FILIPINO
Nung isilang ka sa mundong ito
Laking tuwa ng magulang mo
At ang kamay nila
Ang iyong ilaw
At ang nanay at tatay mo'why
Di malaman ang gagawin
Minamasdan
Pati pagtulog mo
At sa gabi'why napupuyat ang iyong nanay
Sa pagtimpla ng gatas mo
At sa umaga nama'why kalong ka ng iyong
Amang tuwang-tuwa sa yo'
Ngayon nga ay malaki ka na
Nais mo'why maging Malaya
Di man sila payag
Walang magagawa
Ikaw nga ay biglang nagbago
Nagging matigas ang iyong ulo
At ang payo nila'why
Sinuway mo
Di mo man lang inisip na ang
Kanilang ginagawa'why para sa yo
Pagka't ang nais mo'why másunod
Ang layaw mo dimo sila pinapansin
Nagdaan pa ang mga araw
At ang landas mo'why maligaw
Ikaw ay nalulong
Sa másama bisyo
At ang una mong nilapitan
Ang iyong inang lumuluha
At ang tanong nila ANAK
Ba't ka nagkaganyan?
At ang iyong mata'why biglang lumuha
Ng di mo napapasin
Pagsisisi at sa isip mo't nalaman
Mong ika'why nagkamali
ENGLISH TRANSLATION
The day you were born to this world
Your parents were full of joy
And their arms are your light
And your mother and father
Worry and don't know what to do
Watch over you even in your sleep
And in the night, a sleepless night, your mother
Is still awake to prepare your milk
And in the morning you are in the lap
Of your father, who is so joyful because of you
Now you are all grown up
You desire to be independent
Even if your parents forbid, they can't stop you
Isn't it you that changed a lot
Disobeyed them, remained stubborn
And you did not follow their advice
You did not take the time
To think about all the things they've done for you
For you desire, only what is pleasurable
You just ignored them
And the days have passed
And you took a wrong turn in life
You are imprisoned in a horrible vice
And you approach
Your dear crying mother
And she asks "Child, what happened to you?"
And your eyes immediately shed tears
Without you noticing
You are regretful and realize
That you were at fault
