Song Lyrics

When you see a girl
Walking down the street
You can bet she's fine
You can bet she's sweet
Down in East L.A.
Down in East L.A.

Not too far from the city lights
Latin music fills the night
Down in East L.A.
Down in East L.A.

Cholos hang
In the neighborhood
Standing on the corner
Feeling good
Down in East L.A.
Down in East L.A.

Woah, down in East L.A.
Woah, down in East L.A.
It's a part of the city
But it's more than a place

It's a smile on a face
It's a dream come true
And it's me and you
And we feel it down deep in the soul

And it gives from the young
And it gives to the old
It's the promised land
Where a man can be a man
And his home, yes his home

La gente de aquí son de buen corazón
Y la gente son de buen corazón

So be my friend
And drink some wine
Together we can party all the time
Down in East L.A.
Down in East L.A.

(Woah, down in East L.A.)
(Woah, down in East L.A.)
(Woah, down in East L.A.)
Woah, en Los Angeles vacilando
Vacilando mama, lala lala eh woah
Voy llamando por los bajos
Hablando por los bajos mira
Oye yo canto con los cholos por aquí

(Woah, down in East L.A.)
Mi corazón, mi corazón, mi corazón se quedó
Se quedó, se quedó allí en Los Angeles
Oye ciudad de gente buena
Ciudad de gente sana
Ay de buen corazón, de buen corazón
Ahhh yeah

(Woah, down in East L.A.)
La ganga me conoce, la ganga me conoce
Porque yo soy su amigo, su amigo órale pues
(Woah, down in East L.A.)

Down in East L.A. let me tell you yeah
I got friends in East L.A.
Yes, I do

I wanna thank them, I wanna thank them
For being my friends yeah
And I want to thank you all
For all being my friends

Down in East L.A.
Down in East L.A.
Don't you know, don't you know, don't you know
