Los cantores de radio pueden desaparecer
Los que están en los diarios pueden desaparecer
La persona que amas puede desaparecer
Los que están en el aire pueden desaparecer en el aire
Los que están en la calle pueden desaparecer en la calle
Los amigos del barrio pueden desaparecer
Pero los dinosaurios van a desaparecer
No estoy tranquilo mi amor
Hoy es sábado a la noche
Un amigo está en cana
Oh mi amor
Desaparece el mundo
Si los pesados mi amor llevan todo ese montón
De equipaje en la mano
Oh mi amor, yo quiero estar liviano
Cuando el mundo tira para abajo
Es mejor no estar atado a nada
Imaginen a los dinosaurios en la cama
Cuando el mundo tira para abajo
Es mejor no estar atado a nada
Imaginen a los dinosaurios en la cama
Los amigos del barrio pueden desaparecer
Los cantores de radio pueden desaparecer
Los que están en los diarios pueden desaparecer
La persona que amas puede desaparecer
Los que están en el aire pueden desaparecer en el aire
Los que están en la calle pueden desaparecer en la calle
Los amigos del barrio pueden desaparecer
Pero los dinosaurios van a desaparecer
Charly García's song Los Dinosaurios is a reflection on the transitory nature of time and the inevitability of death. The lyrics suggest that everything has its time and can disappear at any moment. The first few verses list different things that can disappear, from friends and lovers to famous personalities in the media. The chorus is then repeated with the addition of the phrase "but the dinosaurs will disappear," suggesting that even the seemingly invincible and ancient can eventually perish.
Throughout the song, García expresses a sense of anxiety and restlessness, perhaps brought on by the uncertainty of life and the knowledge that everything eventually comes to an end. The verses about a friend being in jail and wanting to stay unattached to worldly possessions indicate a desire for freedom from the burdens of life. The metaphor of imagining dinosaurs in bed emphasizes the point that even the biggest and most powerful creatures can become weak and vulnerable.
Overall, Los Dinosaurios is a poignant and introspective song that contemplates the fleeting nature of existence and the need to let go of attachments and live in the present moment.

Neighborhood friends can be kidnapped at any time.
Popular singers can be kidnapped.
Famous people can be kidnapped.
The person we love deeply can be kidnapped.
People on television can be kidnapped on air.
People on the streets can be kidnapped in the street.
But the army is going to disappear.
I'm not at ease, my love.
It's Saturday night.
A friend is in jail. (It is likely to be tortured or disappear, they can link me to him, I can be next).
Oh my love.
The world is disappearing.
If troublesome people were killed, tortured and raped.
Oh, my love, I wish I had not caused trouble.
When everything is terrible
It is better not to have emotional attachments
Imagine the militaries in prison.

Charly García's "los dinosaurios" is a song about Argentina's bloodiest military dictatorship. The song expresses the suffering and fear for the more than 40,000 disappeared. Anyone, for any reason, could be kidnapped. Most of them were never found.

"those on the air" refers to people who are in the media giving "live" news.

Testo in italiano:
Gli amici dal quartiere possono sparire
I cantori di radio possono sparire
Chi è nei giornali può sparire
La persona che ami può sparire
Quegli che sono nell'aria possono sparire nell'aria
Quegli che sono in strada possono sparire in strada
Gli amici del quartiere possono sparire,
Ma i dinosauri spariranno
Non sono tranquillo, amore mio
Oggi è sabato sera
Un amico è in galera
Oh, amore mio
Sparisce il mondo
Se "i pesati", amore mio, portano quel sacco
Di bagaglio in mano
Oh amore, io voglio restare leggero
|Quando il mondo ci tira giù
È meglio non essere legato a niente
Immaginate i dinosauri sul letto|x2
Gli amici dal quartiere possono sparire
I cantori di radio possono sparire
Chi è nei giornali può sparire
La persona che ami può sparire
Quegli che sono nell'aria possono sparire nell'aria
Quegli che sono in strada possono sparire in strada
Gli amici del quartiere possono sparire,
Ma i dinosauri spariranno.
