A Melancholy Song

For some days I have been hearing them Though, I do not understand the meaning It goes straight to my heart, through the ears The tone, the voice and the chord all melancholy My heart understands the pain of the voice While my mind listens to the tunes The trees and the mountain keep still While the river makes the noise Could it be the loss of love or the life?
