Maria Maria Lyrics - Singles - Carlos Santana

Ladies and gents 

Turn up your sound system to the 

Sound of Carlos Santana and the GMB (Surprada) 

Ghetto people, from the Refugee Gang 

Oh Maria Maria 

She reminds me of a West Side Story 

Growing up in Spanish Harlem 

She 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 

Played by Carlos Santana 

Stop the looting, stop the shooting 

Pick pocking on the corner 

See as the rich is getting richer 

The poorer is getting poorer 

See mi y 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 chula mama chula 

Ahora vengo mama chula (East coast) 

Ahora vengo mama chula mama chula 

Ahora vengo mama chula (West coast) 

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. 

I said to the sounds of the guitar, yeah 

Played by Carlos Santana 

I said a la fella los colores 

The streets are getting hotter 

There is no water to put out the fire 

Mi cosa 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 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 (World wide) 

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 feels like we're together 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 

Played by Carlos Santana 

Puttin them up yo 

Carlos Santana with the refugee gang 

Wyclef, Jerry my dawg, Mr Santana, GMB 

Yo Carlos you makin' that guitar cry
