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.
Desde hace tiempo no puedo
Conciliar el sueño y les diré porque
Es una linda chiquilla
Del barrio de abajo que me trae así
Yo la llamo con cariño
Carita chorreada te quiero yo a ti
No me importa la pobreza
Pa mi solo cuenta el cariño por ti
Carita, carita, carita chorreada
Yo quiero saber si estas enamorada
Carita, carita, carita chorreada
Yo te quiero mucho no me importa nada
Carita, carita, carita chorreada
Yo quiero saber si estas enamorada
Carita, carita, carita chorreada
Yo te quiero mucho no me importa nada
Es de gente muy humilde
Por eso se siente que no vale nada
Pero yo la he convencido
Que cuando hay amor eso no cuenta nada
Ven a mis brazos muchacha
Y olvida las penas que traes en el alma
Entrégame tu cariño
Que yo soy el hombre que te ama, que te ama
Carita, carita, carita chorreada
Yo quiero saber si estas enamorada
Carita, carita, carita chorreada
Yo te quiero mucho no me importa nada
Carita, carita, carita chorreada
Yo quiero saber si estas enamorada
Carita, carita, carita chorreada
Yo te quiero mucho no me importa nada
Conciliar el sueño y les diré porque
Es una linda chiquilla
Del barrio de abajo que me trae así
Yo la llamo con cariño
Carita chorreada te quiero yo a ti
No me importa la pobreza
Pa mi solo cuenta el cariño por ti
Carita, carita, carita chorreada
Yo quiero saber si estas enamorada
Carita, carita, carita chorreada
Yo te quiero mucho no me importa nada
Carita, carita, carita chorreada
Yo quiero saber si estas enamorada
Carita, carita, carita chorreada
Yo te quiero mucho no me importa nada
Es de gente muy humilde
Por eso se siente que no vale nada
Pero yo la he convencido
Que cuando hay amor eso no cuenta nada
Ven a mis brazos muchacha
Y olvida las penas que traes en el alma
Entrégame tu cariño
Que yo soy el hombre que te ama, que te ama
Carita, carita, carita chorreada
Yo quiero saber si estas enamorada
Carita, carita, carita chorreada
Yo te quiero mucho no me importa nada
Carita, carita, carita chorreada
Yo quiero saber si estas enamorada
Carita, carita, carita chorreada
Yo te quiero mucho no me importa nada

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”

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
