லேசாய் லேசாய் கண் பாரைய்யா

Gently, gently, look at me with your eyes.
Are you not the lord spoken of in the scriptures?
புறம் நோக்கி அகம் காக்கும் மாயக்காரா

குயிக்காய் கொடு
Before the computer came,
Playing with a mouse,
You are that scientist, my friend!
Saying mother and father are the whole world,
Going around them, you are that Einstein!

I don't need the best mark,
Just passing is enough.
Without taking any rest,
Hey, for my sake, will you do a little bit of
Hard work?

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song is a humorous and playful prayer addressed to Lord Ganesha by a student dreading exams. Instead of asking for top scores or genius-level intellect, the singer humorously pleads for just enough marks to pass and move forward from the last bench. The lyricist cleverly blends traditional devotional praises with modern student slang and tech references, comparing Lord Ganesha's traditional mouse mount (Mooshika) to a computer mouse and his circumambulation of his parents to Einstein's brilliance.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Adukku Thodar (Repetition)
“Lesaai lesaai kannpaaraiyaa”
The word 'Lesaai' is repeated consecutively to emphasize the gentle plea of the devotee.
Iyaibu (End Rhyme)
“Kanampookki karam korkkum paasakaara”
Lines end with the rhyming suffix '-kaara' (Maayakaara, paasakaara, kaavalkkaara, nesakaara) creating a rhythmic cadence.
Contrast / Antonymy (Puram vs Agam)
“Puram nookki agam kaakkum”
Juxtaposition of 'Puram' (outward/external) and 'Agam' (inward/soul) to denote total divine protection.
Mythological Pun / Modern Allusion
“Computer varum munnae / Mouse-ai vaithu”
A humorous wordplay connecting Lord Ganesha riding his mouse (Mooshika) to operating a computer mouse before computers were invented.
