They have two albums among the best-selling albums of all-time in Brazil.

Formed in 1990, Sandy & Junior began by singing children's songs and sertanejo-influenced tracks (their first single, "Maria Chiquinha", is a classic sertanejo song). Once they reached adolescence, they changed their style to pop-influenced songs, mainly ballads and upbeat songs. The style-change was around the mid 1990s. Their albums Era Uma Vez... Ao Vivo (1998), As Quatro Estações (1999), Quatro Estações: O Show (2000) and Sandy & Junior (2001) sold more than a million units and were certified multi-platinum or diamond in Brazil.

They had a self-titled weekly television series between 1999 and 2003 on Rede Globo and released the movie Acquaria in 2003; Sandy also starred the soap opera Estrela Guia (Globo) in 2001. Earlier, they had appeared in Renato Aragão movie O Noviço Rebelde, in 1997. Both have experienced solo work: Junior was the drummer of alternative rock band Nove Mil Anjos (which also features former Charlie Brown Jr. member Champignon on bass guitar), and part of an EDM duo called Manimal. Sandy, on the other hand, has a solid solo carreer.

In 2002, they were the first national artists to do a paid concert at Maracanã stadium in Rio.

The duo announced on 17 April 2007 that an MTV Unplugged album to be recorded in May 2007 would be their final work together, through a video posted on their website addressed to their fans and in a press conference, stating also that their career as a duo would be over at the end of 2007.

Their 17 years of career has granted them partnerships with several national and international artists, such as Xuxa, Roberto Carlos, Milton Nascimento, Toquinho, Gilberto Gil, Ivete Sangalo, Andrea Bocelli and Enrique Iglesias, and more than 20 million albums sold around the globe, making them the ninth best selling Brazilian artists of all time.

In March 2019, after a 12-year hiatus, the duo announced a new tour to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their first performance together, Nossa História Tour. Starting in July 2019, the siblings commemorated their successful career with their greatest hits in a tour through the largest cities in Brazil.

Ida Nem Volta
Sandy e Junior Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Procuro teus beijos
Como esperança te encontrar
E o mais difícil, inaceitável
É que é um sonho e nadam mais
E que jamais vou poder...

Te envolver nos braços
Preencher todo o espaço

Dentro desse teu olhar

Refrão
Não tenho ida nem volta
Eu vivo no passado
Não tenho ida nem volta
Vivo um amor calado
Não tenho ida nem volta
Sem voce

Procuro teu corpo
Ele parece me tocar
Mas eu só me engano
Outra vez me encontro
Nesse abismo de sonhar
Owww
Eu não quero enxergar...

Que isso não existe
Voce é a fantasia
Dessa minha solidão

Refrão
Não tenho ida nem volta
Eu vivo no passado
Não tenho ida nem volta
Vivo um amor calado
Não tenho ida nem volta
Sem você

Quero a realidade,
Quero a liberdade,
Viver de novo,
Quero me levantar
E não olhar mais pra trás

Refrão

Não tenho ida nem volta
(eu vivo no passado... hey)
Não tenho ida nem volta
(vivo um amor calado)

Não tenho ida nem volta
(sem você...)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Ida Nem Volta" by Sandy e Junior describe a person who is stuck in the past, unable to move on from a lost love. The person is desperately seeking to find their beloved again, hoping for even just a glimpse of their affection. The pain and longing the person feels is palpable in the line "E o mais difícil, inaceitável / É que é um sonho e nada mais" (And the most difficult, unacceptable / Is that it's just a dream and nothing more). Despite the fact that the person knows deep down that their love is unattainable and only exists in their imagination, they continue to search for that feeling of completeness, hoping to fill the void within them.

The chorus of the song emphasizes the person's inability to move on, highlighting the fact that they are trapped in their own nostalgia. The repetition of "Não tenho ida nem volta" (I have no coming or going) drives home the point that they are firmly stuck in the past and unable to move forward. The verse "Não quero enxergar / Que isso não existe / Voce é a fantasia / Dessa minha solidão" (I don't want to see / That this doesn't exist / You are the fantasy / Of my loneliness) encapsulates the sense of longing and desperation that pervades the entire song.

Overall, "Ida Nem Volta" is a melancholy portrayal of the human tendency to cling to lost loves and unattainable dreams, even when we know that they are no longer possible.

Não tenho ida nem volta
I don't have a way out or a way back

Eu vivo no passado
I live in the past
