Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Something that’s eating me alive
But I really like you even though it’s
Not the right time for us to realize
Ooh, ooh, ooh
It’s my little secret
Ooh, ooh, ooh
But I shouldn’t keep it
& I have much to lose
Ooh, ooh, ooh
I don’t want you to refuse
I don’t want to regret
Or even break a sweat
I just want to tell you my
Little secret
You should already know, I feel the same way
As you also do
These butterflies won’t quit
There’s nothing to fear
Your heart’s not at bay
The signs are there, so let’s not hide it
Ooh, ooh, ooh
It’s your little secret
Ooh, ooh, ooh
But you shouldn’t keep it
Ooh, ooh, ooh
And you have nothing to lose
Ooh, ooh, ooh
I promise I won’t refuse
You don’t have to regret
Or even break a sweat
I just want to hear your little secret
I can’t believe that, you like me as well
What I just did, was not in vain
It’s been so much time, since I just could tell
I hear it so clear, when you say my name
Ooh, ooh, ooh
It’s our little secret
Ooh, ooh, ooh
But we shouldn’t keep it
Ooh, ooh, la la la la
We have nothing to lose
Ooh, ooh, ooh
We cannot refuse
We don’t have to regret
Or even break a sweat
We just want to share our little secret
The lyrics of "Secret" by O.M.D. revolve around the dilemma of keeping a secret and all the emotions that come with it. The singer is conflicted about confessing their feelings for someone they are attracted to because they fear rejection and losing what they already have. The song expresses the fear of losing the person in question or the friendship they already have. The chorus emphasizes the saying that "secret" isn't safe as it lingers in the mind, and the fear of what happens next may be too overwhelming. The song’s central theme is that love is a powerful force that should not be suppressed, and that honesty is often the best policy.
The lyrics capture universal emotions that many people have experienced, making this song relatable to listeners. The feeling of being in love with a friend while also fearing losing their friendship is something many people can relate to. Through the lyrics, O.M.D. conveys the message that people should be honest about their feelings and share them with the people they love, even if they are afraid of how they will react.

secreto
Tengo un secreto y no puedo contarlo
Siempre esperé por este día
Desde el principio nunca tuve dudas
Siempre supe que nunca saldría a la luz
Hay cosas que no puedo contarte
Y hay cosas que tú sabes muy bien
Esto se está volviendo muy difícil para mí
Creo que sería mejor que simplemente esperes y veas
(Instrumental)
Esto es todo, esto es todo
Escuchaste un mensaje y el mensaje era claro
A cada instante te secarías esa lágrima
Todo lo que quiero es tomar tu mano
Para ver el sol y caminar por la arena
Tú me pones triste y me alegras
Y ahora comprendo que todo mi secreto era este amor
Es amor, es amor
Mi secreto es este amor
Cada día tú estás siempre allí
Me consuelas y me haces sentir que valgo la pena
Entonces miro a mi alrededor y no estás allí
Y cada día me dices que te importo y yo tendre cuidado
(Instrumental)
Esto es todo, esto es todo
Tengo un secreto y no puedo contarlo
Todo lo que quiero es tomar tu mano
Desde el principio Nunca tuve dudas
Para ver el sol y caminar por la arena

I got a secret and I cant explain
All the time, Ive waited for this day
All along I was never in doubt
I always knew it would never get out
There are things that I cannot tell
And there are things that you know damn well
This is getting very hard for me
I guess you'd better just wait and see
(Instrumental)
This is all, this is all
You heard a message and the message was clear
All the time you wipe away that tear
And all I want is to hold your hand
To see the sun and walk the sand
You make me sad and you make me glad
My secret is this love
Is love, Is love
All my secret is this love
Everyday you're always there
You comfort me
And make me feel its worth my while
And then I look around and you're not there
And everyday you say you care and I'll beware
(Instrumental)
This is all, this is all
I've got a secret and I cant explain
All I want is to hold your hand
All along I was never in doubt

We had no idea how important our youth was back in 1985...I love my life now, but if I could go back to visit, I'd book a year long trip in a heartbeat.
@jillwehner603
Me too
@gisho9
I’m right there with you.
@andreaswhiskyvitrine570
If I could, I would travel back at that time.
@jeancd3955
One way, no return

Eine wundervolle Zeit...

Had no money just great friends, great music, great movies. Happy to have grown up in the 80’s and 90’s. It was a magical time!
@dawnpoulton342
I totally agree with you. The 80s was fantastic for music so many different genres. Still play a lot of the music from back then. I am now 57 and can still remember the lyrics (can't remember what I did last week lol)
@user-zb8hz5ti3q
You and me both my dear friend.
@enriqueferrerrico3240
Chicos, aquí hay otro que guarda maravillosos recuerdos de los 80.Saludos.
