Lyrics - Tagalog
(Folk song from the Philippines)
Bahay kubo, kahit munti
Ang halaman doon ay sari-sari.
Singkamas at talong, sigarilyas at mani
Sitaw, bataw, patani.
English Translation - Cubed House*
Cubed house*, even though it is small,
The plants that grow around it are varied:
Turnip and eggplant, winged bean and peanut
String bean, hyacinth bean, lima bean.
*Square hut made of nipa palm leaves and bamboo. (source)
