before kpop spread all over asia...back in the days this song ANAK by Freddie Aguilar spread throughout Asia....this song has a japanese version, korean version, chinese version...and at that time internet was not a thing yet....imagine how massive this song was to spread through out asia
Not just in Asia but the rest of the world. Its one of the most translated song in world history and performed by many Asians, Americans, Europeans, Africans etc. Music artist.
i remember going to malaysia and hearing the malaysian version on the radio. That was around 2013, I think. Then I also heard it played/referred to on Infinite Challenge or another Yu Jae Seok show (Korean).
The guitarist is Jackie Tam, KZ's Music Partner for the duration of her appearance in the show. He's the one who helped her with translations of lyrics, taught her Mandarin pronunciatiosn, etc. He is a Chinese singer and songwriter. The song "Anak" became an international hit and was translated in 26 languages.
That song is a Filipino song "Anak" by Freddie Aguilar. It became an international hit and was translated into 27 languages. The lyrics speak of Filipino family values. Old Koreans know the song too but in the Korean language of course. Oh there is also a Spanish version of it "Hemano Mio"
Wow! You picked up the vibe “begging to be forgiven” without understanding the language! That is so spot-on! I just love your reactions because you truly “get” what music is all about. 👍🏻
I know! I was so amazed at how perceptive Wale is. This is also testimony to Freddie Aguilar’s gift of translating his intent into music. And KZ and the musical arranger’s talent in intensifying the message of the song further! Almost too heartbreaking to hear. It’s a situation no parent wants for their child
Freddie Aguilar Anak (English Version) Lyrics 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 2X [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
@@cfv0829 Yes that is the English version of the song not the word-for-word English translation of the Tagalog lyrics. But it still has somewhat the same core message, it just strikes you differently.
It' s a song for a prodigal child... Who ignored, disrespect their parents but eventually realised how important their parents are but it's too late.😭 It's like we're busy growing up.but forgetting that our parents are getting old..😭🥺😢
The Philippine ambassador to China, who was shown in the video, said in a related video that KZ was considered a cultural ambassador who helped promote relations between the two countries. KZ was also featured in magazines and TV shows while she was in China.
True, had you known the meaning of the lyrics, it will rip your heart apart. Imagine this song becoming an international hit during the time when internet and digital music were not a thing. ❤️😢
KZ hands down is the best singer to own any song she sings. And we are very proud of her, she brings the Filipino music worldwide with her own take and get you to really loving it to the end.
Ferdinand Pascual Aguilar known as Freddie Aguilar or Ka Freddie Aguilar, wrote a song entitled “Anak” which talks about this kind of matter. Freddie Aguilar is a Filipino folk musician who composes eloquent songs that could capture ones minds and hearts because of its message. His song, “Anak” became popular for its enlightening meaning that everyone could relate to. This song won double platinum award weeks after it was released in the country. The song did not only become popular in the Philippines, but also in different parts of the world. Freddie Aguilar did not only write “Anak” for others, but he also wrote this for himself as he could closely relate to it. When he was 18 years old, his father wanted him to be a lawyer, but he failed to acknowledge his father’s expectation for he left their home. He took a trip to faraway places alongside with only his guitar. Without having the guidance of his parents, he became addicted to gambling. After this, he realized his mistakes and decided to compose the song “Anak” for his parents as a way of asking for forgiveness. His parents welcomed Freddie home even after he disobeyed them. They also became closer after his parents read the lyrics of the classic song. Ka Freddie’s song, “Anak” did not only become popular because of its wonderful melody, but it was also known for its lyrics that articulate about family values. The message of this song is nearly identical to The Parable of The Prodigal Son. It’s about the everlasting love of parents to their children even in the moments wherein they are being disobeyed or rebelled against. The lesson of the song is no matter how much we push away our parents because of our obscure reasoning, we will always end up running back to them. Our parents will always be our home; our only companion in this world full of enemies. Hence, I do not believe in being independent because I know we will always be somehow dependent to our parents. Also, because I believe that they are the backbone of every decision and actions that we do. I recommend Freddie Aguilar’s song, “Anak” to be heard by the youth today. This is for the reason that most of the youngsters today tend to get their influences from modern media and they are not often supervised with it. As a result, some forgets to value and give respect to adults and to their parents. So as they listen to the song, they may cultivate lessons from it and apply it to their lives. Lastly, as they listen to Ka Freddie’s “Anak” they would learn how to value more their parents and realize the greatest love their fathers and mothers are giving to them that started ever since they were born. Listen and sing along with this extraordinary OPM classic song!
