Intro: 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 Maria Maria She fell in love in East L.A. To the sounds of the 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 poor is getting poorer Se mira Maria on the corner Thinking of ways to make it better In my mailbox there’s an eviction letter Somebody just said see you later Ahora vengo mama chola mama chola Ahora vengo mama chola Ahora vengo mama chola mama chola Ahora vengo mama chola I said a la favella los colores The streets are getting hotter There is no water to put out the fire Mi canto la esperanza Se mira Maria on the corner Thinking of ways to make it better Then I looked up in the sky Hoping of days of paradise Ahora vengo mama chola mama chola Ahora vengo mama chola Bridge: Maria you know you’re my lover When the wind blows I can feel you Through the weather and even when we’re apart Ending:
