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.

'T is toch niet uit te leggen liefde is 'n gevoel
Een blik in jou ogen het horen van jou stem
Elke kerel mag het horen dat ik stapel op jou ben
Mijn hart gaat boem boem boem
Mijn hart gaat boem boem boem
Het is het ritme van de liefde ik wil alles voor je doenMijn hart gaat boem boem boem
Mijn hart gaat boem boem boem
Ik wil die mooie uren met jou over doen
Jij hebt mij leren lachen niets was jou te dol
Zat mijn hart vol met tranen zag jij altijd de lol
Ik kan jou niet meer missen wat moet ik zonder jou
'K wil het van de daken schreeuwen dat ik zoveel van je hou
Mijn hart gaat boem boem boem
Mijn hart gaat boem boem boem
Het is het ritme van de liefde ik wil alles voor je doen
Mijn hart gaat boem boem boem
Mijn hart gaat boem boem boem
Ik wil die mooie uren met jou over doen
Mijn hart gaat boem boem boem
Mijn hart gaat boem boem boem
Het is het ritme van de liefde ik wil alles voor je doen
Mijn hart gaat boem boem boem
Mijn hart gaat boem boem boem
Ik wil die mooie uren met jou over doen
In Frans Bauer's song "Mijn Hart Gaat Boem Boem Boem," the singer expresses a deep and passionate love that transcends verbal explanation. The opening lines emphasize that words are inadequate to convey the complexity and intensity of love. The phrase "Ik hoef jou niet te zeggen wat ik voor je voel" suggests a powerful connection that exists beyond verbal communication; it implies that the beloved already knows the depth of affection without needing explicit confirmation. This emotional bond is further illustrated through powerful imagery—"Een blik in jou ogen" (a look into your eyes) and "het horen van jou stem" (hearing your voice)—which highlights how these simple yet profound moments reinforce his feelings. The admission that “Elke kerel mag het horen dat ik stapel op jou ben” reveals his desire to proclaim his love openly, celebrating a universal sentiment that resonates with anyone who has been in love.
The chorus, where "Mijn hart gaat boem boem boem" is repeated, serves as a rhythmic metaphor for the heartbeat associated with love. The rhythmic "boem boem boem" captures the exhilaration and intensity of romantic feelings, likening it to a lively beat that encapsulates the essence of love. This repetition not only emphasizes the feelings of joy and excitement but also evokes a sense of urgency and fervor in the narrative. The lyrics "Het is het ritme van de liefde ik wil alles voor je doen” further underline the desire to be devoted to the beloved, illustrating love as both a powerful emotion and a driving force that compels one to act selflessly for someone else’s happiness. The acknowledgment of wanting to "do everything for you" conveys a readiness to sacrifice and the joy that comes from giving.
The song continues to capture the transformational power of love, with the lines depicting how the beloved brings joy and laughter into the singer’s life. Phrases like "Jij hebt mij leren lachen" (you taught me to laugh) and "zat mijn hart vol met tranen" (my heart was full of tears) illustrate a shift from sorrow to joy, indicating that the beloved plays a crucial role in healing emotional wounds and fostering happiness. This sentiment aligns with the idea that love is not only an impulsive feeling but also a nurturing force that allows individuals to rediscover joy. The transition from sadness to happiness highlights the importance of companionship in overcoming significant emotional struggles, reinforcing the idea that love enriches life with positivity.
Ultimately, Bauer's song encapsulates the all-encompassing nature of love, portraying it as a joyous, healing, and life-affirming experience. The repeated chorus punctuates the narrative, encapsulating the essence of what it means to love deeply and be in love. The desire to relive "die mooie uren met jou over doen" (those beautiful hours with you) reinforces the fleeting yet precious nature of romantic experiences, emphasizing a longing to cherish and repeat moments of happiness shared together. Throughout the lyrics, Bauer crafts a resonant love story that celebrates the journey of love—from the initial feelings of infatuation to the profound emotional connections formed. It is a beautiful reminder of how love can transform individuals, bring them joy, and inspire them to cherish every moment with their beloved.
