Contrato Barato
 Héctor Lavoe
Cheap Contract
(A la la le le le le le)
(Le le le le)
You’ve got me in a special contract
Signed commitment to your terms
You’ve got me tyrannized by your charms
Meanwhile, you take advantage of my pain
You’ve managed to twist the rules in your favor
You’re 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
In a void of sin
I pretend to be happy
And I’m your slave, God knows
And there’s no light to guide you
And you’ve paid me
With promises of lies
With coins of pain
And with lost faith
But I will appeal to the supreme court
And soon I know
I’ll gain my freedom
But I will appeal to the supreme court
And soon I know
I’ll gain 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’re not worth a dime
(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’re the jury, judge, and prosecutor
(It’s a cheap contract)
And you take advantage of my pain
(It’s a cheap contract)
There are no 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, 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 faith that’s lost
(It’s a cheap contract)
It seems there’s 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 to sin, they lead me
(It’s a cheap contract)
To the supreme I will appeal
(It’s a cheap contract)
To grant me freedom
(It’s a cheap contract)
And I’ll forget about you
(It’s a cheap contract)
And I’ll be able to live in peace
(It’s a cheap contract)
With time, you’ll see
(It’s a cheap contract)
That I’ll be a new man
(It’s a cheap contract)
Without lies, without your games
(It’s a cheap contract)
The contract is void
(It’s a cheap contract)
I want to live my life
(It’s a cheap contract)
