ANG TIPO KONG LALAKI - DJ ALVARO

This song of DJ Alvaro is one of its kind detailing what this girl likes in a boy. 

She is not looking for a kind person but she has specific requirements from him. 

This song came out when girls in my college days were crazy about tall, young, handsome and rich kind of a guy. SO naturally, when I encountered the title of this song, I thought the singer would end up saying those qualities from a guy. I was mistaken. The singer was not looking for a preacher, a rich kids not even those qualities I mentioned. 

The singer was looking for an adventurous guy instead. Somebody who doesn't have to be handsome, nor intelligent, nor a gentleman or just a home-buddy.

She searches for someone who is reasonable. He may not be extremely kind as long as he is gentleman, with a touch of rudeness. He may kick somebody's butt as long as he is justified, like he was defending a loved one or somebody weak.

I enjoyed listening to this song although I have to see yet a guy who is like that. I know someone who drinks although not a drunkard but he refuses to throw a feast. He chooses to keep out of trouble.

Well, I guess I am just intrigued of that kind of guy. 

I am sharing my translation of this song so you could let me know what is your take on the singers choice of a guy. What about you, who is your type of a guy?

Lyrics and translation of the song inside parenthesis:

Ang Tipo Kong Lalaki (My type/kind of Guy)

Kahit hindi gwapo (Eventhough he is not handsome)
Kahit na 'di matalino (Eventhough he is not intelligent)
Basta't siya ay may puso (As long as he has a heart)
Siya pa rin ay gugustuhin ko (I will still like him)

Hindi kinakailangang (He doesn't need)
Masunurin sa magulang (To be obedient to his parents)
Basta't siya ay magalang (As long as he is respectful)
At mapagkakatiwalaan (And trustworthy)

Kahit hindi gwapo (Eventhough he is not handsome)
Kahit na 'di matalino (Eventhough he is not intelligent)
Basta't siya ay may puso (As long as he has a heart)
Siya pa rin ay gugustuhin ko (I will still like him)

Umiinom man ng marami (He may drink a lot)
Kahit na ba balde-balde (Even bucket's full)
Basta't hindi lassenggo (As long as he is not drunk)
Umiinom pero 'di lassenggo (He drinks but not a drunkard)

Kahit hindi gwapo (Eventhough he is not handsome)
Kahit na 'di matalino (Eventhough he is not intelligent)
Basta't siya ay may puso (As long as he has a heart)
Siya pa rin ay gugustuhin ko (I will still like him)

Manuntok man ng tao (He may punch somebody)
Basta ba nasa katwiran ito (As long as he is justified)
Manapak man ng gago (He may hurt a fool)
Basta't hindi ba basagulero (As long as he is not troublesome)

Kahit hindi gwapo (Eventhough he is not handsome)
Kahit na 'di matalino (Eventhough he is not intelligent)
Basta't siya ay may puso (As long as he has a heart)
Siya pa rin ay gugustuhin ko (I will still like him)

Ayaw ko sa sobrang maginoo (I don't want him to be extremely gentleman)
Dahil baka ako ay mabato (Because I might get bored)
Ang tipo kong lalake (My type of a guy)
Ang tipo kong lalake (My type of a guy)
Ang tipo kong lalake medyo bastos (My type of a guy is somewhat rude)
Maginoo pero medyo bastos (Gentleman but somewhat rude)
Maginoo pero medyo bastos (Gentleman but somewhat rude)
Maginoo pero medyo bastos (Gentleman but somewhat rude)
Maginoo pero medyo bastos (Gentleman but somewhat rude)
