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

Maria Maria

She fell in love in East LA

To the sounds of a guitar

Yeah, yeah

Maria Maria

She fell in love in East LA

To the sounds of a guitar

Yeah, yeah

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 venga mama chola

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

She fell in love in East LA

To the sounds of a guitar

Yeah, yeah
