Guardaré el secreto pase lo que pase


Explanation:
O te apoyaré/estaré a tu lado para lo bueno y para lo malo.

I need more context, but according to the definitions on my link, it could mean that you're not going to reveal something or that you're going to stand by someone.

Para bien o para mal


Explanation:
Luisa, necesitamos más contexto, "harbor" puede significar "retener, mantener en la mente o guardar para sí.." y un sinfín de cosas. Por lo tanto, podría ser:
Para bien o para mal, retengo...albergo...abrigo...

Un saludo
Jesús
