Breathe (feat. Rubén Blades & Doreen Montalvo)

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 Nina) 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 days when the city was mine I remember the praise, "Ay, te adoro, te quiero" (te adoro) The neighborhood waved and said "Nina, be brave and you're gonna be fine" (te quiero, respira) And maybe it's me But it all seems like lifetimes ago (respira) 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 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 I'm coming back home? (Respira) With my eyes on the horizon Just me and 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 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
