If I would like to make the best compliment to the singer, it would be: he has his own style.
You hear him singing, and you do not even to know the song - it's Daniel Lavoie.

Album Gilles Vigneault – «Retrouvailles 2»

jl

Gilles Vigneault, a quebec poet, composer and performer, presents a new album with duets, «Retrouvailles» - 2. In 2 weeks he will be on stage, which took him about 50 years ago. At the age of 82 (he will be 83 soon) Gilles Vigneault is not slowing down. In September 15 he releases his 2d album with duets. These are the new duets he recorded with 14 quebec performers and also a live concert with pianist Daniel Thouin.
 This CD includes 6 songs about people, love songs, the ones we call songs about homeland, and also 3 new tracks. 14 duets with the great names of Quebec Song such as Paul Piché, Daniel Lavoie, Richard Séguin, Fred Pellerin, René Martel, Marc Hervieux, Clémence Desrochers and Daniel Boucher.
 Vigneault gave each performer his own song version, which seemed the most suitable for him. Claude Gauthier (Je n'ai pas fini de t'aimer), Claire Pelletier (La Manikoutai), Daniel Boucher, (Tit-Nor va comme un gant), Renée Martel (Ah! que l'hiver), Clémence (Tombée la nuit).
 From the very first song Paul Piché keeps us on the eve of the disc, and as if by accident, the magnificent voice of Daniel Lavoie appears, he performs: «Only one country left for me».Gilles Vigneault says: «Once Daniel told me, that when he left his village in Manitoba, there were 70% of residents who spoke French, and when he returned many years later, there were only 30%.» Lavoie, who says: «I have only one country to understand, I have only one country to change,» and it doesn`t seem insignificant.»

IL ME RESTE UN PAYS

Paroles: Gilles Vigneault, musique: Gilles Vigneault et Gaston Rochon

Il me reste un pays à te dire
 Il me reste un pays à nommer 

Il est au tréfonds de toi
 N'a ni président ni roi
 Il ressemble au pays même
 Que je cherche au coeur de moi
 Voilà le pays que j'aime 

Il me reste un pays à prédire
 Il me reste un pays à semer 

Vaste et beau comme la mer
 Avant d'être découvert
 Puis ne tient pas plus de place
 Qu'un brin d'herbe sous l'hiver
 Voilà mon Jeu et ma Chasse 

Il me reste un pays à connaître
 Il me reste un pays à donner

 C'est ce pont que je construis
 De ma nuit jusqu'à ta nuit
 Pour traverser la rivière
 Froide obscure de l'Ennui
 Voilà le pays à faire 

Il me reste un pays à poursuivre
 Il me reste un pays à dompter Homme!

Un jour tu sonneras
 Cloches de ce pays-là
 Sonnez femmes joies et cuivres
 C'est notre premier repas
 Voilà le pays à vivre I

l me reste un pays à te surprendre
 Il me reste un pays à manger
