Too blind to see the writing on the wall.

我要倾诉内心的秘密,

有时候藏在心底很难受。

失落使我不知所措,

迷恋使我无从判断。

对此我有深刻体会。

我了解美,因为它曾经温暖过我。

你从未见过的光茫照亮我的内心,

你无法从我内心提取它。

事实就是如此,

如果我将内心的秘密倾诉,

那我是否还有机会?

如果选择离开,

我却没有力量走开很远,

他们是否还会听到我心底的呼唤?

我心中的秘密是否会逐渐消散?

难道我老了吗?

他们怎会听说?他们什么时候听说?

他们怎会知道?

男人可以撒一千个谎,

对此我深有体会。

我想诉说内心的秘密,

它在我内心灼烧。

《倾诉》由麦当娜(Madonna)作词作曲并演唱。这首歌表现的是一位女孩单相思时复杂的心情。她内心的爱已无法掩藏,但是说出来,又怕不被接受。在爱情的火山上,真是举步维艰。

这首歌曲有着一种独特的表现形式,歌词娓娓道来,就像是姑娘内心的独白,初恋时紧张不安的情绪在这首歌中得到了充分的表现。也许这种形式正适合于第一次坠入情网,欲言又止的姑娘,把这首歌演绎得恰到好处。

歌中唱道:“希望我能诉说心中的秘密,它在灼烧我的内心”,这种初恋时要强烈表白的愿望呼之欲出。这首歌曲曲调很优美,像小溪流水,有急有缓,高低起伏变幻。
