breathe - lin-manuel miranda 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…
