when susanna cry

The phrase "when Susanna cries" refers to a 1997 song by Norwegian singer Espen Lind titled "When Susannah Cries." The song is a slow, piano-driven ballad featuring strings from the Oslo Philharmonic, and it was a major hit in several countries, including Norway. The lyrics describe Susannah crying for many reasons—love, sadness, and even sometimes for the singer himself. The song portrays the emotional moments when Susannah cries, such as crying a rainstorm, a river, a hole in the ground, and a sad song. The song became Espen Lind's commercial breakthrough and won a Norwegian Grammy Award for Song of the Year in 1997.
