? Now, about the village name... first let's ask about the name of the village. Where does the name Bashemre come from?
Navê Başemrê, wena ne feqet gibe ji behrê dikeve vena... The name Bashemre, well, not only because it lies towards the sea here...
Ciyê me rawer deraz be, bayê xwe yê xweş e, bayê xwe yê hewa... Our place is high up, its wind is pleasant, its wind is airy...
Ne cihê me bilind e. Nav lê kirin Başemrê. No, our place is high. They named it Bashemre.
Niha gelek gundên me li çiyayê Lîlûn da... di nahiyeya Şêrawa da bi navê 'Bê' hene. Now, many of our villages on Mount Lelun... in the Sherawa sub-district have names starting with 'Be'.
Yanî yek jî gundê we bi navê 'Bê' ye. So one of them is your village with the name 'Be'.
Teben erê hene. Basûfan heye, pir gund hene cem me li vê derê. Of course, yes there are. Basufan is there, many villages are here with us in this place.
Basûfan heye, Bê'yê heye, Burc Heyder e, Burc el Qaz e, Berad e. Basufan is there, Beye is there, Burj Heyder, Burj al-Qas, Brad.
Evana ba li vê derê, ba heye li cemel Şêrawa da. These have wind here, there is wind in the Sherawa mountain.
Wana kunc nefeqa bayê, lew kirin navê 'Bê'. Those are the corner of the wind tunnel, that's why they made the name 'Be'.
Ê 'Şemr' çiye? And what is 'Shemr'?
Şemr wellahî em nizanin Şemr çi mena xwe bitabet he... Shemr, by God, we don't know exactly what Shemr means...
Yanî vena Şemr ekîd firqet mîletek berê ji Çiyayê Kurmênc da tê çû Heleb... Meaning Shemr, surely a group, a people before came from Kurd Mountain going to Aleppo...
Li vê derê istiraha hebû. They had a rest stop here.
Yanî vir ciyê vehesînê bû? Meaning this was a place of resting?
Ciyê vehesînê bû li vir. Dihatin, eger ji Heleb dihatin vir vedhesîn. It was a place of resting here. They came, if they came from Aleppo they rested here.
Û eger ji Çiyayê Kurmênc dihatin, li vê derê vedhesîn. And if they came from Kurd Mountain, they rested here.
Li vê derê rûniştin, vedxwarin, vedxwarin. They sat here, drank and drank.
Loma lê kirin gotin peyana... yanî 'Ecwa mîrê' nav kirine Şemr lê. So they named it, they said the infantry... meaning 'Prince's Group' named it Shemr.
Ew ciyê... ciyê vehesîn li ku derê bû? That place... where was the resting place?
Ciyê vehesîn li vir orta gund da bû. The resting place was here in the middle of the village.
Sahrincek li vir hebû, sahrinca avê. There was a cistern here, a water cistern.
Ciyê xwe xuyan dike... Its place shows itself...
Hêj diyar e? Is it still visible?
Hêj diyar e. It is still visible.
Dihatin rûniştin li vê derê, û li ser wê sahrincê rûniştin ava xwe hênik bû. They used to come and sit here, and sat on that cistern, its water was cool.
Li wê derê rûniştin av vedxwarin, vedhesîn, û her kîşek çû karê xwe paşî. They sat there, drank water, rested, and everyone went about their business afterwards.
Niha em behsa gund bikin ha? Gund wek miletê gund... û ji çi eşîrî ne? Ji kîjan eşîrî ne? Now let's talk about the village, huh? The village, as the people of the village... what tribe are they from? Which tribe?
Em eşîra me Şerqiyan e. Our tribe is Sherqiyan.
Gund giş yek eşîrî ne yan...? Is the whole village one tribe or...?
Na gundî ya eşîr... didin e... sê ne... No, the village tribe... there are two... three...
Ê din? The others?
Yek Şerqiyan e... ji hatina vir... bes tarîxek ya mîj da tê rûniştin e. One is Sherqiyan... from coming here... but it is a history of long ago settlement.
Ê din jî Omeriyan e. The other is Omeriyan.
Ji gundê Mezin yanî... em nîzîkê hev in. Em hatine li vir rûniştine. From Gundê Mezin [Big Village] meaning... we are close to each other. We came and settled here.
Niha Omeriyan li Cizîrê jî hene? Now are there Omeriyan in Jazira as well?
Cizîrê hene, Şengalê hene, Şerqiyan jî hene. They are in Jazira, they are in Shengal, Sherqiyan are there too.
Li Şengalê, li Cizîrê hene, li giş dera hene. In Shengal, in Jazira, they are everywhere.
Niha behsa hinekî malbatê wa bikin, eşîrê wa bikin. Berê hûn Êzîdî bûn? Now let's talk a bit about your families, your tribes. Were you Yazidis in the past?
Berê em giş Êzîdî bûn, rast e. In the past we were all Yazidis, that's true.
Bes bawerke sê salî vir da, gundê me sînor e di navbera Tata da yanê Ereba li dora me ne. But believe me, 300 years ago, our village was a border between the Tats... Arabs are around us.
Mezinê me rabûn... bûn navê wan nêrîn Îslam bûn. Our elders got up... their name and view became Islam.
Yaani em Îslam in, bi navê Îslamtiyê em Îslam in. Bes berê em giş Êzîdî bûn. Meaning we are Muslims, by the name of Islam we are Muslims. But before, we were all Yazidis.
Pey Îslamê? Wek gundê Bûrc Qas jî cîranê we ne, ew jî Êzîdî ne? After Islam? Like the village of Burj Qas is your neighbor, are they also Yazidis?

