This is the set up for the song:
It is night, and a young girl hear someone playing a guitar in the house next door. It really captivates her. She peers through the window, and sees a young 'handsome' man as he sings the follwing song, which incidently is the poem that she wrote and misplaces, that he get a hold of and puts to music...
Ilaya nila Pozhigiradhae
Ithayam varai nenaigirathae
Ulaa poagum maegham kanaa kaanumae
Vizha kaanumae, vaaname (2)
The moon is shining
The heart is ??
While the clouds are moving, ?? is missing
?? is missing, oh sky
Ilaya nila Pozhigiradhae
Ithayam varai nenaigirathae
(1st Interlude)
Varum vazhiyil pani mazhayil
Paruva nilaa thinam nenayum
Mugil eduthu mugham thudaithu
vidiyum varai nadai pazhagum (2)
On my way back, while it was snowing
Everyday the new moon ??
I take a ??, and wipe my face
And walk it the sun rises (?)
Vaanaveethiyil maegha oorvalam
Kaanum poathilae aaruthal tharum
In the sky, the clouds ??
When you're lost, they give you re-assurance
Paruvamagal vizhigalilae kanavu varum
??? you get a dream
Ilaya nila Pozhigiradhae...
(2nd Interlude)
Mughil inangal alaihirathae
Mughavarigal thulaindhanavo
Mugavarigal thavariyathaal
Azhuthidumo, athu mazhazho
The roaming clouds roam around,
Have they lost their address,
And so, do they shower tears of rain,
Calling for a redress ?
Neela vaanilae Velli odaygal
Poadugindrathae enna jaadaigal
In the blue sky, silver ??
What shapes they make
Vinveliyil vithaithathu yaar navamanigal
???
Ilaya nila Pozhigiradhae...
(3rd Interlude)
