The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Deja que la casa se caiga
Que se queme la sopa
Y que el lino se haga pelotas
Pero no te quedes callada
Ni te sientas esclava
Cenicienta es un cuento de hadas
Y tú eres mi princesa, mi riqueza
Mi libertad
Así que deja ya la mesa
De cabeza
Y bésame como antes
Y trátame como amante
Y deja que el mundo se acabe
Y súbeme a las estrellas
Y bájame a donde quieras
Y sueña que estás en Madrid
Deja que la ropa se arrugue
Que la gente murmulle
Que eres una desobligada
Que ya no pareces casada
Que cambió tu mirada
Cenicienta es un cuento de hadas
Y tú eres mi princesa, mi riqueza
Mi libertad
Así que deja ya la mesa
De cabeza
Y bésame como antes
Y trátame como amante
Y deja que el mundo se acabe
Oh
Y súbeme a las estrellas
Y bájame a donde quieras
Y sueña que estás en Madrid
Beatriz, oh-oh-uoh-oh-oh
Beatriz, oh-oh-oh
Uh-uh, oh, yeah, oh-oh
Uh-uoh, yeah, oh-oh-oh
Deja que la casa se caiga
Que se queme la sopa
Y que el lino se haga pelotas
Pero no te quedes callada
Ni te sientas esclava
Cenicienta es un cuento de hadas
Y tú eres mi princesa, mi riqueza
Mi libertad
Así que deja ya la mesa
De cabeza
Y bésame como antes
Y trátame como amante
Y deja que el mundo se acabe
Y súbeme a las estrellas
Y bájame a donde quieras
Y sueña que estás en Madrid
Deja que la ropa se arrugue
Que la gente murmulle
Que eres una desobligada
Que ya no pareces casada
Que cambió tu mirada
Cenicienta es un cuento de hadas
Y tú eres mi princesa, mi riqueza
Mi libertad
Así que deja ya la mesa
De cabeza
Y bésame como antes
Y trátame como amante
Y deja que el mundo se acabe
Oh
Y súbeme a las estrellas
Y bájame a donde quieras
Y sueña que estás en Madrid
Beatriz, oh-oh-uoh-oh-oh
Beatriz, oh-oh-oh
Uh-uh, oh, yeah, oh-oh
Uh-uoh, yeah, oh-oh-oh
Deja que la casa se caiga

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
