Contrato Lyrics (English Translation) – Maluma

[Intro]
Oh my love
Your Maluma, baby, m*mmy
Why so lost, then?
She says

[Chorus]
I haven’t heard from you for a while
I haven’t wanted to go out for a while
If I’m at the disco, I hate it
‘What a ba*tard that I’m still thinking about you

[Verse]
But, baby, it’s worse with drinks
Because without wanting to, I call you
How bad it is for me to pretend that I don’t miss you
And in other lips I end up searching, searching for you
I look for you wherever, on the lips of all my friends
And I can’t take him down to the arrechera
It makes me desperate not to be able to have you my way
While with another you walk through the Lleras
I’m lost looking for you in the bottle
The ex-mother-in-law told me that you
He’s going out with a couple of pirobos
Let’s see if you forget about this baby

[Pre-Chorus]
Hey, let’s lower the tension and climb the balcony, let’s dance another while
I want to start from scratch, forget about everything and renew the contract
And if they have seen me at a party, it was to look for you and I can’t find the replacement
Don’t worry, let’s go step by step, oh-oh

[Chorus]
I haven’t heard from you for a while
I haven’t wanted to go out for a while
If I’m at the disco, I hate it
‘What a ba*tard that I’m still thinking about you

[Interlude]
No, sissy, you know what? Health
Let’s toast today to that love
And as the old man says
Easy Come Easy Go
Cheers, guys
So be it
Maluma, baby

[Pre-Chorus]
Hey, let’s lower the tension and climb the balcony, let’s dance another while
I want to start from scratch, forget about everything and renew the contract
And if they have seen me at a party, it was to look for you and I can’t find the replacement
Don’t worry, let’s go step by step, oh-oh

[Chorus]
I haven’t heard from you for a while
I haven’t wanted to go out for a while
If I’m at the disco, I hate it
‘What a ba*tard that I’m still thinking about you

[Outro]
Says
Da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da
Da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da
Da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da
Pa-pa-pam, pam-pam, pam-pam
Maluma, ba-ba-baby, mua

[Intro]
In the opening lines, Maluma addresses his former lover with terms of endearment, expressing both affection and confusion. He wonders aloud why they are now so distant, reflecting a sense of longing and a desire to understand what went wrong in their relationship.

[Chorus]
The chorus captures Maluma’s emotional state following the breakup. He confesses to feeling disconnected and withdrawn, admitting that he hasn’t been able to enjoy himself or engage in social activities since they parted ways. The mention of hating the disco and still thinking about his ex despite trying to move on underscores the depth of his emotional struggle.

[Verse]
This verse delves into the depths of Maluma’s heartache and regret. He acknowledges that alcohol exacerbates his pain, leading him to impulsively reach out to his ex even when he knows it’s futile. His constant search for her presence in others, even among his friends, highlights the intensity of his longing. The mention of “arrechera,” a Colombian slang term for frustration or anger, illustrates his emotional turmoil and his inability to have things his way. Learning of his ex’s new relationship intensifies his desperation, further complicating his attempts to heal and move forward.

[Pre-Chorus (1st)]
Here, Maluma shifts to a plea for reconciliation. He suggests lowering the tension between them, metaphorically inviting her to “climb the balcony” and dance together once more. His desire to start afresh and “renew the contract” symbolizes his hope for a second chance at their relationship. Despite his efforts to distract himself at parties, he admits that his search for her is relentless, indicating that his feelings for her remain strong.

[Chorus]
This repetition of the chorus emphasizes the ongoing impact of the breakup on Maluma. Despite his efforts to distract himself and move on, he finds himself constantly reminded of his ex-lover, struggling to reconcile his emotions and find closure.

[Interlude]
In this brief interlude, Maluma adopts a lighter tone, suggesting a toast to their past love. His reference to the saying “Easy Come Easy Go” acknowledges the transient nature of relationships and the inevitability of both love and loss. This moment of reflection and acceptance adds a nuanced layer to his emotional journey.

[Pre-Chorus (2nd)]
The second pre-chorus mirrors the first, emphasizing Maluma’s persistence in wanting to rebuild their relationship. He reiterates his commitment to taking things step by step, reassuring his ex that he is serious about their reconciliation. His continued search for her presence at gatherings reflects his unwavering hope for a reunion, despite the challenges they face.

[Chorus]
Again, the chorus reinforces Maluma’s emotional turmoil and longing. His inability to move on is palpable, as he confesses that thoughts of his ex still consume him, preventing him from fully enjoying his life post-breakup.

[Outro]
The song concludes playfully with ad-lib sounds from Maluma, showcasing his charismatic persona. The repeated “da-da-da” and “pa-pa-pam” add a rhythmic and melodic touch, while his closing mention of “Maluma, ba-ba-baby, mua” underscores his affectionate and playful nature. This outro serves as a musical farewell, leaving listeners with a lingering sense of Maluma’s heartfelt emotions and his hope for love renewed.

1. Oh my love
Maluma expresses deep affection towards his former lover, showing a longing and emotional attachment that remains despite their separation.

2. What a ba*tard that I’m still thinking about you
Maluma acknowledges his struggle to move on from his ex-partner, feeling frustrated and conflicted by his lingering feelings.

3. It’s worse with drinks
Alcohol intensifies Maluma’s emotions, making him more vulnerable to thoughts of his ex and prompting regretful late-night calls.

4. Renew the contract
Maluma desires to reconcile and start fresh with his ex-lover, symbolizing a wish to rebuild their relationship on better terms.

5. Easy Come Easy Go
Reflecting on the transient nature of relationships, Maluma acknowledges that love can be fleeting and acceptance of its impermanence is necessary.

6. Da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da
Ending the song playfully, Maluma uses rhythmic sounds and expressions of affection (“Maluma, ba-ba-baby, mua”) to add a light-hearted touch to his heartfelt lyrics.
