in the heights (original cast recording) – breathe lyrics

Loading...

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 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 days 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 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, alli esta nuestra estrella

they are 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 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
ane pray to the sky, oh god…
and what will my parents say?
can i go in there and say
“i know that i’m letting you down…”

nina…
just breathe…
