Canción de la Semana

Canción de la semana. Anak

Anak. 1981. 

Freddie Aguilar.

La canción Anak (palabra filipina o tagala que significa Niño) está cantada en idioma Tagalog, el primero de los tres que se hablan en Filipinas.

ANAK.

Freddie Aguilar

Noong isilang ka sa mundong ito,

Laking tuwa ng magulang mo.

At ang kamay nila ang iyong ilaw.

At ang nanay at tatay mo,

'Di malaman ang gagawin.

Minamasdan pati pagtulog mo.

Sa gabi 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'y malaki ka na,

Nais mo'y maging malaya.

'Di man sila payag,

Walang magagawa.

Ikaw nga'y biglang nagbago,

Naging matigas ang iyong ulo.

At ang payo nila'y,

Sinuway mo.

Hindi mo man lang inisip

Na ang kanilang ginagawa'y para sa iyo.

Pagka't ang nais mo masunod ang layaw mo,

'Di mo sila pinapansin.

Nagdaan pa ang mga araw

At ang landas mo'y naligaw

Ikaw ay nalulon sa masamang bisyo.

At ang una mong nilapitan

Ang iyong inang lumlumha.

At ang tanong,

"Anak, ba't ka nagkaganyan?"

At ang iyong mga mata'y biglang lumuha

Ng 'di mo napapansin

Pagsisisi ang sa isip mo,

Nalaman mong ika'y nagkamali.

Freddie Aguilar también grabó una versión en Inglés de este tema: Child.

Child. (Anak).

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 here

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 near

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 here

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.

La versión en español de Anak,que no tiene nada que ver con la letra original, la hizo Miguel Bosé en  1981, en el LP Más Allá, con el título Hermano mío.

Hermano mío. (Anak).

Adaptación al español:Miguel Bosé.

Difícil es el amanecer,

Profundo este anochecer,

Suave es el silencio

que huele a tí.

Que frágil es lo que yo te doy,

Que fuerte aun cuando yo no estoy,

Que eterno para quien

lo quiera romper.

No me dejes que esta noche soy cobarde

Estoy desnudo de valor.

Quédate hermano mío

que tu sombra es

Mi refugio y mi calor.

Tú eres mi debilidad,

Mi océano y mi tempestad

Podrías destruirme y volverme a inventar.

Quisiera abrirte de par en par

Vibrar en tu sensibilidad

Tenerte en exclusiva,

poderte robar.

La nostalgia que me brilla en la mirada

Es por que no estas aquí.

Vierta el cielo sus estrellas sobre tí

Y te traiga hasta mí.

No ha habido nunca una mujer,

Nadie antes nadie después

Capaz de conquistarme como lo haces tú.

Decir te quiero, así sin más

Y limitar mi devoción

Seria traicionarte por pudor.

Quiero ser protagonista de tu vida,

Ser tu amigo de verdad.

Vuela alto, hermano mío,

Que en tu vuelo toco al fin la libertad.

Vuela alto, hermano mío,

Que en tu vuelo toco al fin la libertad

Vuela alto, hermano mío,

Que en tu vuelo toco al fin la libertad.
