Intro

We're going to start this with style

I sing the dembow with depth

They say a star, a figure

From Héctor I learned the flavor

Héctor Lavoe was a Puerto Rican salsa singer

I've never seen a jewel so pure

Chorus 1

This is so that it stays, what I do lasts

Too many nights of mischief

I live fast and I don't have a cure

I'll go young to the grave

This is so that it stays, what I do lasts

Too many nights of mischief

I live fast and I don't have a cure

I'll go young to the grave

Verse 1

I put roses on the Panamera

Rosalia said she would like one day to have a Porsche Panamera

I put palms on the guantanamera

'La Guantanamera' is a famous typically Cuban song, to which ROSALÍA adds her Spanish touch

I carry Camarón in the glove box

Camarón de la Isla was a Spanish gypsy singer considered one of the main figures of flamenco. Thus, a great inspiration for Rosalía

I do it for my people and I do it my way

Prechorus 1

Blue flowers and carats

And if it's a lie, let them kill me

Blue flowers and carats

And if it's a lie, let them kill me

Chorus 2

This is so that it stays, what I do lasts

Too many nights of mischief

I live fast and I don't have a cure

I'll go young to the grave

This is so that it stays, what I do lasts

Too many nights of mischief

I live fast and I don't have a cure

I'll go young to the grave

Verse 2

Up here, the winds are strong

Put on your seatbelt and take a seat

I already saw your girl on the inside

Money never wastes time

Against the wall

This references another song that J Balvin has

And I had to buy her a drink because she was thirsty

From here how great it looks

I'm not Sky but I broke the bass again

Prechorus 2

Blue flowers and carats

And if it's a lie, let them kill me

Blue flowers and carats

And if it's a lie, let them kill me

Chorus 3

This is so that it stays, what I do lasts

Too many nights of mischief

I live fast and I don't have a cure

I'll go young to the grave

This is so that it stays, what I do lasts

Too many nights of mischief

I live fast and I don't have a cure

I'll go young to the grave

J Balvin

La Rosalía

Let's go

Let's go, let's get lost

Let's get lost so that there's no doubt

Let's go, let's get lost

I have that dembow

Let's go, let's go, let's go

Let's go, let's get lost

Let's get lost so that

Let's go, let's get lost

I have that dembow

Come on, let's get lost

SONG MEANING

“Con Altura” literally means “with height,” but in street Spanish it really says “with swagger, with style.” In this high-energy reggaeton hit, ROSALÍA teams up with J Balvin and producer El Guincho to celebrate going all-in on life. The lyrics paint a picture of fast cars, glittering jewelry, legendary musical influences and risk-taking nights. ROSALÍA boasts that everything she does “dura” (lasts) while tipping her hat to greats like Héctor Lavoe and Camarón de la Isla, reminding listeners that her modern sound is rooted in classic Latin artistry.

At its core, the song is a joyful flex: we’re young, we’re unstoppable and we’re flying high. The chorus repeats a carefree mantra of living fast with no cure, accepting that they might “go young to the grave”—yet they keep pushing the tempo anyway. The pounding dembow rhythm, playful call-and-response, and vivid images of blue flowers and diamonds all underline a single message: when you step into ROSALÍA’s world, you do it con altura—with confidence, flavor and impossible-to-ignore style.
