La la la la la la la...
Dili tanang laki gwapo
(Not all men are handsome)
Dili tanang gwapo laki
(Not all handsome are men)
Dunay uban ilang dugo berde
(Some of them are gay)
Macho tan-awon nya uyab lalaki
(Looks manly but intimately involve with a guy)
Dili tanang babaye gwapa
(Not all women are pretty)
Dili tanang gwapa babaye
(Not all pretty are women)
Dunay uban kanhi lalaki
(Some are former male)
Nausab kay nagparetoki
(who have gone through physical modification)
Dili tanang buotan musimba
(Not all faithful goes to church)
Dili tanang musimba buotan
(Not all churchgoers are faithful)
Dunay uban kay magpagarbo lang
(Some are just boasting)
Sa ilang sinina na bagong giutang
(of their newly borrowed dress)
Dili tanang korap politiko
(Not all corrupt are politicians)
Dili tanang politiko korap
(Not all politicians are corrupt)
Naay korap tungod sa mga tao
(some of them are just driven by the people)
Kay kung walay kwarta dili iboto
('coz they will only be voted in exchange for money)
Dili tanan maoy akong giulohan
(It's not me who lead)
Ining kantahanag walay tumong ug way padulngan
(this song with no intention and no direction)
Ang mga lyrics gibalibali ug way hinungdan
(the lyrics are inverted and worthless)
Busa paghilum paminaw ug katawa nalang
(therefore be silent, listen and just laugh)
Dili tanang rocker long hair
(not all rockers are long-haired)
Dili tanang long hair rocker
(not all long-haired are rockers)
Dunay uban parocker rocker lang
(Some are just pretentious rockers)
Unya diay to walay kalibutan
(and actually clueless)
Dili tanan maoy akong giulohan
(It's not me who lead)
Ining kantahanag walay tumong ug way padulngan
(this song with no intention and no direction)
(the lyrics are inverted and worthless)
Busa paghilum paminaw ug katawa nalang
(therefore be silent, listen and just laugh)
Dili Tanan which literally means "not all/some" is composed by Rommel Tuico, a Cebuano songwriter, who was a former member of the band Stagecrew. The hit song "Ulan", as popularized by Cueshe, was also written by him with the help of his former band members. He said, the song "Dili Tanan" was inspired by how John Lenon's "Love is Real" was written---"it's like playing with the words but in the end it makes sense" said he.
