Anak [English translation]

Child

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
