Lyrics Breathe - Lin-Manuel Miranda

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 walking real slow

Welcome home
Just breathe

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 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"

And 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 succeed
Ella sí da 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 escape
Restless to climb
I got every scholarship
Saved every dollar
The first to go 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'll 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? (Nina)
Can I go in there and say (Nina)
I know I'm letting you down!

Nina!
Just breathe
