Dinosaurio
Naty Botero Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
La Divina -La Cristina
Mariposa floreciente
La rockera -La ponquera
Florecita rockera
Rockefella -Cinderella
Rapunzela
Cambia el movimiento
Cuba, Habana
Solle mariguana
Dónde han ido a parar
los amigos todos
regados hasta el mar
nadie va a llorar.
Hay que esta vida,
lo que toca todavía esperar
no importa dónde estemos
siempre hay que llegar
donde se tiene que llegar -Juntísimos
Cuba, Habana
Solle mariguana
Un día como hoy
un meteorito cambia
y destrulla todo
y volvemos como moléculas
flotando en el espacio
atrás quedará este gran museo de concreto
otra espacie que ya pasó
como la del dinosaurio
The lyrics to Naty Botero's song Dinosaurio are a mix of nostalgia and hope for the future. The song begins with the singer encountering an old friend who is described in different ways - La Divina, La Cristina, Mariposa floreciente, la rockera, la ponquera, Florecita rockera, Rockefella, Cinderella, Rapunzela. This change in description represents the many different people that the singer and their friend have been over the years. The lyrics then move on to reflect on the passing of time and how friends can drift apart, but ultimately, it is important to keep moving forward and to always reach the destination that you have set for yourself.
The song is also heavily influenced by the idea of change and evolution. The lyrics reference Cuba, Habana, and smoking marijuana as symbols of change and rebellion. The reference to a meteorite destroying everything and transforming us into molecules is a metaphor for the transformational power of change. The idea of a museum of concrete, representing a past era, shows the inevitability of change, and how the things we once knew will eventually become extinct, like the dinosaurs.
Overall, Dinosaurio is an ode to the passage of time, the importance of friendship, and the power of change.

One day, a meteorite will change and destroy everything, we will be like molecules floating in space. Everything will be left behind like a museum of concrete, like the dinosaur species that already passed.
