Nila in Tamil means Moon
Vennila means Bright white moon
Vennilave Vennilave (O bright white moon)
Film: Minsara Kanavu
Music: A.R. Rahman
Lyrics: Vairamuthu
Singers; Hariharan, Sadhna Sargam
The Hindi version has been posted I think, the lyrics are an almost exact translation from the Tamil version.
vennilavae vennilavae vinnaiththaandi varuvaayaa
O bright white moon, o full moon, will you cross the skies and come to me
vilaiyaada jodi thaevai
I need a playmate
indha booloagaththil yaarum paarkkum munnae
before anyone on the Earth can spot you
unnai adhikaalai anuppi vaippoam (vennilavae)
we'll send you back to where you came from
Nila Kaigirathu (Tamil)
Film: Indira (1995)
Music: A.R. Rahman
Lyrics: Vairamuthu
Singer: Harini
Nila kaigirathu..neram theigirathu..yaarum rasikevilaiyea...
The Moon is shining, time is waning away, but no one is enjoying it.
Intha kangal matoom unnai kaanum..
Only these eyes see you.
Thendral pogindrathu..sollai sirikindrathu..yaarum suthika vilaiyea..
Cool breeze is drifting, the gardens are smiling, yet, no one enjoys it
chinna kaigal matoom unnai theendoom..
Only these tiny hands tease you.

Male version by Hariharan
O Vennila
Film: Kadhal Desam (1996)
Music: A.R. Rahman
Lyrics: Vaali
Singer: Unnikrishnan
O vennila... Iru vaanilaa?
Oh bright moon! Are you in two skies?
O nanbane... ariyamal naan
Oh friend! I don't know what to do
Kanne Kanne. Kaadhal seidhai
Oh eyes! You fell in love
Kadhal ennum poovai neidhai
Wove the blossoms of love
Nanban andha poovai koidhaan
My friend then plucked those blossoms
O nenje, nenje! Nee enn seivaai?
Oh my heart, What can you do?

Song: Ravi me (Marathi)
Play: Sangeet Maanapamaan
Artist: Asha Bhosle
Ravi means Sun. This is a classical song from a popular stage musical from the 60s and 70s.
Mānāpamāna was first performed in 1911. It is not "from the 60s and 70s."
Lyricist: Krishna Prabhakar Khadilkar
Music: Govind Tembe
Asha Bhosle never acted in this play; she only sang covers of some of the hero's songs that had been performed on stage by her father, Dinanath Mangeshkar.
In this song set to Rāga Tilaka Kāmoda, the hero Dhairyadhara jokingly tells his attendant Vanamālā (the heroine Bhāminī in disguise) that he is the sun (i.e. burning hot in battle), so what is he doing parading with the moon (a medal) on his headgear? He goes on to say that what (lustre) the moon cannot attain in the sky is found in her face.

A classical song from yester years; contemporary rendition here by Mahesh Kale.
He Surāṃno Candra Vhā, set to Rāga Cārukeśī, is from the musical play Yayāti Āṇi Devayānī (1966).
Lyricist: Kusumāgraja (Vishnu Vaman Shirvadkar)

Vennila Vennila Vennilave
Film: Iruvar (1997)
Music: A.R. Rahman
Lyrics: Vairamuthu
Singer: Asha Bhosle
Vennila vennila vennilave, vandhade mudhal kadhal
O moon, o bright full moon, here comes (my) first love

Aishwarya Rai's debut movie showcasing the rivalry between MGR and Karunanidhi. Aishwarya's character was supposedly modeled on Jayalalitha. ARR infuses this song with ebbs and flows that Jazz is known for and Asha Bhosle admirably takes the challenge and knocks it out of the park. Not an easy song to sing by far!
