Brot & Wasser Lyrics in English Xavi

Home / Lyrics Translation / Xavi / Brot & Wasser

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Brot & Wasser by Xavi from German to English.

I haven't slept for days

Lost all sense of time

Or is it just me

Can't leave my apartment

The risk would be way too big

That I'd miss something inside

I don't care if all the stores are closed today

Our world runs from the bed to the fridge

And if you ask me it can stay just like that

For now

I just need bread and water

Bread and water and you

I only need bread and water

Bread and water

Right now I only need bread and water

Bread and water and you

I can do without everything else

Just not without bread and water and you

I can't take my eyes off you, I like

Every move you make

The tiny wrinkles when you laugh

Your makeup has run

Your hair's a mess

But you've never looked better

I don't care if all the stores are closed today

Our world runs from the bed to the fridge

And if you ask me

It can stay just like that

For now

I just need bread and water

Bread and water and you

I only need bread and water

Bread and water

Right now I only need bread and water

Bread and water and you

I can do without everything else

Just not without bread and water and you

Let's not fool ourselves

We gotta get out of here sometime

But as long as we don't starve

We'll put that off

For now

I just need bread and water

Bread and water and you

I only need bread and water

Bread and water

Right now I only need bread and water

Bread and water and you

I can do without everything else

Just not without bread and water and you

SONG MEANING

"Brot & Wasser" is Xavi’s cozy love letter to life’s bare essentials. Picture two people happily marooned in their apartment: the shops are closed, the outside world can wait, and their entire universe stretches only from the bed to the fridge. Over an upbeat melody, Xavi sings that all he needs right now is the simplest survival kit—bread, water, and the person he adores. The messier the hair and smudgier the makeup, the better; imperfections make the moment feel even more real.

Beneath the playful minimalism lies a gentle reminder: one day they will have to step back into reality, but why rush? As long as they are fed and together, they can postpone everything else. It’s a feel-good anthem for slowing down, savoring love, and realizing that sometimes the greatest luxury is just sharing everyday moments with someone special.
