Ho Maria Maria,
She reminds me of a west side story, Growing up in Spanish Harlem,
She뭩 living her life just like a movie star,
2-Ho Maria Maria She fell in love in East L.A.
To the sounds of the guitar, yeah, yeahPlayed by Carlos Santana
[Wyclef]
Stop the looting, stop the shooting, Pick pocking on the corner,
See as the rich is getting richer, The poor is getting poorer
3-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
[Santana]
4-Ahora vengo mama chola mama chola,
Ahora vengo mama chola
Repeat 4
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
Repeat 1 Repeat 2
Repeat 3 Repeat 4
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.
