"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]
