Y que a su paso lastima
Yo he visto como te dejó
Casi casi sin vida
Ella es tormenta que llegó
Y que a su paso lastima
Su fuerza como te dejó
Casi casi sin vida
Que te pasa mi friend
Dónde esta puesta tu confianza
No puedo creer
Que estes pensando que a tal ruta tú quieras volver
Es que te has vuelto un masoquista
Un suicida o que... no... buay
Si me ha tocado a mí
Observar todos los escombros que dejó de ti
Aquella furaza natural que nunca comprendí
Porque si nunca hiciste mal
Te quiso hacer sufrir... no... buay
Ella es tormenta que llegó
Y que a su paso lastima
Su fuerza como te dejó
Casi casi sin vida
Ella es tormenta que llegó
Y que a su paso lastima
Su furia como te dejó
Casi casi sin casi casi sin vida
Fue como un fuerte viento
Que te atrapa y te maltrata
Como hoja al viento
Pero gracias al SEÑOR se ha ido el sufrimiento
Otro amor te esta sonriendo hoy
Ahora que de nuevo sale el sol
Ahora que otra vez sientes amor
Gracias a otra mujer que te brindó comprensión
No pienses volver jamás
Ella es tormenta que llegó
Y que a su paso lastima
Yo he visto como te dejó
Casi casi sin vida
Ella es tormenta que llegó
Y que a su paso lastima
Yo he visto como te dejó
Casi casi sin vida

Yo he visto como te dejó
Casi casi sin vida
Ella es tormenta que llegó
Y que a su paso lastima
Yo he visto como te dejó
Casi casi sin vida
The lyrics of El Roockie's song "Tormenta" depict a woman who is like a storm that hurtles into someone's life and leaves destruction in her wake. The singer speaks of how this woman has left him almost lifeless and how her fury can be felt in the way she has hurt him. He questions his friend about why he would even consider going back to her if he has experienced the same pain as he has. The singer has borne witness to the aftermath of this woman's natural force, which he cannot fully understand. She inflicted suffering on the singer without reason, even though he had never done anything wrong to her. The woman has come and gone, but the singer acknowledges the love of another woman, who has helped him move forward and out of the path of the storm.
The use of the storm as a metaphor is powerful throughout the lyrics to describe the destructive nature of the singer's relationship with this woman. The storm, in this case, represents the force of her personality and behavior that leaves destruction in her wake. The singer tries to guide his friend away from her path and tells him that he has now found love again, and he hopes that his friend can do the same. By using the metaphor of the storm, the singer laments the power that some people can hold over others and the long-lasting impact that it can have on their lives.
