Want to cry?

Indulge yourself in watching this video of opera diva Jessye Norman performing the aria "Mon coeur s'ouvre a ta voix" from Saint-Saëns's Samson et Delila at Avery Fisher Hall in 1994. In this aria, Delilah attempts to seduce Samson.

I don't understand, then, why she sings a song so beautiful that it would bring him to tears...
