Anak

Freddie Aguilar - Anak
Nung isilang ka sa mundong ito
Laking tuwa ng magulang mo
At ang kamay nila
Ang iyong ilaw
At ang nanay at tatay mo′y
Di malaman ang gagawin
Minamasdan
Pati pagtulog mo
At sa gabi'y napupuyat ang iyong nanay
Sa pagtimpla ng gatas mo
At sa umaga nama′y kalong ka ng iyong
Amang tuwang-tuwa sa yo'
Ngayon nga ay malaki ka na
Nais mo'y maging Malaya
Di man sila payag
Walang magagawa
Ikaw nga ay biglang nagbago
Nagging matigas ang iyong ulo
At ang payo nila′y
Sinuway mo
Di mo man lang inisip na ang kanilang ginagawa′y para sa yo
Pagka't ang nais mo′y masunod
Ang layaw mo dimo sila pinapansin
Nagdaan pa ang mga araw
At ang landas mo'y maligaw
Ikaw ay nalulong
Sa masama bisyo
At ang una mong nilapitan
Ang iyong inang lumuluha
At ang tanong nila ANAK
Ba′t ka nagkaganyan?
At ang iyong mata'y biglang lumuha
Ng di mo napapasin
Pagsisisi at sa isip mo′t nalaman
Mong ika'y nagkamali
Nagsisisi at sa isip mo'y
Nalaman mong ika′y nagkamali
Nagsisisi at sa isip mo′y
Nalaman mong ika'y nagkamali
Freddie Aguilar - Anak
Je kwam bij ons op een mooie nacht,
We hadden je al zo lang verwacht,
Je was het enige dat nog ontbrak aan ons geluk.
Je moeder maakte je melk gereed
Niets dat ze tegen haar goesting deed
Al was het niet altijd even gemakkelijk.
Ook je papa die speelde met je elke dag
En hij genoot van jou, met een traan en met een lach!
We waren in je buurt elke nacht
En hielden om de beurt bij jou de wacht.
Je werd ouder en bleef steeds bemind
Al was je een eigenzinnig kind,
Je vormde je karakter en je wil
Je groeide meer van jaar tot jaar
Wij stonden altijd voor je klaar.
Voor elke wens en zelfs voor elke gril
Je veranderde, werd zelfs koppig en brutaal
Wat we zegden klonk voor jou in een vreemde taal
Goede raad sloeg je in de wind
En besefte niet hoe zeer we je toen hebben bemind.
Je leerde veel en zocht je weg
En had kritiek voor wat ik zeg
Er waren dagen, zoon, dat deed erg pijn.
Wij hielden van jou zoals altijd
En steunden je steeds zonder spijt!
Het was een plicht er toch voor jou te zijn!
Je koos een leven van plezier en van vermaak
Je amuseerde je en verspilde je geld maar raak
Geen enkele vriend, niets in de wereld had je nog
Je had zo′n spijt na al die tijd vol zelfbedrog. Neen, zo'n bestaan wou jij niet meer
Ten einde raad keerde je maar weer,
Je ouders hebben je immers steeds bemind.
Je hebt je verleden de rug toegekeerd
Verkeerde gewoontes afgeleerd
En bent teruggekomen als ons lieve kind
Je veranderde wat je deed en wat je dacht
En leefde beter met veel moed en veel kracht
Je voelde je alleen, ondervond al gauw
Wat je nodig had dat was een lieve vrouw
En ja, je hebt die vrouw ontmoet
Met haar te leven deed je goed
En spoedig kreeg je ook je eigen kind.
Dat was voor jou je liefste wens
Je voelde je een beter mens
En doorstond voor haar alle weer en wind
Je zorgt voor haar de ganse dag en heel de nacht
En samen met de moeder hou je steeds de wacht
Nu snap je ook wat wij voor jou hebben gedaan
Wij zijn voor jou ook geen probleem uit de weg gegaan
Nu je zelf de liefde voelt in je hart
En sterker bent dan pijn en smart
Versta je best wat wij voor jou hebben gedaan
Je moeder had inderdaad gelijk
Ze voelt zich nu oneindig rijk
Omdat jij haar ten volle wilt verstaan
Je stelt onze ideeën niet meer in vraag
En evenmin noem je mij nog een oude zaag
Mijn kind, ik zie: je vindt het even zo fijn Maar zo moeilijk om een goede vader te zijn

Child

Freddie Aguilar - Child
When you were born into this world
Your parents were overjoyed
And their hands
Were your guiding light
And your mother and father
Didn't know what to do
Watching over
Even your sleep
And at night your mother stayed awake
Preparing your milk
And in the morning your
Father held you, overjoyed with you
Now you are grown up
You want to be free
Even if they don't agree
There's nothing they can do
You suddenly changed
Your head became stubborn
And their advice
You disobeyed
You didn't even consider that what they were doing was for you
Because you wanted your way
You ignored their love
Days passed
And your path went astray
You were addicted
To bad vices
And the first person you approached
Was your crying mother
And their question, child
Why did you become like this?
And your eyes suddenly filled with tears
Without you noticing
Regret and in your mind you realized
That you were wrong
Regret and in your mind
You realized you were wrong
Regret and in your mind
You realized you were wrong
Freddie Aguilar - Child
You came to us on a beautiful night,
We had been waiting for you for so long,
You were the only thing missing from our happiness.
Your mother prepared your milk
She did nothing against her will
Even though it wasn't always easy.
Your father also played with you every day
And he enjoyed you, with tears and laughter!
We were near you every night
And took turns keeping watch over you.
You grew older and remained loved
Even though you were a stubborn child,
You formed your character and your will
You grew more from year to year
We were always there for you.
For every wish and even for every whim
You changed, even became stubborn and rude
What we said sounded like a foreign language to you
Good advice you threw to the wind
And didn't realize how much we loved you then.
You learned a lot and found your way
And criticized what I said
There were days, son, that hurt a lot.
We loved you as always
And supported you without regret!
It was a duty to be there for you!
You chose a life of pleasure and fun
You enjoyed yourself and wasted your money
You had no friends left, nothing in the world
You were so sorry after all that time of self-deception. No, you didn't want such a life anymore
In desperation you returned,
After all, your parents have always loved you.
You turned your back on your past
Unlearned bad habits
And came back as our dear child
You changed what you did and what you thought
And lived better with much courage and strength
You felt alone, soon realized
What you needed was a loving wife
And yes, you met that woman
Living with her did you good
And soon you had your own child.
That was your dearest wish
You felt like a better man
And endured all weather and wind for her
You take care of her all day and all night
And together with the mother you always keep watch
Now you understand what we did for you
We didn't shy away from any problem for you
Now that you feel the love in your own heart
And are stronger than pain and sorrow
You understand best what we did for you
Your mother was indeed right
She feels infinitely rich now
Because you want to understand her fully
You no longer question our ideas
And neither do you call me an old nag anymore
My child, I see: you find it just as nice but so difficult to be a good father
