This is a song that I have enjoyed for many years in the original form.
Released in 1980 by Freddie Aguilar. It made the International top 40. The title is "Anak" and translates to English as "Child".
To hear the words and the music is very soul haunting.
For the last 40 days or so I spent a good deal of time working on a project for a friend which involved selecting music and and making a DVD of a fifty-five year history of Height Street Baptist Church, in Bakersfield, Calif.
When we were searching for music on the Internet to use in the back ground I found the song on YouTube played it for my friend. She instantly fell in love with the song.
When we completed the DVD that will be distributed to the members of the church there is a title at the end of the DVD that says "Child" as we found an English version of the song.
Below is the English version, there are version in Japanese, Chinese, Indonesian, as well as other languages.
Trust you enjoy the song as much as I do.
Currently I am sitting in a hotel room in Oakland, California waiting for a ship as i am a Merchant Sailor and the ocean is where I make my income.
May the Lord provide me with one next week.
