Текст и перевод песни Lani Misalucha - Anak (Minus One)

Anak (Minus One)

Noong 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 iyo

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 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 ng di mo napapansin
Nagsisisi at sa isip mo'y
Nalaman mong ika'y nagkamali
Nagsisisi at sa isip mo'y
Nalaman mong ika'y nagkamali
Nagsisisi at sa isip mo'y
Nalaman mong ika'y nagkamali...

Child (Minus One)

When you were born in 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 over you even when you slept
And at night your mother would stay up late
Making your milk
And in the morning your father would hold you
So happy to have you

Now you're all grown up
You want to be free
Even though they don't want you to
There's nothing they can do
You've suddenly changed
You've become stubborn

And you didn't listen to their advice
You didn't even think that
What they were doing was for you
Because all you wanted was
To get your way
You didn't pay attention to them

Days have passed
And you've lost your way
You've become addicted to bad habits
And the first person you went to
Was your crying mother
And the question,"My child, why have you become like this."
And your eyes suddenly filled with tears without you noticing
Regretting and in your mind
You realized you made a mistake
Regretting and in your mind
You realized you made a mistake
Regretting and in your mind
You realized you made a mistake...
