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.
Op Zoek Naar Jouw Liefde
Frans Bauer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Zie sterren niet meer stralen
'k Mis jouw warmte om me heen
Zeg me, waar ben jij gebleven
Verdween zo uit mijn leven
En liet mij hier heel alleen
Heb ik iets gedaan of iets vergeten
Maar kom terug bij mij
Woorden die ik zo graag wil horen
Ben ik jou nu echt verloren
Is het allemaal voorbij
Op zoek naar jouw liefde
'n Reis door mijn dromen
Verdwaald in de stilte
En gevangen in de tijd
Op zoek naar jouw liefde
Zul jij ooit nog komen
De weg is onvindbaar vol onzekerheid
Vragen, ik heb wel 1000 vragen
Maar moet ik ze bij me dragen
Want ik weet niet waar je bent
Eenzaam vecht ik in alle stilte
De kou en zoveel kilte
Ik heb jou nooit zo gekend
Waarom koos jij voor 'n ander leven
Heb ik niet genoeg gegeven
Het doet mij verdriet
Laat mij, nog even met je praten
Ook al heb je mij verlaten
Maar zo weggaan doe je niet
Op zoek naar jouw liefde
'n Reis door mijn dromen
Verdwaald in de stilte
En gevangen in de tijd
Op zoek naar jouw liefde
Zul jij ooit nog komen
De weg is onvindbaar vol onzekerheid
Toe zeg me waar ben je
Ik voel me verloren
Ik mis je waar ben je
Ik wacht hier op jou
Op zoek naar jouw liefde
'n Reis door mijn dromen
Verdwaald in de stilte
En gevangen in de tijd
Op zoek naar jouw liefde
Zul jij ooit nog komen
De weg is onvindbaar vol onzekerheid
De weg is onvindbaar vol onzekerheid
The lyrics of Frans Bauer's "Op Zoek Naar Jouw Liefde" (Searching for Your Love) explore the familiar theme of lost love and the singer's search for answers. He feels lost and alone, wandering without purpose, and unable to see stars shining without his loved one's warmth close to him. He wonders where she has gone, an absence in his life, leaving him feeling incomplete, and he poses the question of whether there is anything he has done to cause her to leave.
He is almost pleading with her, asking her to return to him, to let him know if there is anything he can do, any mistake he can rectify, to win back her affection. The sense of longing and sadness is palpable, as he questions everything about their relationship and contemplates the possibility that he may have lost her forever. The lyrics speak to the pain that comes when we lose someone we love, while also expressing hope that the journey to find love may someday yield results.
The song, like many of Frans Bauer's works, is a mix of Dutch and German lyrics, and it forms a part of the genre of Volksmusik, which focuses on traditional themes and styles. It has enjoyed enormous success, especially in the Netherlands and Germany, and has showcased Bauer's ability to connect with fans through his emotive performances. The song has received critical acclaim for its heartfelt lyrics and the singer's strong vocal delivery.

Ik loop al dagen rond te dwalen
I have been wandering around for days
Zie sterren niet meer stralen
I cannot see stars shining anymore
'k Mis jouw warmte om me heen
I miss your warmth around me
Zeg me, waar ben jij gebleven
Tell me, where have you gone
Verdween zo uit mijn leven
You disappeared from my life like that
En liet mij hier heel alleen
Leaving me all alone here
Heb ik iets gedaan of iets vergeten
Did I do something wrong or forget something
Laat het mij dan even weten
Please let me know
Maar kom terug bij mij
But please come back to me
Woorden die ik zo graag wil horen
Words that I want to hear so badly
Ben ik jou nu echt verloren
Have I really lost you
Is het allemaal voorbij
Is it all over
Op zoek naar jouw liefde
Searching for your love
'n Reis door mijn dromen
A journey through my dreams
Verdwaald in de stilte
Lost in the silence
En gevangen in de tijd
And trapped in time
Zul jij ooit nog komen
Will you ever come back
De weg is onvindbaar vol onzekerheid
The path is uncertain and can't be found
Vragen, ik heb wel 1000 vragen
Questions, I have a thousand of them
Maar moet ik ze bij me dragen
But do I have to carry them with me
Want ik weet niet waar je bent
Because I don't know where you are
Eenzaam vecht ik in alle stilte
Lonely, I fight in complete silence
De kou en zoveel kilte
The cold and so much emptiness
Ik heb jou nooit zo gekend
I have never known you like this before
Waarom koos jij voor 'n ander leven
Why did you choose another life
Heb ik niet genoeg gegeven
Didn't I give enough
Het doet mij verdriet
It makes me sad
Laat mij, nog even met je praten
Let me talk to you for a little while longer
Ook al heb je mij verlaten
Even though you left me
Maar zo weggaan doe je niet
But you can't just leave like that
Toe zeg me waar ben je
Please tell me where you are
Ik voel me verloren
I feel lost
Ik mis je waar ben je
I miss you, where are you
Ik wacht hier op jou
I am waiting here for you
