2008 Broadway In The Heights the Musical - Breathe Lyrics
Original song "Breathe" from the musical In The Heights is written by Lin-Manuel Miranda.
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
COMMUNITY: Sigue andando el camino por toda su vida. Respira
NINA: Just breathe
COMMUNITY: 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 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?"
LADY: Mira, Nina
NINA: Hey
LADY/COMMUNITY: No me preocupo por ella
NINA: They're not worried about me
COMMUNITY: Mira, alli esta nuestra estrella
NINA: They are all counting on me to succeed I am the one who made it out The one who always made the grade But maybe I should've just stayed home... When I was a child I stayed wide awake, climbed to the highest place, on every fire escape, restless to climb
COMMUNITY: (underneath Nina (above)) Ella si da la talla
COMMUNITY: Repira
NINA: 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?
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...
