Eduardo e Monica

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

Eduardo opened his eyes, but he didn't want to get up
He lay down and saw what time it was
While Monica was drinking a cognac
On the other side of town, as they said

Eduardo and Monica met one day by accident
And they talked a lot to try to get to know each other
A guy from Eduardo's course who said
There's a cool party, and we want to have fun

Strange party, with strange people
I'm not well, I can't handle any more booze
And Monica laughed, and wanted to know a little more
About the boy who tried to impress
And Eduardo, a little dizzy, only thought about going home
It's almost two, I'm going to get screwed

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

They then met in the city park
Monica on a motorcycle and Eduardo on a camel
Eduardo thought it was strange and it was 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 studied medicine and spoke German
And he's still in English classes

She liked Bandeira and Bauhaus
Van Gogh and the Mutants, by Caetano and Rimbaud
And Eduardo liked soap operas
And he played table football with his grandfather

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

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

Eduardo and Monica did swimming, photography
Theater, crafts, and they 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 they also fought together many times afterwards
And everyone says he completes her
And vice versa, like beans and rice

They rented an apartment about two years ago
About when the twins came
They fought for money, they held on tight
The heaviest bar they had

Eduardo and Monica then decided to get married
A wedding on the ocean
Or in a place near the sea
The sea is very far away, one of them remembered
It will be right here and that's how it was

They went to Bahia and today Eduardo
It ended up at the Central Bank
Crystalline, Sampaio, Rio de Janeiro
And Monica teaches at the Normal School

Eduardo and Monica are in Lago Norte
He designed the house and helped with the construction
But they won't be traveling on these holidays
Because Eduardo's little son
It's recovering

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