Verse 1
Out here in the fields
I fight for my meals
I get my back into my living
I don't need to fight
To prove I'm right
I don't need to be forgiven
Yeah yeah....

Traducción literaria al español — fiel al sentimiento del autor, no es cantable.
Aquí fuera en los campos
Cultivo para mis comidas
Me pongo la espalda en mi vida
No necesito pelear
Para demostrar que tengo razón
No necesito ser perdonado
Sí, sí, sí, sí, sí
No llores
No levantes la mirada
Es solo tierra de desperdicio adolescente
Sally, toma mi mano
Viajaremos al sur cruzando tierras
Apaga el fuego
Y no mires más allá de mi hombro
El exilio está aquí
Los mundos felices están cerca
Vamos a juntarnos
Antes de que seamos mucho más viejos
Tierra de desperdicio adolescente
Es solo tierra de desperdicio adolescente
Tierra de desperdicio adolescente
Oh, sí
Tierra de desperdicio adolescente
Todos están desperdiciados!

Fuori qui nei campi
Lavoro come contadino per i miei pasti
Rientro nella mia vita
Non ho bisogno di combattere
Per dimostrare che ho ragione
Non ho bisogno di essere perdonato
Sì, sì, sì, sì, sì
Non piangere
Non alzare lo sguardo
È solo un deserto dei ragazzi
Sally, prendimi la mano
Viaggeremo a sud attraverso la terra
Spengi il fuoco
E non guardare oltre la mia spalla
L'esodo è qui
I mondi felici sono vicini
Vediamo di unirci
Prima che diventiamo molto più vecchi
Deserto dei ragazzi
È solo un deserto dei ragazzi
Deserto dei ragazzi
Oh, sì
Deserto dei ragazzi
Sono tutti persi!

Aqui fora nos campos
Eu cultivo para me alimentar
Eu me viro com minha vida
Eu não preciso lutar
Para provar que estou certo
Eu não preciso ser perdoado
É, é, é, é, é
Não chore
Não levante os olhos
É só um deserto da adolescência
Sally, pegue minha mão
Vamos viajar para o sul, atravessando a terra
Apague a fogueira
E não olhe além do meu ombro
O exílio está aqui
Os mundos felizes estão perto
Vamos nos reunir
Antes que fiquemos muito mais velhos
Deserto da adolescência
É só um deserto da adolescência
Deserto da adolescência
Oh, yeah
Deserto da adolescência
Eles todos estão perdidos!

We are preparing the chords
From the album
Who's Next
The Who · 1971 · Track 1
The story behind
«Baba O'Riley» is a composition by the British group The Who, created by Pete Townshend, the band's lead guitarist. This song is part of the album Who's Next, released in 1971. The piece is recognized for its innovative blend of hard rock and the early electronic music experiments carried out by Townshend. It is often called «Teenage Wasteland» due to a phrase repeated in the chorus. The song's introduction features a synthesizer, followed by energetic piano chords before the other instruments join in. Drummer Keith Moon suggested including a violin solo at the end, performed by Dave Arbus. The song's title is inspired by the philosophical influences of Meher Baba and the musical influences of Terry Riley. Initially, Townshend wrote «Baba O'Riley» for his Lifehouse project, a rock opera that was to precede the 1969 album Tommy. The song originated from a nine-minute demo that the band adjusted. In Lifehouse, the song was to be performed by Ray, a Scottish farmer who, at the beginning of the album, reunites with his wife Sally and their two children to begin a journey to London. When Lifehouse was abandoned, many of its songs were included on the 1971 album Who's Next. Despite recommendations from those in their musical circle, the song became the first track on the record, as some considered it risky to open an album with such an extensive and striking synthesizer introduction. It was released as a single in several European countries, but in the United States and the United Kingdom it was only included on the album. The violin solo in the song's coda, which shifts from rock to an Irish folk rhythm, was Moon's idea and was performed by Arbus in the studio. In live performances, singer Roger Daltrey replaces the violin with a harmonica solo. The Who performed a live version with a violin solo played by Nigel Kennedy at the Royal Albert Hall on November 27, 2000. The violin solo is based on classical Indian music as a tribute to Meher Baba, the Indian mystic who inspired the song. The song's music derives from the deep conceptual framework of the Lifehouse project. Townshend entered Meher Baba's birth year into a synthesizer, which generated the song's introductory chords. These chords would have served as the musical backdrop for «Baba O'Riley», but ultimately the frantic sequence, reminiscent of a roulette wheel rattling, was performed by Townshend on a Lowrey Berkshire Deluxe TBO-1 organ, which provided the repetitive marimba sound of the introduction. This creative approach was inspired by minimalist composer Terry Riley. The names of Riley and Baba were incorporated into the song's title as a tribute by Townshend. In their performances, The Who used the song's synthesizer as a foundation, due to the difficulty of performing the track live. Originally, the song lasted 30 minutes and was planned for use in concerts at the Royal Festival Hall in London. During the organization of Who's Next, «Baba O'Riley» was edited to highlight its best moments. The other parts of the song appeared on Lifehouse Chronicles, Pete Townshend's third disc, as «Baba M1» (O'Riley 1st Movement 1971) and «Baba M2» (2nd Movement Part 1 1971).
