cry me a river
나를 향해 울어서 강을 만들어 줘봐라
즉, 나를 향해 엄청나게 많이 울어보아라. 내가 눈하나 까딱하는지
결국 니가 암만 울어 울어제끼고(불평해봐야, 부탁해봐야, 울고짜고 해봐야) 소용 없다.
나는 이제 니가 아무리 울어도 더이상 신경 안쓴다는 뜻이다.
■ cry me a river!

It's something you say (with disdain) about usually futile complaints someone makes.
A : Oh, I broke my nail! And I just had them done, too.
B : Yeah, yeah, cry me a river...
A : Someone made a scratch on my brand new Ferrari!!
B : Cry me a river. you idiot. I don't even have a car!

(in addition to yota's explaination) it pretty much means 'I don't care'
I don't care that you're upset
■ cry me a river = crying a lot for that individual to me.
Can you give me a few examples please?
"when I broke up with her she cried me a river"
"when his dog died he cried it a river"

it's actually a phrase meaning "suck it up" or "deal with it", showing that you think the person is overreacting. Like if a friend of you comes to you and says "I broke my pen.." and you find the problem to be trivial, you would tell him/her, "cry me a river"
it's usually a bit of a rude phrase though, so I wouldn't use it to a stranger
