Lesson.

얼음들이 녹아지면

얼음 means ice. -들 is added to this word to put emphasis on there being multiple. Then, 이 is added as the subject marker, so we know that the ice is the one doing the verb - 녹다 [to melt]. However, added to 녹다 is the grammar structure (present tense)지다 which means for something to become VERB [녹다 - 다 + 아지다]. So, 얼음들이 녹아지다 means for the ice to BECOME melted. There's another grammar structure added to the verb stem of 녹아지, -면. -면 means IF verb. So, if the ice becomes melted...

조금 더 따뜻한 노래가 나올텐데

조금 means a little, and 더 means more, so naturally 조금 더 together means a little more. 따뜻한 is the descriptive form of the verb 따뜻하다 which means to be warm. 따뜻한 is describing the noun that comes after - 노래 [song]. Attached to 노래 is the subject marker, which means the song is the one doing the verb - 나오다 to come out/emerge. Then, attached to the verb stem 나오 is the grammar structure -을텐데 which is used to express assumption (similar meanings as must, or would've). So, this sentence can be translated to: maybe (i'm sure that...) a song that is a little more warm will (would've) emerge.

얼음들은 왜 그렇게 차가울까

Attached to 얼음들 [ice, plural] is the topic marker 은, assuring us that we are now talking about this ice. 왜 means why and 그렇게 means like that (derived from the verb form 그렇다 to be like that). 차갑다 means to be chilly or cold, but the grammar structure 을까 is added, which expresses wonder about something. So, why is the ice so cold (like that)?? // I wonder why the ice is so cold (like that).

차가울까요

Again, asking why it's so cold - the 요 is added to increase the formality of the sentence~ They are changing it to be polite!

Why are they so cold~
Why are they so cold~
