Nu'ng 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 ng 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?"
Pagsisisi at sa isip mo'y nalaman mong
Ikaw'y nagkamali.
Pagsisisi at sa isip mo'y nalaman mong
Ikaw'y nagkamali.

When you were born into this world
How joyful your parents were
And their hands were your light
And your mother and father didn't know what to do
They watched you even in your sleep
And in the evening your mother stay up late
To prepare your milk
And in the morning your father places you in his lap
And he is so happy because of you
Now that you've grown up
You want to be free
Even if they don't agree with you
They can't stop you.
You have suddenly changed
You've become more stubborn
And you went against their advice
You didn't enven think that
What they were doing was only for you
Because you wanted to follow your whims
So many days have passed
And you went astry
And you succumbed to evil things
And the first person that you went back to
Was your mother who was crying
And she asked you "My son, why have you become like this?"
And tears roll down your cheeks
Without you noticing it.
Remorse on your mind when you found out
That you have been wrong
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
