By Michelle Anne P. Sayre|

Masimhutan ang kahumot
Sa gilutong sud-an ni Mama
Ginisang lamas, manok, ug gatas
Nagkandaiyang nagpatigbabaw

Nilutong Chicken Piaparan
Gitipuk-an sa pamilya
Dili gayod mapugngan
Nga magtiam-tiam

Paghukad sa kan-on
Kuyog ang sud-an
Dali-dali mudagan sa lamesa
Aron makakuha lang og pwesto

Kompleto ang tanan,
Pangadyi nalang ang kulang
Gisugdan sa amoang kinamanghuran
Ang pagpasalamat sa maong grasya

Nitingog na ang plato’g kutsara
Nagpasabot na nga mangaon na,
Ali na! Mangaon ta!
Tilawan ta ang Chicken Piaparan ni Mama

Ang Chicken Piaparan ni Mama
Una gayod ang sili nga ingredient
Aron matilawan ang kahalang sa sud-an

Dungagan ali na! Hamal napud ta!
Mangaon ta sa Chicken Piaparan ni Mama
