Original Tagalog LyricsNoong 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 iyo Ngayon nga ay malaki ka na
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 pinapansin Pagsisisi ang sa isip mo’y
Nalaman mong ika’y nagkamali Kahapon ay nilimot mo
Pati ang iyong masamang bisyo
Laking pasalamat ng magulang mo Ikaw nga ay tuluyang nagbago
Natagpuan ang sarili.
Galaw ng isip mo, matuwid na. Patuloy ang takbo ng araw
At ikaw ay natutong umibig.
‘Di naglaon at ipinasya mong
Lumagay ka na sa tahimik Pagkabinata mo’y natapos na
Malapit ka nang maging ama
Kaya lalong nagsikap nang husto Dumating ang iyong hinihintay
Sinilang ang panganay mo
Parang langit ang ‘yong nadama Ngayon, anak, alam mo na
Kung ano’ng pakiramdam
ng maging isang ama Ganyan din ang nadarama
Ng iyong ama’t ina
nang ikaw ay makita Ngayon iyong naramdaman
Ngayon iyong naranasan
Ngayon iyong maiintindihan Tama pala ang iyong ina
Tama pala ang iyong ama
Ngayon hindi ka na magtataka Hindi pala birong maging magulang
O ngayon iyong dinaranas… | Free English TranslationWhen you were born in this world
Your parents were very happy
And their hands were your light And your mom and dad
were beside themselves
Watching even when you were asleep Your mom stayed up nights
preparing your milk
And in the morning you were cradled
by your dad who was so fond of you Now that you’ve grown
You want to be free
Though they don’t agree
They can’t do anything You suddenly changed
You became stubborn
And you went against their advice You didn’t even take into account
what they did for you. ‘Cause what you wanted was
to follow your whim.
You didn’t pay them heed. The days passed
You lost your way
You fell into bad ways And the first you approached
was your weeping mother
And her question: “Child,
What happened to you?” And your eyes welled up
The tears unconsciously fell Regret was on your mind
You realized you were wrong You forgot yesterday
Including your bad ways
Your parents were very grateful You really cleaned up,
found yourself.
Your thinking got straight. The days continued on
And you learned to love.
Before long you decided
to settle down Your youth is over
You’re almost a father
So you strive all you can The day arrived
Your first child was born
It felt like heaven to you Now, child, you know
what if feels like
to be a father It was also what your
mom and dad felt
when they saw you Now you feel
Now you experience
Now you understand Your mother was right
Your father was right
Now you no longer wonder It’s no joke to be a parent
Now you’re experiencing it… |
