Cat Stevens
Ruby, my love 
Ruby, my love 

You'll be my love 
You'll be my love 

You'll be my sky above 
You'll be my sky above 

Who'll be my light? 
Who'll be my light? 

You'll be my light 
You'll be my light 

You'll be my day and night 
You'll be my day and night 

You'll be mine tonight 
You'll be mine tonight 

Sweet Ruby 
Ruby γλυκιά 

Come again 
Έλα ξανά 

Come again to me
Έλα ξανά κοντά μου

Come in the morning, at dawn 
Έλα πρωί, με την αυγή 

Golden as a sunbeam 
Χρυσή σαν ηλιαχτίδα 

My little Ruby 
Ruby μου μικρή 

Who'll be my love? 
Who'll be my love? 

You'll be my love 
You'll be my love 

You'll be my sky above 
You'll be my sky above 

Ruby, my light 
Ruby, my light 

You'll be my light 
You'll be my light 

You'll be my day and night 
You'll be my day and night 

You'll be mine tonight
You'll be mine tonight

I am a Muslim but I think that Lionel Messi, a Christian, is the best soccer player in history. Religion has nothing to do with this. Do you really think God is going to give special favour to you if you were a famous musician or soccer player? Only ignorant people might stop liking someone based on their religion. Do you dislike your children if they prefer the colour blue over your preference for green. Anyway don't be that person.

sonf od DREAM !!!!!!

Is this bouzouki or mandolin ?

A nutjack for sure, yet touched by pure genius

What Greek person didn't love this?

I always hoped that due to his high brow intellect he would ditch theist religions and become a world inspiration for a world free of religion. Imagine!

We don't need to imagine, it happened in the USSR and China

Brilliant

This can be a 7/4

I love this song! Also, the guitar playing is outstanding!

I love songs in 7/8 rhythm

thats common rythm in Greece and also neighbouring Balkan Countries.

RuByLove,Great sounD.

💕 💕 💕

Sooo schööööööön!!!

Another reason I need to learn Greek

and he faced the East and all was lost

Ωραιος ως Ελλην μεχρι που τουρκεψε και ξεχαστηκε.Αν τον θυμουνται ακομα καποιοι ειναι για τα Τραγουδια του που ειπε ως Cat Stevens και οχι ως Μουσλιμι,που υπογραψε ακομα και αυτην την καταπτυστη την φετβα για τον Σαλμαν Ρουσντι

My ancestoríski would be happístiki (¦

Zorba loves this. A little bit of wine and he could go all night.

His best "deep cut" ever.

My names Ruby😂😅

Wrong title.

This was always my favorite of his songs.

Terry beaton.
He is swedish on his mothers side

+vince derry,
true!

Love this one.. So much joy in Cat Stevens' music

no muslims anymore, Only a free man is creative, only credibility is life

Opa!!!!

Cat Stevens is indeed an ethnic Greek. I wonder if he speaks Greek. It sounds like it here.

He speaks greek in this song, yes! :) with a slightly foreign accent, but pretty amazing overall. :)

I think his mother was Swedish.

Ruby ikia elac sana elac sana
condamur..si su samilia quira
Ruby movi cri.
Fdo. Zorba the greek

Zorba the greek.

7/8 time

Wonderful Cat Stevens, !

mARAVILLOSO

Brilliant song written by a degenerate.

What a Brilliant song love it

i love you Ruby Love

Brilliant song by Cat.

magnificent song.....& its greek essence is what makes it oh so special....the man is a master
& its a pity he is no longer in his original encarnation but still beautiful to listen to....very moving

teaser and the firecat one of the most underrated albums of the seventies.

if you're racking your brain to think of it, it is a bouzouki.

Cat was great...until he sold out to the dark side of Islam and endorsed the fatwah calling for Salman Rushdie's death. That is inexcusable, and to me he died on that day in 1986.

