"" () is the official anthem of the Balearic island of Mallorca, Spain. It is based on a poem by Joan Alcover i Maspons about an ancient Mallorcan 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.

|<poem>I
O mysterious Balanguera,
like a spider of fine art,
her spinning wheel emptieth
and off our lives it pulleth.
๐ Like a Parca she pondereth,
and seweth well tomorrowโs cloth.
The Balanguera spinneth, spinneth
and the Balanguera shall spin. ๐
II
Her glimpse to the past she turneth,
Oโer shades of ancestry she watcheth,
and of the new spring she owneth;
Of the seedโs cover she knoweth.
๐ She knoweth that the stump higher climbeth,
the deeper its roots can go.
The Balanguera spinneth, spinneth
and the Balanguera shall spin. ๐
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
๐ of the cradle that groweth
of the old age that departeth.
The Balanguera spinneth, spinneth
and the Balanguera shall spin. ๐</poem>
