Anak (Child) by Freddie Aguilar

First time i heard this song when i was a little. In that time i heard the English version of this song, but i don’t know who is the singer. When i heard this song is really touch my entire heart, mind, body and soul. This song really change my life (thanks to Freddie Aguilar), whatever i do and wherever i go, i will never try to disappoint my mom and dad.

This song tell story about a child whom gave his/her parents such a joy and happiness and grew with love and care. But after many years came and went that child seems hate his/her parents. He/She always blame his/her parents of what they have done, always find them wrong. And then that child go away, go and go as far as possible from his/her parent. After many years has pass, after that child fall into so many troubles. He didn’t know what to do and say, he didn’t have a friend any more and no one in his/her side any more. He start to cry and going home. And there, his/her parents still the same, wait for him/her come home and open their arms to welcome their lovely child…

This is the lyrics for the english version:

Anak (Child) by Freddie Aguilar

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 live

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 live

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 live

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 live
