Paroles et traduction Gary Valenciano - Anak

Anak

Ooooh

Nang isilang ka sa mundong ito
Laking tuwa ng magulang mo
At ang kamay nila ang iyong ilaw

At ang nanay at tatay mo
'Di malaman ang gagawin
Minamasdan pati pagtulog mo

Sa gabi napupuyat ang iyong nanay sa pagtimpla ng gatas mo
At sa umaga nama'y kalong ka ng iyong amang tuwang-tuwa sa 'yo, oh
Ngayon nga ay malaki ka na
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 iyong inang lumuluha
At ang tanong, "Anak ba't ka nagkaganyan?"
At ang iyong mga mata'y biglang lumuha ng '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

Ika'y nagkamali
Ika'y nagkamali, oh
Oh woah oh oh
Ika'y nagkamali

Anak

Ooooh

When you were born into this world
Your parents were so happy
And their hands were your light

And your mother and father
Didn't know what to do
Watching your every move

At night, your mother stays up to feed you
And in the morning, your father holds you close, so happy with you, oh
Now you're all grown up
You want to be free
Even though they don't agree, they can't stop you
You've suddenly changed, you've become stubborn
And you've disobeyed their advice

You didn't think about what they were doing for you
Because you wanted to follow your own whims, you didn't listen to them
As the days went by, you lost your way
You became addicted to bad habits
And the first person you turned to was your mother, who was in tears
And the question, "My son, why have you become like this?"
And your eyes suddenly filled with tears, without you noticing
Remorse filled your mind and you realized you'd made a mistake
Remorse filled your mind and you realized you'd made a mistake

You made a mistake
You made a mistake, oh
Oh woah oh oh
You made a mistake