Êrîş li ser me çêbû pir dema... vana bûn şeş-heft sal e şer li ser me dikin. Attacks happened on us many times... it has been 6-7 years they have been waging war on us.
Em sînor in, gundê sînor in. We are a border, a border village.

Êrîş li ser me pir bûn. Attacks on us were many.

Paşê heval hatin taviya me sekinîn. Then friends (YPG/SDF) came and stood with us.
Û heta neha heval cem me ne, û em terka hevala nakin û ew jî amade ne çi tiştî ra be. And until now friends are with us, and we don't leave the friends and they are ready for whatever happens.
Niha behsa hinekî çiyayê Lîlûn bikin. Tedî neha wek debara jiyana xwe, wîna wek Deşta Cûmê, yan Deşta Kitix e, yan Deşta Hemqê... Now talk a bit about Mount Lelun. You know now as your livelihood, not like Jume Plain, or Kitix Plain, or Hemq Plain...
Yanî darê zeytûnan e, darên fêkî ne. Hinekî cem we hemû zinar in. Meaning olive trees, fruit trees. Some parts with you are all rocks.
Cem me heval, rast e zinar in. Bes berê zemanê xwe da yanî mêj da, berî vê hewa rabe, em pê pez dijîn. With us friend, it's true they are rocks. But before in its time meaning long ago, before this chaos rose, we lived by sheep.
Pez cem me hebû. We had sheep.
Her malekê, sed dewarî, sed dewarî cem hebû. Every house, 100 animals, 100 animals they had.
Bes wexta vê êşana li ser me rabûnê, vê êrîşa li ser me kirine, me pez firot. But when these pains rose on us, this attack made on us, we sold the sheep.
Pez nema cem me. Sheep didn't remain with us.
Nika erdê me nîvî di çetada... Now half our land is with the gangs...
Yanî em nikarin herne wir. Meaning we can't go there.
Kîjan milî da ye? Which side is it?
Di milê jêr da nî... di milê rojavayî... In the lower side... in the western side...

Erdê me nîvî li wî milî ketîye. Half our land fell to that side.
Em nawêrin herin wir. We don't dare go there.
Welle mile xeter bûn tê de heye, em newêrin herin wir. By God there is danger in it, we don't dare go there.
Niha piraniya gundê Şêrawa, wek debara xwe, ji ber ku zinar in, kevir in, debara xwe bi kevir dikin? Now the majority of Sherawa villages, as their livelihood, because they are rocks, stones, do they make their living with stones?
Belê, berî vê heweş û şoreşê, erê me meqle cem me hebûn. Yes, before this chaos and revolution, yes we had quarries with us.

