Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take this song to my lover
Shoo, shoo little bird
Go and find my love
Mélodie d'amour
Serenade at his window
Shoo, shoo little bird
Sing my song of love
Tell him I will wait
If he marries the date
Tell him that I care
More than I can't bear
When we are apart
How it hurts my heart
So fly
Oh, fly away
And say I hope and pray
This lover's melody
Will bring him back to me
Mélodie d'amour
Take this song to my lover
Shoo, shoo little bird
Go and find my love
Mélodie d'amour
Serenade at his window
Shoo, shoo little bird
Tell him of my love
Tell him I will wait
If he marries the date
Tell him that I care
More than I can't bear
When we are apart
How it hurts my heart
So fly
Oh, fly away
And say I hope and pray
This lover's melody
Will bring him back to me
Mélodie d'amour
Take this song to my lover
Shoo, shoo little bird
Go and find my love
Mélodie d'amour
Serenade at his window
Shoo, shoo little bird
Sing my song
Please sing my song
And tell him of my love.