Waleska, you're the Jolina version of UK. Jolina is a filipina singer, host, & actress of the Philippines who likes that kind of style with colorful accessories.
The title of the song is ANAK. it was originally sang and composed by legendary Freddie Aguilar. And it is considered as the best opm song ever written. The song was translated in different languages around the world.
"Anak" in Filipino means Child is a Tagalog song written by Filipino folk-singer Freddie Aguilar. This song was a finalist for the inaugural 1978 Metropop Song Festival held in Manila. It became an international hit, and was translated into 27 languages and was released in 56 countries and it was also a hit in over 50 countries. Among these were Korea, Thailand, Hong Kong, Germany, Italy, Sweden, Netherlands, Belgium and Japan where a hit chart once had four different versions of Anak in the Top 10. 🤗
There is a Spanish singer who sang this song in a spanish interpretation. He sung it so emotional as well. Whatever language this song has been interpreted and sung with, still so emotional. Indeed, its a universal song by every parent and child in this planet world ❣️
I believe there is a spanish version of that song. "ANAK" is the tagalog name of that song. It was a very popular song way back 19 tralala and a lot of countries covered that song in their own languages.
I thought you will not ever react to this Anak version of KZ. Watched this as soon as i woke up LOL! I love this version of hers. There are other KZ songs that you havent reacted yet which to me are as amazing as this track. KZ's version of TADHANA (by UDD) on the Wish Bus is also aaawesome! (pls turn on the english captions when you react to this).
Mybe u should also check out d performance of d original singer Freddie Aguilar "Anak" in MYX live...new feels..his voice quality will also surely take you somewhere...
Waleska seems to burst with emotion even though she doesn't know yet the meaning of the song,but just by the delivery of KZ.How much more if she had fully understand the meaning of the lyrics.I find her so beautiful to watch 😍😊😏
I know I'm late, but gosh..."When you're begging to be forgiven..." as she said, it really is what the song was about and KZ did really well conveying that message of the song even when they understood neither of the languages.
"Anak" - child/son/daughter Originally Composed and Sung by Freddie Aguilar Been translated in many different languages Talks about the joy and hardship of having a child and what a child goes through in life as he or she grows.
If I remember correctly, "Anak", is based on Freddie Aguilar's own personal experience. The song came out in the late 1970's(?) and became an international hit translated to other languages.
The fact that you can appreciate the depth of music whose language you don’t understand shows me how knowledgeable and open minded you guys are. Thank you. This song tells the story of the deepest pain parents go through when their child has gone astray.
Pagsisi (Regret) ang nasa isip mo (is what's on your mind) nalaman mo (you knew) Ika'y nagkamali (you were wrong). Ika'y mali (you're wrong) is the last phrase she said it just slaps me in the face. She kept repeating this phrase it struck me, it just hurt. Haha love your reactions, on point intuitions even though you didnt know the lyrics
A child who disregarded, own parents. Who raised them. Forgotten them. Been to many bad experiences in lives. Now remembers them. Realizes the elders importance. Just like that.
Anak is a remnant of the golden age of Filipino modern culture. It crossed over oceans, having translations in multiple Asian languages. To the point that in each country, it's considered a "classic" hit. And as beautiful as KZ's rendition is, there was something soul-shattering about the way Freddie Aguilar sang this song, the same way a parent said something that made you suddenly shameful of what you have been doing with your life.
You may also react to KZ's latest live performance of the song Marupok that won the grand prize in the 2021 Himig song writing competition. KZ's interpretation here is more aggressive and danceable. Good quality video.
The song hit me to the core I was crying from start to finish. As a parent I am in the same predicament right now, hence the emotions. KZ always deliver I love her so much❤️
one of our legendary song of Filipinos... song's theme is similar to the Bible Story the Prodigal Son.. but of course KC always has that powerful way of interpreting songs...
