Con La Cara En Alto Lyrics in English Reik

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Con La Cara En Alto by Reik from Spanish to English.
I know it hurts so much to remember
That you feel like crying
But I don't want to talk looking at your back
We only have a little left
The story is about to end
And I don't want to think that it was all for nothing
There was nothing that loved me so much
Now I clearly understand how much
Let's end 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, just 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 just for the last time
Let's pretend that life, this hasn't ended yet
There was no one that loved me so much
Now I clearly understand how much
Let's end 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, just 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, just a moment
For the memories
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.
