Areia Lyrics in English Sandy , Lucas Lima

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Areia by Sandy from Portuguese to English.
Verse 1
Wanna stop time
It's only natural
I still don't know you by heart
There's so much I haven't learned
Wanna stop time?
So I can see from here
Your world coming to stir my river
I can even watch you without moving
Everything in its time
So fast inside
In me it runs slow
To hit me
Like sand, hey
Like sand, hey
In me
In me
Like sand, hey
Like sand, hey
In me
Verse 2
I have fragments
Of a life with you
And so many gaps on my own
From afar, yet wanting to believe
Everything in its time
So fast inside
In me it runs slow
To hit me
Like sand, hey
Like sand, hey
In me
In me
Like sand, hey
Like sand, hey
In me
Cut this distance
Grab this wind and come
Hug me
We can bring it all together
Wait for the right time and come
Don't let it slip by
And so
While it lasts, while you want
And so
Like sand, hey
Like sand, hey
In me
In me
Like sand, hey
Like sand, hey
In me
In me
Like sand, hey
Like sand, hey

SONG MEANING

“Areia” invites us to imagine time as grains of sand drifting between two lovers. Sandy and Lucas Lima sing about that thrilling moment when you wish you could pause the clock, study every curve of the other person’s world and let it gently stir your own. Outside, life races forward, yet inside the heart everything slows, settling grain by grain until feelings take shape. The singers hold only “fragments” of a shared life, so they dream of closing the distance: catching the right wind, fitting every scattered piece together, and finally embracing before the opportunity slips away.

At its core, the song mixes urgency with patience. Love moves “tão veloz por dentro” (so fast on the inside), but it also needs the calm, persistent touch of sand modeling new landscapes. Each chorus (“Feito areia… em mim”) celebrates that quiet sculpting process—tiny moments that accumulate into something lasting. “Areia” is a gentle reminder to seize the present, believe in the power of timing, and let love reshape you one soft grain at a time.