I always watch your videos and I love your reactions. But I never comment. This song just got me bawling. When as a child you realize you were very wrong on not appreciating your parents, how bad you treated them, too late. Now you can’t do anything about it. “Begging to be forgiven” , begging yourself to forgive yourself. The regret… the pain…
Literal lyric’s translation - she was singing/ saying, “in your mind, you regret what you did, because YOU MADE A MISTAKE= IKA’Y NAGKAMALI. The theme of the song revolves around a very emotional interaction between a child and parents. Waleska’s instictive analysis is about 95 % accurate most of the time. BTW Tagalog place tremendous emphasis on every single Vowels of each word ie.. AkO Ay pIlIpInO= I’m Filipino. A= Ahhh E= Ehhhhh I= Eeeeeee O= Ohhhhh U=Oooooooo. 1) AkO= Ahhhh kOhhhhh = me, I am . 2) hIndI= heeeen deeee = No. 3) Oo = Ohhh Ohhhh= yes. I hope these helps🇵🇭.
Fun fact: the original song is Anak (Child, or in gender specifically Son or Daughter) by Freddie Aguilar. It is translated into 27 language. Check it out the spanish version
Yeah the last part pretty much summed up in terms of emotion - extreme regret , realizing that you were wrong but somehow - you can’t undo it. It ended in the note of regret.
Hi guys! It's so inspiring hearing your reaction about kz! It's always my prayer to hear from you about her, because you are the best when it comes to analyzations even without understanding the words of the song. You are just like kz..feelingly attached to the sound and performance itself..and i so luv you guys for that! There are so many songs she arranged and written and all of it sooo beautiful! Just luv her rendition of every songs she performed. I hope you could hear all of it! I couldn't wait to hear from you again..about kz of course! Maybe her and regine's rendition of the james bond movie theme songs! Writings on the wall and No time to die..Godbls you always! See you again is one of my favorites and you will not regret to listen to it also. The only song she sang on the Singer which you haven't heard yet.
You should watch the movie! With the same title "Anak" also prepare boxes of tissue coz you'll cry a lot.... I would love to watch u guys watching it with subtitle and see your reaction
This is the best rendition ever! My oldest daughter sang this song for her graduation from The High School of the Performing Arts, thats why I've always loved this piece.You say it' haunting---- very much so. Even when you can't understand, she is so emotionally connected with the piece. One cries, me included, just with the first minute. Incidentally, "Anak" is My Child. Smb
This song became so famous, singers all over the world made their own rendition of this and in different languages too. This song talks about the sacrifices and love of one's parents to his/her child. What fitting song this Mother's Day. Happy Mothers Day to your Mom guys. 😊
Hi guys. Been you*re subsc. Lovr your reactions to our filipino singers. Kz was one of the contestants during that singing competitions. Sad to say she lost but she was invited to perform during the finals and she sang our famous filipino song ANAK. Sung by the original singer mr freddie aguilar. Thanks.
I like how Efra gave his reaction thoughts, really comes from the heart. If it comes from the heart, it must be genuine and highly intellectual (EQ)❤️❤️❤️
ANAK is a popular song in the late 70's written and sung by Freddie Aguilar and because of its popularity it was translated in 27 languages. To me this song is classic because up to this new generation it's still relevant, anyone who hears the song whether in Tagalog, English or whatever language it was translated into it will still touch the heart of the person. Every time I hear this song it still touches my heart and think about the love of every parents to their child. ANAK means Child/Kid in English.
kz is singing it in tagalog and chinese version at the same time. you can check the english version of the song by freddie aaguilar titled CHILD. freddie aguilar is also a filipino folk singer.

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
Worries and don't know what to do
Watches 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 laps
Of your father, who is so joyful because of you
Now you are all grown up
You desire to be independent
Even if your parent 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 took 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 has past
And you took a wrong turn in life
You are imprisoned in a horrible vice
And you first approach
Your dear crying mother
And asked "Child, what happened to you?"
And your eyes immediately shed tears
Without you noticing
Regretful and you realized
That you were at fault
This is more like it. Great translation.
I agree too...
i certainly agree!
Reading this made me cry thinking of my parents 😭
I love the translation 😍😍 it makes more Poetic 😭😭 and i loved it. what a Sad song

Freddie Aguilar Anak (English Version) Lyrics
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
2X [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

"Anak" - child/son/daughter
Originally Composed and Sung by Freddie Aguilar
Been translated in many different languages
Talks about the joy and hardship of having a child and what a child goes through in life as he or she grows.

This made me emotional.😭 Anak is Child in english🤎
I got goosebumps all over. Wow!
