Secret love
Nicos Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Once, I had a secret love
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
And why I am so in love with you

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

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

Overall Meaning

The song "Secret Love" by Nico is a beautiful ballad about a love that was kept a secret for so long. The singer starts off by telling us that they had a secret love, and that it used to live within the heart of the singer. However, this love became impatient and wanted to be free, so the singer confided in a friendly star, which is what dreamers often do, and told the star about how wonderful their love is and why they are so deeply in love.


Then, the singer declares that they shout about this love from the highest hills, even telling the golden daffodils about it. The singer's heart is now an open door, and the secret love is no longer a secret. The singer can now openly declare their love for this person, which they previously had to keep hidden. The song is beautifully written and tells the story of a love that was once kept in the shadows but is now out in the open.


Interestingly, the song "Secret Love" was originally written for the 1953 film "Calamity Jane." The song was sung by Doris Day in the film, and it went on to win the Academy Award for Best Original Song. However, Nico's version of the song is different from the original and has more of a melancholy and introspective quality to it.
