"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]
