"पालने मे झूले गजानन" is a beautiful bhajan sung in the bold voice of our dear Gavra Devi and is devoted to Lord Ganesha. She is a popular folk singer from Bikaner, evidently well-loved by her audiences who call her "Bhuaji."
Every little peculiarity of Lord Ganesha’s has a deep spiritual significance. This bhajan lovingly adores Lord Ganpati as he swings in the cradle. Since this cradle is lucky enough to hold the divinity, it is no less special! It is carved out of the scented sandalwood and a soft velvety thread is attached to it.
The bhajan signifies that only the name of Lord Ganpati is enough to keep the demons away. The devotees are advised to put a Tilak of Rice and sandalwood on the lord's forehead and present Lord Ganesha with delicacies including the finest Laddus and Pedas.
This bhajan beautifully concludes with the note that blessed are those who venerate Padamani, the one who sits on the lotus and the heart of the devotee is at the feet of his divine stature, who blesses everyone with peace and prosperity.

Translation:
O my Shyam!
You, the destroyer of problems and the good doer
Light my mind with wisdom
Taking the name of the lord of clan
Will eradicate the evil
I please you, O Sarswati
Since gave me a preaching
Eight guard times and twenty-four hours
In my heart, you live always
Mother Saraswati, you be elder
Open the curtains of this earthen vessel
Forgive me, thinking of me as a child
I be an innocent boy
I be an innocent boy
I came in the shade of your feet
O mother, keep my respect
Ganraaj swings in the cradle
Yes, he swings in the cradle
What made the cradle?
What made the strings of cradle?
O Gajaanan!
Sandalwood made the cradle
Silk made its strings
Who swings the cradle?
Who flowers in the heart?
Mother Gavarja swings the cradle
Shankar flowers in the heart
The one who sits on the lotus, I bow your feet
My consciousness swings at your feet
