Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Secret by Louane from French to English.

You know

I'm not ready to watch you grow up

I'm scared of what you'll become

Because I know what it means to hurt

I couldn't stop you from hurting

You know, I want you to be happy

And I want to see you fall in love

And even if I want to protect you

Sometimes I'll have to watch you fall

And if girls seem fragile to you

Know you've got a strength inside you unfolding

Like every girl

It won't be easy

But I believe in you

I'll share my biggest secret with you

I've always had a bit of trouble loving myself

And I'm learning every day to grow gentle

I think I'm not done yet, I'm waiting for it to bloom

I'll share my biggest secret with you

I've always had a bit of trouble loving myself

Now what I hope with all my heart

Is that you won't make the same mistake

I know it's not simple to face the mirrors

That you'll sometimes cry in the dark

I went through it a thousand times before you

It's still inside me

And if it's hard not to look at

Others without feeling forgotten

You need to know I understand you

That growing up sometimes takes time

And if girls seem fragile to you

Know you've got a strength inside you unfolding

Like every girl

It won't be easy

But I believe in you

I'll share my biggest secret with you

I've always had a bit of trouble loving myself

And I'm learning every day to grow gentle

I think I'm not done yet, I'm waiting for it to bloom

I'll share my biggest secret with you

I've always had a bit of trouble loving myself

Now what I hope with all my heart

It's that you won't make the same mistake

Outro

I'll share my biggest secret with you

I've always had a bit of trouble loving myself

SONG MEANING

Ever wish you could leave a friendly note to your future self or a loved one? Louane does exactly that in Secret, a heartfelt letter to a little girl who is about to grow up. The French singer mixes gentle advice with confessions of her own insecurities, admitting that she still struggles to love herself. By sharing her “biggest secret,” Louane hopes to spare the child from making the same mistake and remind her that real strength often hides behind what looks fragile.

At its core, the song celebrates resilience. Louane promises protection but also accepts that falling, crying, and doubting are part of the journey to happiness. She encourages the listener to trust the inner power “that unfolds inside you,” learn from pain, and keep believing in herself. Secret is both a soothing lullaby and a pep-talk, turning vulnerability into a superpower and transforming self-love into an anthem of hope.
