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
