babae po ako, mali ka dyan sa inaakala mo
babae po ako

small lang ang sukat
babae po ako

Overall Meaning

The song "Babae Po Ako" by Tuesday is an empowering anthem for women who are constantly being questioned and judged based on their appearance and actions. The song starts with a man asking the woman if she is a lady, and the woman emphatically responds with "Babae po ako," which means "I am a woman" in Filipino. The song highlights the struggles of being a woman in a society that imposes rigid gender roles and expectations.


The lyrics also address the common misconception that femininity is synonymous with weakness or submissiveness. The woman declares that she is not a clone and that she is not the product of the man's illusions. She asserts her identity and refuses to be labeled as a "bakla" (gay) or "shokla" (transgender) just because society deems her appearance or behavior as such. She also challenges the man's judgmental gaze and affirms her worth and sweetness as a woman.


Overall, "Babae Po Ako" is a bold statement of self-acceptance and resistance against patriarchy and heteronormativity. The song encourages women to embrace their uniqueness and stand up for themselves in a world that often tries to diminish their existence.