Fun fact: the original song is Anak (Child, or in gender specifically Son or Daughter) by Freddie Aguilar. It is translated into 27 language.
Check it out the spanish version
when music defies language--- that's the power of Freddie Aguilar's "Anak"....and KZ's rendition here was so moving even in two languages.
obsessed with waleska's fashion ugh
The story of the song is tantamount to the biblical story "The prodigal son".
We agree with you both. Anak ( Child )is an old Filipino song composed by Freddie Aguilar translated in several languages.
That song is so popular to the point that many singers from China, Korea,Japan and more countries made their own version and cover that song
Awesome rendition of that song🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Yesss my only favorite ever KZ 😍 with the great reactors 😍.....
Do podcast with kz brother and sister.ill watch your podcast from start to finish.. God bless and keep safe.. go to the phil..
Yeah the last part pretty much summed up in terms of emotion - extreme regret , realizing that you were wrong but somehow - you can’t undo it. It ended in the note of regret.
Hi guys! It's so inspiring hearing your reaction about kz! It's always my prayer to hear from you about her, because you are the best when it comes to analyzations even without understanding the words of the song. You are just like kz..feelingly attached to the sound and performance itself..and i so luv you guys for that! There are so many songs she arranged and written and all of it sooo beautiful! Just luv her rendition of every songs she performed. I hope you could hear all of it! I couldn't wait to hear from you again..about kz of course! Maybe her and regine's rendition of the james bond movie theme songs! Writings on the wall and No time to die..Godbls you always! See you again is one of my favorites and you will not regret to listen to it also. The only song she sang on the Singer which you haven't heard yet.

You should watch the movie! With the same title "Anak" also prepare boxes of tissue coz you'll cry a lot.... I would love to watch u guys watching it with subtitle and see your reaction
That is so classic song and interpreted around the world ; Japan ; Korea etc
Guys, you still have not reacted to "SEE YOU AGAIN"...Please do react to that. Ty❤❤❤
This is the best rendition ever! My oldest daughter sang this song for her graduation from The High School of the Performing Arts, thats why I've always loved this piece.You say it' haunting---- very much so. Even when you can't understand, she is so emotionally connected with the piece. One cries, me included, just with the first minute. Incidentally, "Anak" is My Child. Smb
KZ is really great in song arrangement. SHE'S very talented!
KZ also performed SEE YOU AGAIN in this show :)
This song became so famous, singers all over the world made their own rendition of this and in different languages too. This song talks about the sacrifices and love of one's parents to his/her child. What fitting song this Mother's Day. Happy Mothers Day to your Mom guys. 😊
I know KZ is good but i dont even look at what they react anymore.. I just look at Waleska's fave the whole time... Dayum! You are so beautiful...
Hi guys. Been you*re subsc. Lovr your reactions to our filipino singers. Kz was one of the contestants during that singing competitions. Sad to say she lost but she was invited to perform during the finals and she sang our famous filipino song ANAK. Sung by the original singer mr freddie aguilar. Thanks.
Kz is great react see you again u gonna blow your mind??
I like how Efra gave his reaction thoughts, really comes from the heart. If it comes from the heart, it must be genuine and highly intellectual (EQ)❤️❤️❤️
ANAK is a popular song in the late 70's written and sung by Freddie Aguilar and because of its popularity it was translated in 27 languages. To me this song is classic because up to this new generation it's still relevant, anyone who hears the song whether in Tagalog, English or whatever language it was translated into it will still touch the heart of the person. Every time I hear this song it still touches my heart and think about the love of every parents to their child. ANAK means Child/Kid in English.
I love Efra's reaction. Hahaha.... seems like you are being tickled. Hahaha..
kz is singing it in tagalog and chinese version at the same time. you can check the english version of the song by freddie aaguilar titled CHILD. freddie aguilar is also a filipino folk singer.
Happy Mother's Day to all moms out there!!!! Love this song and the rendition.
Like your looks Waleska... so cool and gorgeous... 💐💖💗💝

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
Worries and don't know what to do
Watches 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 laps
Of your father, who is so joyful because of you
Now you are all grown up
You desire to be independent
Even if your parent 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 past
And you took a wrong turn in life
You are imprisoned in a horrible vice
And you first approach
Your dear crying mother
And asked, "Child, what happened to you?"
And your eyes immediately shed tears
Without you noticing
Regretful and you realized
That you were at fault
