Maria, Maria [Santana Cover]

Maria, Maria - Various Artists

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 pocking 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

Somebody just said See you later

Yeah

Ahora vengo mama chola mama chola

Ahora vengo mama chola

East Coast

Ahora vengo mama chola mama chola

Ahora vengo mama chola

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

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

Mi canto la 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 chola mama chola

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're apart

It still feels like we're together

Maria oh yeah 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
