Adela is a homeless Romanian girl that sings in Reading, Berkshire city centre.

She could not speak English so could not tell me anything about the song.

If anyone can translate, i'd greatly appreciate it.

Her romanian is quite bad and full of errors, but this is what I came up with. I hope it helps.

Lyrics:

Povestește tot amaru', numai domnului bun
Nu alerga cu chinurile la alte suflete
Nici prieteni, nici la oameni să le povestim

Nu mai spune a ta durere, frate, nimănui

Povestește tot amaru', numai domnului bun
Nu alerga cu chinurile la alte suflete
Nici prieteni, nici la oameni să le povestim

Oamenii nu pot s-aline suferința ta
Prietenii nu pot să ajute, orișicât ar vrea
Însă acel din veșnicie, fie lăudat,
A venit întotdeauna când eu l-am chemat

Va veni...(judecată), vai, vai, vai
Peste această lume rea, vai, vai, vai
Cine nu s-a pocăit cât au fost pe-acest Pământ
Și pe domnul l-au urât, vai, vai, vai
Cine nu s-a pocăit cât au fost pe-acest Pământ
Și pe domnul l-au urât, vai, vai, vai
Suferință îngrozitoare, vai, vai, vai
Peste lume va fi jale, vai, vai, vai
Cine-a fost și n-ar mai fi
Peste lume va veni, peste lume va veni
Lumea-i rea.

Translation (approximate):

Tell your sorrow only to the good Lord,
Don't run with your woes to other souls
Tell not to friends, not to men (people).

Don't tell your pain, brother, to no one.

Tell your sorrow only to the good lord,
Don't run with your woes to other souls
Tell not to friends, not to men.

Men cannot soothe your suffering,
Friends cannot help, however much they'd want
But He of Eternity, hail to him,
Always came when I sought.

There will come (unintelligible - maybe "judgement"), oh, oh, oh
Upon this evil world, oh, oh, oh
Those who'e not repented while on this Earth,
And the Lord did they hate, oh, oh, oh
Terrible suffering, oh, oh, oh
Grief upon the world, oh, oh, oh
He who had been and would be again
Upon the world will come, upon the world will come.
The world is evil.
