I heard a lot of people died
 during the recent upheaval.
سمعتُ أنّ الكثير من الناس ماتوا
أثناء الثورة الأخيرة
Bei den Aufständen dort sollen
viele Menschen gestorben sein.
Hace un tiempo hubo disturbios
y mucha gente murió allí, ¿no?
Hace un tiempo hubo disturbios
y mucha gente murió allí, ¿no?
Des troubles avaient fait des morts,

मैंने सुना है हाल ही में हुए विद्रोह के दौरान
 बहुत से लोग मारे गए।
Ho sentito che là sono morte molte persone
durante dei tumulti.
Ouvi dizer que muitas pessoas morreram
por causa de algum incidente.
Я слышал, у вас начались беспорядки,
и многие умерли.
