OUR SYMBOLS
INSTITUTO ESCUELA ANTHEM
Chorus
Bajo el copo de bruma avileña
que resiste la fuerza del sol,
Alza el techo del Instituto Escuela
que es mensaje de luz y amor.
I
Cuando el cielo se tiñe de aurora
se congrega la joven legión,
y al cenizo fulgor de la tarde
son ya surcos de buena lección.
II
Con las notas del himno querido
vibra en todo patriota emoción
Y los hijos de extraños países
sienten fuego de patria y amor.
III
Un sólo es el haz juvenil
una sola es la idea genial,
Parecernos al Ávila fuerte
de Bolívar el gran pedestal.

INSTITUTO ESCUELA ANTHEM
Chorus
Under the veil of Avila’s mist,
Which holds under the strength of the sun,
Here it is Instituto Escuela,
As a message of light and love.
When the sky is turning to orange,
The young legion is getting together.
As soon as it’s getting gray,
They are leaving with life lessons learned,
They are leaving with life lessons learned.
