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.
Aún es tiempo para decirte
Ahora que aún no duele la herida
Que te quiero sin que me exijas
Ser el cerco de tu sombra
Que te sigue y te limita
No pretendas hacerme tuyo
Que no sirvo para cautivo
Solamente sé de un camino
Para atarme a tu paisaje
Y es el que va haciendo el río
Quiéreme así
Y no esperes más que el recuerdo
Mi pobre recuerdo
Y un ramo de viento
Aunque pienses que te utilizo
Lo hago como respiro el aire
No sé como puedo explicarte
Que tu vida es sólo tuya
Y que yo no soy de nadie
Si supieras que entre tus brazos
Me encadeno apaciblemente
Y es entonces cuando se enciende
La tristeza más terrible
Que es la urgencia de perderte
Ahora que aún no duele la herida
Que te quiero sin que me exijas
Ser el cerco de tu sombra
Que te sigue y te limita
No pretendas hacerme tuyo
Que no sirvo para cautivo
Solamente sé de un camino
Para atarme a tu paisaje
Y es el que va haciendo el río
Quiéreme así
Y no esperes más que el recuerdo
Mi pobre recuerdo
Y un ramo de viento
Aunque pienses que te utilizo
Lo hago como respiro el aire
No sé como puedo explicarte
Que tu vida es sólo tuya
Y que yo no soy de nadie
Si supieras que entre tus brazos
Me encadeno apaciblemente
Y es entonces cuando se enciende
La tristeza más terrible
Que es la urgencia de perderte

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,

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
