Filipino Children's Songs - Bahay Kubo → English translation

Bahay Kubo

Bahay kubo, kahit munti

Ang halaman doon ay sari-sari.

Singkamas at talong, sigarilyas at mani

Sitaw, bataw, patani.

Kundol, patola, upo’t kalabasa

At saka mayroon pang labanos, mustasa,

Sibuyas, kamatis, bawang at luya

Sa paligid-ligid ay puro linga.

Nipa hut, though small

Various kinds of plants grow there.

Turnip and eggplant,

Winged bean and peanut

String bean, hyacinth bean, lima bean.

Winter melon, luffa, squash

And there’s also radish, mustard,

Onion, tomato

Garlic and ginger

And sesame seeds are everywhere
