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.
Bloeien De Rozen Niet Meer
Frans Bauer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Op zoek naar jou
Ook al weet ik dat je weg bent
Een ander jou verwent
Waarom moest dit nou
Bloeien de rozen niet meer
Liefste mijn hart doet zo’n zeer
Was alles dan zomaar voor niets
Bloeien de rozen niet meer
Zeg me waarom was er geen weg meer terug
Ik wil meer dan gewoon vrienden zijn
Het was toch ooit, heel lang, heel fijn
Zoveel stille dagen
Anders toen we samen waren
Het is voorbij
Ik moet het gaan beseffen
Het leven gaat door
’t Is verleden tijd
Bloeien de rozen niet meer
Liefste mijn hart doet zo’n zeer
Zeg me nu toch, waarom ging je weg
Was alles dan zomaar voor niets
Bloeien de rozen niet meer
Zeg me waarom was er geen weg meer terug
Ik wil meer dan gewoon vrienden zijn
Het was toch ooit, heel lang, heel fijn
Bloeien de rozen niet meer
Liefste mijn hart doet zo’n zeer
Zeg me nu toch, waarom ging je weg
Was alles dan zomaar voor niets
Bloeien de rozen niet meer
Zeg me waarom was er geen weg meer terug
Ik wil meer dan gewoon vrienden zijn
Het was toch ooit, heel lang, heel fijn
Het was toch ooit, heel lang, heel fijn
The lyrics of Frans Bauer's Bloeien De Rozen Niet Meer reflect the feeling of loss and heartbreak after someone you loved has left you for another person. The singer of the song is searching for his lover, even though he knows that she is with someone else. With sorrow in his heart, he asks why things had to turn out this way. The roses that once symbolized their love have stopped blooming, and the singer is left wondering why they faded away. He is trying to understand why she left and why there was no way back. He wants more than just friendship, he wants to feel the same love they once shared.
The repetition of the main chorus has a powerful effect on the listener, making the sentiment behind the lyrics even more poignant. Throughout the song, the emotions are raw and honest, reflecting the pain of someone who has lost the love of their life. The lyrics and melody combine to create a sorrowful yet beautiful song of heartbreak that many can relate to.

Stil en verlaten tuur ik door de lege kaarten
I am still and abandoned, looking through empty cards, searching for you even though I know you're gone and someone else has taken your place. Why did this have to happen?

Searching for you
Ook al weet ik dat je weg bent
Even though I know you're gone
Een ander jou verwent
Someone else is pleasing you now
Waarom moest dit nou
Why did this have to happen?
Zoveel stille dagen
So many quiet days
Anders toen we samen waren
Different compared to when we were together

Liefste mijn hart doet zo’n zeer
My dearest, my heart aches so much

Was everything really for nothing?

It was once very long and very nice
