Home / Lyrics Translation / David Rees / La Canción Del 2020

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Canción Del 2020 by David Rees from Spanish to English.

Workout marathons at home

And sponge cakes over video call

School and university

You work remotely in pajamas and from the couch

Mask to go to the Metro

Because there's that very weird bug on the loose

Coronavirus, what's that about?

You are in the middle of a global pandemic

No party nights, no flying

Supermarkets without milk and rice

Hospitals are at full capacity

Hand sanitizer, the coolest thing

There are UFOs in the sky

In quarantine, the whole planet

To the balcony to see what happens

We don't know if the world is ending

And when it seemed that the 3rd World War was coming

It was just Anonymous, returning to the social network

With Kanye West for President

She looked at me and I looked at her

Although there are days that the sun doesn't come out

At least I can dance on TikTok

2020 came in strong

Pandemics and global disasters

You only want that it end

2020 isn't forever

Pandemics and global disasters

Now we are stronger than before

Tsunamis, explosions, hurricanes and planes

And volcanoes, earthquakes, floods

That Australia doesn't burn again

Poor plants, poor koalas!

That the murder hornet doesn't come back

Or could it be that there is life on Venus?

Lately we feel lonely

That someone save us from everything

For those who are no longer here, I cried

For Black Panther and Kobe too

And for a kiss from the skinny girl, I'd give whatever it takes

So that Pau Donés would come back

We keep shouting Black Lives Matter

For George Floyd and the ones who are missing

Until there's justice there won't be peace

And how hard love is, in

Times of COVID, forget it, I

I fear that dating isn't an option, and

They broke my heart

But I want to thank the one who broke it

Now I'm sure I'll find someone better

And all the songs that you made me write

I dedicate them to you, my love!

2020 came in strong

Pandemics and global disasters

You only want that it end

2020 isn't forever

Pandemics and global disasters

Now we are stronger than before

Who here is the impostor?

I'm just a crewmate looking for my mission

To take refuge in some song

To find my place amid all this chaos

And to the years that are coming, I only ask them

Health and good vibes for you, for me and for mine

More love, more art

More kisses, more hugging you

And when I am grown and old

To tell my children and grandchildren

The stories that it has left us

That very weird year

No matter how many years go by

This stays recorded

SONG MEANING

David Rees turns the chaos of 2020 into a playful, fast-paced scrapbook. From home workouts, banana-bread video calls, and working in pajamas to empty shelves, masked metro rides, and TikTok dance crazes, he checks off every headline of the year. The lyrics jump between viral memes, pop-culture shocks, and real-world tragedies like wildfires, protests, and the loss of beloved icons. It feels like you are scrolling through an endless feed where each line is another OMG moment that defined the year we all want to forget.

Yet beneath the humor is a heartwarming message: humanity survived an avalanche of bad news and came out wiser and more united. Rees invites us to laugh at the absurdity, mourn what we lost, and celebrate the resilience we found. The chorus promises that 2020 will not last forever, and the closing wish list—health, good vibes, love, and hugs—reminds learners that even the strangest chapters in history can inspire hope, art, and stronger connections.
