"America"
this song is sung by the Puerto Rican members of the new york culture. anita is specifically the character that is singing about America, and the song expresses her feelings of longing towards returning to Puerto Rico, but on the other hand some of the other members of the group have no such feelings as life back home was plenty more worse than whatever they had to deal with in the states.
"Maria"
Tony is singing very bluntly about his obsession of a girl he has just met and learned the name of. the name of the girl was Maria, as hinted by the title of the song and his continuous mention of that name. his obsession is shown by how he repeats the name. the beauty of the girl he met is also expressed in the song, mentioning "how wonderful a sound can be".
