La Balanguera
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.𝄆 Como una parca que bien cavila, tejiendo la tela para el mañana.O mysterious Balanguera, like a spider of fine art, her spinning wheel emptieth and off our lives it pulleth.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.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.
