"Eres Un Orgullo a nuestro pueblo,
que nunca mas debemos de olvidar,
tu inspiraste a muchos con tus triunfos,
tus logros nos inspiran a luchar.
Eres un estrella que nos enciende el corazón,
eres un ejemplo a los chicos que buscan dirección.
yo se que tendrás muchas victorias el día que te
vayas a luchar.
Yo se que tendrás muchas victoria,
el día que te vayas a luchar.
Ana Gabriela,eres tu la triunfadora,
eres un ejemplo que si luchamos triunfamos .
Nos llenaste el alma con tus sueños,
haber si somos dignos de ese honor.
Estaré pensando de ti, Gaby,
el día que te vayas a luchar,
el día que te vayas a triunfar.

You are our pride and joy to our Fatherland,
and we will never forget you.
You inspired many with your victories.

You are a star, that fires our hearts,

We hope to be worthy of the honor.
We shall be thinking of you Gaby,
the day you go and compete.
The day you go to triumph.
