Maria Maria lyrics

Ladies and gents

Turn up your sound systems

To the sound of Carlos Santana

And the G&B, it's The Product

Ghetto blues from the Refugee Camp

Oh, Maria, Maria

She remind me of a West Side story

Growin' up in Spanish Harlem

She livin' a life just like a movie star

Oh, Maria, Maria

She fell in love in East L.A.

To the sounds of the guitar, yeah, yeah

Played by Carlos Santana

Stop the lootin', stop the shootin'

Pick-pockin' on the corner

See as the rich is getting richer

The poor is getting poorer

Se mira Maria on the corner

Thinkin' of ways to make it better

In my mailbox there's an eviction letter

Signed by the judge said, "See you later"

Yeah

Ahora vengo mama chula mama chula

Ahora vengo mama chula (East Coast)

Ahora vengo mama chula mama chula

Ahora vengo mama chula (West Coast)

Maria, Maria

She remind me of a West Side story

Growin' up in Spanish Harlem

She livin' a life just like a movie star

Oh, Maria, Maria

She fell in love in East L.A.

I said it to the sounds of the guitar, yeah, yeah

Played by Carlos Santana

I said a la favella, los colores

The streets are getting hotter

There is no water to put out the fire

Ni gota de esperanza

Se mira Maria on the corner

Thinkin' of ways to make it better

Then I looked up in the sky

Hopin' the days of paradise

Ahora vengo mama chula mama chula

Ahora vengo mama chula (North side)

Ahora vengo mama chula mama chula

Ahora vengo mama chula (South side)

Ahora vengo mama chula mama chula

Ahora vengo mama chula (Worldwide)

Ahora vengo mama chula mama chula

Ahora vengo mama chula (Open up your eyes)

Maria, you know you're my lover

When the wind blows, I can feel you

Through the weather and even when we are apart

It still feels like we're together

Maria, oh yeah

She remind me of a West Side story

Growin' up in Spanish Harlem

She livin' a life just like a movie star

Oh, Maria, Maria

Oh, she fell in love in East L.A.

To the sounds of the guitar

Played by Carlos Santana

Put 'em up y'all

Carlos Santana with the Refugee Camp

Wyclef, Jerry Wonda

Mr. Santana, G&B

Yo, Carlos man, you makin' that guitar cry