Hûn tê de kar nakin? Nafiroşin? You don't work in it? Don't sell?
Belê em tê de kar dikin, berê difirotin... bes vir buye heft sal û vir de em nikarin kar bikin. Yes we work in it, before we sold... but since 7 years ago and since, we can't work.
Rê tune ne. There are no roads.
Mûhaser bûn.. We were besieged..
Bo şev û roja ket destê wala, îşê me re nehatibû, em man mûhaser bûn. For nights and days it fell into emptiness, our work didn't come through, we remained besieged.
Paşê ev hal hate serê me, her çar aliyên me mûhaser bûn, em man di navçê de bûn. Then this situation happened to us, we were besieged on all four sides, we were left in the middle.
Me nikarîbû livê.. Pî bere nebûle û zehrav e, rê qaf e, kîrî bû. We couldn't move there... There was no direction and it was difficult, the road was blocked, it was muddy.
Me nikarîbû herê, hewja mûhaser bûn. Bes nan, yanî ji berê çêtir e. We couldn't go, we were in need and besieged. But bread, meaning it is better than before.
Bes nan, em mane mûhaser in. Yanî heta nan, em mane mûhaser in. Just bread, we remain besieged. I mean even regarding bread, we remain besieged.
Neha.. Tirko ji dorê me girtibû, rehên me, ma heta Tirk'a jî vir jî cema.. cema tinesra.. Now... The Turks had surrounded us, our paths, even the Turks here alongside us... alongside [unclear]...

Vê şikeftê, di eynî de me xwediyê, bav kalan da, şikeftê me ne, em diwardiqilînin. This cave, at the same time we are the owners, from our forefathers, they are our caves, we dug them out [rolled the rocks out].
Berê.. berê cûk bûn, ne mezin bûn. Before... before they were small, they weren't big.
Xelkê dihatin li vir hewar dikolan. Pê mal sipî dikirin, pê mal digirtin, pê axê, ji van şikefta. People used to come here to dig 'hewar' (white soil/chalk). They whitewashed houses with it, they covered houses with it, with soil, from these caves.

Neha em tiştekî bipirsin.. gundê we tenê.. lê ji gundê din jî dihatin? Now let us ask something... was it only your village... or did they come from other villages too?
Na hemû gunda. Ji derdora gundî me giş dihatin gund.. şikeft.. hewar ji gundê me dibirin. No, all villages. From all around our village they all came to the village... cave... they took 'hewar' from our village.

Gund hene, şikeft hene û hindik in. Ew tehta dane, ne hewar e. There are villages that have caves but they are few. That is rock [hard stone], not 'hewar' [soft stone/chalk].
Ne hewar e? It's not 'hewar'?
Na. Bes gundê me tenê.. zêde hewarê xwe pir e yanî. Hewarê xwe rind e, ma'ne sipîbûna mala yanî. No. Only our village... has a lot of excess 'hewar'. Its 'hewar' is good, meaning for the whitewashing of houses.

Erê lê.. bes hindik e, heye pêsê xwe dike, yê nayê, tinne yanî. Yes, but... just a little, there are those who dig/use it, those who don't, don't.

Wele şikeftê me gelek hewar in. Ji va gunda da şikeftê hewar tinne. By God, our caves have a lot of 'hewar'. In these [other] villages, there are no 'hewar' caves.
Başemrê, Birc Heyderê, Kibêşînê, gundê Mezin.. ji hewar tinne. Gi taht e, tahtê sax e. Cem me vir hewar e. Başemrê, Burc Heyder, Kibêşîn, Gundê Mezin... they have no 'hewar'. It's all rock, solid rock. Here with us, it is 'hewar'.
Dihatin li vir dikolan, paşê dema çemento derketî, êdî xelkê terka hewarê kir, nekola. They came and dug here, then when cement came out, people abandoned the 'hewar' and didn't dig.
Haya vir çend salan bû? Up to here, how many years was it?
Berî va, vî noka.. ez ez qiciklek bûm dihatin hewar dibirin, emrê min yanî.. heşt deh sal bûn, yanî bigre bêje pêncî salî de. Before this, this now... I was a small child when they came to take 'hewar', my age was... eight or ten years old, meaning assume, say within fifty years.

