Alex Lacamoire - Breathe lyrics

[PIRAGUA GUY] Sigue andando el camino por toda su vida Respira... [NINA] Breathe. [COMMUNITY] Y si pierdes mis huellas que dios te bendiga Respira. [NINA] 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 breathe... [NINA] Just breathe— [COMMUNITY] Sigue andando el camino por toda su vida Respira— Y si pierdes mis huellas que dios te bendiga Respira— [NINA] As the radio plays old forgotten boleros I think of the days when this city was mine I remember the praise [NINA] “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 [COMMUNITY] Te adoro Te quiero Respira! Respira! [NINA] So what do I say to these faces that I used to know? “Hey, I'm home?” [NEIGHBOR LADY] Mira Nina [NINA] Hey… [COMMUNITY] No me preocupo por ella [NINA] They're not worried about me [COMMUNITY] Mira, allí esta nuestra estrella! [NINA] They are all counting on me to succeed [COMMUNITY] Ella sí da la talla! [NINA] 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. [COMMUNITY] Ah! Ah, aah… Mira Nina Respira… Respira… Ah! [NINA] 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 parents say? [COMMUNITY] Nina… [NINA] Can I go in there and say [COMMUNITY] Nina… [NINA] “I know that I'm letting you down…” [ABUELA CLAUDIA] Nina… [NINA] Just breathe...
