Capo 3
Intro
Chorus
Sigue andando el camino por toda
su vida
Respira...
Y si pierdes mis huellas que
dios te bendiga
Bb F (Hold)
Res pi ra.
Verse 1
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...
Chorus
Sigue andando el camino por toda
su vida
Respira...
Y si pierdes mis huellas que
dios te bendiga
Res pi ra.
Verse 2
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?”
Bridge
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 G W B, asking,
“Gee Nina, what’ll you be?"
Verse
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?
Can I go in there and say
“I know that I’m letting you
down”?
Outro
Nina...
Just breathe...
