Adele es muestra de que no todo lo bueno que -musicalmente hablando- nos llega del Reino Unido es pop. Esta londinense de voz envolvente e hipnótica, comenzó a dar que hablar en 2008 y en 2010 alcanzó fama y reconocimiento mundial, y todo ello con sólo dos álbumes en el mercado -'19' y '21'-.
Su vida tiene algo de cuento de Dickens o relato de Brönte, habiendo nacido en un barrio bajo de Londres y sufriendo el abandono de un padre que, al llegar el éxito a su hija, decide vender los relatos de su niñez; pero todo eso es historia y pasado, y Adele -que ha sido madre hace poco más de un año- tiene toda una vida por delante para cantarla como cantó este Turning Tables -incluido en su segundo álbum '21'- en vivo y en directo en el Royal Albert Hall de Londres...
Close enough to start a war
All that I have is on the floor
God only knows what we're fighting for
All that I say, you always say more
I can't keep up with your turning tables
Under your thumb, I can't breathe
So I won't let you close enough to hurt me
No, I won't ask you, you to just desert me
I can't give you what you think you gave me
It's time to say goodbye to turning tables, to turning tables
Under haunted skies I see
Where love is lost, your ghost is found
I've braved a hundred storms to leave you
As hard as you try, no, I will never be knocked down
I can't keep up with your turning tables
Under your thumb, I can't breathe
So I won't let you close enough to hurt me, no
I won't ask you, you to just desert me
I can't give you what you think you gave me
It's time to say goodbye to turning tables, turning tables
Next time I'll be braver, I'll be my own savior
When the thumb that cost me
Next time I'll be braver, I'll be my own savior
Standing on my own two feet
I won't let you close enough to hurt me, no
I won't ask you, you to just desert me
I can't give you what you think you gave me
It's time to say goodbye to turning tables, to turning tables
Turning tables, yeah, turning
