Left a good job in the city 留下了很好的工作在城市

Working for the man both night and day 工作的人都晚一天

But I never lost a minute of sleep 但我从来没有失去的睡眠一分钟

Worrying 'bout the way things might have been 担心回合事情的方式可能是

   

Big wheel, keep on turning 大轮，继续转动

Proud Mary, keep on burning 骄傲的玛丽，继续燃烧

Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river 滚，滚，滚河

   

Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis 在孟菲斯清理了很多板

I said I pumped a lot of tan in New Orleans 我说我在新奥尔良抽了很多棕褐色的

But I never saw the good side of a city 但我从来没有见过一个城市的好的一面

Till I hitched a ride on a riverboat queen 直到我搭便车上河船女王

   

I said you know that I'm rolling, rolling 我说你知道我轧，连轧

You know that I'm rolling' on the river 你知道我在河滚滚“

   

Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river 滚，滚，滚河

If you come down to the city 如果你下到城

Bet you gonna find some people who live 敢打赌，你会发现一些人谁住

You don't have to live if you ain't got no money 您不必住，如果你是不会得到任何金钱

People on the river that know how to give 河上的人们懂得放弃

   

You know I said that I'm rolling, rolling 你知道我说我滚，滚

I'm rolling on the river 我滚河

I gotta keep on turning, burning, rolling down the river... 我得继续转动，燃烧，滚滚而下的河流......
