Nipa Hut-Bahay Kubo: Filipino folk song (English)

Nipa Hut
(Bahay Kubo)

Nipa hut even though it is small
The plants it houses are varied
Turnip and eggplant, winged bean and peanut
String bean, hyacinth bean, lima bean.

Wax gourd, luffa, white squash and pumpkin,
And there is also radish, mustard,
Onion, tomato, garlic, and ginger
And all around are sesame seeds.
