You have opened a Cygwin command line interface.

The Cygwin Lilypond installation should (as far as I know) let
you click on your source and then it will translate it.

So with your favourite program-editor (worst case: wordpad) create
a file called "mytune-number-one.ly" or something ending on .ly

containing e.g.

   
<<
{
   c'   c' g' g'   a' a' g'2
   f'4  f' e' e'   d' d' c'2
   \bar "|."
}

\addlyrics { do do sol sol la la sol
             fa fa mi mi re re do
}

>>


and click on it from the MS-filebrowser.

I am not sure I should help you like this, because I do not use
Lilypond on Microsoft and therefore I actually just tell you what
I would try first.

However, try this - and return if you still are in doubt. 
There should be better editors than wordpad.
