What’s her “secret”?

Sempre tive um carinho especial por este tema da Madonna. Do título à letra – assinada por Shep Pettibone e a própria Madonna -, da belíssima fotografia do vídeoclip ao ritmo contagiante, é um dos muitos sucessos da rainha da pop (embora não seja um dos mais famosos) a quem dedico aqui uma piscadela de olho, não completasse ela hoje meio século de puro mito. Daqueles que não precisam de morrer prematuramente mas perpetuam-se infinitamente no tempo. Como um verdadeiro segredo.

Secret (1994), Madonna

Things haven’t been the same
Since you came into my life
You found a way to touch my soul
And I’m never ever ever gonna let it go

Happiness lies in your own hand
It took me much too long to understand
How it could be
Until you shared your secret with me…

Something’s comin’ over
Mmm-mmm, something’s comin’ over
Mmm-mmm, something’s comin’ over me
My baby’s got a secret

You gave me back the paradise
That I thought I lost for good
You helped me find the reasons why
It took me by surprise that you understood
You knew all along
What I never wanted to say
Until I learned to love myself
I was never ever lovin’ anybody else

Happiness lies in your own hand
It took me much too long to understand
How it could be
Until you shared your secret with me…

CHORUS

Happiness lies in your own hand
It took me much too long to understrand
How it could be
Until you shared your secret with me…

My baby’s got a secret
My baby’s got a secret for me…
