To lament is to feel or express profound grief, usually about the loss of something or someone. Often done in a genuine but dramatic or exaggerated fashion. A lament can be a poem, song or dirge expessing grief or mourning for a deceased person, and by extension loud wailing or sobbing.
It may also refer to a high degree of regret over one's actions.
