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.

Tan diferentes
Y a la vez quizás
Tan parecidos
Que, no sé si es que tal vez siempre hemos sido
Tu y yo mi amor
Hipnotizados
Sin ningún pudor
Como dos adolescentes aprendiendo
De la vida
Esa vida que es una oportunidad, ah
Para amar
Ven y abrázame
(Ven y abrázame)
Te consentiré
(Te consentiré)
No hay manzanas prohibidas
Ni escrituras escondidas
Cuando estamos como ahora tú y yo, oh
Ven y bésame
(Ven y bésame)
Envenéname
(Envenéname)
Con el dulce de tu aroma
Las estrellas que se asoman
Para mirarnos
Te las regalo, oh oh
Te las regalo
Era hoy lo sé
Tenía que serlo
Que felicidad
Que nos tenemos
Aunque no somos perfectos lo intentamos
Es lo que sentimos
Y sólo nuestro
Sólo Dios sabrá
A donde vamos
Es mejor seguir así
Ilusionados
Pues la vida
Esa vida que es una oportunidad, ah
Para amar
Ven y abrázame

The song "Regalo" by Rey Ruiz portrays a deep connection between two individuals who are different but share similarities. Throughout the song, the singer expresses his love for the other person and the relationship they have built together. The opening lines emphasize the differences and similarities shared by the couple. They are different yet so similar- a paradox that is the essence of their attraction. The singer is confused about whether they have always been like this or whether it is a recent development.
The chorus invites the other person to embrace and kiss him. The line "no hay manzanas prohibidas, ni escrituras escondidas" (there are no forbidden apples or hidden writings) suggest that their relationship is free of any unnecessary complications. They are happy in each other's company and free from the constraints of society's expectations or beliefs. The singer offers the stars as a gift to the person, indicating that his love for them is strong and transcends materialistic things.
In the second verse, the singer acknowledges that although they are not perfect, they still try to make their love work. They know their flaws and try to overcome them to have a happy relationship. The singer believes that only god knows where their relationship is headed, and it's better to keep believing and enjoying their love.
Overall, the lyrics of "Regalo" convey a sentiment of love and togetherness that is genuine and pure. The song emphasizes the importance of loving and cherishing those we value in our lives, regardless of differences or imperfections.
