"Script error: No such module "Lang"." (Script error: No such module "IPA".) is the official anthem of the Balearic island of Majorca, Spain. It is based on a poem by Joan Alcover i Maspons about an ancient Majorcan children's song. The music is a work by Catalan composer Amadeu Vives, and in November 1996 the Consell Insular de Mallorca made it the anthem for the Island.[1]

I
O mysterious Balanguera,
like a spider of fine art,
her spinning wheel emptieth
and off our lives it pulleth.
𝄆 Like a Parca she pondereth,
and seweth well tomorrow’s cloth.
The Balanguera spinneth, spinneth
and the Balanguera shall spin. 𝄇

II
Her glimpse to the past she turneth,
O’er shades of ancestry she watcheth,
and of the new spring she owneth;
Of the seed’s cover she knoweth.
𝄆 She knoweth that the stump higher climbeth,
the deeper its roots can go.
The Balanguera spinneth, spinneth
and the Balanguera shall spin. 𝄇

III
From traditions and from hopes
The flag for the youth she weaveth
as one who a wedding veil prepareth
with hairs of gold and silver
𝄆 of the cradle that groweth
of the old age that departeth.
The Balanguera spinneth, spinneth
and the Balanguera shall spin. 𝄇