Lol.. wish he didn't convert to islam either! Whyyy

Really he did personally I mean, call for Salman death, are you sure?

Yes, here it is, fucking hell I can't believe this, but it is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YVoChSTlKo

Well, you are right, somehow he died that day. Some fucking islamic demon got him, and got his mind.

well in the In 2000 year, Rolling Stone magazine interview he says:

I'm very sad that this seems to be the No. 1 question people want to discuss. I had nothing to do with the issue other than what the media created. I was innocently drawn into the whole controversy. So, after many years, I'm glad at least now that I have been given the opportunity to explain to the public and fans my side of the story in my own words. At a lecture, back in 1989, I was asked a question about blasphemy according to Islamic Law, I simply repeated the legal view according to my limited knowledge of the Scriptural texts, based directly on historical commentaries of the Qur'an. The next day the newspaper headlines read, "Cat Says, Kill Rushdie." I was abhorred, but what could I do? I was a new Muslim. If you ask a Bible student to quote the legal punishment of a person who commits blasphemy in the Bible, he would be dishonest if he didn't mention Leviticus 24:16

well, so maybe is still alive !

🙏💖 This song always makes me smile!! How sweet & beautiful 😍 Ruby you'll be my day and night aw! Mumma named me after this song ❤

His father would curse the Turks every day so this is all the contribution he made to his musical roots .

He will find Christ b4 his life is over , no chance to leave him lost if he searches , he has spread to much joy to die in ignorance

Very nice!

Afto eine poli orea tragouthi , maresi para poli............... S 'aga po Yusef :-)

Warm Greek sun in foggy England.....Bouzoukia: Andreas Toumazis and Angelos Hatzipavli

Steve Wilmott Andreas Toumazi is my grandad 😊 he was an amazing musician

Absolutely love this song. It is passion itself. Thank you Cat for this thing of beauty! I didn't know what that stringed instrument was until reading the comments. Bouzouki!!!!!!

my name is ruby love.

That's lovely Ruby!

just for you :)

We have the best name in the world it's fair to say!! 💎😍 Was named after this song.. haha do you know who is singing about at all? ❤

Ruby is an awesome name! Not as good as Kris though.

@Giorgos Ouzo Hey man, we have the same name B). Hellenístika pοωεr

That bouzouki almost has a soul, but it all but talks. Bouzouki is a Greek musical instrument. In this song, Cat sings some of the verses in Greek. He is of Greek descent born in England.

writ by Cat Stevens**
born → 21July1948
Marylebone, London, England
(**aka Steven Demetre Georgiou aka Yusuf Islam)

Teaser and the Firecat was a lovely album. One of Cat Stevens' finest works.

Thank you Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens) for this lovely song.

The National Geographic Society had an awesome album about Greek music...long los now. But taught me about the traditions.

I learned Greek because of you, Cat.

wonderful!

Μπράβο!

My favorite song by my Greek love.

great song

Love this Greek song! Bouzouki! Thank you.

Andrew Zourides It's not a Greek song it has a few greek words in the song !!!!! There is a difference.

Love this

if only all the muslem could be like him. love you man.

Oshrit Appelboim Giese -- he called for Salman Rushdie's death in 1986. That is inexcusable.

Love love love!

Love one another in this world leave your differences aside ,reap the good fruits from one another's soul and know that there is extremist followers in all religions that commit despicable crimes and when it comes to Islam know that 98% of it followers are loving people and shouldn't be stigmatized over the 2% lunatics that are major media networks seem to broadcast day and night for some strange mysterious reason and hardly every show the 98% of Muslims that do good in the world . People that go to Muslim rooms and bash on there singers ,artists, actors etc. seriously what are they thinking or better yet are they thinking. PEOPLE THAT COME TO A PEACEFUL ROOM LIKE THIS SHOULD COME TO REST NOT FIGHT.

