Maria, Maria
She remind me of a West Side story
Growin′ up in Spanish Harlem
She livin' a life just like a movie star

Oh, Maria, Maria
She fell in love in East L.A
I said it to the sounds of the guitar, yeah, yeah
Played by Carlos Santana

Stop the lootin', stop the shootin′
Pick-pockin′ on the corner
See as the rich is getting richer
The poor is getting poorer

Se mira Maria on the corner
Thinkin' of ways to make it better
In my mailbox, there’s an eviction letter
Signed by the judge said: See you later

Yeah
