Bahay Kubo

Inspired by the song Bahay Kubo!

Bahay kubo (my nipa hut) 
kahit munti (no matter how small)
ang halaman doon ay sari sari (has a garden of various plants)
singkamas (turnip), at talong (and eggplant),
sitaw (stringbean), bataw (white bean), patani (lintel),
kundol (wintermelon), patola (loofah), 
upo\t (bottle gourd) kalabasa (squash)
at saka meron pa (and in addition -)
labanos (radish), mustasa (and mustard patch)
sibuyas (onions), kamatis (tomato)
bawang at luya (garlic and ginger)
at sa paligid-ligid (and all around)
ay puno ng linga (is folled with sesame bushes) . . .
