Rey Ruiz performed in the well known "Cabaret Tropicana" music group. During a Cabaret Tropicana tour in the Dominican Republic, Ruiz defected, leaving the group to join some friends in the United States. With the help of his aunt, Martina, he was able to reach Miami, FL. He owes his life in the US to his aunt and it is in Miami, where he found success. Once established there, Ruiz began to gain fame as a solo salsa singer.
It took Ruiz three years after he arrived in the United States for him to release his first CD. The self-titled "Rey Ruiz" was produced by Sony Records and it earned Ruiz celebrity in such places as Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Panama and Venezuela. The album also earned Ruiz a number of billboard and Premios Lo Nuestro awards, and it was a platinum album. Rey Ruiz was named the "salsa singer of the year" for 1993 by a prestigious salsa music magazine.
Ruiz's initial success as a singer translated into small screen success as well, as he was hired by Pepsi, Miller beer and his studio company, Sony, to film commercials announcing their brand. Ruiz's second album was a various artists' compillation dedicated to salsa singers from the 1960s and 1970s. The tribute album was named "Los Soneros de Hoy". loosely translated into "Today's (salsa) performers".
Also in 1993, Ruiz released his second album. "Mi Media Mitad" ("My Other Half") was a large hit in the United States and in Europe, once again, making the Billboard hits list in the States, and topping the European charts. "Mi Media Mitad" became Ruiz's second consecutive platinum album, and it helped make Ruiz popular in Colombia as well, with a single, "Si te Preguntan" ("If They Ask You") becoming a major hit song. Soon after that album's release, Ruiz made his debut at New York's Madison Square Garden.
Ruiz's third album, "En Cuerpo y Alma" ("Body and Soul"), was released in 1995. This was Ruiz's third platinum album in a row; his songs "Estamos Solos" ("We Are Alone") and "Vuelve de Nuevo Conmigo" ("Return Once Again With Me") were international hits, and many salsa experts consider this album to be Ruiz's most important release.
In 1996, with the collaboration of famed Colombian songwriter Omar Estefano and of Ricardo Quijano, Ruiz released his fourth consecutive platinum album, named "Destino" ("Destiny"). One of the most publicly acclaimed songs in that album was "Miénteme Otra Vez" ("Lie to me Again").
His next album, 1997's "Porque es Amor' ("Because it is Love") failed to have the commercial success Ruiz's four previous releases had, ending Ruiz's streak of platinum albums at four. It did, however, contain three major hit songs, including the title song, as well as "Mi Angel" ("My Angel") and "Tú no Sabes" ("You Don't Know").
In 1998, Ruiz released a greatest hits CD, named "Exitos del Rey" ("Rey's Hits", a name which can also be interpreted as "The King's hits", since Rey means king in Spanish). By then, Ruiz owned a recording company; his next album, "Ya Ves Quien Soy" ("Now You See Who I Am"), becoming one of the first CD's to be released by Ruiz's Luna Negra ("Black Moon") record label. Years earlier, Ruiz incorporated his production company in Puerto Rico, by the same name, Luna Negra productions, with the help of his ex-fiance (former Sony Music A&R rep) and then business manager.
"Ya Ves Quien Soy" was another commercial success for Ruiz, particularly in Brazil. Ruiz collaborated with Brazilian singer José Augusto in this album, when the pair recorded a duet song, "Siempre Mía" ("Always Mine").
In 2000, Ruiz joined the Bohemia Records label, releasing "Fenomenal" ("Phenomenal") under that label. In 2004, he released Mi Tentacion.

Rey Ruiz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que te has pasado la vida engañando al corazón
Dicen que tus ojos nunca lloran
Y que tú no te demoras, en besar con emoción
Dicen que mi amor es un espejismo
Que a veces me da lo mismo cuanto me puedan amar
Pero nadie sabe que tus manos
Hicieron de me pasado un tiempo para olvidar
Como si fuera amor
Apareciste en mi puerta
Y yo que estaba dispuesta a brindarte mi pasión
Como si fuera amor te entregué mis madrugadas
Sin pedir a cambio nada solamente tu calor
Dicen que tu amor es una aventura
Que el mío es una locura, pero al final es amor, es amor
Dicen que tu amor es una aventura
Me está matando matando de dolor
Me regala alegría luego me dices adiós
Dicen que tu amor es una aventura
Dicen por aquí, dicen por allá
Dicen que dicen que dijo, y no dicen nada
Dicen que tu amor es una aventura
Dicen que tu amor es una aventura
Dicen que tu amor es una aventura
Tu amor es un locura, tu vez
Dicen que tu amor es una aventura
The lyrics of “Dicen” by Rey Ruiz talk about the rumors surrounding the love that the singer and his partner share. According to the rumors, his partner’s love is a lie, and she has spent her whole life deceiving her heart. Her eyes never cry, and she kisses with no emotion. On the other hand, people say that his love is a mirage, and he doesn't care much about how much he is loved. But what people don’t know is that his partner’s hands have made him forget his past, helping him move on.
The chorus of the song talks about how their love is different, how they can't be categorized as a normal couple. His partner's love is an adventure, and his love is madness, which ultimately leads to love. But these rumors are causing them pain, and they continue to hear whispers behind their backs. Even though their love is unique, they find it hard to ignore the rumors and enjoy their relationship fully.
Overall, the song “Dicen” by Rey Ruiz speaks about the struggles a couple faces when people around them spreading rumors and gossip about their love. They are happy with each other, but the voices around them create distractions that prevent them from fully embracing their love.
