The main melody is easy to understand by ear.
The other melody seems very difficult to understand by ear perhaps because it may be so simple.
If 2 voices are moving in parallel the result may sound trivial.
On this song (so far the first few bars are examined) the 2nd melody keeps a steDy nite for a long time. A pedal bass. This creates the fantastic combination when the main melody is added as all sorts of different interesting musical intervals are created.
So we have again the principle of least change in misc doing its miracle.
The song is writen in D sharp minor. A very difficult musical scale where most notes are played by black keys. All F, C, G, D, A, E are sharp. So it is #D #E #F #G #A B #C #D.
Main higher melody is:
d d f f a a g
c c c e e g g f
But the other voice is...
