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.
Waarom Heb Jij Mij Verlaten
Frans Bauer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Interesting Facts ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Jij leefde jouw leven, maar mij zag je niet
Maar toch bleef ik hopen, dacht, eens ziet ze het in
Maar ik ben er nu achter, ik hoef niet te wachten
Want dat heeft geen zin
Waarom heb je mij verlaten, waarom ben jij weggegaan
Was er dan niet meer te praten, waarom moest ik jou laten gaan
Frans Bauer's ''Waarom heb jij mij verlaten'' is a sorrowful song that tells a story of a man who has fought and hoped for his lover's attention and love but was abandoned in the end. The lyrics depict the struggle of the singer to remain in the relationship despite his lover's lack of time and attention towards the man. The singer's efforts to make their relationship work ultimately failed, and he is left to wonder where they went wrong.
The chorus of the song, "Waarom heb je mij verlaten, waarom ben jij weggegaan, Was er dan niet meer te praten, waarom moest ik jou laten gaan," shows the singer's despair and confusion as to why his lover left him without giving a proper explanation. Through the lines, the man queries his partner's intentions and ponders whether there was anything else that he could have done to save their relationship.
The lines, "Alles lijkt nu veranderd, het huis is leeg zonder jou," illustrate the emptiness that the singer feels after his partner's departure. He is left to fill the void left by his lover's absence and is struggling to cope with the stark loneliness that he feels without her.
