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.
Het Leven Gaat Niet Over Rozen
Frans Bauer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Zijn er tranen, heb je zorgen
Kent je hart alleen nog maar verdriet
Denk dan altijd maar aan morgen
Want vandaag verander je dat niet
Het hoort allemaal bij het leven
Pluk ieder moment van de dag
Het is nemen, maar ook geven
refrain:
Het leven gaat niet over rozen
Er is niet altijd zonneschijn
Maar kijk eens heel diep in mijn ogen
Wat kan er dan nog mooier zijn
Het leven gaat niet over rozen
Soms zijn er zeeën van verdriet
Je moet mijn woorden maar geloven
Want al die tranen helpen niet
Wat ik je nu zou willen zeggen
Dichtbij jou voel ik zoveel geluk
Jij hoeft mij niet uit te leggen
Jouw verdriet vergeet dat nu maar vlug
Geloof nu maar in al je dromen
Geniet elk moment van de dag
Daarom zeg ik deze woorden
In de hoop, dat jij weer naar me lacht
refrain
(3x)
Je moet mijn woorden maar geloven
Want al die tranen helpen niet
Frans Bauer's song "Het Leven Gaat Niet Over Rozen" is an uplifting song that is filled with words of encouragement to anyone facing life's difficulties. The lyrics of this song translate to "Life isn't always easy, sometimes there are tears and worries, and your heart is filled with sadness. However, always remember that tomorrow is a new day and today's problems cannot be changed. Life is about taking and giving, and therefore, I am giving you a generous smile."
Frans Bauer goes on to advise that although life may not always be easy, it's important to cherish every moment of the day to make the most of life. It's also important to believe in your dreams and let go of your worries, and by doing so you'll be filled with happiness.
The chorus of the song is repeated three times, and it reminds listeners that life isn't always easy and that there can be much sorrow and tears, but if you look deep into his eyes, you'll see a ray of hope and that there is still beauty in the world. The song ends by reminding us that no amount of tears can change the situation, and hence we should choose to believe in these words of hope.