Na dermanê difroşin na. No, we don't sell the medicine.
Na, fîsebîlîllah. No, for the sake of God [charity].
Na nafiroşin. No, you don't sell.
Neha hûn dikelînin? No.
Neha hûn dikelînin? Now you boil it?
Em dikelînin. Tê 'ewil em dişûn. Û emê bikelînin. Û piştî em parzinînin, sehanekî, hewe qeneînkekî, qeneînkê dînê derekê oh hênik. We boil it. First we wash it. And we will boil it. And after we filter it, into a plate, or a small bottle, put the bottle somewhere until it's cool.
Sibe qedehekê berî.. taştê. Û êvarê berî şîvê qedehekê. In the morning a glass before... breakfast. And in the evening before dinner a glass.
Ligo feyde lê dibe. So that there is benefit from it.
Belkî kevirî gurçika bişkîne. Maybe it breaks the kidney stones.
Na germ naken. Hênik hênik. You don't drink it warm?
Na germ naken. Hênik hênik. No we don't drink it warm. Cool, cool.
Na dayê, hûn nika, em behsa dermanê din bikin. Te dît di gunda de gelek derman çêdikin. So mother, you now... let's talk about other medicines. You saw in the villages they make many medicines.
Ê welle derman. Me he? Yes, by God, medicine. Do we have?
Tiştê din çê nakin? You don't make other things?
Bavê min jî hebû, noka tenê ye... çolî hebû, noka tenê ye. My father had it too, now it's just... it was wild, now it is just [this].
Ez zanim te... behs nekiriye, hewce derman e. I know you... haven't discussed it, it is a needed remedy.
Bes noka talî heye, ew jî... talî ya mede ye. But now there is bitterness, that too... it is the bitterness of the stomach.
Te digo ne de melhem şûna melhem bû... çêdikirin... You were saying instead of ointment, it was an ointment... they used to make...
Ê weleh me çênekiriye, weleh wane... wextê me çênekiriye... me çênekiriye. Oh, by God, we haven't made it, by God like that... at that time we didn't make it... we didn't make it.
Talî jî pirsgirêk e. Bitterness is also a problem.
Merheba jareke din. Hello once again.
Hela w selan. Welcome.
Em nav nas bikin? Shall we get to know the name?
Navê min Hena. My name is Hena.
Ser çava. You are welcome.
Ay şan e. It's an honor.
Ser çavê min. Wa çi destê te da? You are welcome. What is that in your hand?
Talî ye. It is Talî [a bitter herb].
Tu karî hinekî behsa tîtayî bikî? Behsê gelek tiştan kirin. Can you talk a little about the details? They discussed many things.
Hûn ji bo çi bi kar tînin? Hûn ji bo çi tiştan çêdikin? What do you use it for? For what things do you prepare it?
De ne... talî ye, em sibê dikelînin... û maneyê mede, maneyê şekir... yanî betxûn... Well no... it is Talî, we boil it in the morning... and for the stomach, for diabetes [sugar]... meaning for the abdomen...
Ji bûna nexweşiya şekir yanî? You mean for the diabetes sickness?
Ji bûna nexweşiya şekir û mede. For the diabetes sickness and the stomach.
Dikelînin, sibê qedehekî berî xwarinê taştiyê, betxûn... û êvarî berî xewkinê yekî betxûn. Du heb, gelek yanî feyde lê dîtine. They boil it, in the morning a glass before eating breakfast, on an empty stomach... and in the evening before sleeping one on an empty stomach. Two of them, meaning they have seen a lot of benefit from it.
Yanî ji bo mede? Meaning for the stomach?
Ji bo mede. For the stomach.
No no... pirr însanên ji mezin dibêjin bê... yanî bêelandin divê tenê nan, tenê divê xwarin wisa tişt dibêjin ji bo mede? No no... many older people say without... meaning without eating it must be just bread, just eating [simple] things they say for the stomach?
Belê, jibergî jî... dixwin... dixwin. Yes, mostly too... they eat... they eat.
Yanî pir xelkê ji me ra gotin yanî... Meaning many people told us that...
Belê. Yes.
Tu çi çêdikî? Kanî ku tu hinekî behsa tiştekî bikî? What are you making? Can you talk a little about something?
Ez dê behsa tiştekî bikim, wa tişta biharê dema xwe heye. I will talk about something, this thing has its time in the spring.
Gul e, çiçek e, zer e. Em neha dikutin, dikutin... datînin ser kîsekî naylonî. It is a flower, a blossom, yellow. We pound it now, pound it... put it on a nylon bag.
Datînin ser destê xwe... wa deste bikim dêşe, ew duxure wekî melhem e. Put it on the hand... if I treat this hand that hurts, that sore, it is like an ointment.
Datînî ser... ji wir de gamarê gi kom dike, dike wê hewê. Av tê de çêdibe, gamar tê de çêdibe... You put it on... from there it gathers all the infection, puts it in that place. Water [fluid] forms in it, infection forms in it...
Paşî... tenê xwe ew gamarê jî derdikeve. Yanî wa êşeke vê radike. Then... by itself that infection also comes out. Meaning it removes this pain.
Li ku derê gundan heye? Li gund tenê heye yan...? Where in the villages does it exist? Is it only in the village or...?
Wana... hemû cih çêdibe yanî. Those... it grows in all places actually.
Hemî cih de? In all places?
Hûn dibêjin çi? Gula çi hûn çi navî dibêjin? What do you call it? Flower of what, what name do you say?
Em dibêjin Gula Şevê. We call it the Night Flower.
Gula Şevê hûn dibêjin? You call it the Night Flower?
Ê. Yes.
Yanî naha... timî di gund da kî derî bibêje... ya jî der ji jî dikin? Meaning now... always in the village whoever gets a sore... or do they do it outside [the village] too?
Na welle pir gund da çê nabe. No, by God, it doesn't grow in many villages.
Çê nabe? Di gundê we da? It doesn't grow? In your village?
Ê di vî gundî da çê dibe, em xwa re tînin... qiçkê me derekî xwe dêşe, şewata hewdibe... em datînin ser wir... gamarê, êşekê, gi dertîne. Yes, in this village it grows, we bring it for ourselves... if our small one hurts a place, gets a burn... we put it on there... it draws out all the infection, the pain.
Yanî dibêjin Gula Şevê? So they call it the Night Flower?
Ê. Yes.
Spasî we dikim. I thank you.
Spas xweş. You're welcome.
Bes kanî dayê em behsa wê bikin... naha wekî ji kûkê win dikin? But let's see, mother, let's talk about that... now like you do it from the root?

