Maria Maria

Maria Maria
She reminds me of a west side story
Growing up n 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 guitar, yeah
Played by Calos 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 ot make it better
in my mailbox there's an eviction letter
Somebody just said see you later

Ahora vengo mama chola
mama chola

I said a la favela 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

Maria you know you're my lover
When the wind blows I can feel you
Through the weather and even when we're apart
If feels like we're together

Dame tu amor, dame tu amor
