Doreen Montalvo - Breathe Lyrics
Official




[ Featuring Rubén Blades, Leslie Grace ]

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" (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 está 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?
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
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
