[Cristina Vee - Breathe From ”In the Heights” lyrics]
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 breathе
Sigue andando el camino por toda su vida
Respira
Y si piеrdes 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
Te adoro te quiero respira! 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 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
And pray to the sky, oh, god
And what will my parents say?
Nina can I go in there and say
Nina "I know that I'm letting you down"
Nina just breathe
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 breathе
Sigue andando el camino por toda su vida
Respira
Y si piеrdes mis huellas que dios te bendiga
Respira
As the radio plays old forgotten boleros
I think of the days when this city was mine

"Ay, te adoro, te quiero, "