Em li kol... kûl... heye, bes e bin erdî sor... a zaîf e. We dig... the hole... it is there, but underground is red... it is thin.
Bes e nav kevir o... sînci de, reşîfa de... o qalind e. But inside the rocks and... in the hedge, in the pavement... that one is thick.
Hê kûkê qalind feyde dike. The thick root is the one that gives benefit.
Bes hebene... no. But if there are [thin ones]... no.
Kûkê we le kî derê? Where is your root?
Li kî derê? Hane nav kevira heta çi qasî ez kevira bidim ber, dima dima dikolim. Her sal ez ji alemê re bêtir dikolim. Where is it? Here among the stones, no matter how much I move the stones, I keep digging. Every year I dig more than anyone else.
Her sal? Every year?
Em bibînin çawa dikin? Ka kerem ke. Shall we see how they do it? Please go ahead.
Ka dayê ji kerema xwe te kerem ke were cem min. Mother, please, be so kind to come to me.
Ka ji me ra bêje çawa çêdikin? Tell us how you make it?
Ha bibêjim? Shall I say?
Ê. Yes.
Ewe kûk... That is the root...
Qurban, her kûkê xwe... zaîf be zira tune ye. Bes e qalind be... My dear, whatever root it is... if it is thin there is no harm. But if it is thick...
Tê bişoyî, qut ke... hana were qut ke, bişo... û nav avê, pak ke, bikelîne wekî çay. Qasî çay dikelî, hew jî bikele. You will wash it, cut it... cut it like this here, wash it... and in water, clean it, boil it like tea. As much as tea boils, let that boil too.
Û sibê bisefîne... biparzîne... qeynekê gî... sibê qedehekî berî xwarinê vexwe... û êvarî qedehekî berî xwarinê vexwe. And in the morning clarify it... strain it... all the boiling... in the morning drink a glass before eating... and in the evening drink a glass before eating.
Gerek çi qasî bikelîne? Çi qasî dema bikelîne? How much should it boil? How much time should it boil?
Çi qasî? Rêb saetê bikele... rêb saetê bila bikele. How much? Let it boil for a quarter of an hour... let it boil for a quarter of an hour.
Gerek rind bikele? Must it boil well?
Rind bikele, ê. Boil well, yes.
Piştre ew sar dikin. Afterwards they cool it.
Paşê em sar dikin, em disefînin... dikine qenînkekî... sibê berî xwarinê qedehekî... û êvarî berî xwarinê qedehekî. Then we cool it, we clarify it... put it in a bottle... morning before eating a glass... and evening before eating a glass.
