Do you mean this song? Oh Tannenbaum, oh Tannenbaum, wie grün sind deine Blätter! Du grünst nicht nur zur Sommerszeit, nein auch im Winter, wenn es schneit Oh Tannenbaum, oh Tannenbaum, wie grün sind deine Blätter! Oh Tannenbaum, oh Tannenbaum, du kannst mir sehr gefallen! Wie oft hat nicht zur Weihnachtszeit, ein Baum von dir mich hoch erfreut. Oh Tannenbaum, oh Tannenbaum, du kannst mir sehr gefallen! Oh Tannenbaum, oh Tannenbaum, dein Kleid will mich was lehren: Die Hoffnung und Beständigkeit gibt Trost und Kraft zu jeder Zeit. Oh Tannenbaum, oh Tannenbaum, dein Kleid will mich was lehren.

The melody of a song is a specific part of the song. Often in a song with many instruments the melody is the leading string of notes that one would pick out and hum or whistle. The same song may also have a bass line that the bass instruments would play. Together these parts together could be described as the tune although sometimes it is used as a synonym for melody. Tune is a less technical term than melody.
A song in which each poetic stanza is sung to the same melody is called a strophic song. This form allows for the same music to be repeated for each stanza, providing a structured and cohesive musical setting for the lyrics.
