Tears ran down her cheeks.

Literal

Tears [subject-が] cheeks [object-を] tracing fell.

A poetic tear-flowing line. 伝わり落ちる ('traced-down and fell') is the compound 伝わる + 落ちる, capturing both the tracing motion and the eventual drop. Lexical variations on tears-down-cheeks imagery (different verbs, different particles for the path) capture subtly different visual emphases.
