Contrato Barato
Héctor Lavoe
Cheap Contract
(A la la le le le le le)
(Le le le le)
You have me in a special contract
Signed commitment to your condition
You have me tyrannized with your charms
Meanwhile, you take advantage of my misfortune
You have managed to bend the rules in your favor
You are the prosecutor, jury, and judge of my life
And I can't control your tyranny
Being just another slave to your wickedness
Your white magic is a spell
And it confuses me
It has moments of illusion
But it sinks me
Into a void of sin
I pretend to be happy
And I am your slave, God knows
And there is no light to guide you
And you have paid me
With promises of lies
With coins of pain
And with lost faith
But I will appeal to the supreme court
And very soon I know
I will obtain my freedom
But I will appeal to the supreme court
And very soon I know
I will obtain my freedom
(It's a cheap contract)
(Say it, Luis!)
(It's a cheap contract)
(It's a cheap contract)
(It's a cheap contract)
Contract not renewed
(It's a cheap contract)
You are not worth a penny anymore
(It's a cheap contract)
Your spell confuses me
(It's a cheap contract)
You have moments of illusion
But you sink me
(It's a cheap contract)
In vice, chained
(It's a cheap contract)
And condemned to death
(It's a cheap contract)
You are the jury, judge, and prosecutor
(It's a cheap contract)
And you take advantage of my misfortune
(It's a cheap contract)
There are no more pleasant moments
(It's a cheap contract)
Only nightmares
(It's a cheap contract)
You take over my mind
(It's a cheap contract)
White magic, of cheap style
Your promise was a lie
(It's a cheap contract)
You throw me to the ground
(It's a cheap contract)
And the lost faith
(It's a cheap contract)
It seems there is no way out
(It's a cheap contract)
Your chains punish me
(It's a cheap contract)
They drive me crazy, they condemn me
(It's a cheap contract)
And lead me to sin
(It's a cheap contract)
I will appeal to the supreme
(It's a cheap contract)
To grant me freedom
(It's a cheap contract)
And I will forget about you
(It's a cheap contract)
And I will be able to live in peace
(It's a cheap contract)
With time, they will see
(It's a cheap contract)
That I will be a new man
(It's a cheap contract)
Without deceit, without your games
(It's a cheap contract)
The contract is invalidated
(It's a cheap contract)
I want to live my life
(It's a cheap contract)
