Ho 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
|
Ho 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
|
Maria, you know, you’re my lover
|
When the wind blows, I can feel you
|
Through the weather and even when we’re apart
|
It feels like we’re together |