1972. Like a cool breeze drifting through an olive grove. I bought two LP's in !972 Tea for the Tillerman and Every Picture Tells a Storey. Of course they are both about love but the guitar playing of whatever his name is, is, fantastic.

Likewise Tea for Tillerman was my 1st album I purchase and I've been big fan ever since.

I suscribe to your words

really surprised how a Greek boy turned to Islam..probably as a reaction/revenge to his father..they had a bad relationship from what I read about his childhood.

@stevebenbob read his bio

+Nick Greek why wouldn't a greek boy become muslim? islam is a universal religion. not ethnicity.

You 're right..stupidity has no borders.

The 3 major monotheistic religions on this planet are Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. That's why that segment of the Middle East where these religions originated is called the Holy Land. The three of them believe in the same God and that there is only one God.

yuss and he is an old geezer with a white beard, God that is, mind you I am an old geezer with a white beard too must be made in God"s own image could be that I made God in my own image . Are you a believer Ralph?

anyone know the guitar tabs for the first 10 seconds?

pexto vre !

YUSUF ISLAM SHOULD BE CRYING NOW FOR WHAT OTHERS ARE DOING IN THE ISLAM.

+ra rara You can find trash in every house only some people forget that they have trash in their own homes .

Get ya Greek on Cat :D BEAUTIFULL SONG

Wonderful song.

I don't care about his religion, but I love his 1970s stuff! RUBYLOVE is so, SO GREAT

Agree. Live and let live and learn to DETACH and ENJOY by artists you may not "agree" with. the world is not all "Wonder White Bread" (that pasty bread we grew up with)

Cat Stevens has best songs, love Ruby.

I want to DANCE..........what Greek doesn't ?

ma tendre jeunesse merci!!!!

IS he now on that "Religion of Peace" train? Would he do USO 4 ISIS?

I love rubylove

what a voice.. i love the song father and son...

he was good until he chose a false religion

He found peace that way, so you probably should just let him be happy; he's not doing anybody any harm. :P

Thin man is so original, nobody sounds like him.  love this song.

Keanu rives. Feliz cumpleaños.

That part where he sings in Greek....sublime.

Oh boy. It was the picture in this album that did it for me.  MARRY ME!  I'll give you anything you want, as long as you don't cut that hair!  Alas.  I was thirty years too late.  I go looking for Cat Stevens, and find out he's now Yusuf Islam.  Dammit! But Muslims can have four wives....heh, heh, heh...there's still a chance, even if he's now an old dude with glasses...

I think you may have to get in the queue...

open E fantastic

Beautiful..beautiful..beautiful !!! I love so much this song with  Greek  words  and sweet melody!!!! Every Cat Yusuf's song it's a precious pearl,a masterpiece and  he it's great when he sings  sweet songs, as when he sings rok songs! He and his music are pure magic!!!!!!

Ruby Love moves me every single time - very special melody with sweetest lyrics.
I'd love to see a rebirth of his wonderful music and perhaps some new music to continue celebrating his genius.

I love this song and I quite like some greek music. If you enjoy this you might well like Xaris & Panos Katsimixas, twin brothers from athens who make a nice mix (no pun intended) of greek music and rock. kalinichta.

Go Cat!!!
μπραβο μεγαλε!

Love this gorgeous feel good song!!! I want to be on a Greek Island, looking at the Med, and feeling the hot Sun on my skin!!!

I'm Italian and I love this song and the whole Greek folk music! But I must say that Cat Stevens is a genius, practically all his songs are masterpieces... beginning with "Father & Son".

Peter Parisiu

Beautiful song in a rare 7/8 metric!

Kalamatianos dance!! Same rhythm as the Sirtos. GORGEOUS.

very nice song, Cat Stevens songs are so soft and light !

I like Greek song !!!

Been listening for almost 40 years and he has total lasting power.  I have loved his music since I was 10...so touching- so cutting, so sad and so happy. 

gei sou !

merci , thank you !

Marvelous greek sounds.

qué bonita qué alegre!!
