Breathe

Y si pierdes mis huellas que Dios te bendiga
Respira

This is my street
I smile at the faces
I've known all my life
They regard mewith pride
And everyone's sweet
They say: You're going places
So how can I say
That while I was away
I had so much to hide
Hey guys! It's me
The biggest disappointment you know
The kid couldn't hack it
She's back and she's walking real slow
Welcome home
Just breathe

Sigue andando el camino por toda su vida
Respira

Breathe

Y si pierdes mis huellas que Dios te bendiga
Respira

As the radio plays
Old forgotten Boleros
I think of the day
When this city was mine
I remember the praise
Ay, te adoro, te quiero
The neighborhood waved and said
Nina, be brave and you're gonna be fine
Maybe it's me
But it all seems like lifetimes ago
So what do I say to this faces
That I used to know?
Hey, I'm home?

Mira, Nina

Hey
No me preocupo por ella
They're not worried about me
Mira, ahí está nuestra estrella
They're all counting on me to succed
Ella sí dá la talla

I am the one who made it out
The one who always made the grade
But maybe I should've just stayed home
When I was a child I stayed wide awake
Climbed to the highest place
On every fire scape
Restless to climb
I got every scholarship
Saved every dollar
The first to o to College
How do I tell them why
I'm coming back home
With my eyes on the horizon
Just me with the GWB
Asking: Gee Nina, what will you be?
Straighten the spine
Smile for the neighbors
Everything's fine
Everything's cool
The standard replies
Lots of tests
Lots of papers
Smile, wave goodbye
And pray to the sky: Oh God!
And what will my parents say?
Can I go in there and say
I know I'm letting you down?

Nina

Just
Breathe
