Secret Love
Fain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That lived within the heart of me
All too soon my secret love
Became impatient to be free
So I told a friendly star
The way that dreamers often do
Just how wonderful you are
Now I shout it from the highest hills
Even told the golden daffodils
At last my heart's an open door
And my secret love's no secret anymore
The lyrics to Fain's song "Secret Love" depict the journey of a hidden love that eventually becomes too overwhelming to remain concealed. The singer starts by acknowledging their secret love, which has been hidden deep within their heart. However, as time goes on, this love grows stronger and becomes eager to be released and expressed. The singer confides in a friendly star, a symbol of dreams and hopes, sharing their profound adoration for the person they are in love with and expressing how wonderful and remarkable that person is.
With the weight of the secret love becoming unbearable, the singer reaches a point where they can no longer contain their emotions. They overcome their fear and decide to shout about their love to the world, figuratively shouting from the highest hills. The phrase "told the golden daffodils" symbolizes the singer's desire to share their love and joy with everything around them, even the smallest and most beautiful of things. Finally, the singer reveals that their heart, which was once closed and secretive, is now an open door. The secret love they held in their heart is no longer a secret; it is now a love that is openly expressed and embraced.

Once I had a secret love
There was a time when I harbored a hidden love
That lived within the heart of me
It resided deeply and secretly in my heart
All too soon my secret love
Unfortunately, my concealed affection
Became impatient to be free
Started yearning to break free and be expressed
So I told a friendly star
I confided in a compassionate star
The way that dreamers often do
Just like how dreamers usually do
Just how wonderful you are
About the immense wonder you possess
And why I am so in love with you
And the reasons behind my deep affection towards you
Now I shout it from the highest hills
Presently, I proclaim it loudly from the tallest hills
Even told the golden daffodils
I even revealed it to the radiant daffodils
At last my heart's an open door
Finally, my heart is an accessible gateway
And my secret love's no secret anymore
And my concealed love is no longer kept hidden

I used to watch the show JUST to see Anacani! What a crush I (and probably a couple million other guys) had on her...
@chpnlzt
I WAS TOO YOUNG TO APPRECIATE HER THE FIRST TIME AROUND, BUT WATCHING THE RERUNS ON PBS MOSTLY TO SEE HER, SO I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL !!!
I CALL HER THE MEXICAN CRYSTAL GAYLE !!!
(CRYSTAL IS MY FAVORITE SINGER OF ALL TIME)
@sergioalpert66

COOL, DIDN'T KNOW SHE HAD A DAUGHTER......WONDER IF HER GIRL CAN SING TOO ?
CAN'T IMAGINE BEING MARRIED TO SOMEONE "THAT" BEAUTIFUL ........ BEING GOBSMACKED AND TONGUE TIED ALL THE TIME, PROBABLY WOULDN'T GET MUCH DONE......
@sergioalpert66
Oh I'm sure Anacani would calm you down after a few minutes. She's probably had to calm down a lot of male fans she's met over the years. But yeah, Anacani's singing is as good as it gets. Wouldn't be surprised if Priscila can sing. Musical talent runs in Anacani's side of the family. Her grandfather was a bandleader for a long time just like Lawrence Welk.

so, so beautiful
