Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ah,
J'aimais une fille et Ruby est son nom
Ouais,
Elle ne m'aime plus, mais je redis son prénom
Ah ah ah ah,
Ruby, Ruby
Je n'ai que toi
Je ne veux que toi
Oh, réponds-moi
Ruby, Ruby,
Seras-tu un jour à moi ?

Oh, oh, oh,
Je ne dors plus et je n'ai plus de bonheur
Ruby, Ruby baby,
Depuis que tu es partie pour mon malheur
Ruby, Ruby baby,
Ah, ah, ah, ah,
Tu étais mon soleil et ma joie
Oui mais voilà, tu n'es plus là
Ruby, Ruby,
Seras-tu un jour à moi ?

Yé hé hé
Yé hé, yé hé...

J'aimais une fille et Ruby est son nom
Ouais,
Elle ne m'aime plus mais je redis son prénom
Wo ho ho ho
Je ne peux pas l'oublier
Ni m'empêcher de crier
Ruby, Ruby, moi je t'attendrai





Wo ho ho ho
Yé hé, yé hé...
