oh Maria Maria
She reminds me of a west side story
Growing up in Spanish Harlem
She's living the life just like a movie star
oh Maria Maria
She fell in love in East L.A.
To the sounds of a guitar, yeah,
yeah
Played by Carlos Santana
Stop the looting, stop the shooting
Pick pocking on the corner
See as the rich is getting richer
The poorer in getting poorer
See mi y Maria on the corner
Thinking of ways to marke it better
In my mailbox there's an eviction letter
Somebody just
said see you later
Ahora vengo mama chula mama chula

I said a fella los colores
The streets are getting hotter
Ther is no water to put our the fire

Se mira María on the corner
Thinking of ways to make it better

Hoping of days of paradise
Ahora vengo mama chula mama chula

When the wind blows I can feel you
Through the weather and even
When we're apart
It feels like we're together Maria yeah

Growing up in Spanish Harlem
She's living the life
just like a movie star

She fell in love in East L.A.
To the sounds of a guitar, yeah,
