Ladies and gents

Turn up your sound systems to the sound of Carlos Santana and the G&B

It's The Product of get-away 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 pock'ing on the corner

See 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 my mailbox there's an eviction letter

Signed 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 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 favela los colores

The streets are getting hotter

There is no water to put out the fire

Ni gota de 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

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 feels like we're together 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

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
