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 ↴
Con estas ganas locas de decirte lo que siento
Vengo
A desahogarme como lo he querido de hace tiempo
Me gusta ver esa cara tan linda
No te imaginas a lo que me incita
Esa sonrisa que es mi vitamina
Tengo (tengo)
En mi cabeza cada parte tuya en movimiento
Pienso (pienso)
Que tu cintura puedo dibujarla con mis besos
Si tú me dieras tan solo una chispa
Pare encender el fuego en la conquista
Y ser el hombre que a ti te domina
Todo el cuerpo
Déjame besarte muy lento
Déjame robarte el aliento
Déjame adorarte
Déjame quererte
Déjame robarte el corazón
Miento
Si digo que no quiero estar contigo todo el tiempo
Tiemblo
Cuando me miran esos ojos tuyos que dan miedo
Yo quiero ser lo que tú necesitas (eso quiero ser)
En tu cerebro ser lo que te excita (ser lo que te excita)
Ser el deseo justo a tu medida
Solo espero
Déjame besarte muy lento
Déjame robarte el aliento
Déjame adorarte
Déjame quererte
Déjame robarte el corazón
Mi vida
Es que yo te quiero
(Déjame)
Déjame (por favor)
Sí, sí
Déjame darte el momento
Que hace tiempo llevo dentro, corazón
(Déjame)
Ay, déjame (por favor)
Quiero que me des el tiempo
Que hace falta para darte todo mi amor
(Déjame)
Pero vuelvo y te lo pido, pero (por favor)
¡Ay! Cuando me miran esos ojos tuyos
Pienso y me dan mucho, mucho miedo
¡Fenomenal!
Me gustas porque tú tienes lo que busco en una mujer como tú
(Vengo a darte mi amor, dame tu corazón)
Linda, cuídame la vida, eso quiero yo
(Vengo a darte mi amor, dame tu corazón)
Y tenerte cerca siempre es mi ilusión
(Vengo a darte mi amor, dame tu corazón)
¡Dame!
(Vengo a darte mi amor)
¡Suénala!
¡Eso es!
(Vengo a darte mi amor)
The song Vengo by Rey Ruiz is a beautiful expression of love and desire. The singer comes to his beloved, with an intense emotion to pour out what he feels for her. He describes her smile as his vitamin, and he can see every move she makes in his mind. He wants to conquer her with the fire of his love, and if she gives him the chance, he wants to be the one to dominate her body.
The lyrics are full of passion and vulnerability, as the singer confesses that he trembles when he looks into her eyes. He wants to be everything she needs, everything that excites her, and everything she desires. He wants to take every breath away from her and capture her heart.
The chorus of the song is a plea to the beloved to let him love her slowly, to let him steal her breath, adore her, and make her his own. He asks her to give him the time he needs to love her with all his heart.
Overall, the song is a beautiful tribute to love, passion, and the desire to be loved and accepted by the one we cherish.
