Not just any secrets, though, but the singular top secret in particular.

An interesting translation question of "top secret" used as a phrase here, as in "Top Secret", by a translator looking for "Confidential" or similar English relative word, or if it is a matter of "top" as in biggest/most important single secret.

Also, yes, it took the English language many years to come up with the pithier "Loose lips sink ships".
