Sa-masa* engkau di-lahirkan*
Terkabul sudah satu impian
Impian nyata kurnia Illahi
Engkau anak istimewa
Kebahagiaan ibu ayah
Bila menangis dan juga tertawa
(chorus)
Hai! Anak kau tak mengerti
Betapa mulia pengorbanan mereka
Memberikan kasih sayang
Agar dapat menikmati dunia
Masa silih berganti
Kau membesar tak di-sedari*
Cepat sungguh kau pandai bicara
Apa yang telah terjadi
Pada mereka kau durhaka*
Mengapa begitu
Apakah salahnya
Hai! Anak kau tak mengerti
Betapa mulia pengorbanan mereka
Memberikan kasih sayang
Agar dapat menikmati dunia
Kini kau telah tersesat
Hilang diri dan pedoman
Tak saorang* pun yang mengambil tahu
Dan kini engkau menangis
Ibu ayah menghampiri
Walau engkau telah terpesong jauh
Hai! Anak kau tak mengerti
Betapa mulia pengorbanan mereka
Memberikan kasih sayang
Agar dapat menikmati dunia
Hai! Anak kau tak mengerti
Betapa mulia pengorbanan mereka
Memberikan kasih sayang
Agar dapat menikmati dunia

******************************
Freddie Aguilar recorded this Malay language version of 'Anak' for his one & only Malay language album entitled 'Kenangan Ayah' ('A Father's Memories') in 1979. The lyrics were translated from Tagalog to Malay language by Datuk M. Nasir (one of Singapore & Malaysia's most prolific & successful singer-songwriter) who was credited as vocal assistant for the album.
For Carefree's version of the song, the lyrics were written by the late Datuk Sharifah Aini, one of Malaysia's most legendary female songstress and actress.
Sweet Charity (Singapore's legendary rock band) recorded their own rendition of 'Anak' too, entitled 'Anak (Balada Seorang Ibu Tua)' ['Child (An Old Mother's Ballad)'].
These three Malay language versions of course have different lyrics but convey the same message - parents' true love, disappointment, advice & hope for their 'Anak' 😊
