一直以来我都很喜欢MJ叙事型的歌曲，最新泄露的午夜12点（你知道你的孩子在哪吗？），不管是从歌词，还是演绎风格，都是完完全全的MJ式风格。从歌词，你可以看到未成年卖淫、性虐待、家庭教育等严肃的社会问题，整个歌词充满着阴暗色调，但节奏超棒，也是整个社会都要面对的问题，很现实，就像dirty diana一样。个人感觉现在的乐坛很应该有这种的歌曲来冲击人人麻木的大脑！如果发单曲，应该又是一个热门金曲！希望通过这个歌词翻译可以和不懂英语的同学分享一下。

以下的歌词我是根据国外网友还有自己的听力译出来的大意，虽然还有些不太肯定，但大意应该不会错了。

[verse 1]
Father comes home from work and he’s scared today
父亲今天下班回家担惊受怕
Mother cries for the kid in a note she read
母亲呼唤着孩子，她正看着纸条
Father runs to the table, he said “What’s going on?”
父亲奔向饭桌：“发生什么事了？”
Mother cries in disbelief “Our little baby is gone!”
母亲满腹疑惑地尖叫着：“我们的小宝贝不见了！”

Do you know where your children are,
你知道你们的孩子在哪吗？
Because it's now 12 o'clock.
因为现在已经午夜12点了
If they're somewhere out on the street,
如果他们现在还流落在街头
Just imagine how scared they are.
想象一下他们有多害怕

Do you know where your children are,
你知道你们的孩子在哪吗？
Because it's now 12 o'clock.
因为现在已经午夜12点了
If they're somewhere out on the street,
如果他们现在还流落在街头
Just imagine how scared they are.

[verse 2]

She wrote that she is tired of step-daddy using her
她写道：“她厌倦继父一直在利用她”
Saying that he'll buy her things, while sexually abusing her
他一边说他会给她买东西，一边却在对她性虐待
Just think that she's alone somewhere out on the street
想象一下她现在一个人流浪在街头某个角落
How will this girl survive? She ain't got nothing to eat!
这个女孩要怎么活下去？她甚至没东西吃！

Do you know where your children are,
你知道你们的孩子在哪吗？
Because it's now 12 o'clock.
因为现在已经午夜12点了
If they're somewhere out on the street,
如果他们现在还流落在街头
Just imagine how scared they are.

Do you know where your children are,

Because it's now 12 o'clock.
因为现在已经午夜12点了
If they're somewhere out on the street,
如果他们现在还流落在街头
Just imagine how scared they are.
想象一下他们有多害怕

(Bridge)

Save me, From this living hell
救救我  从这个人间地狱！
Save me, Coz i don't wanna do
救救我因为我不想干这个！
Save me, I'm tired of dad

Now she’s on the move, she’s off to Hollywood

“I’ll show you what the money is, girl, just let down your hair”
