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.
Vandaag
Frans Bauer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Samen even uit je dak gaan, het geeft niet hoe of waar
Je leeft om te genieten, ieder uurtje van de dag
Iedereen mag het weten, wees blij dat je leven mag
refr.:
Vandaag zet ik de bloemen lekker even buiten
Vandaag zet ik de hele wereld op zijn kop
Vandaag zoek ik gewoon een gezellig plekkie op
Elke dag hetzelfde, er komt geen einde aan
Om zeven uur dan gaat de wekker, weer tijd om op te staan
Een kopje koffie en een krantje, het is steeds weer hetzelfde lied
Maar vandaag blijf ik lekker liggen, nee mijn baas die ziet me niet
refr.
Niemand houdt me tegen, vandaag zet ik eens door
Je leeft toch om te leven, gezelligheid gaat voor
Morgen wordt het anders, dan ben ik weer paraat
Vandaag kunnen ze de pot op, want morgen is misschien te laat
refr.
