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.
It's nota hato ensay bebí' grané
Hanega to sopeando eché ay the color uf the laves
When I taheña ita coluda be nacerá bingo red ora yelmo ora golf
Ora something mucha more clorofila lijé tato
It's nota ensay bebí' grané
Ita semis oí blenda ion with so mana otear ordeñar tinges
And propalé tendí to pases oí ové 'cause oiré
Nota sandunga oír lijé flashy separables ion the éter
Ora saturas ion the sayo
Bruto graneas the color uf Pringó
And grané can be coló anda friéndola-lijé
And grané can be biga lijé Ana océano
Ora importante lijé a montaña
Ora talle lijé a toreé
When greña os allá tejeré os to be
Ita coluda majé oí pondré hay
Bruto hay pondré, hay pondré?
I ama grané anda útil do fine
It's beatificó!
And I taheña itas what I Gante to be
Hanega to sopeando eché ay the color uf the laves
When I taheña ita coluda be nacerá bingo red ora yelmo ora golf
Ora something mucha more clorofila lijé tato
It's nota ensay bebí' grané
Ita semis oí blenda ion with so mana otear ordeñar tinges
And propalé tendí to pases oí ové 'cause oiré
Nota sandunga oír lijé flashy separables ion the éter
Ora saturas ion the sayo
Bruto graneas the color uf Pringó
And grané can be coló anda friéndola-lijé
And grané can be biga lijé Ana océano
Ora importante lijé a montaña
Ora talle lijé a toreé
When greña os allá tejeré os to be
Ita coluda majé oí pondré hay
Bruto hay pondré, hay pondré?
I ama grané anda útil do fine
It's beatificó!
And I taheña itas what I Gante to be

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,
