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.

Es el ciclo de
Desertar
Ciclos
Cuanto tiempo para
Despertar
Siglos
Siglos
Siglos
Momentánea sed
De gritar
Desquicio
En el espejo corro
Sin mirar
De sed y hambre despertar
Estar ahogado en libertad
Y verte sentado en tu verdad
De sed y hambre despertar
Yo no lo haria por piedad
No todo tiene un corte vertical
Vicios
Cuanto tiempo para
Despertar
Desquicio
El espejo
Ya sin imagen
De sed y hambre despertar
Estar ahogado en libertad
Y aun verte sentado en tu verdad
De sed y hambre despertar
Yo no lo haria por piedad
No todo tiene un corte vertical
Siglos
Algo tiene ya
Que cambiar

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,
