[edit]EL "PADRE NUESTRO" NA CHABACANO DE ZAMBOANGA
Tata diamon talli na cielo, bendito el di Uste nombre.
Ace el di Uste voluntad aqui na tierra, igual como alli na cielo.
Dale kanamon el pan para cada dia. Perdona el diamon maga culpa,
como ta perdona kame con aquellos tiene culpa kanamon.
No deja que ay cae kame na tentacion Y libra kanamon del mal.
