TATSULOK by BAMBOO (Filipino Band)

Totoy bilisan mo, bilisan mo ang takbo
Ilagan ang mga bombang nakatutok sa ulo mo
Totoy tumalon ka, dumapa kung kailangan
At baka tamaan pa ng mga balang ligaw

Totoy makinig ka, wag kang magpa-gabi
Baka mapagkamalan ka’t humandusay dyan sa tabi
Totoy alam mo ba kung ano ang puno’t dulo
Ng di matapos-tapos na kaguluhang ito

[Refrain]
Hindi pula’t dilaw tunay na magkalaban
Ang kulay at tatak ay di syang dahilan
Hangga’t marami ang lugmok sa kahirapan
At ang hustisya ay para lang sa mayaman

[Chorus]
Habang may tatsulok at sila ang nasa tuktok
Di matatapos itong gulo

Iligtas ang hininga ng kay raming mga tao
At ang dating munting bukid, ngayo’y sementeryo
Totoy kumilos ka, baliktarin ang tatsulok
Tulad ng dukha, nailagay mo sa tuktok

[repeat Refrain and Chorus]

[repeat Refrain and Chorus]

[repeat Chorus]

Di matatapos itong gulo




The meaning of the song “Tatsulok” borrows itself from the communist party’s inverted triangle symbol. Simply put it, the inverted triangle symbolizes a communist society’s (representative democracy for those who find communism a strong term) end-goal wherein the masses, working class, common tao here in the Philippines (who make up majority of the society) should be on top and the leaders, influencers, other powerful people (who make up only a small proportion of society) should be below.

Of course, there are other more complex and detailed explanations and views about communism and the inverted triangle but I believe that’s for another thread.

Hence, if you would scrutinize the lyrics of the song you’ll probably understand why the line “hanggang may tatsulok at sila ang nasa tuktok di matatapos itong gulo” comes across very strongly. Also, the last lines “Totoy kumilos ka, baliktarin ang tatsulok, Tulad ng dukha, nailagay mo sa tuktok” just simply flatout describes the inverted triangle.
