hmmm... you translated it good doc alan, but can you sing it in tagalog?Originally Posted by Doc Alan
If there's anyone else on the forum like me who didn't know before this thread, "Bahay Kubo" is the local name for Nipa Hut, a basic filipino architectural type of house. The roof is made from coconut husks or nipa leaves, the walls from bamboo.
The song roughly translates to the effect that "My nipa hut, although it's small, the plants are diverse, turnips + eggplants, winged beans + peanuts...white pumpkin + squash...+ there are still more, radish, mustard, onions, tomatoes. garlic + ginger, all around are lush sesame plants".
Thanks for posting a cultural thread, Majah
