This afternoon, it is 4 o'clock, in 2018, it's Wednesday

jena kopereꞌi las kwatru ... te dos_mil_dieciocho mieekuresi

My name is Silvia Guaji Guaji, I am the daughter of late Sir Mamerto Guaji, and of Maximiliana Guaji.

nuti nkijare Silvia Guaji Guaji , ñichichanu eñi viya Mameetini Guaji , Maximiliana Guaji .

I am going to tell you all about this village of ours, San Lorenzo (De Mojos).

eti nechjisꞌoyre te joka viowsa Sa Lorenzo .

The start... José Santos Noco Guaji started it, this man was my uncle, he still is my uncle, he still is the uncle of my father (lit. the one who has me as a child).

ñi... tanaekuriꞌi tnaekchooꞌi eñi ñi José Santos Noko Guaji , napiaru eñi ꞌchane , napiaarichꞌo , ñapiaarichꞌo eñi tkochichanu .

He was the person responsible for this village.

eñi techoriꞌi pjoka viowsa

First, the houses were made of straw, the houses.

tatiwriꞌi eto to petiriꞌi muiji , to petyonriꞌi .

And the church was made with straw, its... its thing.... its roof of the house, its roof of the house, the houses of the ancestors.

ene eto ꞌresia muiji , to ... to ta... ta... tayeꞌeriꞌi ta... tamuigꞌeeꞌi peti , tamuigꞌe to peti , to napenonini eno viyanovionini .

Why did they come ?

taa takoyemriꞌi to tyutekompo ?

They took the Holy San Lorenzo, his head.

nompo eñi viya Sa Lorenzo , to ñichuti .

They came here.

tyutekompo te pjoka .

They left the crowd of people and they fled.

nanokpo eno ꞌchañonono eto tyutajkompo

They fled at the times of Guayocho.

te to ... ñi... tyutajkompo te to ... tiempo to Wayochomuꞌriꞌi .

Him, in times of Guayocho, the criminals killed people, fled and came here.

eñi to Wayochomuꞌi eno tkopaꞌiono tkoparekono tyutajkompo tyutekompo oni .

The others stayed there where it's called San Francisco.

no ꞌpomri nanospo te pjuena tkijareeꞌi San Prasisku .

****

****

And the others came here, those that had fled the times of Guayocho.

ene eno pomri tyutekompo te pjoka takoytajkogneeꞌi eto tiempo to Wayochomuꞌi .

They made their houses this way, they made their churches, there were (made of) straw.

enetse eto naepiakpo to napenoyooꞌi , naepiakpo to nayeꞌeyo ꞌresiariꞌi , muijirichꞌo .

The straw was... thin straw.

eto t- ... muiji ... tsep- tsepaji muiji

The men still had houses like that.

etorichꞌo nakopeno eno viyanoviono .

They came, they scratched the buttocks of the people and put salt.

nakepripo eno naejayuttechpo nanokpo to ꞌcheve .

And they killed them.

ene nakopakopripo .

The others crossed the river where it (the riverside) is called "borachera", that's it.

no ꞌpomriono tyanekompo te pjuena tkíjare Worachera , enepo eto .

And they did not reach them.

wipo nakopayakariꞌi eno .

And José Santos Noco communicated with Spain, with the one called Saul.

ene eñi ñi José Santos Noko eñi tkomunikachowo te to España ñe ñi tkijareeꞌi S... Sa.. . Sau... Saul

I forgot his last name.

When José Santos Noco talked, he was still a soldier.

takeeꞌi te to ñechjikpo ñi José Santos Noko , sontaarichꞌo eñi .

José Santos Noco goes, speaks.

José Santos Noko tyono , techjiko .

And he ordered (it?),the one who lived in Spain brought the thing called copper.

ene ñiwonikpo ñi... ñimiomrikpo eñi ñi tkowsa te to España pjoka tkijareeꞌi kowre .

Made of copper were the machetes with which they would kill, they were Herodes.

kowre eto ꞌsaype nakoparesrare eno e... roresiono .

With that they killed the Herodes (?).

nakpo... nakopasiꞌo no roresi

This they took from their imagination of the sword with which Herode was killing.

eto na... naveꞌpo to ... n... takuna ñikoparesne ñi roresi

They arranged the place and built a church.

en tayeꞌe tetpirikwopo nanokpo to ꞌresia

At three, the rooster crowed three times and the people got up.

te las tres , tom... tiyoꞌopo mopoꞌegiene to wrayu techpukompo

They sung, they prayed, until it was daytime.

tjirompo , tyujrokompo asta to tyjarakukuꞌipo

And the ancestors were working and helping each other with their fields.

ene eno antiwono tkemtoñono timkatakokonrichꞌo naesañono .

