Ruby
Hector Rivera & His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Et puis elle se fait les mains
Ruby va-t-elle quitter la ville
Lui reste dans son coin
Les ombres sur les murs leur disent
Que le soleil rougit
Ruby, garde ton see?you're ici
Partir à la guerre
Il en revient, alors tends-lui les bras
Comme naguère
S'il a changé, n'a-t-il
Plus rien de l'homme de ta vie
Ruby, garde ton see?you're ici
Je sais, see'est dur d'aimer un homme
En qui tout est brisé
Mais sois patiente et tu verras
Que tout peut s'arranger
Tout comme toi j'ai attendu
Et puis je suis partie
Ruby, garde ton see?you're ici
Ruby s'en va, il voit le ciel
Qui change de couleur
Tout comme il a déjà changé
Maintes fois dans son see?you're
Et see'est prouvé, moi je sais bien
Qu'il peut prendre la vie
Ruby, garde ton see?you're ici
Ruby, garde ton see?you're ici
The song "Ruby" by Hector Rivera & His Orchestra tells a story about a girl named Ruby who is getting ready to leave the town. She puts on makeup, dyes her hair, and does her nails, indicating that she is preparing to start a new phase in her life. Meanwhile, the singer, who remains in his corner, wonders if Ruby will really leave the town. He believes that the shadows on the walls tell them that the sun is blushing, which might suggest that Ruby is having second thoughts about leaving.
The singer then addresses Ruby directly, reminding her that her lover didn't want to go to war in the first place. He's back now, and she should welcome him with open arms as she used to. While it may seem that he has changed after the war, perhaps he still loves her. The singer advises Ruby to be patient and wait because things will eventually fall back into place. The last line of the song, "Ruby, garde ton see-you're ici," refers to the fact that Ruby should stay in the town where her lover resides.
