En: The Karpat's'ki hory (Carpathian Mountains) have always drawn attention with their mystery and beauty. Uk: Літо обгорнуло їх зеленими шовковистими травами і різнокольоровими польовими квітами. En: Lito (Summer) wrapped them in green silky grasses and multicolored wildflowers. Uk: У повітрі лунала мелодія вітру, що шурхотіла серед листя старих дерев. En: The air was filled with the melody of the wind rustling among the leaves of old trees. Uk: День Незалежності України надихає людей на пошуки чогось важливого, чогось, що нагадує їм про їхнє коріння.
