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.
Adiós Santa Lucia

Wuivende palmen het witte strand
'S avonds op de boulevard
Ieder moment denk ik hier aan terug
Heel ver weg van haar
Ik nam haar mee als mijn souvenier
Gaf het een plaats in mijn hart
Santa Lucia jouw zomernacht
Die heeft ons twee bij elkaar gebracht
En jou vollemaan
Die keek mij lachend aan
Arrivederci en au revoir
De zomer maakte mijn dromen waar
Want de zon die smolt ons tweeën tot een paar
Ik schrijf jou nu net als eens mijn trouw
Dat ik jou elke dag mis
Maar ik kom zeker bij jouw terug als het zover is
Jij hebt gezegd dat je op me wacht
Zonder te denken aan tijd
Wees maar niet bang dit gevoel raak ik nooit meer kwijt
Santa Lucia jouw zomernacht
Die heeft ons twee bij elkaar gebracht
En jou volle maan
Die keek mij lachend aan
Arrivederci en au revoir
De zomer maakte mijn dromen waar
Want de zon die smolt ons tweeën tot een paar
Ik denk met liefde steeds weer aan die zomertijd
Jij trok me uit die éénzaamheid
Santa Lucia jouw zomernacht
Die heeft ons twee bij elkaar gebracht
En jouw volle maan
Die keek mij lachend aan
Arrivederci en au revoir
De zomer maakte mijn dromen waar
Want de zon die smolt ons tweeën tot een paar
Want de zon die smolt ons tweeën tot een paar
Santa Lucia mijn zomernacht
In the song "Adiós Santa Lucia" by Frans Bauer, the lyrics evoke a deep sense of nostalgia and romantic longing tied to a particular place and time. The recurrent mention of "Santa Lucia" symbolizes not only the beautiful summer nights but also the memories crafted during that ephemeral period. The singer reflects on how this idyllic location brought two people together, illustrating the magic of love that can blossom under the warmth of a summer sky. The imagery of swaying palms and white beaches paints the scene as a paradise, highlighting the enchanting atmosphere that serves as a backdrop for their love story. The physical setting is not just a geographical location; it becomes intertwined with the emotional fabric of the singer's memories.
The emotional weight of the lyrics lies in the interplay between reminiscence and longing. The singer recalls moments spent on the boulevard, captured in a sense of nostalgia as thoughts of a loved one linger in their mind even when they are far away. This distance adds a poignant layer to the narrative, as it emphasizes the yearning felt by the singer. The notion of carrying a souvenir of the experience in their heart signifies that the love shared is profoundly impactful, transcending physical separation. The phrase "dat gevoel wat ik heb maakt jou zo apart" underscores the uniqueness of their connection, hinting at the special bond that rose above the uniqueness of a fleeting vacation moment.
As the song progresses, the singer expresses a commitment to this love, framing it within the context of a promise to return. The desire to write "een trouw" suggests not only a declaration of love but also a pledge to sustain that emotional connection despite the geographical distance. The reassurance that "jij hebt gezegd dat je op me wacht" beautifully encapsulates the mutual feelings shared by the two individuals, promising loyalty through time and distance. Within this promise lies a sense of hope and unwavering belief that their feelings will endure, enabling them to hold onto the enchanting memories created during their time in Santa Lucia.
Ultimately, "Adiós Santa Lucia" is not just a farewell to a geographical place; it is a heartfelt tribute to a chapter in the singer's life filled with love, joy, and memories. The repeated references to the elements of nature—a full moon, the sun, and the summer—serve as metaphors for the relationship's beauty and intensity. The act of recalling those summer nights transforms into a refuge from loneliness, where the love that blossomed shatters the isolation experienced by the singer before that connection was established. Thus, the song culminates in a powerful reminder of how fleeting moments can shape our lives, intertwining love with memories in a timeless embrace, promising that the feelings born in those summer nights will never truly fade away.