And the woman were helping each other in their weaving.

ene eno venono te naejrure timkatakokono

They were putting them (i.e.weaving), the first ones (the ancestors) were helping each other.

nokrikono timkatakokono eno no natiwgieñono .

They were living here in our village San Lorenzo.

tkowsano te pjoka viowsa Sa Lorenzo .

Now we are super lazy, we do not meet to spin.

juiti viti vyakjispo wipo vaamutu wipo vijrurigia

We do not know how to remove the seed from the cotton, we do not weave anymore.

wipo vpuchjirigia , wipo vnokrigia

Such were the old times, they looked for where to put their (future) boundary markers.

ene takeeꞌi to ... tyereꞌipo natankopo to nanosꞌoyreeꞌi eto ... manjeꞌe ... tayeꞌonñooꞌi mojone .

The four boundary markers (of the village), they take San Lorenzo to the place of the gull (the bed of the Secure river?)

kwatrugne mojone , taveꞌo pjoka Sa Lorenzo to ꞌtsekrereku .

They mark here next to China (name of a ranch) where they saw the river.

taveꞌo pjoka te tnopo te China to naemuiꞌriꞌi pjoka kjokre

The river stinks.

tíjane pjoka kjokre

It stinks.

tíjane

That's how they called Tomche'o.

ene naejarechpo Tomcheꞌo

‎It is its name in our language.

eto taejare to vechjiriiwo .

Our future granchildren will multiply.

nakoni viamririono nae... nae... naejpakgieneyore naemꞌoyre .

****

When the language is going to go away, it will spread and we don't know where it will go. There will be my nephews, my granchildren, they are going to meet and whatever, or whichever woman, they are going to say.

te to tyanaripo pjoka ꞌchojriikowo takitojiyre oypuka takijꞌeyre ; noknojooꞌi ncheranove , namriono nokpojkoyre ene tajpuka ... ene najpukariꞌi psuka ꞌseno nakeyre

There is another river.

jokapo ꞌpona kjokre

It is called Ichiniwa, the Spanish-speakers say, but this is not correct (this is not it).

tkíjare Ichiniwa najicho no tkomeriono ene wo etina

Ichiniwa is not its name.

wo etina taejarena to Ichiniwa

'chinichniwa, that is to say the place of the elf, there are many jaguars.

ꞌchinichniwa o_sea eto towrare to chiñono , movera to ꞌchini .

The name of this Ichiniwa is: 'chinichniwa.

eto taejare pjoka Ichiniwariꞌi ꞌchinichniwa

It is that that we cross when we go to our field, where I grew up.

eto viti vianeksare vyono te viésane te njuukopo

I knew it.

nimotpo .

I also swim.

nowreko nomuire

I don't know how to swim yet, with the buoy I swim.

wichꞌo nitka nowregia , te perota nowresꞌo .

And my parents pushed me with the leather buoy.

ene nopjup... tyopjuknu no tkochichanono te perota prumo

They made me cross the river with it.

nakanesꞌonu

It was like this long ago, then they have been thinking about it.

takeeꞌi to tyerepo , naponrerikpo .

The non-indigenous people came.

tyutekompo no tkomeriono

They brought alcohol.

tyomono to awariente .

They brought merchandise, salt, medecine.

tyomono to yreekowo , ꞌcheve , ꞌpuuji .

And they named it San Lorenzo de Mojos.

ene naechjisꞌopo to tkijarepo to SaLorenzo Tmojoro .

My language, me as a woman, this foreign woman is thinking about it, making the most of the customs of our village.

eto nechjiriiwo nuti , nuti ꞌseno , psuka ꞌseno powsajekgiene ssopeꞌi skopneriiji to tayeꞌerepi pjoka viowsa viti .

We don't think (have in our heart), we don't write all the we see when there is daylight (all that one can see), each afternoon.

wo wako... wakowsamreji wo viajkunacha to tajpuka to ... timꞌokre to tjaraꞌinvepo , kopereꞌnovepo .

There is nothing... no one that comes ( =nobody cares).

tajina ... najpuka tyutekono .

Now she comes from far to visit us.

juiti esu ewire sosꞌo tchimrachovi

She takes the traditions of our village, the start of our village.

svejno eto tayeꞌerepi joka viowsa , tanaekrupi joka viowsa

Well, these are all my words.

tamutpotsero joka nechjiriiwo

Thanks and see you later, I'll be back (lit. I'm already going).
