Side A Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The opening line of Side A's "Anak" states "Nung isilang ka sa mundong ito," which translates to "When you were born into this world." The song is a ballad that explores the emotions of a parent towards their child. The lyrics express the struggles and sacrifices of a parent in raising their child, with each verse tackling different milestones in a child's life, from birth to adolescence to eventually leaving home to start their own life. The chorus contains the repeated line "Ang buhay ay mayroong kanya-kanyang kwento," which means "Life has its own story for each one."
Through the song, the lyrics emphasize that a parent's love for their child is unconditional despite the challenges and difficulties they may face. It also highlights the importance of recognizing and appreciating a parent's love and sacrifices. The last few lines of the song urge children to take care of their parents, who have given everything for them.
