Original Lyrics
Translation in Filipino
verse
I would be complex
Maging ako'y kumplikado
I would be cool
Maging ako'y astig
They′d say I played the field before I found someone to commit to
Sabi nila ako'y maglalaro muna bago magseryoso
And that would be okay
At ayun ay ayos lang
For me to do
Na gawin ko
Every conquest I had made would make me more of a boss to you
Lahat ng sadya ko ay nagawang mas amo pa 'ko sa'yo
pre-chorus
I'd be a fearless leader
Ako'y walang takot na pinuno
I′d be an alpha type
Ako'y tipong alpha
When everyone believes ya
Kung lahat naniniwala
What's that like?
Anong pakiramdam?
chorus
I'm so sick of running as fast as I can
Sawa na akong tumakbo nang sobrang bilis
Wondering if I′d get there quicker if I was a man
Iniisip kung mauuna ba 'ko doon kung lalaki ako (Hey)
And I′m so sick of them coming at me again
Sawa na rin akong pinagkakaisahan
'Cause if I was a man
Kasi kung lalaki ako
Then I′d be the man
Edi ako ang lalaki
I'd be the man
Ako ang magiging lalaki
I′d be the man
Ako ang magiging lalaki
verse
They'd say I hustled
Nagpumilit daw ako
Put in the work
Pinagtrabahuan
They wouldn′t shake their heads and question how much of this I deserve
Hindi sila iiling at magtatanong kung dapat bang ako
What I was wearing
Anuman ang suot ko
If I was rude
'Pag ako'y marahas
Could all be separated from my good ideas and power moves?
Wari bang hiwalay sa mabuti kong ideya't kilusan
pre-chorus
And they would toast to me, oh
At tatagay sila, oh
Let the players play
Hayaang maglaro
I'd be just like Leo
Parang ako si Leo
In Saint-Tropez
Sa Santong-Tropez
chorus
I'm so sick of running as fast as I can
Sawa na akong tumakbo nang sobrang bilis
Wondering if I′d get there quicker if I was a man
Iniisip kung mauuna ba 'ko doon kung lalaki ako (Hey)
And I′m so sick of them coming at me again
Sawa na rin akong pinagkakaisahan
'Cause if I was a man
Kasi kung lalaki ako
Then I′d be the man
Edi ako ang lalaki
I'd be the man
Ako ang magiging lalaki
I′d be the man
Ako ang magiging lalaki
bridge
What's it like to brag about
Pa'no kaya magyabang
Raking in dollars
Sa paghakot ng dolyar
And getting bitches and models
At pagkuha ng aso't modelo
And it′s all good if you're bad
Ayos lang pag masama
And it's okay if you′re mad
Ayos lang 'pag galit ka
If I was out flashing my dollars
'Pag ako'y naglabas ng dolyar
I′d be a bitch, not a baller
Ako'y lintik, hindi lodi
They paint me out to be bad
Gagawin akong masama
So it's okay that I′m mad
Ayos lang maimbyerna
chorus
I'm so sick of running as fast as I can
Sawa na akong tumakbo nang sobrang bilis
Wondering if I′d get there quicker if I was a man (you know that)
Iniisip kung mauuna ba 'ko doon 'pag lalaki ako (Alam mo 'yan)
And I'm so sick of them coming at me again (coming at me again)
Sawa na rin akong pinagkakaisahan (Pinagkakaisahan)
′Cause if I was a man (if I was a man)
Kasi kung lalaki ako (Kung lalaki ako)
Then I'd be the man (then I'd be the man)
Edi ako ang lalaki (Edi ako ang lalaki)
I′m so sick of running as fast as I can (as fast as I can)
Sawa na akong tumakbo nang sobrang bilis (Nang sobrang bilis)
Wondering if I′d get there quicker if I was a man (hey)
Iniisip kung mauuna ba 'ko doon kung lalaki ako (Hey)
And I'm so sick of them coming at me again (coming at me again)
Sawa na rin akong pinagkakaisahan (Pinagkakaisahan)
′Cause if I was a man (if I was a man)
Kasi kung lalaki ako (Kung lalaki ako)
Then I'd be the man
Edi ako ang lalaki
I′d be the man
Ako ang magiging lalaki
I'd be the man (oh)
Ako ang lalaki (Oh)
I′d be the man (yeah)
Ako ang lalaki (Yeah)
I'd be the man (I'd be the man)
Ako ang lalaki (Ako ang lalaki)
outro
If I was a man
Kung lalaki ako
Then I′d be the man
Edi ako ang lalaki

Meaning
The song 'The Man' by Taylor Swift challenges societal double standards by portraying the desire to be seen as powerful and respected without facing criticism for assertiveness or success, highlighting the unfair treatment based on gender. The lyrics metaphorically explore the disparities in how individuals are judged and valued, emphasizing the frustration of not being recognized and celebrated in the same way if the gender roles were reversed.
