Filipino text.
Bahay Kubo is perhaps the best-known and best-loved folk song in the Philippines. Its composer is unknown. Its tagalog lyrics have been passed down through the generations by way of the oral tradition. The words and music which appear in this book represent but one of the many versions of this folk song. The song's diatonic melody and waltz-like rhythm suggest European influences. The lyrics include plants which are not indigenous to the Philippines, such as peanuts (mani), eggplant (talong), and mustard (mustasa). These foreign elements could mean that the folk song originated or evolved during colonial times. "Bahay Kubo" tells of a family living in a small nipa hut, surrounded by a garden filled with vegetables. It is a song that celebrates the bounty of our land.--Front cover of the book
