In the early Seventies, the band switched to hard rock and had its first successes, including a brace of Top 40 hits. After original singer Veerman left and drummer Keizer took his place behind the microphone, the band made a musical U-turn and opted for commercial radio pop, adding female co-vocalist Annie Schilder and laying the foundation for their status as the most popular Dutch band ever (in terms of hit singles and albums). BZN has had over 50 hits in the Dutch hit parade to date.
BZN's claim to fame started with the song "Mon Amour" (1976), which held the #1 hit parade ranking for over 5 weeks. Outside of the Netherlands the band has had some success as well, amongst which several hits in South Africa (such as "Yeppa" in 1990) and minor successes with their French-language songs in Canada.
Through the years there have been many lineup changes, the most important of which have been the departure of Schilder in 1984 (replaced by Carola Smit) and in 1988 of the brothers Cees and Thomas Tol (keyboards), who until then had been responsible for most of the music and lyrics. The band remained nevertheless successful, making their last major change in strategy when they decided to write in Dutch instead of English as of 2003.
BZN are also responsible for the initial success of singer Jan Smit (singer), who was discovered by BZN at the age of 10 and went on to have pop and schlager successes in The Netherlands, Germany and Belgium.
On February 15 2006, BZN announced they would do one final tour and then call it quits. This goodbye tour is scheduled to last until June 2007.
Che Sara
BZN Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Moonlit night, candles bright, strumming chitarre
When you lay in my arms, so warm and tender
To resist you, I should have missed you, I had to surrender
Then you - you kissed me goodbye
You left me so lonely, thought I was the only to cry
But each night in dreams my darling
"Che Sarà" "Lo saprai solo tu"
("Che Sarà" "Lo saprai solo tu")
I love you so much "mi amore"
(la la la la la la la)
Will you make my wild dreams come true
(la la la la la la la)
"Che Sarà?" "Lo saprai solo tu"
("Che Sarà?" "Lo saprai solo tu")
I call you my angel, my sweet "Rosa"
(la la la la la la la la)
Please give me the answer, oh, "Che Sarà"
(la la la la la oh, "Che Sarà")
Candelight, lustful night "vino", "cantare"
Took a chance, my first romance in Castellamare
Where you held me so tight, whispering: "Ti amo"
Was a fire with burning desire, when you said: "Andiamo"
Then you - you kissed me goodbye
You left me so lonely, thought I was the only to cry
But each night in dreams my darling
You're so close to me
"Che Sarà" "Lo saprai solo tu"
("Che Sarà" "Lo saprai solo tu")
I love you so much "mi amore"
(la la la la la la la)
Will you make my wild dreams come true
(la la la la la la la)
"Che Sarà?" "Lo saprai solo tu"
("Che Sarà" "Lo saprai solo tu")
To be your angel and sweet "Rosa"
(la la la la la la la la)
Please give me the answer oh "Che Sarà"
(la la la la la oh, "Che Sarà")
"Che Sarà?" "Lo saprai solo tu"
("Che Sarà" "Lo saprai solo tu")
To be your angel and sweet "Rosa"
(la la la la la la la la)
Please give me the answer oh "Che Sarà"
(la la la la la oh, "Che Sarà")
The lyrics of BZN's song "Che Sara" speak of a passionate romance that took place in Castellamare, a small coastal town in southern Italy. The singer reminisces about a moonlit night where the candles were bright, and the sound of a strumming guitar filled the air. In this romantic atmosphere, the singer fell in love with the person in their arms, unable to resist the warmth and tenderness they felt.
However, this passion was ephemeral as the person left, leaving the singer feeling lonely and devastated. Despite the physical absence, the lover remains present in the singer's dreams, staying close and dear to their heart. The chorus asks the question "Che Sarà" which translates to "What will be?" and suggests that the answer can only be known by the person it concerns.
The song is driven by the passionate and dreamy atmosphere that the lyrics evoke. The choice of location, Castellamare, is significant as it represents a traditional symbol of Italian romance. The strong emotions conveyed through the lyrics are accentuated by the upbeat tempo and the use of several Italian words such as "Ti amo" (I love you) and "vino" (wine).

Care oare din melodiile lor nu pot fi apreciate la maxim? Am crescut si m-am distrat cu ei si cu muzica lor minunata. Le multumesc pentru relaxarea pe care ne-a transmis-o. Am avut ocazia sa vad un concert cu ei in anul ""88 in Germania. Credeti-ma pielea se facea ca pielea de gaina! Uita-i de toate greutatile si dorurile din jurul tau.
