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.
Perdóname
Rey Ruiz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
te busco en un mundo azul
mi cumbre de amor eres tu.
Yo, soy solo un atardecer
que envuelto en tu cielo mi bien
se muere igual que el ayer.
Por lo que yo quiero vivir
no importa si piensas de mi
que no te puedo comprender.
Perdoname
por todo lo extraño que soy
quisiera decirte hoy
que sueño poderte alcanzar.
No, tan solo es una ilusion
pues siento que mi corazon
se ahoga en el mar de tu amor.
Y es por ti
por lo que yo quiero vivir
no importa si piensas de mi
que no te puedo comprender.
Perdoname
por todo lo extraño que soy
quisiera decirte hoy
que sueño poderte alcanzar
y es por ti
por lo que yo quiero vivir
no importa si piensas de mi
que no te puedo comprender
perdoname
por todo lo extraño que soy
quisiera decirte hoy
mi sueño es poderte alcanzar
In Rey Ruiz's song "Perdóname", the lyrics reflect the deep yearning and desire for love of the singer. The singer describes the subject of their love as a lost dream, but one that they search for endlessly in a world of blue. The subject is the summit of their love, the highest point that they wish to reach. The singer, on the other hand, characterizes themselves as a mere sunset, a fleeting and temporary moment in time that fades away like yesterday. Despite this, the singer is driven by their love for the subject, and they want nothing more than to reach them.
The singer acknowledges that they may be strange or misunderstood, but they ask for forgiveness for this and hope that the subject will not judge them too harshly. The one thing that motivates them to keep going is their love for the subject, and they are willing to do anything for them. Even though the singer realizes that their dream of being with the subject may just be an illusion, they still hold onto that hope and dream of being able to reach them someday.
Overall, the lyrics of "Perdóname" speak to the universal desire for love and acceptance, and the lengths that one is willing to go through to attain it. It also addresses the fear of being judged and misunderstood by others, but it ultimately encourages the audience to keep pursuing their dreams, no matter how impossible they seem.
