Текст песни Breathe - Mandy Gonzalez

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

Just breathe

As the radio plays
Old forgotten boleros
I think of the days
When the city was mine
I remember the praise
Ay, the 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 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 si da la talla

I am the one who made it out
The one who always made the grade
But maybe I should have 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 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 what will my parent say?
Can I go in there and say
"I know that I'm letting you down,"

Nina

Just breathe
