As of 2013, Gabriel had released twenty studio albums, three live albums, and fifteen compilation albums. Three Gabriel albums reached number one on the Billboard Latin Pop Albums, and seven singles reached number one on the Billboard Latin Songs chart, including "Ay Amor", "Es Demasiado Tarde", and "Quién Como Tú". Her work earned her numerous awards and accolades, including a Grammy Award nomination, four Latin Grammy Award nominations, thirteen Lo Nuestro Awards, as well as awards from the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers; in 2006, she received the Excellence Award at the Lo Nuestro Awards.
In 1987, Ana Gabriel won third place at the OTI Festival in 1987, celebrated in Lisbon, Portugal, where she performed an orchestral version of the pop-power ballad song "Ay Amor", which later was released as a single in its album version; it climbed to the top position in Mexico, all-over Ibero-America and on the Billboard Hot Latin Tracks chart for 14 consecutive weeks.
In 1988 Gabriel released her first album, Tierra de Nadie, followed by Pecado Original in 1989, which met with some chart success. Her 1990 album Quien Como Tú made her a force within the Mexican music industry. Eight months later, her live album En Vivo showcased her powerful stage act and scored several hits: "Hice Bien Quererte", "Propuesta", and "Solamente una Vez".
Throughout the 1990s Gabriel released an album almost every year. A versatile singer, she showcased her talent as an interpreter of many different musical styles, from lambada to mariachi and romantic ballads to pop music. She also honed her skills as a songwriter and a producer, releasing Mi Mexico, a ranchera-influenced, mariachi-backed pop album, in 1991. This unique blend of styles was also reflected in the songs, all written by Gabriel. Her lyrics described strong, active women involved in their love lives, counter to their passive, traditional depiction in older songs. The album also included a tribute to Mexico's most popular singer-songwriter, Juan Gabriel (no relation).
Gabriel scored a number-one hit with the duet "Cosas del Amor" in 1991, which she sang with Vikki Carr, a Mexican-American pop singer famous in the 1960s. The single earned Gabriel a Lo Nuestro Award for Song of the Year in 1992. At the same awards ceremony Gabriel was also named Female Artist of the Year in the Regional Mexican category and Pop Female Artist of the Year; Mi México was named Regional Mexican Album of the Year. In 1993, Gabriel was awarded Best Pop Female Performer at the Lo Nuestro Awards.
In 1996 she released the pop-oriented Viven-cias. She followed this with the traditional ranchera album Con un Mismo Corazón in 1997, an album she wrote and produced herself. Of particular interest is her title-track duet with Vicente Fernandez, one of the most prolific and popular ranchera singers in Mexican history. Burr wrote of the duet, "The beauty here lies in the melding of two great voices—Gabriel's husky sensuality and Fernandez's powerful, understated expressions—set against a 25-piece symphony."
Gabriel released another live album in 1998, En la Plaza de Toros Mexico, a 30-track boxed set. That same year she traveled to Miami to work with the renowned producer Emilio Estefan, Jr., on her 1999 album Soy Como Soy. The result was a pop-influenced ranchera album that went gold in the Latin music market and helped Gabriel win the Ritmo Latino Music Award for Female Pop Artist of the Year in 2000.
With the release of Eternamente in 2000 Gabriel returned to mariachi love ballads, using only guitar as accompaniment. That same year she also appeared with other Mexican music icons in an independence day television special called Viva Mexico, a celebration of Mexican music and history. In 2001 Gabriel released Huelo a Soledad, once again balancing the traditional sounds of Eternamente with sophisticated pop songs, a cappella numbers, and dance tracks.
In 2002 Gabriel's platinum-selling album Sagitario was released. In that same year she won the Billboard Latin Music Estrella Award in recognition of her contribution to the Latin music industry, performed at a tribute concert for Vicente Fernandez sponsored by the Latin Music Awards, and participated in the ninth annual Las Cruces International Mariachi Concert and Festival in New Mexico. In December of that year she was scheduled to perform at the eleventh annual Christmas Mariachi Festival in Phoenix, Arizona, but was denied a work visa and refused entry into the United States.
Gabriel is a devout Catholic, telling Luther Orrick-Guzman of QV Magazine, "I believe and have a lot of faith in God." She places a red rose and a white carnation onstage at each of her performances, telling Orrick-Guzman the flowers symbolize "communication between myself and God." Her performances are also noted for their power and the respect she has for all of her fans.

Ana Gabriel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que tu vida y mi vida se van a perder
Que yo soy un canalla y que tú eres decente
Que dos seres distintos no se pueden querer
Pero yo ya te quise y no te olvido
y vivir en tus brazos es mi ilusión
Yo no entiendo esa cosa de las clases sociales
Vámonos donde nadie nos juzgue
Donde nadie nos diga que hacemos mal
Vámonos, alejados del mundo,
Donde no haya justicia, ni leyes ni nada
Nomas nuestro amor
Vámonos donde nadie nos juzgue
Donde nadie nos diga que hacemos mal
Vámonos, alejados del mundo,
Donde no haya justicia ni leyes ni nada
Nomas nuestro amor
Que no somos iguales, dice la gente
The lyrics of Ana Gabriel's song 'Vámonos' talks about the society's perception of a relationship between two different individuals. People say that they are not the same and that their lives will be wasted on each other. The singer is portrayed as a bad person, while the other is touted as a decent person. However, despite all of these barriers, the singer has fallen for the significant other and has not forgotten them. Their only dream now is to be with each other and forget about the social classes that divide them. The society is trying to judge and hold them back, but they ignore all of it and decide to runaway to a place where no one is there to judge them. They would only have each other, with no laws or judgments standing in their way.
The song's lyrics are a testament to the conviction that love knows no bounds and that it is more powerful than any class differences or societal judgments. The singer's desire to break free and be with his lover, regardless of their status, shows that love should not be restricted to any factors. The artist's powerful interpretation of the lyrics adds more emotion to the song, and one can feel the singer's angst and pain.

Hoy tengo ganas de escribir la historia de nuestro amor la escribiré con besos de amor en la piel de tu corazón, comenzaré deletreando en cada poro de tu piel las silabas de esos tiernos y apasionados besos, te espero donde el mar se lleva parte de la tierra pero jamás podra llevarse este amor tan grande e inmenso que por ti siento yo tierno como tus besos salvaje como mi pasión. Voy amarte con mis letras que solo hablan de ti porque solo tu eres quién las inspira, no se cual sea tu magia pero cada vez que me miras prendes mi universo en llamas. Solo tu eres capaz de escribir en mi alma lo que dejas en mi piel😘😍♥️🌙🎶🎵🎤🇪🇸

Mi luna de amor y sangre como no darte mi amor si ya te di mi vida, cómo callar tu nombre si me lo dicta mi corazón, cómo no saciar mi sed si eres el agua que aviva el mar de mis pasiones..y libra mis emociones.. Eres tú el más bello poema de amor que leo a diario y jamás podre dejar de leer con todas mis ganas y mi pasión...... la vida me regalo un instante a tu lado y mi corazón decidió que ese instante fuera eterno. 💍❤️
@alcirap.v8676
Mi luna de amor y sangre dibujare la ternura de mis caricias en el alma de tu corazón porque ahí se grabo el aroma de este amor que te busco toda la vida y al encontrarte te he hecho mi poesía ideal, los mensajes que te envío a diario no solo llevan palabras, también trozos de mi corazón.💍♥️
