"Eduardo e Mônica" (Eduardo and Monica) is a song from Brazilian rock band Legião Urbana's 1986 album Dois, released as 🌧️ promo single. It tells a romantic story centered on a couple formed by the 16-year-old Eduardo and the older college 🌧️ student Mônica, who are very different from each other.[1]
Writing and theme [ edit ]
The song had already been recorded in 🌧️ 1982, when Russo performed alone with his acoustic guitar under the moniker "O Trovador Solitário" (The Solitary Troubadour), on a 🌧️ cassette tape that would be later recovered and released along with other songs on his posthumous solo album O Trovador 🌧️ Solitário.
This version has a different ending than the one from the album. In the latter, it is stated that in 🌧️ a certain vacation period, the family could not travel because the son was retaking a class in school.[a][3] In the 🌧️ original version, the couple's son is still yet to be born and that they didn't get married in a church, 🌧️ but at Eduardo's ranch. Some verses were already scratched by then: "With an Indian flutist who marked the time signature/ 🌧️ All all friends..." They built a house somewhere close to the sea and went to Bahia, Ouro Preto and Rio 🌧️ de Janeiro. Eduardo got a job at Banco Central and Mônica is a professor.[3]
A 2024 article by science magazine Superinteressante 🌧️ suggested that the couple was unlikely to have a long-lasting relationship, based on what the verses say about them and 🌧️ analyzing such info against diverse scientific researches on reasons why couples break up.[1]
