Maria, Maria Lyrics
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 L.A.
To the sounds of the guitar, yeah, yeah
Played by Carlos Santana
Stop the looting, stop the shooting
Pick pocking 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
Somebody just said see you later
Ahora vengo mama chola mama chola
Ahora vengo mama chola
Ahora vengo mama chola mama chola
Ahora vengo mama chola
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 vengo mama chola mama chola
Ahora vengo 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 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 L.A.
To the sounds of the guitar, yeah, yeah
Played by Carlos Santana
Stop the looting, stop the shooting
Pick pocking 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
Somebody just said see you later
Ahora vengo mama chola mama chola
Ahora vengo mama chola
Ahora vengo mama chola mama chola
Ahora vengo mama chola
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 vengo mama chola mama chola
Ahora vengo 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

It's about a prostitute, in my opinion.
Maria is on the corner - working the streets thinking of ways to make it better - thinking of ways to get out of the city, which is described in more detail in the verses, to a better life where she doesn't have to resort to the means she is now for a living.
My two cents, anyway.
good song, it's ovious about a girl he notices
I dont think i have to say anything about the meaning, its pretty obvious..as drummer4514 stated..i just want to appreciate the great acoutsic and electric guitar combination played by the guitar virtuso Carlos Santana..he will realy make u move externally and internally...thanks.
ya deepmeanings , u r absolutely right
It's about a girl trying to make a difference.
I think this song is truly amazing and I'm commenting to commend Santana's performance as always. I would also like to mention how disappointed I was upon finding the lyrics to the duet with Seal lyrics are not up as that is a magnificent song as well.

he finds her as an inspiration . . . . shes a dreamer... he finds shes like this diamond in the middle of a troubled surroundings . . . the song also whispers hope of brighter days . . . its a beautiful song. my ex - now my best friend - dedicated it to me .. since my name is maria esperanza
