Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Con La Cara En Alto by Reik from Spanish to English.

I know that it hurts so much to remember

That you feel like crying

But I don't want to talk while looking at your back

We only have a little bit left

The story is about to end

And I don't want to think that it meant nothing to us

There was nothing that loved me as much

Now I clearly understand how much

Let's finish this love with our heads held high

For those days

Full of dreams

For the smiles

That won't come back

For that kiss

That was about to kill

Let's be sane, for a moment

For the memories

I know that life will go on here

That someone else will find you

And that what we had will be a trace of the past

Come

There's so much that wasn't right

And only for one last time

Let's fake life, that this isn't over yet

There was nobody that loved me so much

Now I clearly understand how much

Let's finish this love with our heads held high

For those days

Full of dreams

For the smile

That won't come back

For that kiss

That was about to kill

Let's be sane, for a moment

For the memories

For those days

Full of dreams

For the smile

That won't come back

For that kiss

That was about to kill

Let's be sane, for a moment

For the memories

SONG MEANING

Con La Cara En Alto by Mexican trio Reik is a heartfelt goodbye song that turns the end of a relationship into a moment of courage. Instead of pointing fingers or drowning in sadness, the singers ask their partner to face them, acknowledge the good times, and part “with heads held high.” The lyrics remember dreams, smiles, and even a kiss that almost “killed” them, all while accepting that life will go on and new loves will come.

In this emotional snapshot, Reik balances nostalgia with maturity. They admit the pain of letting go, yet insist on one last burst of sanity: honor the memories, recognize how deeply they loved each other, and close the chapter with dignity. It is a song about ending well—celebrating what was beautiful while bravely stepping into whatever comes next.
