As a teenager his family moved to Puerto Rico where Ray sang with local groups in Mayaguez, including Orquestra La Justicia & Orquestra La Dictadora with Frankie Ruiz. In 1977 he returned to New York where he sang and recorded with "Orquestra Sociedad 76" with Johnny Zamot and was part of that band for four years and recorded three albums. In early 1983 he worked with Adalberto Santiago. He left the music scene from 1984 thru the middle of 1988 where he joined forces once again with percussionist Johnny Zamot and formed the group "Johnny & Ray" Salsa Con Clase. The first album "Salsa Con Clase featured the hit singles "Mascarada", Margarita and a few more. The second "Johnny & Ray" production included the hit single "Bandolera". His solo career started in 1991 with the album titled "Un Poquito Mas" produced by "Sergio George" under the Sony/RMM Record Label. His Con Sabor also produced by Sergio George reached the Latin Billboard charts in 1993. In 1994 "Llegaste Tu" , produced by Julito Alvarado and recorded in Puerto Rico, 1997 "De Todo Un Poco", produced by Ricky Gonzalez[1] and he returned in 1999 with another hit single, "Eres" in a production titled "Salsabor" which by the way is his trademark.

Ray Sepulveda Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que no es posible mi amor amor
Y ahora que vayas mi amor amor
Y que me digas que lo nuestro terminó
Si tú te vas
No pasarán las horas, ya no saldrá la luna
Si tú me dejas solo
Se apagará mi llama, me matará el silencio
No habrá nada nada
Y ahora no huyas, acercate
Y que ha pasado, dame un porque
Te quiero tanto mi amor amor
No tengas miedo, que no te guardo rencor
Si tú te vas
No pasarán las horas, ya no saldrá la luna
Si tú me dejas solo
Si tú te vas
Se apagará mi llama me matará el silencio, no habrá nada de nada
Si tú te vas mi amor
Se apagará mi llama, me moriré de dolor
Si tú te vas mi amor
Como es posible que digas que lo nuestro termino
Si tú te vas mi amor
Si tú te vas solo solito me quedaré
Si tú te vas mi amor
A nadie más yo querre a nadie más amaré
Si tú te vas mi amor
Cerraré las puertas al amor y nunca más abriré
Ay no te vayas mi nena
No te vayas
De tristeza lloraré ya no habrá nada de nada
No te vayas
Yo seguiré con mi llanto pues mi pena no se acaba
No te vayas
Mami no te vayas no, no te me vayas quédate
No te vayas
The lyrics of Ray Sepulveda's song "Mi Amor Amor" express a profound sense of love and longing, as the singer pleads with his lover not to leave him. The opening lines "Te quiero tanto mi amor amor, que no es posible mi amor amor" convey the depth of his feelings, which transcend any rational explanation or understanding. He is voicing his utter devotion and love that is limitless, and which cannot be contained. However, this love is threatened by the possibility that his lover might leave him, and as he imagines this scenario, he becomes consumed by despair and isolation.
The refrain of "Si tú te vas" is repeated multiple times, conveying the singer's fear and desperation. He believes that if his lover were to leave him, time would stop and everything would become meaningless. His pain is so intense that he imagines that his flame would be extinguished, and he would be killed by the silence. He turns to his lover, asking her to come closer and explain why she is leaving. He has no anger or resentment towards her, only deep sadness and hurt. The song ends on a note of desperation, as he begs her not to leave him and expresses his despair at the possibility of being left alone.
