Chorus 1
He who wants to, can
And he who can, stakes it
Things are bad, bad
I assure you that whoever looks, finds
And if the sky falls, I dance in the storm
Things are bad, bad
I assure you that whoever looks, finds
Verse 1
Where I'm going with my spear
Is behind that mountain
With boots, heels, or barefoot
No matter the rain or the distance
I'd go on to carve out my destiny
Carving my footprint on the road
I'll look for that which is mine
Just because I was born alone
Chorus 2
He who wants to, can
And he who can, makes the bet
Things are bad, bad
I assure you that whoever looks, finds
And if the sky falls, I dance in the storm
Things are bad, bad
I assure you that whoever looks, finds
Verse 2
If you tell yourself that you can't, how will you ever be able to?
Throw yourself into it and start walking, you're already stepping forward
Only a fish swims against the current
And no scales are seen on you
Come on, put your heart in the beat, beat
Take the cork off the wine
Because nothing's easy, my sweet
If you want lemonade
You squeeze the lemon, family
If they roll with me, they roll
Let them try to beat me, beat me
If they roll with me, they roll
Let them beat me, beat me
Chorus 3
He who wants to, can
And he who can, stakes it
Things are bad, bad
I assure you that whoever looks, finds
And if the sky falls, I dance in the storm
Things are bad, bad
I assure you that whoever looks, finds
Verse 3
Things are bad, bad
I assure you that whoever looks, finds
Don't despair
Your luck will change tomorrow
Things are bad, bad
I assure you that whoever looks, finds
Oh, what you must have in life
Is a positive attitude
Things are bad, bad
I assure you that whoever looks, finds
Everything has its end
Listen well, for your problems
Things are bad, bad
I assure you that whoever looks, finds
I tell you that this is for you
Come on, enjoy this one
Let the party keep going and going
Things are bad, bad
I assure you that whoever looks, finds
Follow the steps of that John, John
That one sure makes it up
There's positive attitude
I am La India, don't stop
Bridge 1
Whoever looks, finds
Or whoever looks, finds
If rain falls from the sky
Ride the storm
Whoever looks, finds
This is for you, for you, for you, for you
And it doesn't weigh on me
Whoever looks, finds
Hey look, don't you pay that bill
Because he who looks, finds
You'll achieve nothing if you don't try
Whoever looks, finds
I've got the good salsa
Raise your flag
And represent wherever
Chorus 4
He who wants to, can
And he who can, stakes it
Things are bad, bad
And I assure you that whoever looks, finds
And if the sky falls
I dance in the storm
Things are bad, bad
And I assure you that whoever looks, finds
He who wants to, can

tormenta — storm

Tormenta means "storm", and it's the heart of this song's powerful message about resilience. It's not just about weather; it's a metaphor for facing life's biggest challenges.

The singers defiantly proclaim, "si se cae el cielo, bailo bajo la tormenta" (if the sky falls, I dance under the storm). This vivid image turns a symbol of trouble into an opportunity for joy and strength, perfectly capturing the song's uplifting spirit of perseverance.

Life can throw serious hardship your way, but "Bajo La Tormenta" (Under the Storm) turns that struggle into an upbeat dance party. Produced by Sergio George with the supergroup Salsa Giants (featuring powerhouse vocalists like La India, who shouts out "Yo soy La India, no te detengas" [I am La India, don't stop]), the track faces tough times head-on. The chorus repeats the blunt reality that "La cosa está mala, mala" (Things are bad, bad), yet immediately answers with bold resilience: "Y si se cae el cielo, bailo bajo la tormenta" (And if the sky falls, I dance under the storm).

Instead of feeling sorry for yourself, the song urges you to take direct action. It leans into proverbs and street wisdom like "el que busca encuentra" (he who seeks finds) and "el que quiere puede" (whoever wants to, can). There are zero excuses here. The lyrics tell you that if you want lemonade, you have to get your hands dirty: "Si quieres limonada, exprimes el limón" (If you want lemonade, squeeze the lemon). Whether you march forward with boots, high heels, or completely barefoot ("Con botas, tacón o descalza"), the core message is straightforward: pop the cork off the wine, keep an "actitud positiva" (positive attitude), and keep moving forward no matter how hard it rains.
