Lyrics
Akin pang naaalala
Noong si Ama’y nabubuhay pa
Ang sabi niya’y, «Freddie
Mag-aral kang mabuti
Tulungan mo ang 'yong sarili»
Ang nais niya’y hindi nasunod
'Pagkat ako’y may dahilan
Ang nais ko’y umawit
Tumugtog ng gitara
At ako’y kanyang pinagbigyan
At kami’y nagkahiwalay
'Pagkat ako’y nangibang-bayan
At nang kami’y magkita
Siya ay bangkay na
Pumanaw na ang aking ama
Saan man siya naroroon
Mga payo niya’y tataglayin ko
Ang kanyang alaala
Ay lalagi sa isip ko
Kahit siya’y wala na
CODA
Tulungan mo ang 'yong sarili
Tulungan mo ang 'yong sarili
Tulungan mo ang 'yong sarili
Lyrics translation
My memory
When father was still alive
He said, " Freddie
You study carefully
Help yourself»
What he wanted was not drowned
'Cause I have reason
What I want to sing
Guitar player
And he gave me
And we were separated
'When I went abroad
And when we met
He was a corpse
My father has passed away
Wherever he is
His counsels will I take upon me
His memories
Be haunt in my mind
Even he was gone
CODA
Help yourself
Help yourself
Help yourself
