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

ojeras — dark circles under eyes

Ojeras refers to the dark circles or bags that appear under the eyes, often due to lack of sleep or fatigue. It's a specific and relatable term that many people experience.

In the song, David Rees candidly states, "Odio salir de tiendas, madrugar y mis ojeras" (I hate going shopping, waking up early, and my dark circles). This personal confession makes the word memorable and adds a touch of everyday human experience to the lyrics, making it an interesting and unique choice for a song.

"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.
