Maria Maria (radio Mix) Lyrics - Santana

Ladies and gents 

Turn up this sound system 

To the sound of Carlos Santana 

And the GMB's 

Ghetto blues from the refugee camp 

Oh 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 

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 looting, stop the shooting 

Pick pocking on the corner 

See as the rich is getting richer 

The poor is getting poorer 

Si 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 (East coast) 

Ahora vengo mama chola mama chola 

Ahora vengo mama chola (West coast)

Oh 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 

Oh Maria Maria 

She fell in love in East L.A. 

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 contar 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 (North side) 

Ahora vengo mama chola mama chola 

Ahora vengo mama chola (South side) 

Ahora vengo mama chola mama chola 

Ahora vengo mama chola (World wide) 

Ahora vengo mama chola mama chola 

Ahora vengo 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 are apart 

It still feels like we're together 

Oh Maria, yeah 

She reminds me of a west side story 

Growing up in Spanish Harlem 

She's living the life just like a movie star 

Oh Maria Maria 

Oh, she fell in love in East L.A. 

To the sounds of the guitar, 

Played by Carlos Santana 

Put 'em up y'all 

Carlos Santana with the refugee camp

Mr. Santana 

Yo, Carlos, man you're making that guitar cry!
