    Tradução BR:
    (Oito homens, quatro mulheres
    Senhor, que é o júri do amor)
    Eu sonhei que o amor era um crime
    Eu estava sozinho, tão solitário e azul
    Você sabe por quê? Porque oito homens e quatro mulheres, Senhor
    Eles me acharam culpado de te amar (amar você)
    Como eles estavam me levando para longe
    Você estava tomando, eu te vi quando você estava tomando a testemunha.
    Você sabe o quê? Eu ouvi o advogado, quando ele perguntou para você, meu amor
    "Você realmente amou esse homem?"
    Foi oito homens e quatro mulheres (culpado)
    Como poderiam ser tão cego (culpado)
    Como eles puderam? Eu sabia que eles sentado lá
    E chamado de amor verdadeiro crime (isto é o que me matou)
    Mas uma lágrima rolou pelo meu rosto
    Eu me senti tão triste para você
    Você sabe por quê? Porque no meu coração eu sabia, oh sim, baby, eu sabia
    Que eles iriam encontrá-lo culpado também
    O juiz, a sua honra e ao júri
    eu pretendo provar além de uma sombra de dúvida, que somos inocentes
    E o amor verdadeiro não é um crime />
    Senhor, que é o júri do amor
    a média juiz e um júri média, oh, isso é o júri do amor
    (Senhor, que é o júri do amor)
    (Senhor, que é o júri do amor) (se desvaneça)

    Lyrics:
    Eight men, four women
    Lord, that's the jury of love
    I dreamed that love was a crime
    I was alone, so lonely and blue
    You know why?
    Because eight men and four women
    Lord, they found me guilty of loving you
    (Loving you)
    As they were taking me away you were taking
    I saw you when you were taking the witness stand
    You know what? I heard the lawyer when he asked you
    "My love, do you really love that man?"
    It was eight men and four women
    (Guilty)
    How could they be so blind?
    (Guilty)
    How could they?
    I know they sat there and called true love a crime
    This is what killed me
    But a tear rolled down my cheek
    I felt so sorry for you
    You know why?
    Because in my heart I knew, oh yes, baby I knew
    That they would find you guilty too
    Judge, your honor and to the jury
    I intend to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt
    That we are innocent and true love is not a crime
    Lord, that's the jury of love (Lord, that's the jury of love)
    A mean judge, a mean jury
    Oh, that's the jury of love
    (Lord, that's the jury of love)
    Oh, that's just the way it goes, baby
    They found me guilty of love...
