German term (edited):
Blumen kaufen keine Lebensmittel
Fine words butter no parsnips?
It doesn't appear to be an idiom even in German, so you can probably make one up. Other possibilities might be
Fine words don't fill the belly (apparently a Dutch and Portuguese proverb)
Dreams/fine words/etc. won't put food on the table.
