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.
Sem Teu Amor
Sandy e Junior Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Agora passa das onze
E eu não sei onde você está
Que não veio me ver
Nem sequer pôde me ligar
Já é madrugada
Também não vou fazer nada
Se você quiser venha me procurar
Você tirou minha calma
Você me fez enlouquecer
Você levou minha alma para um mundo
Onde eu não posso sobreviver
Sem teu amor, baby
Eu não posso sobreviver
Sem o teu amor, baby
A casa vai cair pra mim
The lyrics to Sandy e Junior's song Sem Teu Amor tell a story of heartbreak and longing. The singer is waiting for their love interest who has not shown up or bothered to call, and it's already past 11 pm. As the night goes on, the singer becomes more and more frustrated as they wait, eventually resigning themselves to the fact that they can't do anything about it. The lyrics reveal the singer's pain and desperation as they try to cope without the love of their life.
The second verse is impactful, where the singer says that the love interest took away their peace and made them go insane. They have taken their soul to a place where they can't survive without them. This could imply that the singer's emotional dependence on their love interest is so strong that they feel incomplete without them. The chorus repeats the same phrase 'Without your love, baby, I can't survive' to emphasize that the situation is dire and there is no hope for the singer without their love interest.
Overall, the lyrics are melancholic and emotional, conveying the pain of heartbreak vividly. The song is a ballad, and Sandy e Junior's voices complement each other, perfectly blending emotion and the melody of the song.

Agora passa das onze
It is now past eleven o'clock
E eu não sei onde você está
And I don't know where you are
Que não veio me ver
You didn't come to see me
Nem sequer pôde me ligar
You couldn't even call me
Já é madrugada
It's already dawn
Eu não vou mais te esperar
I won't wait for you anymore
Também não vou fazer nada
I won't do anything either
Se você quiser venha me procurar
If you want, come find me
Você tirou minha calma
You took away my peace
Você me fez enlouquecer
You drove me crazy
Você levou minha alma para um mundo
You took my soul to a world
Onde eu não posso sobreviver
Where I can't survive
Sem teu amor, baby
Without your love, baby
Eu não posso sobreviver
I can't survive
Sem o teu amor, baby
Without your love, baby
A casa vai cair pra mim
Everything will fall apart for me
