2. "gajawadana beduwe" by K.J. Yesudas
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRzJwhnpKAM
"gajawadana" conjugates the words gaja (गज elephant) and wadana (वदन face) to simply mean "elephant face".
"beduwe" (ಬೇಡುವೆ) is a Kannada word to mean "I plead."
Together, "gajawadana beduwe" means "I plead/appeal to the one with elephant face".

To end, here are Carnatic renderings of two popular songs on Ganesha:
1. "lambodara lakumikara" by S. Janaki
(the first song a student of Carnatic music learns)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqZQdryENoo
"lambodara" combines lamba (लम्ब) and udara (उदर) to mean "large belly".
"lakumikara" conjugates "lakumi" a Kannada aberration of Sanskrit "lakshmi" (लक्ष्मी wealth in this context) and "kara" (कर creator).
