For You, My Homeland — Per Ty, Atdhe
“Songs like the one entitled ‘For You, My Homeland,’ composed by Pjetër Gaci and interpreted by the People’s Artist Mentor Xhemali, will remain immortal in the treasury of our new art. This song is a hymn to our socialist Homeland, to our unconquerable people and Party. It was born at the difficult moments of the revisionist blockade and is permeated by a lofty revolutionary and optimistic spirit. If not every day, at least every two or three days, in moments of joy or difficulty, I like to listen to it on my tape recorder and it always moves me and inspires me to work…” — Enver Hoxha, On Literature and Art, 2nd. Eng. ed., NEPH, p. 155.
