Ey Raqib

[Kulka]

Ok, guys - before i will ask a question let me to introduce the topic.
Last month i went to London for PJAK demonstration against Iran. After demonstration in front of iranian ambassy, we also went to iraqi ambassy - why not, if we already went to London . At the iraqi amabassy we sing "Ey Raqib" - lets say, "we", but in fact i was more than ashamed as i knew only few words... - but i was proud coz PJAK people knew the entire anthem and singing very nice. As soon as i went back home - i learned, once and forever. Two weeks later i went to London again to another demonstration - organized by kurdish community, in front of donkey ambassy (the one with red flag). I am proud to say that i was the only one who knows all "Ey Raqib" - trust me, nobody could sing all the anthem. Later on me and the other guy appealed on facebook to kurdish people to learn it. I also asked my great brothers at work - few of them, if they know the text. - no chance.

So my question here is - do you know the entire text of "Ey Raqib" (no matter which of kurdish languages)? - But please if you wish to give the answer - be honest (or dont answer at all, i dont force anyone). And second request is - if you dont know - please learn

Where do you live?

Yeh I only know it fully in faylee, my langauge, but I kinda of memorized in in Kurmanji.

Oh I see you live in wolverhampton, thats far from london. I live in East London. You should visit. We have a strong kuridsh community here, from 60 thousand.

So if at least 10% of you organize a demonstration - it would be pretty good one - and i will be glad to come and support.

The thing with most Kurds here, is were either very young or very old. I'm 17, still a student, alot of kurdish shopkeepers wouldn't mind organsizing in the weekend, but of course their really busy on weekdays. We do get regular protests from a few kurdish families, but its like less than 500 people show up. Its also not always directed in the center, so the effectiveness weakens.

When i am coming to London, sometimes there is only 50 ( maybe even less) people on demonstration - but its still worth to do that, coz its for Kurdistan. And by the way - if you know about any event like that, please post it here, coz i am interested in any information like that.
Sometimes i cant go to London, coz i get the info one day before the demonstration and i am not able to get day off from work in such a short time. So its important for me to know a few days before. I am working nightshifts start wednesday evening and finished sunday morning - so for fiday-saturday demonstrations i need to take day off, as i am not able to be back home from London to be at work on time.

I don't know any coming up yet, but there is a kurdish/pkk center right next to my house. Kurds gather here. I'm abit busy so I only go a few times. Its in stoke newington and harringay.

[Kulka]

I was in one PKK center in london, i cant remember the name of the area, but its the one where also a lot of donkey lives. I even have a pic there. But anyway - in case, post the info here, so i will know.

[jjmuneer]

Kurdish community center is in stoke newington, right next to aziz mosque. Mare street road, jsut go on google earth. There was a protest just now. Pretty big, around 200 people showed up. Lol it always feel awkard though, because there are turkish shops here, and the Turks always just stare, but they don't say anything.

[Kulka]

I know they have protest today, but i havent got enough time to sort out my holiday from work - i just get to know yesterday. There is never any proper information about such things

Yeh I didn't even know until I saw the protest outside my window.

[Kulka]

Thats the problem with all of us - if anyone wants to get information about any demonstration its like mission impossible - few days after we can watch the video on you tube. There should be any way that the info like that could be given for public. And - for a God sake - give the people some time to sort out things like holidays from work.
It wwas so many demonstrations in UK which i havent been. I am also very sorry i didnt went to London yesterday, really very upset about it. But i couldnt do anything within one day and also the job i am doing in my factory is skilled one and they have to find someone to cover me, when i want day off, which needs time as well.
Kurdish organization - Chatri Azadi, that also organize demonstrations even doesnt have its website, i am in personal contact with its activist Houzan Mahmoud, so its the only way for me to be informed. But i am also looking for contact with activists from PKK Center in London and Kurdish community in Nottingham.

Ey Dijmin (Kurmancî-Kurdi)

Ey dijmin, her maye neteweyê kurdziman

Nikare bişkêne liba topa vî zemanî

Bila kes nebêje kurd dimirin,

Kurd zindî ye Zindî ye, qet nizim nabe ala me.

Em kurd in rengê sor û şoreş in

Li serboriya me ya xwîndar binihêre.

