Definitions:

(1) (lament)
to express grief or regret
(2) (meaning too rare to warrant focus)
Although lament typically refers to a feeling or simple vocal expression, it can refer to a vocal expression as complex as a sad song or poem. It can even refer to sad, but non-vocal music -- as when Tennessee Williams references background music in A Streetcar Named Desire.
