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 my sense of time

Or does it just seem that way to me?

Can't leave my apartment

The chance would be way too big

That I miss something inside

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

Our world stretches from the bed to the fridge

And if you ask me, it can stay exactly like this

For the moment

I just need bread and water

Bread and water and you

I just need bread and water

Bread and water

At the moment, I just need bread and water

Bread and water and you

I can give up everything else

Just not bread and water and you

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

Every movement you make

The little wrinkles when you laugh

Your make-up is running

Your hair is messy

But you’ve never looked better

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

Our world stretches from the bed to the fridge

And if you ask me

It can stay exactly like this

For the moment

I just need bread and water

Bread and water and you

I just need bread and water

Bread and water

At the moment, I just need bread and water

Bread and water and you

I can give up everything else

Just not bread and water and you

Let's not kid ourselves

We have to get out of here someday

But as long as we don't starve

We'll put that off

For the moment

I just need bread and water

Bread and water and you

I just need bread and water

Bread and water

At the moment, I just need bread and water

Bread and water and you

I can give up everything else

Just not 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.
