Deixei um bom emprego na cidade Left a good job in the city, working for the man every night and day Trabalhando para o homem noite e dia And I never lost a minute of sleeping worrying 'bout the way things might have been E eu nunca perdi um minuto de sono Big wheel keep on turning, Proud Mary keep on burning Preocupando-se com o caminho que as coisas tomaram Rollin', rollin', rollin on the river Rollin', rollin', rollin on the river
Grande roda mantenha-se girando Been a lot of places in Memphis, pumped a lot of pain down in New Orleans Orgulhosa Maria mantenha-se viva But I never saw the good side of the city 'til I hitched a ride on the riverboat queen Rolando, rolando, rolando no rio Big wheel keep on turning, Proud Mary keep on burning Rollin', rollin', rollin on the river Rollin', rollin', rollin on the river
Limpando muitos pratos em Memphis, Rollin', rollin', rollin on the river Sondando muita dor em New Orleans, Rollin', rollin', rollin on the river Mas eu nunca vi o lado bom da cidade, Até eu descer o rio de barco
Rolando, rolando, rolando no rio Rollin', rollin', rollin on the river Se você vier rio abaixo, Rollin', rollin', rollin on the river Aposto que você vai achar gente viva Não se preocupe se você não tem dinheiro, Pessoas do rio têm alegria pra dar
Rolando, rolando, rolando no rio If you come down to the river, bet you're gonna find some people who live Rolando, rolando, rolando no rio You don't have to worry if you don't have no money, people on the river are happy to give Rolando, rolando, rolando no rio Big wheel keep on turning, Proud Mary keep on burning Rollin', rollin', rollin on the river Rollin', rollin', rollin on the river
Big wheel keep on turning, Proud Mary she just keeps on burning Rollin', rollin', rollin on the river Rollin', rollin', rollin on the river Rollin', rollin', rollin on the river
