Eduardo e Mônica [English translation]

Who will ever say

That there is reason

In matters of the heart?

And who will ever say

That there is no reason?

Eduardo opened his eyes, but didn't want to get up

He stayed in bed and saw what time it was

While Mônica had some brandy

At the other side of town, like they said...

Eduardo and Mônica one day met by chance

And talked a lot to get to know each other…

A dude from Eduardo's class that said:

"There's cool party, and we wanna have fun"

Weird party, weird people

"I don’t feel alright, I've had enough grog"

And Mônica laughed and wanted to know a little more

About the boy who was trying to impress

And Eduardo, kinda dizzy, only thought of going home

"It's almost two, I'm gonna get into trouble..."

Eduardo and Mônica exchanged phone numbers

Later they called each other and decided to meet up

Eduardo suggested a snack bar

But Mônica wanted to see a Godard film

So they met in the town’s park

Mônica by motorcycle and Eduardo by bike

Eduardo found it weird, and better not mention

But the girl had dye in her hair

Eduardo and Mônica were nothing alike

She was a Leo and he was sixteen

She studied Medicine and spoke German

And he was still learning English

She liked Bandeira and Bauhaus

Van Gogh, Os Mutantes, Caetano and Rimbaud

And Eduardo liked soap-operas

And played button football with his grandfather

She spoke things about the Planalto Central

Also magic and meditation

And Eduardo was still stuck in a routine

"School, movies, pool club, TV"

And despite all this difference, suddenly came

An urge to see each other

And the two would meet everyday

And the desire grew, as it's supposed to be…

Eduardo and Mônica did swimming, photography

Acting, handcrafting and went traveling

Mônica explained to Eduardo

Things about the sky, the earth, the water and the air...

He learned how to drink, let his hair grow

And decided to work

And she graduated on the same month

That he passed his entrance exam

And the two celebrated together

And also argued together, many times later

And everybody says he completes her

And vice-versa, like beans and rice

They built a house about two years ago

Around the time when the twins arrived

They fought hard to make money, and managed alright

The toughest time they went through

Eduardo and Mônica came back to Brasilia

And every summer I miss our friendship

But this holiday they won’t be traveling

Because Eduardo's little boy has to do summer school

Ah-ah-ah

And who will ever say that

There is reason

In matters of the heart

And who will ever say

That there is no reason?
