Lyrics
Ladies and gents
Turn down your sound systems
For the sounds of Carlos Santana
And the J&B
It's the product of getaway 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 oh
Maria, Maria, oh
She fell in love in East L.A
To the sounds of a guitar, yeah
Played by Carlos Santana
Stop the looting, stop the shooting
Pig parking on the corner
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 her mailbox there's an eviction letter
Sent by the judge, said see you later
Ahora vengo mama chula, mama chula
Ahora vengo mama chula (East coast)
Ahora vengo mama chula, mama chula
Ahora vengo mama chula (West)
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 oh
Maria, Maria, oh
She fell in love in East L.A
And said it to the sounds of a guitar, yeah
Played by Carlos Santana
Es una favela de colores
The streets are getting hotter
There is no water to put out the fire
Mi gozar esperanza
Se mira Maria on the corner
Thinking of ways to make it better
Then you looked up in the sky
Hoping the days of paradise
Ahora vengo mama chula, mama chula
Ahora vengo mama chula (North side)
Ahora vengo mama chula, mama chula
Ahora vengo mama chula (South side)
Ahora vengo mama chula, mama chula
Ahora vengo mama chula (Worldwide)
Ahora vengo mama chula, mama chula
Ahora vengo mama chula (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
Maria, Maria, oh
She reminds me of a West Side Story
Growing up in Spanish Harlem
She's living the life just like a movie star, oh oh
Maria, Maria, oh
She fell in love in East L.A
To the sounds of a guitar, yeah
Played by Carlos Santana
Carlos Santana
With the J&B
Jimmy London
Mr. Santana
J&B
Yo, Carlos, man
You're making the guitar cry
