Ho maria maria
She reminds me of a west side story
Growing up in spanish harlem
Shes 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 theres 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 youre my lover
When the wind blows I can feel you
Through the weather and even when were apart
It feels like were together
