Lieferandomann Lyrics in English Von Wegen Lisbeth

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Lieferandomann by Von Wegen Lisbeth from German to English.
What's the guy from Kaiser's Tengelmann looking at
So cheekily through the crowd at me?
Why doesn't he just normally
Put his damn spinach on the shelf?
He surely sold you bread yesterday
And his phone number on top of it
And said it's on the house, madame
What are you getting yourself into with guys like that?
I am the delivery man
For the sick animal in me
That can only feed itself
Because I spread the bread for it
Everything grows when you water it
Let me know if you see her
The most beautiful man in the whole local transport
Even if it would really be pure coincidence
Doesn't just drive at night at four
Right up to your door
I know there is the option
That other people live here too
But if one is honest with oneself
Realistically, it's not
I am the delivery man
For the sick animal in me
That can only feed itself
Because I spread the bread for it
Everything grows when you water it
Let me know if you see her
Bridge
It breathes, it waits, it listens to me
I want it to die but it never rests
No rotten piece of toast and no old shoe
I bring it the best tiramisu
It breathes, it waits, it never rests
I bring it the best tiramisu
I am the delivery man
For the sick animal in me
That can only feed itself
Because I spread the bread for it
Everything grows when you water it
Let me know if you see her

SONG MEANING

Von Wegen Lisbeth turn a simple late-night grocery run into a quirky psychological thriller. In Lieferandomann the narrator follows his crush through the aisles, fuming with jealousy at every harmless interaction she has with strangers. He pictures himself as the “delivery guy” for a ravenous beast inside him – an insecure, possessive side that he keeps feeding with wild suspicions and over-the-top fantasies. The song’s playful indie sound masks a sharp look at how easily we can invent stories, misread signals and nourish our own paranoia.

While he imagines supermarket clerks slipping her phone numbers and bus drivers timing routes just for her, the chorus reminds us: “Alles wächst wenn man es gießt” – everything grows if you water it. Whether it is love, jealousy or obsessive thoughts, what we feed will flourish. The result is both funny and relatable: a portrait of spiraling overthinking wrapped in catchy melodies and clever German wordplay. Listen closely and you will laugh, cringe and maybe recognize a bit of that hungry little creature in yourself.
