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.
Ik Hoor Nog Steeds Jouw Naam
Frans Bauer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'k voel me zo alleen
ik heb van alles gedaan
maar toch ging jij heen
ik raak dat gevoel maar niet kwijt
misschien krijg je morgen wel spijt
weet dan dat de deur openstaat
voor jou voor altijd
refrain:
ik hoor nog steeds jouw naam
de klanken van jou stem
waarom ben jij gegaan
zeg waar je bent
ik doe geen oog meer dicht
wat moet ik zonder jou
't is zo koud en zo stil in huis
liefste waar ben je nou
ik lees al die brieven van jou
die jij me ooit eens schreef
dat is alles voor mij
wat hier achterbleef
ik raak er maar niet aan gewend
dat jij niet meer bij me bent
zo heb ik jou in al die tijd
echt nooit gekend
refrain
ik doe geen oog meer dicht
wat moet ik zonder jou
't is zo koud en zo stil in huis
liefste waar ben je nou
The lyrics to Frans Bauer's song "Ik Hoor Nog Steeds Jouw Naam" are a heartfelt expression of the pain and loneliness that can come from a relationship ending. The singer of the song is feeling very alone, despite having done everything he could to try and keep the relationship going. He can't shake the feeling that maybe his partner will come back and beg for another chance, but he's not sure if he would take them back if they did.
The refrain of the song is particularly poignant, as he talks about how he still hears her name and the sound of her voice, even though she's no longer there. He's desperate to know where she is and why she left, and he can't stop thinking about her. The line "what should I do without you" is repeated twice, underscoring the depth of his despair.
Overall, the song captures the feeling of heartbreak and the deep sense of loss that can come from a relationship ending. It's a powerful reminder of the importance of love and connection in our lives, and how hard it can be to move on when we lose someone we care about deeply.
