Source text - English Who cast that first fateful tomato that started the La Tomatina revolution? The reality is no one knows. Maybe it was an anti-Franco rebellion, or a carnival that got out of hand. According to the most popular version of the story, during the 1945 festival of Los Gigantes (a giant paper mâché puppet parade), locals were looking to stage a brawl to get some attention. They happened upon a vegetable cart nearby and started hurling ripe tomatoes. Innocent onlookers got involved until the scene escalated into a massive melee of flying fruit. The instigators had to repay the tomato vendors, but that didn't stop the recurrence of more tomato fights—and the birth of a new tradition.
Translation - Tagalog Sino ang pumukol ng unang mapalad na kamatis na nagsimula ng rebolusyong La Tomatina? Ang katotohanan ay walang nakakaalam. Maaaring ito ay isang paghihimagsik laban kay Franco, o isang karnibal na nawalan ng gabay. Ayon sa mga pinakasikat na bersiyon ng kuwento, noong taong 1945 sa kapistahan ng Los Gigantes (isang parada ng mga higanteng papet na gawa sa pinagdikit-dikit na papel), ang mga mamamayan ay naghahanap ng paraan para makapagpakita ng basag-ulo at makakuha ng pansin. Nakakita sila ng isang kariton ng mga gulay malapit sa kanilang kinaroroonan at sinimulan ang paghahagis ng mga hinog na kamatis. Ang mga walang malay na nagmamasid ay napasali hanggang ang eksena ay lumaganap sa isang malaking labu-labo ng lumilipad na mga prutas. Ang mga nagpasimuno ay kinailangang magbayad sa mga manininda ng kamatis, subalit iyon ay hindi nagging dahilan para itigil ang muli pang pagkakaroon ng marami pang pag-aaway gamit ang kamatis – ito ang naging simula ng isang bagong tradisyon.

Source text - English All in a moment, years ago,
The boy I was became a man:
Suddenly my life began!
I saw the world before me— So
That ploughman by his horses stands
Sweating on the first hill's brow,
Having left the riverlands
Furrowed in the vale below,
And sees a mountainside to plough,
Barren rock to blunt his share,
Thunder hanging in the air,
And the black peak above him, bare,
Waiting now.
—Let him plough it if he dare!
Translation - Tagalog Lahat sa isang iglap, maraming taong nakalipas,
Akong dating musmos pa ngayo’y ganap na ang pagkatao:
Walang anu-ano, nagsimula ang buhay ko!
Nakita ko ang mundong nasa harap ko— Kaya
Yaong magsasakang sa tulong ng kanyang kabayo
Masigasig na nagsikap,
Matapos iwanan ang tabing ilog
Nagbungkal sa ibabang lambak,
At nakikita ang kabundukang aararuhin,
Tigang na batong pupurol sa kanyang pang-araro,
Nagbabadyang kulog sa himpapawid,
At ang maitim na taluktok sa ibabaw niya, nakatiwangwang,
Ngayo’y naghihintay.
—Hayaan mong araruhin niya iyon kung siya ay mangangahas!
