- This Bitter Earth Lyrics / with translationsThis bitter earth
Well, what fruit it bears
What good is love
that no one shares
And if my life is like the dust
that hides the glow of a rose
What good am I
Heaven only knows
this bitter earth
Yes, can be so cold
Today you´re young
But too soon, you´re old
But while a voice within me cries
I´m sure someone may answer my call
And this bitter earth
Ooooo may not
Oh be so bitter after all
Well, what fruit it bears
What good is love
that no one shares
And if my life is like the dust
that hides the glow of a rose
What good am I
Heaven only knows
this bitter earth
Yes, can be so cold
But too soon, you´re old
But while a voice within me cries
I´m sure someone may answer my call
And this bitter earth
Ooooo may not
Oh be so bitter after all
