[00:08.83] Sigue andando el camino por toda su vida
[00:14.99] Respira...
[00:17.72] Breathe.
[00:18.26] Y si pierdes mis huellas que dios te bendiga
[00:23.54] Respira.
[00:27.37] This is my street
[00:28.96] I smile at the faces
[00:31.24] I’ve known all my life
[00:33.30] They regard me with pride
[00:35.30] And everyone's sweet
[00:36.77] They say, You're going places!
[00:39.40] So how can I say that while I was away
[00:43.22] I had so much to hide!
[00:45.98] “Hey guys, it’s me!
[00:48.93] The biggest disappointment you know.”
[00:53.19] The kid couldn’t hack it
[00:55.13] She’s back and she’s walkin’ real slow
[00:59.46] Welcome home
[01:01.22] Just breathe...
[01:02.22] Sigue andando el camino por toda su vida
[01:07.85] Respira—
[01:09.72] Just breathe—
[01:11.12] Y si pierdes mis huellas que dios te bendiga
[01:16.48] Respira—
[01:17.80] As the radio plays old forgotten boleros
[01:21.93] I think of the days when this city was mine
[01:25.94] I remember the praise
[01:27.71] “Ay, te adoro, te quiero,”
[01:30.30] The neighborhood waved, and
[01:32.40] Said, “Nina, be brave and
[01:34.29] You’re gonna be fine!”
[01:36.65] And maybe it’s me
[01:39.51] But it all seems like lifetimes ago
[01:43.71] So what do I say to these faces
[01:47.00] that I used to know?
[01:49.75] “Hey, I’m home?”
[01:52.50] Mira Nina
[01:55.93] Hey…
[01:56.58] No me preocupo por ella
[01:59.18] They’re not worried about me
[02:01.11] Mira, allí esta nuestra estrella!
[02:06.80] They are all counting on me to succeed
[02:09.72] Ella sí da la talla!
[02:12.43] I am the one who made it out!
[02:17.31] The one who always made the grade
[02:21.46] But maybe I should have just stayed home…
[02:25.53] When I was a child I stayed wide awake
[02:28.52] Climbed to the highest place
[02:30.75] On every fire escape
[02:32.39] Restless to climb
[02:34.35] I got every scholarship
[02:36.41] Saved every dollar
[02:38.37] The first to go to college
[02:40.28] How do I tell them why
[02:42.22] I’m coming back home?
[02:44.84] With my eyes on the horizon.
[02:49.29] Just me and the GWB, asking,
[02:54.12] “Gee Nina, what’ll you be?"
[03:04.87] Straighten the spine
[03:06.62] Smile for the neighbors
[03:08.69] Everything’s fine
[03:10.67] Everything’s cool
[03:12.68] The standard reply:
[03:14.11] “Lots of tests, lots of papers.”
[03:16.54] Smile, wave goodbye
[03:18.18] And pray to the sky, oh, god…
[03:21.74] And what will my parents say?
[03:24.80] Nina…
[03:25.89] Can I go in there and say
[03:27.97] Nina…
[03:29.96] “I know that I’m letting you down…”
[03:36.90] Nina…
[03:42.27] Just breathe...
