Paroles et traduction Freddie Aguilar - Anak Ng Mahirap

Anak Ng Mahirap

Ako′y anak ng mahirap
Lumaking salat sa yaman
Maagang nawala si Ama
Ang ina ko nama'y mahina na
Kami′y hinamak ng lubusan
Inaapi't tinatawanan
Kami'y itinuring na basahan
Sila ba′y makatwiran
Ako′y naglakbay na mag-isa
Upang aking malimutan
Mga kaapihang dinanas
Ihahanap ng kalunusan
Kami'y hinamak ng lubusan
Inaapi′t tinatawanan
Kami'y itinuring na basahan
Sila ba′y makatwiran
Ako'y anak ng mahirap
Ngunit hindi ako nahihiya
Pagka′t ako'y mayroon pang dangal
Di katulad mong mang-aapi

Child of the Poor

I am a child of the poor
Grew up deprived of wealth
Father left early
And my mother is now weak
We were utterly despised
Oppressed and ridiculed
We were treated like rags
Were they fair
I traveled alone
To forget
The suffering I endured
I will seek justice
We were utterly despised
Oppressed and ridiculed
We were treated like rags
Were they fair
I am a child of the poor
But I am not ashamed
Because I still have dignity
Unlike you oppressors
