Bahay kubo, kahit munti
Ang halaman doon ay sari-sari.
Singkamas at talong, sigadilyas 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.
Let’s play a Bahay Kubo game! Tell me the first thing that comes to mind when you hear each of the vegetables featured in the song. For example, what’s the first thing that enters your head when you hear the word “mustasa”? What about “patola?” It doesn’t have to be a dish, just the first thing that pops in your head. Tara, maglaro tayo! Sisimulan ko!
Bahay Kubo kahit munti, ang halaman doon, ay sari-sari…
singkamas – cut into strips tapos isasawsaw sa asin
at talong – torta of course!
sigarilyas – ginisa na may konting sabaw
at mani – nilaga is the best
sitaw – adobong sitaw
bataw – ano ba ang bataw…
patani – ano ba ang patani…
kundol – ano ba ang kundol…
patola – uh-oh, loofah?
upo’t — a big vegetable
kalabasa — pinakbet
at tsaka meron pa — but wait there’s more
labanos — sa sinigang
mustasa — yun sa Mangan at Ebun masarap
sibuyas — onion rings
kamatis — with a little bit of toyo
bawang — in everything!
luya — salabat
sa paligid-ligid ay puno ng linga — nilalagay sa palitaw
Feel free to cut and paste the above list and put in your own associations.
O kayo naman!

May 28, 2007 at 5:23 am (17 years ago)Well, I don’t really cook so the first thing that popped in my head after each vegetable was a blank… except for patola. For some reason, a batuta (policeman’s baton) came into mind! Hahahahahaha! Oh, and they should change the title of the song to “Ang gulayan.” (is that what you call a vegetable garden?) Oh, and like you, I liked playing the game “bahay kubo” as well even though we rarely get to finish the entire song!
