A special gift for Варвара
Варвара
Bouncing on grandfather's knee
На дедушкином колене

Bright and bouncy, with a beat to move to.
Free to keep

The story behind this song
She bounces happily on grandfather's knee, squealing louder with every little dip and rise.
Why this moment matters
A grandparent's knee has been bouncing babies for about as long as knees and babies have coexisted, and it still works every time.
