Hymne du Quebec - national anthem of quebec

Pièce composée par le poète, compositeur-musicien Gilles Vigneault, en collaboration avec Gaston Rochon pour la musique. Emme est jouée fréquemment aux cérémonies de la Fête Nationale.

La chanson est également associée au Mouvement souverainiste du Québec et au parti souverainiste, le Parti québécois. Un bon exemple est celui du discours de concession de René Lévesque, après que les citoyens de la province aient rejetée l'indépendance du Québec lors du référendum de 1980 au Québec, où la foule énorme qui était rassemblée pour l'entendre parler a scandé à la fin du discours et uni dans le chant « Gens du pays » comme symbole de force et d'unité et pour montrer que, même s'ils avaient perdu le référendum, ils n'avaient pas perdu leur rêve d'un Québec indépendant.

Le temps qu'on a pris pour se dire je t'aime
C'est le seul qui reste au bout de nos jours
Les voeux que l'on fait les fleurs que l'on sème
Chacun les récolte en soi-même
Aux beaux jardin du temps qui court

Gens du pays c'est votre tour
De vous laisser parler d'amour
Gens du pays c'est votre tour
De vous laisser parler d'amour

Le temps de s'aimer, le jour de le dire
Fond comme la neige aux doigts du printemps
Fêtons de nos joies, fêtons de nos rires
Ces yeux où nos regards se mirent
C'est demain que j'avais vingt ans

Gens du pays c'est votre tour
De vous laisser parler d'amour
Gens du pays c'est votre tour
De vous laisser parler d'amour

Le ruisseau des jours aujourd'hui s'arrête
Et forme un étang ou chacun peut voir
Comme en un miroir l'amour qu'il reflète
Pour ces coeurs à qui je souhaite
Le temps de vivre leurs espoirs

Gens du pays c'est votre tour
De vous laisser parler d'amour
Gens du pays c'est votre tour
De vous laisser parler d'amour

JE SUIS QUÉBECOIS

[TheShadowParliament]

Quebec needs to be a country, not a damn 'Nation within a united Canada'. The whole thing is a conspiracy to keep Quebec as a part of Canada. I know a good friend from Quebec, she does not consider herself to be Canadian at all. Never, she tells me the only way Quebec can gain true freedom is through Canadian annexation by the United States of America.

Le Québec libre!

@Vineon well I live in Manitoba, the province formed by Louise Riel and can vouch for the very opposite of what you just said. French culture and pride is very evident here and most people can trace their routes back to the French/Metis or Ukrainians. There are many small towns within the province that only speak French and the vast majority of people here are bilingual. The largest festival in the province is Festival du Voyageur which happens every year in Winnipeg.

@killykash Never, I won't call her a second class citizen. Canada's fate is to be annexed into America, you would not be so high and mighty if you said something like this in real life instead of on a website. Hide behind the YouTube account, and reply like I imagine you will do. Or be someone up front and do more than just gripe, your in the wrong video category. This is Quebec freedom, if you want something for you then go to the loyalist page.

@conday1990

Before asking others to look into history, you might want to attempt not to sound like an ignorant yourself. That Canada prides itself in bilingualism and calls it of its major cultural difference with the US of A is a joke. Most Canadians aren't bilinguals. In fact, that is nearly the case of every English Canadian living outside Québec. English Canadians know nearly nothing of French culture and vice versa. There has never been much sharing, this united utopia never existed.

@killykash

I read a few of your comments and they reek ignorance and worse.. racism. You do not know anything about Québec starting with this comment making a relation between food banks and Québec culture and ending by a suggestion that the Québécois should drop their language....

What's really amazing is that you probably believe yourself representative of a collectivity, but your little hatred isn't representative of much. Thankfully, there aren't too many of your kind.

[Vineon]

Québec being a nation is a sociological fact. You don't spit on that because you feel there shouldn't be a 'nation within a nation'. You recognize the fact and you move on.

Besides, my take is Québec is easily more perceptible as a nation than English Canada ever was. Who in hell can tell Jim Carey, William Shatner or Pamela Anderson are Canadians without being told so. Nobody, that is. The one day a Frenchman confuses a Québécois with one of his own hasn't yet come.

@killykash

Wake up darling. It was voted and passed at your country's house of commons. Your majority of MPs voted in favour, the current PM Stephen Harper voted in favour.

It's in the books, Canada recognizes the 'Québécois' as a nation.

[climaxseries2011]

L'histoire du Québec est a beaucoup de fierté pour les Québécois.

[killykash]

@hyurgy321 You think so? I've been in Quebec now since 1991. I've never been on Quebec's welfare, nor have I ever had to resort to food banks, which is really part of Quebec Culture. Isn't that right? So shut the fuck up. If it wasn't for us Anglos, your useless sack of shit frenchies would have had to get the fuck out decades ago. Olé that!

[killykash]

@TheShadowParliament Your so-called good friend in Quebec is one of the bottom-feeders, then. Annexation? WTF? Tell your good friend, she's a Canadian. Always was, always will be. Learn English, drop the (poor) French, and suck it the fuck up.

[killykash]

@Vineon No, it is NOT recognized as a nation. This is a self-recognition, not agreed or accepted by the rest of the country.
