Their first album was "Los Piratas", a live record, followed by "Quiero hacerte gritar", their first studio album. Later on they would release "Poligamia" and "Manual para los fieles". Their next album, "Fin de la primera parte" (end of the first part), was a special album that recapped their best songs and marked a changed towards much more complex style.
After this came "Ultrasónica" (later re-released with an extra disc of rarities titled "Sesiones perdidas") and their last studio album, "Relax", re-released again later on with three rarities discs: "Inerte", "Respuestas" and "Dinero".
Their last album was recorded during their last concert in Madrid, and was called "Fin de la segunda parte" (end of second part), thus completing the circle and their career.
They split up in 2004. Iván Ferreiro and Alfonso Román (Fon Roman) started their own solo career.

En las luces
En las casas
En las aceras
En un coche
En hospitales
En el aire siempre hay miedo
Escondido en tu equipaje
En la comida
Por la noche en todas partes
Puedo verlo tienes miedo
Ahora mismo en cualquier parte
Puedo verlo tienes miedo
Puedo verlo tienes miedo
Puedo verlo tienes miedo
Puedo verlo tienes miedo
Puedo verlo tienes miedo
Miedo de tu padre
Miedo del infierno
Miedo de la calle de tu amigo del colegio
Miedo de la suerte
Miedo del dinero
Miedo a lo que tienes porque ahora puedes perderlo
Tienes miedo del dinero
Tienes miedo del dinero
Tienes miedo del dinero
Tienes miedo del dinero
Tienes miedo del dinero
Tienes miedo de tocarme
Miedo a hacerlo en cualquier parte
Tienes miedo de tu cuerpo
Tienes miedo de tu mente
Miedo a pensar lo que quieras
Miedo a ver lo que deseas
Miedo a hacerlo con tu nombre
Tienes miedo del dinero
Tienes miedo del dinero
Tienes miedo del dinero
Tienes miedo del dinero
Tienes miedo del dinero
Miedo a lo que piensas
Miedo a lo que dices
Miedo a lo que dices cuando solo tienes miedo
Miedo a que te maten
Miedo a que nos maten
Miedo a las noticias
Miedo a los que tienen miedo
Tienes miedo del dinero
Miedo a los que tienen miedo
Tienes miedo del dinero
Miedo a los que tienen miedo
The lyrics to Los Piratas's song "Dinero" are a reflection on the pervasive power that money holds over individuals and society at large. The opening lines suggest that this fear of money is omnipresent, with references to its influence even in mundane aspects of daily life, as well as within more ominous spaces such as hospitals or the air itself. The repetition of the phrase "Puedo verlo tienes miedo" ("I can see it, you're afraid") serves to emphasize the hold that this fear has on individuals, and the subsequent lyrics delve into this fear in greater detail.
The following verses explore the different manifestations of this fear, including fear of one's own body and mind, of social judgment, and of physical harm. All of these fears are connected to the power that money holds, as it both drives and fuels these negative outcomes. The repetition of "Tienes miedo del dinero" ("You're afraid of money") throughout the song reinforces this theme, with the suggestion that this fear is not just an abstract concept, but deeply ingrained in individuals' psyches.
Overall, "Dinero" is a powerful commentary on the ways in which money shapes human experience, and serves as both an indictment of capitalist culture and a call to acknowledge and confront this pervasive fear.
