La Balanguera misteriosa,
com una aranya d'art subtil,
buida que buida sa filosa,
de nostra vida treu lo fil.
Com una parca bé cavilla
teixint la tela per demà
La Balanguera fila, fila,
la Balanguera filarà.
Girant l'ullada cap enrera
guaita les ombres de l'avior,
i de la nova primavera
sap on s'amaga la llavor.
Sap que la soca més s'enfila
com més endins pot arrelar
La Balanguera fila, fila,
la Balanguera filarà.
De tradicions i d'esperances
tix la senyera pel jovent
com qui fa un vel de noviances
amb cabelleres d'or i argent
de la infantesa qui s'enfila
de la vellura qui se'n va.
La Balanguera fila, fila,
la Balanguera filarà
zu deutsch:
Die geheimnisvolle Balanguera
leert, ja, leert ihren Spinnrocken
wie eine Spinne in höchster Kunst
zieht sie den Faden unseren Lebens.
Wie eine Parze [1] die wohlbedacht
den Stoff für das Morgen spinnt
spinnt die Balanguera, spinnt,
wird die Balanguera immerdar spinnen.
Den Blick nach hinten gerichtet
erspäht sie die Schatten der Herkunft-
und sie weiß, wo sich der Keim
des neuen Frühlings versteckt.
Sie weiß, dass der Baumstamm umso höher strebt,
je tiefer seine Wurzeln reichen können;
die Balanguera spinnt unablässig,
immerdar wird die Balanguera spinnen.
Aus Traditionen und Hoffnungen
webt sie die Standarte der Jugend
wie jemand, der aus Fäden von Gold und Silber
einen Hochzeitsschleier macht.
Aus der Kindheit, die sich ins Leben einreiht,
aus dem Alter, das es verlässt
spinnt die Balanguera, spinnt,
wird die Balanguera immerdar spinnen.
