Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Grão De Areia by Rubel from Portuguese to English.

Verse 1

To hear you

There's no need to say a word

Your silence, your voice never goes quiet, no

It makes noise here nonstop

So I know

That your skin pierces my soul

And I don't even need you to stay here

I see you even in loneliness

I see you, I feel you, I smell you

Even in a grain of sand

And the world shows your face everywhere

I try to forget your kiss

Even as a joke

But my mouth insists

Your mouth is my place

Verse 2

And you know what?

I think you felt the same thing

Verse 2

That it's impossible that someone so smart

Doesn't see that this is the purest love

Verse 2

And not the silly love

We watch on the soap opera

Verse 2

Love that's a maze we create

And pretend not to know how to leave

I see you, I feel you, I smell you

Even in a grain of sand

And the world shows your face everywhere

I try to forget your kiss

Even as a joke

But my mouth insists

Your mouth is my place

Verse 3

To hear you

There's no need to say a word

Your silence, your voice never goes quiet, no

It makes noise here nonstop

So I know

That your skin pierces my soul

I don't even need you to stay here

I see you even in loneliness

I see you, I feel you, I smell you

Even in a grain of sand

And the world shows your face everywhere

I try to forget your kiss

Even as a joke

But my mouth insists

Your mouth is my place

I see you, I feel you, I smell you

Even in a grain of sand

And the world shows your face everywhere

I try to forget your kiss

Even as a joke

But my mouth insists

Your mouth is my place

SONG MEANING

“Grão De Areia” paints the picture of a love so intense that it echoes in absolute silence. Rubel and Xande De Pilares describe how every sense is hijacked by memories of someone special: the beloved’s voice is heard even when no words are spoken, their presence is felt in solitude, and their scent seems to rise from something as tiny as a grain of sand. The singer tries to forget, even jokingly, but lips “insist” that the only place they belong is on the other person’s mouth. It is a playful confession wrapped in poetic imagery.

Unlike the shallow, soap-opera romances the lyrics tease, this love is a “labyrinth” that both lovers secretly built and pretend they cannot escape. The song celebrates the idea that real affection is everywhere once it lives inside you—you can see it on city streets, hear it in the wind, and feel it under your feet. With its warm samba-soul groove and heartfelt vocals, “Grão De Areia” invites listeners to embrace the overwhelming beauty of a love that is impossible to ignore, no matter how small the reminder.
