Melodie d'amour,
Take this song to my lover;
Shoo shoo little bird,
Go and find my love.

Melodie d'amour,
Serenade at her window;
Shoo shoo little bird,
Sing my song of love.

Oh tell her I will wait (I will wait)
If she names the date! (names the date)
Tell her that I care (how I care)
More than I can bear. (i can bear)

For when we are apart,
How it hurts my heaert!
So fly, oh fly away,
And say that I hope and pray
This lovers' melody
Will bring her back to me.

Melodie d'amour,
Take this song to my lover;
Shoo shoo little bird,
Go and find my love.

Melodie d'amour,
Serenade at her window;
Shoo shoo little bird,
Tell her of my love.

Oh tell her how I yearn, (how I yearn)
Long for her return, (her return)
Sai I miss her so, (miss her so)
More than she could know! (she could know)

For when we are apart,
How it hurts my heaert!
So fly, oh fly away,
And say that I hope and pray
This lovers' melody
Will bring her back to me.

Melodie d'amour,
Serenade at her window;
Shoo shoo little bird,
Tell her of my love.
