My motherland (Моя родина)

My motherland is a country in the heart of Europe. It is so near to your country, Natalie! If you go by plane, it is only about three hours. Yet it is so far if you go by land and by sea that I feel I must tell you about it.

Моя родина — страна в самом сердце Европы. Она так близко к твоей стране, Натали! Если лететь на самолёте, дорога занимает всего около трёх часов. Но по суше и морю она так далеко, что я чувствую: мне нужно рассказать тебе о ней.
