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 licht in de duisternis
Frans Bauer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Op onze liefde n kroon
Altijd n woord voor elkaar
Soms met t kleinste gebaar
Samen het mooiste gevoel
Altijd op weg naar een doel
Vechten voor ieders geluk
Geen mens maakt die droom van ons stuk
refr.:
Jij bent het licht in de duisternis
Maar ook de traan van mijn droefenis
Als ik diep in jouw ogen kijk voel ik me rijk
Jij bent de gloed aan de horizon
De steun waar ik steeds op bouwen kon
Zonder jou is mijn leven koud, ik hou van jou
Zonder jou is mijn leven koud, ik hou van jou
Jij bent de geur van een roos
Maakte mij vaak sprakeloos
Net als n blad in de wind
Of als de lach van n kind
Eeuwig verlangend naar jou
Waar ik mijn hart aan vertrouw
Altijd jouw lach om me heen
Geen dag laat ik jou nog alleen
refr.(2x)
These lyrics are about a couple in love who are committed to each other and share a common goal. The love they share is the "crown" that they wear, and they have each other's backs through thick and thin. They are always striving towards their dreams together, and no one can shake the foundation of their love. The singer describes their partner as the light in their darkness, as well as the one who brings them tears when they are sad. When they look into their partner's eyes, they feel rich and content. Their partner is not only the glow on the horizon, but they are also the constant support that they can always rely on. The singer is pretty clear about their love, saying that without their partner, their life is cold.
Throughout the song, the singer uses metaphors to describe their love - their partner is the scent of a rose, the laugh of a child, the rustling leaf in the wind. These comparisons show how the love between the couple is a constant and natural element in their lives, just like the scent of a rose or the sound of a child's laughter.
The song's overall message is that true love brings light to our lives, and we should always cherish and hold on to it. The singer's relationship is a source of strength, and the partner is the one who brings joy and happiness to their life. The love shared between them is the fire that warms their cold life.
