I tried convincing you to let me stay, 
but you fired me anyway.
،حاولتُ إقناعك بالسّماح لي في البقاء
لكنّك طردتني على أي حال
Ich hatte angedeutet, weitermachen zu wollen,
doch Ihr habt mich entlassen.
Intenté decirle que quería quedarme,
pero usted me despidió.
Intenté decirle que quería quedarme,

Vous m’avez congédiée
malgré le message que je vous ai laissé.
Io l'ho avvicinata per chiederle di restare,
è stato lei a congedarmi!
Tentei te convencer a me deixar ficar,
mas você me demitiu mesmo assim.
Я убеждала вас не увольнять
меня, а вы всё равно уволили.
