Regálame is a beautiful and evocative word that literally means "gift me" or "give me as a gift." It's a more tender and profound way of asking for something than a simple "dame" (give me).
In "Labios Rotos," Zoé uses it to express a deep longing and vulnerability, asking for a heart and later for "labios rotos" (broken lips) to heal. This word sets a romantic and slightly melancholic tone, making it very enticing.
"Labios Rotos" ("Broken Lips") is a tender love song by Mexican rock band Zoé. The singer asks a lover to hand over their heart and their "broken lips" — a metaphor for a heart bruised by past hurt — so he can kiss them, heal them, and care for them with all his love. The recurring refrain "Es raro el amor" ("Love is strange/rare") captures how love can appear unexpectedly, regardless of distance, time, or age. The bridge extends the healing imagery further: the lover's gaze, tender voice, and hand in his are described as watering "the desert of my soul," promising devotion "for eternity." The song closes by dissolving into a simple, repeated "Amor" ("Love"), letting the word itself carry the song out.
Zoé started in Cuernavaca, Mexico, in 1995 and settled in Mexico City a couple of years later. León Larregui sings and writes most of the songs, backed by Sergio Acosta on guitar, Jesús Báez on keyboards, Ángel Mosqueda on bass and Rodrigo Guardiola on drums. Their sound is rock with a strong psychedelic streak, layered with synths and Larregui's soft, dreamy voice.
The band broke through with "Soñé" and kept the run going with albums like Rocanlover, Memo Rex Commander y el Corazón Atómico de la Vía Láctea and Reptilectric, home to "Locos". Their MTV Unplugged set, Música de Fondo, turned old favourites into stadium singalongs, and Aztlán (2018) won them a Grammy for Best Latin Rock, Urban or Alternative Album. Songs like "Vía Láctea" and "Luna" are still the ones crowds sing loudest.
