Already in his youth, Frans Bauer wanted to become a singer after he was inspired by Julio Iglesias, Elvis Presley and Koos Alberts (a Dutch singer). Bauer's own singing career started in 1987 when he recorded his first single, "Ben Je Jong" (Are You Young), under supervision of Dutch producers Rudi Schreijenberg and Emile Hartkamp.
In January 1992 he met his later wife-to-be, Mariska van Rossenberg. He was a local celebrity before rising to national fame due to the national television show "All You Need Is love" in early 1992, where he was to choose two female fans for a date. In 1994 he had his first national hit with "Als Sterren Aan De Hemel Staan". In 1997 he conquered Germany with his album "Weil Ich Dich Liebe".
Frans Bauer's fame kept growing to the point where he had his own reality show called "De Bauers", in which his daily life, including his family life, was followed. Bauer has also designed clothing for the Vroom & Dreesmann retail chain, based in The Netherlands.
He has won several awards and honours in The Netherlands, including a knighthood ("Ridder in de Orde van Oranje-Nassau") due to his charitable work and the "Gouden Televizier-Ring" for the reality show that has been running on Dutch television the year previously.
In 2006 he was struck by an infection on his vocal cords. He recovered after surgery.
1000 tranen om jou

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
maar ik kan jou niet vinden
langs je vrienden gegaan
maar je spoor ben ik kwijt
jij bent hier weggegaan
want je wou je niet binden
ik heb alles gedaan
maar toch ben ik je kwijt
Het had zo mooi kunnen zijn
wij 2 samen
het had zo mooi kunnen zijn
dat beetje geluk
heel dicht bij jou te zijn
voor heel veel jaren
het had zo mooi kunnen zijn
maar dat is nu stuk
1000 tranen om jou
die eenzame uren
kom waar ben je nou
jij hoort hier te zijn
1000 dromen van jou
hoe lang zal dit duren
maar ik heb berouw
en heel veel spijt
al die woorden van jou
zal ik nooit vergeten
al die dromen van jou
neem ik met me mee
wat moet ik zonder jou
toe laat het met weten
of je nog van me houdzeg alsjeblieft geen nee
1000 tranen om jou
die eenzame uren
kom waar ben je nou
jij hoort hier te zijn
1000 dromen van jou
hoe lang zal dit duren
maar ik heb berouw
en heel veel spijt
The song "1000 Tranen Om Jou" by Dutch artist Frans Bauer talks about a failed relationship, where the singer has done everything he could to find his lost love, but to no avail. He has visited her friends, but he has lost her trail. She left because she did not want to commit, and despite his efforts, he still cannot find her. They had the potential for a beautiful relationship, they were so close to each other for many years, but it is all over now. The chorus of the song talks about his regret and sorrow for the lost love, with a thousand tears and dreams for her, and wondering where she is now and whether she still loves him.
The lyrics of this song are emotional and relatable, and they speak about the universal desire to find love and the pain of losing it. The song's melody and Frans Bauer's voice add to the emotional impact of the words. The lyrics seem to be written from a personal experience, as Frans Bauer is known for writing about his life and relationships in his songs. The song evokes a sense of nostalgia and heartbreak, where the singer is left longing for someone who is no longer there.

jij bent hier weggegaan
you have left from here
want je wou je niet binden
