They began playing in the mid-nineties in Mexico City, as a parody of the glamorous style of many 80's bands like Poison and Mötley Crüe; it began as a side project to the members' original bands, but eventually became quite popular among members of the Mexican alternative scene. With the coming to the mainstream of many underground interests, they became widely popular.

They launched their mainstream debut CD, Resurrección in 2001. This album re-awakened the Mexican feeling for wannabe Pop Rock, and quickly gained popularity with their first single "Márchate Ya" and the later "Isabel". In November 2004 they launched Detector de Metal, whose first single Muriendo Lento featuring female pop singer Belinda, was a huge hit that gave Moderatto massive appeal. Since the launch of Detector de Metal, the band has been giving huge concerts that have been completely sold out in Mexico's most important arenas, like the Auditorio Nacional and Teatro Metropolitan.

Moderatto released a new album at the end 2006 titled ¡GRRRR!. The first single off of ¡GRRRR! is Sentimettal, which in 3 weeks climbed all the way to #3 in the Mexican Top 40.

Despite perceiving themselves as metal, members of the band have received the criticism of some metal fans who said than the band is more pop rock.

Following Sentimettal, Moderatto released their next single, Si Mi Delito Es Rockear (Me Declaro Culpable).

On 2008 the Queremos Rock comes out, it includes 8 songs written by them and 2 covers.

Carisma their last studio album, was released in October 2012. With singles Entrégate and Gracias being a success.

Secreto de Amor
Moderatto Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Te voy a cambiar el nombre
Para guardar el secreto
Porque te amo y me amas
Y a alguien debemos respeto

Te voy a cambiar el nombre
En base a lo que has traído
Ahora te llamaras Gloria

Lo tienes bien merecido

Y hemos de darnos un beso
Encerrados en la luna
Secreto amor te confieso
Te quiero como a ninguna

Y puedo cambiarte el nombre
Pero no cambio la historia
Te llames como te llames
Para mi tu eres la gloria

Eres secreto de amor
Secreto
Eres secreto de amor
Eres secreto de amor
Secreto
Eres secreto de amor

Delante de la gente no me mires
No suspires
No me llames
Aunque me ames
Delante de la gente soy tu amigo
Hoy te digo que castigo
Que dolor, que dolor

Eres secreto de amor
Secreto
Eres secreto de amor
Eres secreto de amor

Te voy a cambiar el nombre
Para guardar el secreto
Porque te amo y me amas
No debo de ser indiscreto

Eres secreto de amor

Y puedo cambiarte el nombre
Pero no cambio la historia
Te llames como te llames
Para mi tu eres la gloria

However, he still wants to express his love by sharing a kiss with her in private. The singer explains that his love interest is his "secreto de amor" (secret love) and no matter what name she goes by, she will always be his love.

The chorus repeats the phrase "eres secreto de amor," emphasizing the hidden nature of their love. The second verse provides more context, as the singer asks his love interest not to acknowledge their relationship in front of others. He speaks of the pain that comes with their love being a secret and how it is a punishment to have to hide their feelings. Despite the pain, the singer affirms that their love will remain strong and will not be changed by the secrecy.

Overall, the song is a plea for understanding and a declaration of love that is struggling to exist in the face of societal norms. Despite the need for secrecy, the singer remains devoted to his love interest and affirms that their love is worth the pain and sacrifice.
