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.
Mienteme Otra Véz
Rey Ruiz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dame otra razon para dejarte
Antes de que sea ya muy tarde
Antes de que vuelvas a engañarme
Gritame otra vez, vuelve a insultarme
Pero no me harás sentir culpable
Deja que este amor ya se desangre.
Vete igual que como un día llegaste
No queda nada entre los dos
Solo una amarga sensación
No queda nada del amor
Que un día nos unio, mejor decir adios
Antes que todo se convierta en odio y rencor
No queda nada entre los dos
Ni tan siquiera la atracción
No queda risa ni dolor, el fuego se apago
Jugaste con mi amor
Y ya tu ves aqui no hubo un ganador
Llevate el baúl que tu llenaste
De cotradicciones y desaires
De promesas falsas que inventaste
Vete que se te hace ya muy tarde.
No queda nada entre los dos
Solo una amarga sensación
No queda nada del amor
Que un día nos unió
Mejor decir adios
Antes que todo se convierta
En odio y rencor
No queda nada entre los dos
Ni tan siquiera la atracción
No queda risa ni dolor, el fuego se apagó
Jugaste con mi amor
Y ya tu ves aquí no hubo un ganador
(Miénteme otra vez como haces siempre)
(Dame otra razón para dejarte)
Ya no te creo, tu bien lo sabes
No hace falta que vuelvas a jurarme
(Miénteme otra vez como haces siempre)
(Dame otra razón para dejarte)
Y siempre me decias esto si es amar
Amor con mentiras no hay quien te lo aguante.
(Miénteme otra vez como haces siempre)
(Dame otra razón para dejarte)
Lo que nos pasó a los dos
Tú eres la única responsable
(Miénteme otra vez como haces siempre)
(Dame otra razón para dejarte)
Déjalo que se desangre
Este amor herido no hay quien lo salve
(Miénteme otra vez como haces siempre)
(Dame otra razón para dejarte)
Y yo no regreso contigo
Aunque me lo ruegues o tengas que matarme
The lyrics of the song "Mienteme otra vez" by Rey Ruiz are a lament over a failed relationship. The singer of the song is addressing their former partner, asking them to lie to them one more time as they always do, to give them another reason to leave before it's too late, and before they are betrayed again. The singer is essentially done with the relationship and the lies, and is urging their partner to leave and take their false promises and contradictions with them. The song is a plea for closure before the relationship turns into bitterness and hurt.
The refrain of the song highlights the fact that there is nothing left between the two of them, not even attraction or pain. The love that had brought them together had dissipated, and the fire had gone out. The singer acknowledges that their partner had played with their love, but there was no winner in this game. The relationship has reached a point of no return, and the singer is resolute about not going back, no matter what.
Overall, the song is a poignant reflection on the fragility of love and the need for honesty and closure in a relationship.
