Bahay Kubo Lyrics by Jona
Bahay-kubo, kahit munti
Ang halaman doon ay sari-sari
Singkamas at talong
Sigarilyas at mani
Sitaw, bataw, patani
Kundol, patola, upo’t kalabasa
At tsaka mayro’n pang
Labanos, mustasa
Sibuyas, kamatis, bawang at luya
Sa paligid-ligid ay puno ng linga
Bahay-kubo kahit munti
Ay matibay at tunay nating yaman
Bahay-kubo, kahit munti
Matatawag nating tahanan
Haa-ah, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Ohh
Bahay-kubo, kahit munti
Ang halaman doon ay sari-sari
Pag-ibig at galak
Kagandahan ng loob
At pagpapahinuhog
Kapayapaan, pang-unawang matapat
At tsaka mayro’n pang
Kabutihang yakap
Kahinahunan
Matimpi sa t’wina
Sa paligid-ligid may pagkakaisa
Haa-ah, ta-la-la-la, ta-la-la-la-la
Bahay-kubo, kahit munti
Ay matibay at tunay nating yaman
Bahay-kubo, kahit munti
Matatawag nating tahanan
Haa-ah, la-la-la, la-la-la
Haa-ah, ooh-ooh
Bahay, bahay-kubo
