SINGING BAHAY KUBO

Bahay Kubo (Nipa Hut) is a popular tagalog folk song. This is a song describing a small nipa hut surrounded by a variety of vegetables.

My 29 months old toddler sang the song completely by herself. I recorded it using my camera phone but mistakenly captured it sideways :(. Watch her video below...




Here are the lyrics of the song...

Tagalog lyrics of 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 meron pang

Labanos, mustasa

Sibuyas, kamatis

Bawang at luya

Sa paligid ligid

Ay puno ng linga

English translation of Bahay Kubo:

My nipa hut, although it’s small

The plants are diverse

Turnips and eggplants,

Winged beans and peanuts,

String beans, edible pots, lima beans,

White melon, gourd, white pumpkin and squash,

And still there are more, radish, mustard,

Onions, tomatoes, garlic and ginger,

All around are lush sesame plants.
