Текст и перевод песни Asin - Anak

Anak

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'y malaki ka na
Nais mo'y maging malaya
'Di man sila payag
Walang magagawa

Ikaw nga'y 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 iyo

'Pagka't 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 mata'y
Biglang lumuha nang 'di mo pinapansin

Pagsisisi at sa isip mo't
Nalaman mong ika'y nagkamali

Pagsisisi at sa isip mo't
Nalaman mong ika'y nagkamali

Pagsisisi at sa isip mo't
Nalaman mong ika'y nagkamali

Pagsisisi at sa isip mo't
Nalaman mong ika'y nagkamali

Child

When thou art born into this world
Your parents were so elated
And their hands were your light

And your mother and father
Did not know what to do
Watched even when you slept

And at night your mother stayed up
To prepare your milk

And in the morning you were carried by
Your father who was overjoyed with you

Now you are grown up
You want to be free
Even when they don't agree
There is nothing they can do

You suddenly changed
Your head became hard
And you disobeyed their advice

You never thought about it
That what they do
Is for you

Because what you want is
To follow your whims
You do not pay attention to them

Days passed
And your path went astray
You got addicted
To bad habit

And the first one you approached
Was your weeping mother
And the question, "My child,
Why did you become like this?"

And your eyes
Suddenly filled with tears without your knowing

Regret and your mind and
You realised you were wrong

Regret and your mind and
You realised you were wrong

Regret and your mind and
You realised you were wrong

Regret and your mind and
You realised you were wrong
