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.

Samen op zoek naar liefde, maar nooit gevonden bij elkaar
Mijn hart gevuld met wensen, die fantasie van, was zij het maar
Wat kon ik van jou verwachten, in al mijn gedachten
Was jij in mijn leven
Of blijf ik eeuwig dromen en moet ik jou maar vergeten

Ayayayayayayay, amore, 'k heb mijn hart aan jou verloren
Ayayayayay, m'n liefste, maak m'n dromen waar ik mis je

Ik zit alleen op m'n kamer en staar door de ramen waar ben je Manuela
Ik wacht hier nu al zoveel uren, maar 't moet niet lang meer duren
Waar blijf je Manuela
Of ben je mij soms vergeten, laat mij dat dan weten
Dus bel me Manuela
Wij hadden hier toch afgesproken, mijn hart is gebroken
Waarom nou Manuela
Ik wil 't nog niet geloven, zijn al jouw woorden gelogen
Ik wacht nog even ja, echt maar heel even op jou, Manuela

Zomerzon, 'k wou dat jij nog wat blijven kon
't Is maar 'n vraag, maar 'n grote wens
Maar jij maakt mij een ander mens
Zomerzon, 'k wou dat jij nog wat blijven kon
Jij geeft mij een blij gevoel, oh zomerzon

Ik heb 't jou nog niet zo vaak gezegd
Waarom dat heb ik jou al uit gelegd
Er is wel 'n reden, maar ik hou 't niet meer
'k Zou het uit willen schreeuwen, dan begrijp je me weer

Spreken is zilver, maar zwijgen is goud
Toch wil ik je zeggen, dat ik van je hou
Het zijn maar vier woorden die je zeker wilt horen
Ik zwijg liever niet, omdat ik van je hou

Amor, amor, amor, als ik jou zie wordt ik verliefd tot over mijn oren
Amor, amor, amor, jij keek me aan, ik liet me gaan

'k Wou je alles geven
Amor, amor, amor, jij maakt me blij, al ben ik vrij kom in mijn leven

Samen op zoek naar liefde, maar nooit gevonden bij elkaar
We searched for love together, but we never found it with each other

Mijn hart gevuld met wensen, die fantasie van, was zij het maar
My heart is filled with desires, and I fantasize about her being the one

Wat kon ik van jou verwachten, in al mijn gedachten
What could I expect from you, as I thought about you often

Was jij in mijn leven
Were you ever present in my life

Of blijf ik eeuwig dromen en moet ik jou maar vergeten
Or will I always be dreaming and have to forget about you

Ayayayayayayay, amore, 'k heb mijn hart aan jou verloren
Oh, love, I've lost my heart to you
