Sigue andando el camino por toda su vida
Respira
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 me with 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 walkin' real slow
Welcome home
Just breathе
Sigue andando el camino por toda su vida
Respira
Just breathe
Y si pierdes mis huellas que dios te bendiga
Respira
As the radio plays old forgotten boleros
I think of the days when this city was mine
I remember the praise
Ay te adoro te quiero te adoro
The neighborhood waved
And said nina be brave te quiero
And you're gonna be fine respira
And maybe it's me respira
But it all seems like lifetimes ago
So what do I say to these 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 allí esta nuestra estrella
They are all counting on me to succeed
Ella sí da la talla
I am the one who made it out ah
The one who always made the grade
But maybe I should have just stayed home mira nina
When I was a child I stayed wide awake
Climbed to the highest place
On every fire escape
Restless to climb respira
I got every scholarship
Saved every dollar
The first to go to college
How do I tell them why respira
I'm coming back home ah
With my eyes on the horizon
Just me and the gwb
Asking gee nina what'll you be
Straighten the spine smile for the neighbors
Everything's fine everything's cool
The standard reply lots of tests lots of papers
Smile wave goodbye and pray to the sky oh God
And how do I dare to say
Nina
Can I go in there and say
Nina
I know that I'm letting you down
Nina
Just breathe
