Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Eduardo E Mônica by Legião Urbana from Portuguese to English.

Intro

Who one day will say

That there's no reason

Intro

In things done by the heart?

And who will say

That there's no reason?

Verse 1

Eduardo opened his eyes

But didn't want to get up

Verse 1

He stayed lying there and saw what time it was

While Mônica had a cognac

In another part of the city

Just like they said

Verse 1

Eduardo and Mônica

One day ran into each other by chance

And they talked a lot

To try to get to know each other

A buddy from Eduardo's cram course

Who said

'There's a cool party

And we wanna have fun'

Weird party

With strange people

'I'm not feeling okay

Can't take any more booze'

And Mônica laughed

And wanted to know a bit more

About the boy who was trying to impress

And Eduardo, kind of dizzy

Was only thinking of going home

'It's almost two, I'm gonna get screwed'

Eduardo and Mônica

They exchanged phone numbers

Then they called

And decided to meet

Eduardo suggested a diner

But Mônica wanted to watch the Godard movie

So they met

In the city park

Mônica on a motorcycle

And Eduardo on a bike

Eduardo thought it was weird

And better not to comment

But the girl had dye in her hair

Eduardo and Mônica

They were nothing alike

She was a Leo and he was sixteen

She was in med school and spoke German

And he was still in little English classes

She liked Bandeira and Bauhaus

Van Gogh and Os Mutantes

Caetano and Rimbaud

And Eduardo liked soap operas

And played button soccer with his grandpa

She talked about the Central Plateau

Also magic and meditation

And Eduardo was still on that routine

School, movies, club, TV

And even with everything different

It really came, suddenly

A desire to see each other

And they met every day

And the urge kept growing

As it had to be

Eduardo and Mônica

They did swimming, photography

Theater, crafts, and went traveling

Mônica 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

And she graduated in 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

Right around when the twins came

They hustled for money

They handled it just fine

The heaviest burden they ever had

Eduardo and Mônica

They went back to Brasília

And our friendship is missed in summer

It's just that this vacation

They won't travel

Because Eduardo's little son

Is making up exams

And who one day will say

That there's reason

In things done by the heart?

And who will say

That there's no reason?

SONG MEANING

Eduardo e Mônica is a witty, cinematic tale of opposites attracting told by the Brazilian rock band Legião Urbana. Eduardo is a 16-year-old student who still watches soap operas and plays tabletop soccer with his grandfather; Mônica is an adventurous med-school hipster who rides a motorbike, speaks German, and loves art films. They meet at a “weird party with weird people,” swap phone numbers, and plunge into a whirl of first dates that include Godard movies, park picnics, swimming classes, and late-night philosophical chats. As Mônica opens Eduardo’s eyes to poetry, meditation, and music, he brings her the warmth of everyday joys, and together they discover that curiosity is the best matchmaker.

Behind the playful lyrics lies a universal message: love rarely respects logic. Friends think the two complete each other “like beans and rice,” and life proves them right as the couple faces exams, new jobs, twin babies, and money troubles—yet keeps choosing each other. The refrain asks who can say there is, or is not, any reason in matters of the heart, gently reminding us that the most memorable relationships are those that blossom precisely where nobody expected them to. Eduardo and Mônica show that real connection is built not on sameness, but on the fun, patient act of growing side by side.
