F. Search for Song ANAK by Freddie Aguilar?
No'ng isilang ka sa mundong ito
Laking tuwa ng magulang mo
At ang kamay nila ang 'yong 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
Ang 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
Nang 'di mo napapansin
Pagsisisi ang sa isip mo't
Nalaman mong ika'y nagkamali
Pagsisisi ang sa isip mo't
Nalaman mong ika'y nagkamali
Pagsisisi ang sa isip mo't
Nalaman mong ika'y nagkamali
His song, “Anak” became popular for its enlightening meaning that everyone could relate to. This song
won double platinum award weeks after it was released in the country. The song did not only become
popular in the Philippines, but also in different parts of the world. It was translated in 26 languages and
was covered in 55 different countries. “Anak” was also included in many top-rated charts in other
countries such as Japan, Indonesia, The United States and countries from Western Europe. The song was
not a one-hit-wonder for it is not only popular wayback in 1978, but it’s still being used and it is still
known by the public. This song was also used by a Korean action movie entitled “Gangnam Blues” which
was released last March 2015. Now, that’s what I call a classic song!
