"Gens du pays" has been called the unofficial national anthem of Quebec. Written by poet and singer-songwriter Gilles Vigneault, it was first performed by Vigneault on June 24, 1975 during a concert on Montreal's Mount Royal at that year's Fête nationale du Québec ceremony. It quickly became a folk classic, and it has been played frequently at Fête nationale ceremonies since then. The chorus is by far the most famous part of the song: Gens du pays, c'est votre tour / De vous laisser parler d'amour, which, translated, says, "Folks of the land, it is your turn to let yourselves speak of love."
"Mon pays" is a song composed by Quebec singer-songwriter Gilles Vigneault in 1964.
