    Anak (Freddy Aguilar)


    My English lyrics:

    Am
    When you were born, a baby boy,
    F
    Your Mum and Dad were filled with joy
    G …...............................…................. Am
    And the light of their love shone over you.

    They couldn't take their eyes away,


    F
    Watching over you all day
    G …...............................…............... Am
    When you were awake and sleeping too.
    F …...................................................................... G
    At night your mother stayed up to prepare your milk
    ….................................. Am
    And keep you from all harm.
    F …...................................................................... G
    And in the morning your loving father came to you
    …............................ Am
    And held you in his arms.

    Now you’ve grown you want to be free


    And though your parents don’t agree
    They have no choice but just to let you be.
    A change came over you suddenly
    And stubbornly you would not see
    That their advice to you would be the key.
    You never realised that they just wanted you to have
    Everything you need.
    All you wanted was to follow your own desires
    So you paid no heed.

    The years passed by and you lost your way


    You left the path and went astray.
    You had no friends and you were running wild.
    But then you saw your mother cry
    And heard her ask the question: “Why?
    Oh, whatever happened to my child?”
    And suddenly your tears ran free and you realized
    That you'd been wrong.
    You repented of your wayward life and returned
    To where you belong.
    You repented of your wayward life and returned
    To where you belong.
    You repented of your wayward life and returned
    To where you belong.
    Tagalog lyrics:

    Nang 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 mata'y biglang lumuha ng di mo pinapansin
    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
    Nagsisisi at sa isip mo'y
    Nalaman mong ika'y nagkamali

    Official English version:

    When you were born into this world


    Your mom and dad saw a dream fulfilled
    Dream come true
    The answer to their prayers

    You were to them a special child


    Gave 'em joy every time you smiled
    Each time you cried
    They're at your side to care

    Child, you don't know


    You'll never know how far they'd go
    To give you all their love can give
    To see you through and God it's true
    They'd die for you, if they must, to see you here

    How many seasons came and went


    So many years have now been spent
    For time ran fast
    And now at last you're strong

    Now what has gotten over you?


    You seem to hate your parents too.
    Do speak out your mind.
    Why do you find them wrong?

    Child you don't know


    You'll never know how far they'd go
    To give you all their love can give
    To see you through and God it's true
    They'd die for you, if they must, to see you near.

    And now your path has gone astray.


    Child you ain't sure what to do or say.
    You're so alone;
    No friends are on your side.

    And child you now break down in tears.


    Let them drive away your fears.
    Where must you go?
    Their arms stay open wide.

    Child, you don't know.


    You'll never know how far they'd go
    To give you all their love can give,
    To see you through and God it's true
    They'd die for you, if they must, to see you here.
