Paroles et traduction Freddie Aguilar - Anak Epilogue

Anak Epilogue

No'ng 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
Ang nais mo'y maging malaya
'Di man sila payag, walang magagawa
Ikaw nga ay biglang nagbago
Naging matigas ang iyong ulo
At ang payo nila'y sinuway mo
'Di mo man lang inisip
Na ang kanilang ginagawa'y para sa 'yo
'Pagkat ang nais mo'y
Masunod ang layaw mo, 'di mo sila pinapansin
Nagdaan pa ang mga araw
At ang landas mo'y naligaw
Ikaw ay nalulong sa masamang bisyo
At ang una mong nilapitan
Ang 'yong inang lumuluha
At ang tanong, "Anak, ba't ka nagkaganyan?"
At ang iyong mga mata'y
Biglang lumuha nang 'di mo napapansin
Pagsisisi ang sa isip mo't
Nalaman mong ika'y nagkamali
Pagsisisi ang sa isip mo't
Nalaman mong ika'y nagkamali
Kahapon ay nilimot mo
Pati ang iyong masamang bisyo
Laking pasalamat ng magulang mo
Ikaw nga ay tuluyang nagbago
Natagpuan ang sarili
Galaw ng isip mo, matuwid na
Patuloy ang takbo ng araw
At ikaw ay natutong umibig
'Di naglaon at ipinasya mong
Lumagay ka na sa tahimik
Pagkabinata mo'y natapos na
Malapit ka nang maging ama
Kaya lalong nagsikap nang husto
Dumating ang iyong hinihintay
Sinilang ang panganay mo
Parang langit ang 'yong nadama
Ngayon, anak, alam mo na
Kung ano'ng pakiramdam nang maging isang ama
Ganyan din ang nadarama
Ng iyong ama't ina nang ikaw ay makita
Ngayon iyong naramdaman
Ngayon iyong naranasan
Ngayon iyong maiintindihan
Tama pala ang iyong ina
Tama pala ang iyong ama
Ngayon, hindi ka na magtataka
Hindi pala birong maging magulang
Oh, ngayon iyong dinaranas
Hindi pala birong maging magulang
Oh, ngayon iyong dinaranas
Hindi pala birong maging magulang
Oh, ngayon aking dinaranas

Anak Epilogue

When you were born into this world
Your parents were overjoyed
And their hands were your light
And your mom and dad
Didn't know what to do
Watched even when you slept
And at night they stayed up
Your mom to mix your milk
And in the morning
Your father carried you, so happy with you
Now you're all grown up
All you want is to be free
Even if they don't agree, there's nothing they can do
You suddenly changed
You became stubborn
And you disobeyed their advice
You didn't even think
That what they were doing was for you
Because all you wanted was
To follow your whims, you didn't pay attention to them
As days passed
And you lost your way
You became addicted to bad habits
And the first person you turned to
Was your mother in tears
And she asked, "Son, why are you like this?"
And your eyes
Suddenly filled with tears without you noticing
Remorse filled your mind
And you realized you were wrong
Remorse filled your mind
And you realized you were wrong
You forgot about yesterday
As well as your bad habits
Your parents were so grateful
You finally changed
You found yourself
Your mind is now right
The days continue to pass
And you have learned to love
It wasn't long before you decided
To settle down in peace
Your youth is over
You are about to become a father
So you worked even harder
The time you had been waiting for arrived
Your firstborn was born
You felt like you were in heaven
Now, son, you know
How it feels to be a father
That's how your mother and father felt
When they saw you
Now you have felt it
Now you have experienced it
Now you can understand
Your mother was right
Your father was right
Now, you will no longer wonder
It's no joke being a parent
Oh, now you are experiencing it
It's no joke being a parent
Oh, now you are experiencing it
It's no joke being a parent
Oh, now I am experiencing it
