Текст и перевод песни Freddie Aguilar - Anak

Anak

No'ng isilang ka sa mundong ito
Laking tuwa ng magulang mo
At ang kamay nila ang 'yong 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 iyo
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 iyo
'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
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
Pagsisisi ang sa isip mo't
Nalaman mong ika'y nagkamali

Anak

When you were born into this world
The happiness of your parents
And their hands have been your light
And your mom and dad
Didn't know what to do
Watching you still sleep
And at night Your mother is sleepless
Preparing your milk for you
And in the morning your father holds you
So happy with to you
Now that you are a big boy
You want to be free
Even if they don't agree, they can't do anything
Suddenly you have changed
You have become stubborn
And you have disobeyed their advice
You didn't even think of it
What they do is for you
Because you wanted your whims to be followed
You don't pay attention to them
More days have passed
And your path has gone astray
You are addicted to bad habits
And the first person you approached
Your mother in tears
And the question, "My son, child, why have you become like this?"
And your eyes suddenly filled with tears
When you didn't realize
Regret in your mind
And you found out that you were wrong
Regret in your mind
And you found out that you were wrong
Regret in your mind
And you found out that you were wrong
