Cantando 50 Cosas Sobre Mi Lyrics in English David Rees

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Cantando 50 Cosas Sobre Mi by David Rees from Spanish to English.
I feel that you barely know me
I sense that at least you know my name
And that I sing songs
I introduce myself then
My name's David
And these are 50 things about me
In school I hated history
And loved math
My dream since I was little was to work in my own optical store
I collect old cameras
And I suffer from atopic dermatitis
I love going out partying, spicy food, and surprises
I hate going shopping, getting up early, and my dark circles
I detest that they don't take me seriously
I prefer cats to dogs
I want to learn to play the harp
My home will always be in Zafra
I've been composing since I was thirteen
My first kiss was at sixteen
Pineapple pizza drives me crazy, I beg you please, don't kill me
I have a phobia of sharks
I lived two years in San Roque
Before dying I want to go to the North Pole
And I've traveled to more than thirty countries, I only lack Oceania
My favorite fruit is mango and watermelon
People with passion inspire me just like love, rap, and poetry
I know myself a bit better through studying psychology
I have an obsession
With donuts
Come on David, keep going with the song
And I never watch television
Well, when I was little always The Lion King
And I've learned to drink beer although to go out
I'm into vodka with lemon
Málaga-born
British by nationality
Extremaduran at heart
But I can't tell you where I'm from
But that's the best part
My refuge is my room
I'm 1.82 meters tall
Even though in videos I don't look it, no
I'm not good at painting, no
I don't know how to do my hair, no
I don't believe in destiny, I'm more about getting lost along the way
My favorite animal is the elephant and the penguin
I competed five years in track and I've never known how to do a handstand
Feeling heavy makes me feel awful
And I'm very clear that I want to get married
To have a family of more than three
To teach them at least Spanish and English
And this reaches its end
The fiftieth is on Instagram
At @DavidRees, don't let me down
This is my channel, stay
I want to give you a bear hug

SONG MEANING

"Cantando 50 Cosas Sobre Mi" is David Rees’s playful, rapid-fire ice-breaker. In just a few minutes, the Spanish singer-songwriter rattles off a colorful list of 50 personal facts: childhood dreams of owning an optician’s shop, a secret love for pineapple pizza, a fear of sharks, and a soft spot for mangoes and watermelon. The lyrics jump from his mixed roots (born in Málaga, British passport, Extremaduran at heart) to quirky confessions like never mastering a handstand, binge-watching The Lion King as a kid, and craving donuts at any hour. Each line feels like a quick snapshot, inviting listeners to piece together the puzzle of who David is while tapping along to an upbeat melody.

Beneath the fun checklist lies a message about authenticity and self-acceptance. Rees shows that identities are messy and multidimensional, yet worth celebrating. By ending with “No. 50 is on Instagram,” he breaks the fourth wall and turns the song into an interactive game, urging fans to keep exploring and share their own facts. The result is a feel-good anthem that celebrates curiosity, connection, and the joy of simply being yourself.