Em kurên Medya û Keyxusrew in

Dînê me, ayîna me her niştîman e

Çend hezar lawên kurd ên şêrdil

Bûn bi gorî (qurbanî), hemû hatin veşartin

Lawên wî niha jî hazir û amade ne

Canfîda ne, canfîda ne, her canfîda

Lawê kurd rabûye ser pê wek mêrxwasan

Çawa bi xwîn neqş dike tacê jînê



Ey Reqîb ( bi zazakî-Kurdi)





Ey reqîb, tim mendo qewmê kurdziwan

Nêşiknen ey v’raştoxê topê zeman

Kes nêvaj kurd merde yo, kurd ganî yo

Ganî yo qet nêna war alaya ma

Lajê kurdî werişto pay sey çêran

Ke b’gonî nexşîn biko taca cuyan

Kes nêvaj kurd merde yo, kurd ganî yo

Ganî yo qet nêna war alaya ma



Ma leyîrê Medya û Keyxusrew î

Dînê ma yo, ayînê ma yo welat

Kes nêvaj kurd merde yo, kurd ganî yo
Ganî yo qet nêna war alaya ma



Ma leyîrê rengê sûr û şoriş î

Bewnî, gonîdmende yo vîyartey ma

Kes nêvaj kurd merde yo, kurd ganî yo
Ganî yo qet nêna war alaya ma



Lajê kurdî hazir û amade yo

Ganfîda yo ganfîda yo, ganfîda

Kes nêvaj kurd merde yo, kurd ganî yo
Ganî yo qet nêna war alaya ma

Ey reqîb! sorani-Kurdi



Ey reqîb her mawe qewmî kurd ziman,

Nay şikênê danerî topî zeman.

Kes nelê kurd mirduwe; kurd zînduwe,

Zînduwe qet nanewê alakeman.



Lawî kurd hestaye ser pê wek dilêr

Ta be xuên nexsîn deka tacî jiyan.

Kes nelê kurd mirduwe, kurd zînduwe,

Zînduwe qet nanewê alakeman.



Ême roley Midya u Kayxosrewîn,

Dînman, ayînman her nishteman

Kes nelê kurd mirduwe, kurd zînduwe,

Zînduwe qet nanewê alakeman.



Ême roley rengî sûr u şorişîn,

Seyrîke xuênawiya raburdûman.

Kes nelê kurd mirduwe, kurd zînduwe,

Zînduwe qet nanewê alakeman.



Lawî kurdî hazir u amadeye,

Giyan fîdane, giyan fîda, her giyan fîda.

Kes nelê Kurd mirduwe, kurd zînduwe,

Zînduwe qet nanewê alakeman.

Tirki

Ey düşman, Kürt diliyle ve varlığıyla hâla yaşamaktadır.

Alemdeki tüm top ateşlerini üstümüze atsanızda yok edemezsiniz bizi.

Kimse Kürtlerin öldüğünü söylemesin, Kürtler yaşıyor.

Bizler hep kızıl giyinmişiz eşitlik (adalet) isteyen çocuklarız.

Bak ne kadar kan aktı görmüyormusun

Kimse Kürtlerin öldüğünü söylemesin, Kürtler yaşıyor.

Yaşıyor ve bayrağımız asla düşmeyecektir.

Bizler Med'lerin, Keyhüsrevlerin çocuklarıyız.

Vatan sevgisi din ve imandan gelir.

Kimse Kürtlerin öldüğünü söylemesin, Kürtler yaşıyor.

Yaşıyor ve bayrağımız asla düşmeyecektir.

Kürtlerin çocukları aslan gibidir ve hayatın kanlı tacıyla süslenmişlerdir.

Kimse Kürtlerin öldüğünü söylemesin, Kürtler yaşıyor.

Yaşıyor ve bayrağımız asla düşmeyecektir.

Kürt gençliği her zaman hazırdır.

Canları fedadır, canları fedadır, Canlar fedadır.

[Kulka]

WOW! Great!

But to be honest about kurmandji version - i know it in a little bit different way - can anyone explain why:

Ey reqîb her, maye qewmê Kurd ziman
Nashikê û danayê bi topê zeman
Kes nebê Kurd dimirin, Kurd jîn dibin
Jîn dibin qet nakevê ala Kurdan
Em xortên rengê sor û shoreshin
Seyr bike xwîna rîyan me da rijand
Kes nebê Kurd dimirin, Kurd jîn dibin
Jîn dibin qet nakevê ala Kurdan
Em xortên Mîdya û Keyxusrewîn
Dîn îman u ayîman, her nishtîman
Kes nebê Kurd dimirin, Kurd jîn dibin
Jîn dibin qet nakevê ala Kurdan
Çend hezar lawanî kurdî nere shêr
Bûn be qurbanî hemûyan nêjiran
Kes nebê Kurd dimirin, Kurd jîn dibin
Jîn dibin qet nakevê ala Kurdan
Lawê Kurd rabûye ser pê wek shêran
Ta bi xwîn nexshîn bike tacê jîyan
Kes nebê Kurd dimirin, Kurd jîn dibin
Jîn dibin qet nakevê ala Kurdan
Xortê Kurd tev hazir û amadene
Canfîdane, canfîdane, her canfîda
