Sometimes the words spoken

They are poisonous and cursed

And you vent all your anger

You are like a hawk locked in a cage

Your refuge is your room

And then you reject and deny the evidence

Of a sick love

Of a wounded love between us

Two headlights off in the night

And I fight with pride

I see you there in his arms

The same grimaces, the same face

And in the silence I die inside

I'm losing you and my torment is rising

Of a betrayed love, of a defeated love

We have lost ourselves many times in stupid lies, you and me

We loved and hated each other out of absurd jealousies

Among a thousand doubts but without a reason

How happy we were and how good we felt, always together

And our dreams in vain hand in hand

But who are you with now?

Where are you?

I'm trying to make sense of it

But what sense if I think about it then

That I never gave you enough

And instead you gave me your existence

But that's enough, I'll move on

But how hard it is to walk with tired steps

Of a wasted love of an exhausted love

We forgave each other, excited in a warm bed, you and me

I have written many times inside a thousand red roses

You are my life and you are part of me

How happy we were and how good we felt, always together

And our dreams in vain hand in hand

But you're not here now

We have lost ourselves many times in stupid lies, you and me

We loved and hated each other out of absurd jealousies

Among a thousand doubts but without a reason

How happy we were and how good we felt, always together

And our dreams in vain hand in hand

But you're not here now

Sometimes the words spoken

They are poisonous and cursed

tormento — torment / anguish

Tormento translates to "torment" or "anguish". It's a strong, evocative word that immediately conveys deep emotional suffering.

In the song, Toto Cutugno uses it to express the intense pain and distress he feels as he realizes he's losing his love. He sings, "Ti sto perdendo e sale il mio tormento" (I'm losing you and my torment rises), highlighting the escalating emotional agony he experiences. This word captures the raw, dramatic essence of the song's theme of a love in crisis.

Toto Cutugno's "Un Falco Chiuso In Gabbia" [A Falcon Locked in a Cage] is a really emotional song about a relationship that's falling apart. The singer feels trapped and angry, like a "falco chiuso in gabbia" [falcon locked in a cage], because of "parole dette / Son velenose e maledette" [words said / Are poisonous and cursed]. He's struggling with the reality of a "amore malato / Di un amore ferito fra di noi" [sick love / Of a wounded love between us], even though he tries to deny it.

He sees his love with someone else, feeling the pain of a "amore tradito, di un amore sconfitto" [betrayed love, of a defeated love]. The song looks back at happier times, remembering how they were "felici e come si stava bene, sempre insieme" [happy and how good it was, always together], and all their dreams. Despite the heartbreak, he's trying to move on, even though it's hard, like taking "passi stanchi" [tired steps] from a "amore sprecato di un amore sfinito" [wasted love of an exhausted love]. It's a powerful story of love, loss, and the struggle to let go.
