Anak 'Child' Freddie Aguilar, 1978

When you were born into this world - ANAK (Original song & lyrics in Filipino)
Your mom and dad saw a dream fulfilled -
A dream come true -
The answer to their prayers - Nung isilang ka sa mundong ito
Laking tuwa ng magulang mo
You were to them a special child - At ang kamay nila
Gave 'em joy every time you smiled - Ang iyong ilaw
Each time you cried -
They're at your side to care - At ang nanay at tatay mo'why
Di malaman ang gagawin
*Child, you don't know - Minamasdan
You'll never know how far they'd go - Pati pagtulog mo
To give you all their love can give -
At sa gabi'y napupuyat ang iyong nanay
To see you through, and God it's true - Sa pagtimpla ng gatas mo
They'd die for you, if they must, to see you live - At sa umaga nama'y kalong ka ng iyong
Amang tuwang-tuwa sa yo'
How many seasons came and went -
So many years have now been spent - Ngayon ngay malaki ka na
For time ran fast - Nais moy maging Malaya
And now at last you're strong- Di man sila payag
Walang magagawa
Now what has gotten over you -
You seem to hate your parents too - Ikaw ngay biglang nagbago
Do speak out your mind - Nagging matigas ang iyong ulo
Why do you find them wrong - At ang payo nilay
Child, you don't know - Sinuway mo
You'll never know how far they'd go -
To give you all their love can give - Di mo man lang inisip na ang
Kanilang ginagawa'y para sa yo
To see you through, and God it's true - Pagka't ang nais mo'y masunod
They'd die for you, if they must, to see you live - Ang layaw mo dimo sila pinapansin

And now your path has gone astray - Nagdaan pa ang mga araw
Child, you ain't sure what to do or say - At ang landas mo'y maligaw
You're so alone - Ikaw ay nalulong
No friends are on your side - Sa masamang bisyo

And child, you now break down in tears - At ang una mong nilapitan
Let them drive away your fears- Ang iyong inang lumuluha
Where must you go - At ang tanong ANAK
Their arms stay open wide - Ba't ka nagkaganyan?

At ang iyong mga matay biglang lumuha

Ng di mo napapansin
Pagsisisi at sa isip mo't nalaman
Mong ika'y nagkamali
