- “Anak is the Tagalog word for child. It’s probably one of the most popular songs of all time in our language. Growing up in the Philippines, my grandmother would sing it to me.”
This AAPI Heritage Month, band vocalist Staff Sgt. Francisco Aisporna performs Freddie Aguilar’s 1978 mega-hit “Anak,” which brought Filipino folk music to the world stage, both in the original Tagalog and in translation to 27 languages. The message of the song is universal, speaking to the everlasting bond between parents and their children, through the good times and the bad.
“When I moved to the U.S., I met Americans who knew the song, even if they didn’t know what it was called, because it’s so popular in Southeast Asia.”
Staff Sgt. Aisporna immigrated to America with his family at 11 years old and became a U.S. citizen upon enlisting in the Army in 2014. Since then, his Army service has taken him around the world and led him to join the West Point Band in 2020.
“I always wanted to pursue music, but I didn’t know how. I originally did supply for the Army - 92Y - but my commanders would find out I could sing and ask me to perform for talent shows or a change of command, so I was doing music throughout my Army career. I didn’t know there was such a thing as Army bands until I saw a flyer in the DFAC in Germany and, thankfully, my command supported me in auditioning for the USAREUR Band [now called the USAREUR-AF Band]. So, I took a leap of faith, and that’s how my band journey started.”
This video was filmed in West Point’s Thayer Award Room in front of the portrait of Senator Daniel Inouye, who was awarded the honor in 2001 for his life-long dedication to our nation’s ideals, despite initially being denied entry into the Armed Forces due to his Japanese-American heritage. Throughout his life, Senator Inouye was also hailed as a champion of our nation’s Filipino community and was awarded the Philippine Legion of Honor in addition to his many American military awards, including a Purple Heart and Medal of Honor.
We are proud to celebrate the service of our Asian-American and Pacific Islander Soldiers during AAPI Heritage Month and all year long! Thank you for your service!

Father and Mather… I'm sorry
私が産まれた時
父さん母さん達は
どんなに喜んだ
事だろう…
日に日に育って
行く この私を
見て 貴方達は
幸せいっぱい
だったろう
哀しみも喜びも
共に生きて行く
本当の家族の愛を
知らぬまま
誰の言葉を耳を
傾けようとは
しなかった
父よ母よ 今 私は一人になって
本当の孤独の意味を悟った
全ての人達に
信じて貰えぬ
深い言葉の意味を
誰を疑い そして
誰を傷付ける
自分を呪い
この身を滅ぼす
父よ母よ 今
貴方達は
どう思っている
だろう…
自分達の事よりも
未来の事よりも
この私に全てを
託して…
後悔をするなら 悔やむなら
何故 この私は
産まれた
何故 この私は
産まれた
何故 この私は
産まれた…
悲しみが哀しみを
呼び 不幸が
不幸を呼び
哀れみを呼ぶ
この身体の痛みは
心の痛みは
誰にも判らない…
人の情けを
どれだけ 私は
知っている
人の苦しみを
どれだけ 私は
悟った…
何故 私は
この世に産まれた
何故 私は
この世に産まれた
何故 私は
この世に産まれた… ？
Child
When you were born in this world
Your parents were full of joy
And their hands were your light
And your mother and father
Didn't know what to do
Watched over you even in your sleep
And in the night, your mother stayed
awake to prepare your milk
And in the morning you were 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 they dont agree, there was nothing they can do
You suddenly changed
Became stubborn/hardheaded
And their advice, you disobeyed
You did not even consider that what they were doing were for you
Because you only want to cater to your vices
You ignored them
And the days had passed
And your path took a wrong turn
You are mired in a horrible vice
And the first one you approached
Is your crying mother
And the question "Child, what happened to you?"
And your eyes suddenly shed tears
Without you noticing
Regretful, and in your mind you realized
That you were wrong
Regretful, and in your mind you realized
That you were wrong
Regretful, and in your mind you realized
That you were wrong
I think this is the best english version so far. From the time the child is born the parents had so much joy , the mother had to be awake every time in the night just to prepare milk for the child and in the morning the child is on the lap of his father very happy caring the child. When grown up, a teenager wanted to be independent despite parents objections but can do nothing. And then the grown up child began to go astry and engaged in various vices. Feeling frustrated, he first approched her crying mother and tells him what happen to you. And the songs lyrics tells the son if only you heed his parents advises ,he will not go astray. Thats the message of the songs that happen in many families in many countries.
Bonne
