What does tatsulok mean in tagalog?

Question

Ive been listening to the song tatsulok by bamboo can anyone translate the lyrics for me in english? i really love the song!

Answer 1

i also like the song so here's my best shot:

Totoy bilisan mo, bilisan mo ang takbo

Faster little boy, run faster

Ilagan ang mga bombang nakatutok sa ulo mo

Dodge the bombs aimed at your head

Totoy tumalon ka, dumapa kung kailangan

Jump little boy, duck if you have to

At baka tamaan pa ng mga balang ligaw

because you might get hit by stray bullets

Totoy makinig ka, wag kang magpa-gabi

LIsten little boy, don't stay out late

Baka mapagkamalan ka’t humandusay dyan sa tabi

you might get mistaken for someone else  and drop dead

Totoy alam mo ba kung ano ang puno’t dulo

Little boy do you know the root

Ng di matapos-tapos na kaguluhang ito

of this never ending chaos

Hindi pula’t dilaw tunay na magkalaban

Red and yellow are not the real adversaries

Ang kulay at tatak ay di syang dahilan

The color and brand is not the real reason

Hangga’t marami ang lugmok sa kahirapan

As long as many are suffering from poverty

At ang hustisya ay para lang sa mayaman

And justice is only for the rich

Habang may tatsulok at sila ang nasa tuktok

As long as there's a pyramid and they're the ones on top

Di matatapos itong gulo

this chaos will never end

Iligtas ang hininga ng kay raming mga tao

Save the breath of many people

At ang dating munting bukid, ngayo’y sementeryo

and what was once a small farm is now a graveyard

Totoy kumilos ka, baliktarin ang tatsulok

Move little boy and reverse the pyramid

Tulad ng dukha, nailagay mo sa tuktok

LIke the poor, you've put at the top

Hindi pula’t dilaw tunay na magkalaban

Red and yellow are not the real adversaries

Ang kulay at tatak ay di syang dahilan

The color and brand is not the real reason

Hangga’t marami ang lugmok sa kahirapan

As long as many are suffering from poverty

At ang hustisya ay para lang sa mayaman

And justice is only for the rich

Habang may tatsulok at sila ang nasa tuktok

As long as there's a pyramid and they're the ones on top

Di matatapos itong gulo

this chaos will never end

Answer 2

triangle

Answer 3

Tatsulok means triangle. The song for me signifies those people that are always on top, you know those rich people who can't seem to get enough and stuff like that.

Chorus :

Habang may tatsulok at sila ang nasa tuktok

Di matatapos itong gulo..

While there's this pyramid where people are not always equal, the chaos would never cease even for those who are continually oppressed by the people on top.

Hehe, so far, that's the entire message of the song for me, hope I was able to help even for just a bit. =)
