Secret Love
FREDDY FENDER Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Once I had secret love
That lived within this part of me
All too soon my secret love
Became impassioned to be free
So I told a friendly star
The way that dreamers often do
Just I wonder of your eyes
And why I'm so in love with you

Now shout this highest hill
Even told the golden best of you
And now my heart's an open door
And my secret love is no secret anymore
Ai amor mon me le quer morir
Que non miras lo que pasa en mi
Ven y da-me tu calor




Que mi corazon se muere sin tu amor
And my secret love is nno secret anymore

I used to put this album on when I was a young girl and played it through beginning to end, and today many years later, I can still listen to it beginning to end. Timeless beauty.

Fantastic.

EXCELLENT version!(The best IMO).Throwing a heartfelt Spanish chorus in an English love song add's extra stun power!💪
