小時候 在石澳

When I was little, at Shek O

火伯嚷著

Gardener Fuoco says to Dolly

明天一時

木瓜樹下

等待主人

汪汪汪汪

竟然守時

Dolly is punctual

Dolly knows all kinds of dialects 

Including dialects of Fuoco, of children, of Shek O

洞悉方言

火伯方言

孩童方言

石澳方言

汪汪汪汪

好景不常

Good times do not last forever

Dolly 被拉去坐牢

Dolly was sent to prison

哈!汪汪汪汪

媽媽説 那一天

My mother says what happened was…

電燈師傅

The electrician 

誤闖後園

Came in from the side door

忠心Dolly

Dolly, being loyal

保護主人 咬了

Dolly decided to protect her master

然後

到了天堂

Then she departed for heaven

天主堂變了 Dolly 聖殿

A chapel was built where Dolly was buried

天天望着彌撒

Now Dolly attends the Mass daily 

天天等候着火伯

And waits for Gardener Fuoco to return

天天望着彌撒

Now Dolly attends the Mass daily

天天等候着火伯

And waits for Gardener Fuoco to return
