Hi, I\u2019m an American man in his 30s. My grandfather was Lithuanian and came to the U.S. during WW2. When I was very young (2-3 years old), he used to bounce me on his knee and sing a rhyme that I can\u2019t seem to find on the internet.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t speak Lithuanian at all, but it sounded like \u201cpallow kally yo yo, lowka is today oh\u201d and then he\u2019d say something else and lift me in the air and then bring me back down. It was short (maybe 4-5 verses\/sentences) and it rhymed. Pardon my ignorance, I\u2019m just trying to learn.<\/p>\n

Edit: it has been solved. The song my grandpa used to sing was a portion of this song<\/a> starting around the 48 second mark. Actual lyrics are "Per laukel\u012f jojau, Laukelis dund\u0117jo" according to u\/innthewoods<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
