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.
Príncipe Dos Mares
Sandy e Junior Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Na esperança de te ver
Correndo na areia
Dessa praia
Ouço a música no mar
Gaivotas par em par
Mas você nem olha
Você malha
Imagino
A gente de mãos dadas
E você susurrando em meu ouvido
Vem pra mim, só pra mim
Vem pra mim, só pra mim
(Vem, sim)
No horizonte os barcos vão
Vai também o coração
Levando o segredo e o meu desejo
Eu procuro teu olhar
Eu queria te beijar
Mas a timidez guardou meu beijo
E quanta, e quanta água
Toda noite
Eu vejo no meu quarto
Você vir me chamando, docemente
Ninguém sabe
Que o príncipe dos mares me levou
Nos seus sonhos de aquamores
E fugimos
Atlânticos amores de um verão
E nos cantam as sereias
The song "Principe dos Mares" by Sandy e Junior portrays a narrator who goes to the beach every evening in the hope of seeing their love interest, who was completely engrossed in their workout routine. Meanwhile, the singer creates vivid imagery of the surroundings, including the music of the sea and the seagulls hovering in the sky. The singer imagines holding hands and having whispered conversations with their love interest, passionately pleading for them to come to them, just for them. But, the boats on the horizon continuously carry parts of the singer's heart away. They search for the love interest's glance and long for a kiss, however, their own shyness prevents them from doing so. In the evening, the singer sees their love interest even in their dreams, and the prince of the sea takes them away for a while. They are lost in their love, and the mermaids sing for them.
The song is a representation of a young person's first infatuation and their overpowering emotions of longing and desire. It depicts the helplessness of feeling shy and lovesick, and the frustration of being unable to express their feelings to their beloved. The song's innocence and beauty are conveyed through its melodies, which are calm and soothing, contrasting with the singer's emotional turmoil.

Saio em cada entardecer
Every evening, I leave my home in the hope of seeing you
Na esperança de te ver
I hope to catch a glimpse of you
Correndo na areia
Running on the sand
Dessa praia
On this beach
Ouço a música no mar
I hear music in the sea
Gaivotas par em par
Seagulls flying in pairs
Mas você nem olha
But you don't even look
Você malha
You're exercising
E quanta, e quanta água
So much, so much water around us
Imagino
I imagine
A gente de mãos dadas
Us holding hands
E você susurrando em meu ouvido
And you whispering in my ear
Vem pra mim, só pra mim
Come to me, just for me
No horizonte os barcos vão
Boats are going toward the horizon
Vai também o coração
My heart goes with them
Levando o segredo e o meu desejo
Carrying my secret and my desire away
Eu procuro teu olhar
I search for your gaze
Eu queria te beijar
I wish to kiss you
Mas a timidez guardou meu beijo
But shyness held me back
Toda noite
Every night
Eu vejo no meu quarto
I see in my bedroom
Você vir me chamando, docemente
You calling me softly
Ninguém sabe
No one knows
Que o príncipe dos mares me levou
That the prince of the seas took me
Nos seus sonhos de aquamores
In his dreams of aqua love
E fugimos
And we flee
Atlânticos amores de um verão
Atlantic summer loves
E nos cantam as sereias
And the sirens sing to us

Sou encantada por músicas que citam o mar ou seres místicos dos oceanos! Sou apaixonada por essa música desde adolescente.

Pode-se notar a beleza desse arranjo logo de cara com notas de baixos ricamente bem executadas, além das guitarras, baterias, violinos, tudo muito bem arranjado e nem vou mencionar a voz da Sandy que é perfeita. Em 2019 este disco completa 20 anos e eles poderiam fazer uma mini-tour e um álbum de comemorações, porque é (quase) consenso que este é o melhor disco deles. ; )

eu acho o de 2001 o melhor
ADRIANA FIGUEIREDO

@Cibele Carvalho Verdade, é inesquecível mesmo, mas eu gosto mais do "Vocês é D+".
Helena
@Thy Santos Eu não acho. Pra mim o melhor disco de todos é o "Você é D+".

Imagina esse arranjo de cordas executado pela família Lima e a Sandy cantando com o Júnior?
