Translation of the song lyrics Anak - Sarah Geronimo

Anak (original)

Nung 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 ay malaki ka na
Nais mo’y maging Malaya
Di man sila payag
Walang magagawa
Ikaw nga ay biglang nagbago
Nagging matigas ang iyong ulo
At ang payo nila’y
Sinuway mo
Di mo man lang inisip na ang kanilang ginagawa’y para sa yo
Pagka’t ang nais mo’y masunod
Ang layaw mo dimo sila pinapansin
Nagdaan pa ang mga araw
At ang landas mo’y maligaw
Ikaw ay nalulong
Sa masama bisyo
At ang una mong nilapitan
Ang iyong inang lumuluha
At ang tanong nila ANAK
Ba’t ka nagkaganyan?
At ang iyong mata’y biglang lumuha
Ng di mo napapasin
Pagsisisi at sa isip mo’t nalaman
Mong ika’y nagkamali

(translation)

When you were born into this world
Your parents are very happy
And their hand
Your light
And your mom and dad are
Not knowing what to do
Minamasdan
Even you sleep
And your mother stays up at night
By mixing your milk
And in the morning you hug your
Father is very happy with you '
Now you are big
You want to be Free
They don’t even hut
Nothing to do
You have suddenly changed
Your head became stubborn
And their advice is
You disobeyed
You don't even think that what they are doing is for you
Because what you want is to be obeyed
Your pampering doesn't pay attention to them
The days went by
And your path is lost
You are addicted
In bad habits
And the first one you approached
Your mother is crying
And their question CHILD
Why are you like that?
And your eyes suddenly burst into tears
When you don't notice
Repentance and in your mind you know
You made a mistake
