Lyrics
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
