"'''{{lang|eu|italic=no|Eusko Abendaren Ereserkia}}'''"{{efn|Alternatively written "Euzko Abendaren Ereserkija".}} ("Anthem of the Basque Race"), also known as "'''{{lang|eu|italic=no|Euskadiko Ereserkia}}'''" ("Anthem of the Basque Country"), is the official [[anthem]] of the [[Basque Country (autonomous community)|Basque Country]] in northern [[Spain]]. The lyrics were written by [[Basque nationalist]] writer [[Sabino Arana]], and its melody is based on an old Basque tune. The anthem was originally used for the [[Basque Nationalist Party]] (BNP/PNV), and it was adopted by the first [[Basque Government]] in the 1930s.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20130718194442/http://www.lehendakaritza.ejgv.euskadi.net/r48-contsimb/es/contenidos/informacion/v2_simbolos/es_simboide/simbolos_identidad.html Símbolos e identidad] ''Lehendakaritza''.</ref><ref name="protocolo"/> Its re-proclamation by the [[Basque Parliament]] on 14 April 1983 was opposed by several parties that deemed it still to be bound to the PNV rather than to the rest of the [[Basques]].<ref name="protocolo" />

Like the national anthem of Spain, "[[Marcha Real]]", the lyrics are not officially sung. The law makes official the music with no lyrics, since opposition parties felt the Arana text too religious and linked to the BNP.{{cn|date=July 2021}}{{or?|date=July 2021}}

gloria y gloria
a nuestro Buen Señor.

Hay un roble en Vizcaya,
Viejo, fuerte y sano,
Como el mismo y su ley.

Sobre el roble tenemos,
la sagrada cruz,

|<poem>O Basque country, above thou goest,
Full of glory thou art.
With thee, with our Lord honour'd.

An oak tree in Biscay resteth,
Firm and fresh it standeth,
Just like thy law it echoeth.

We find on the tree
Thy cross holy
Which always above us sitteth.

Sing, o Basque country,
Thou art full of glory.
With thee, with our Lord Honour'd.</poem>
