Eduardo e Mônica

Who will one day say
That there is reason
In the things done by the heart?
And who will say
That there is no reason?

Eduardo opened his eyes, but didn't want to get up
He laid there and saw what time it was
While Monica was drinking a brandy
In the other corner of the city, as they said

Eduardo and Mônica one day accidentally met
And talked a lot to try to get to know each other
A guy from Eduardo's class who said
There's a nice party, and we want to have fun

Strange party, with weird people
I'm not alright, I can't take any more booze
And Monica laughed, and wanted to know a little more
About the little boy who was trying to impress
And Eduardo, a little dizzy, just thought of going home
It's almost two, I'm screwed

Eduardo and Mônica exchanged phone
Then they called and decided to meet
Eduardo suggested a snack bar
But Monica wanted to see the Godard film

They met, then, in the city park
Monica on a motorcycle and Eduardo on a camel
Eduardo thought it was strange and better not to comment
But the girl had dye in her hair

Eduardo and Monica were nothing alike
She was a Leo and he was sixteen
She did medicine and spoke German
And he still in the English classes

She liked Bandeira and Bauhaus
Van Gogh and Mutantes, Caetano and Rimbaud
And Eduardo liked a soap opera
And he played button football with his grandfather

She said things about the Central Plateau
Also magic and meditation
And Eduardo was still in the scheme
School, cinema, club, television

And even with everything different, it came, suddenly
A desire to see each other
And the two met every day
And the will grew, as it had to be

Eduardo and Mônica did swimming, photography
Theater, crafts, and went traveling
Monica explained to Eduardo
Things about the sky, the earth, the water, and the air

He learned to drink, let his hair grow
And decided to work (no!)
And she graduated the same month
That he passed the entrance exam

And the two celebrated together
And also fought together many times afterward
And everyone says he completes her
And vice versa, like beans and rice

They built a house about two years ago
About when the twins came
They fought money, held it cool
The heaviest bar they had

Eduardo and Monica returned to Brasilia
And our friendship misses in the summer
Only on this vacation, they will not travel
Because Eduardo's son has supplementary classes

And who will one day say
That there is reason
In the things done by the heart?
And who will say
That there is no reason?
