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.
Duizend tranen
Frans Bauer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Al mijn liefde was voor jou, alleen voor jou
Bij jou kon ik gelukkig zijn, ja jij was mijn zonneschijn
Duizend tranen zeggen dat ik van je hou
In jouw ogen staat verdriet, maar hier blijven wil je niet
Schat ik vaag je, heb je dan misschien berouw
Jij gaf mij toch zoveel kracht, jij hebt mij geluk gebracht
Duizend tranen zeggen dat ik van je hou
refr.:
k Wacht op jou, ik zal dromen dat je terug komt hier bij mij
Samen lachen samen huilen, heel mijn leven dat ben jij
Er komt een dag dan krijg je spijt, dan voel jij die eenzaamheid
Duizend tranen zeggen dat ik van je hou
Duizend tranen zeggen dat ik van je hou
refr.
The lyrics to Frans Bauer's "Duizend Tranen" tell the story of a heartbroken lover who has seen their relationship come to an end. The first line of the song reveals that their happy times together are now in the past, and that the singer now has to face the prospect of moving on without their significant other. All of their love was given to the person they are now separated from, highlighted by the line "Al mijn liefde was voor jou, alleen voor jou." Despite the pain caused by their separation, the singer reminisces on the happy times they shared and how their ex-partner brought light into their life: "Bij jou kon ik gelukkig zijn, ja jij was mijn zonneschijn."
While the singer may be holding out hope for a reconciliation, their ex appears to have already moved on. They are described as looking sad and full of regret, but not wanting to stay in the same place. The chorus of the song expresses the singer's longing for their ex-lover to return to their life, to again experience happiness together, and to give them a chance to show them how much they still love them. The lyrics end by repeating the line that has been the central theme of the song – "Duizend tranen zeggen dat ik van je hou" – conveying the depth of the singer's feelings and the pain of their loss.
