ANAK

Description: My Rendition of Freddie Aguilar's "ANAK". A salute to a down to earth artist "Mr. Freddie Aguilar" himself who wrote and performed this song both in its' original Tagalog lyrics and in English. I also did this song for my parents who have endured quite a bit during my "growing up" days(years). I know I ran through fences and twisted quite a few rules for my own benefit. I Love You Ma Pa.

III Nagdaan pa ang mga araw More time has passed At ang landas mo'y naligaw And your life has gone into chaos Ikaw ay nalulong sa masamang bisyo You got addicted to drugs and alcohol (implied) At ang una among nilapitan And the first person you turned back to Ang iyong inang lumuluha Is your mother who is in tears At ang sabi "Anak, ba't ka nagkaganyan?" And she said, "what have you done my son?" At ang iyong mga mata'y biglang lumuha ng di mo napapansin And your eyes started welling up with tears Pagsisisi ang sa isip mo't nalaman mong ika'y nagkamali (3X) Repent fills your heart and realize now that you have blundered
