| 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 |
