Y dicen que sabes bordar,

The lyrics of Los Sabandeños's De La Esperanza A Taganana song contains a humorous verse that talks about the skill of sewing and embroidery. The singer alludes that the person being addressed knows how to sew and embroider, indicating that they're good with their hands. The humorous tone of the verse comes from the fact that the outcome of the sewing work wasn't what he anticipated; he got a pair of underpants that had the front and back sections swapped.
The tone of the song as a whole is celebratory and nostalgic. The song talks about the journey from the town of La Esperanza to the coastal town of Taganana in the Canary Islands. The journey, which used to take an entire day, is now much quicker, thanks to new roads and cars. But despite the shorter travel time, the song celebrates the memories and traditions that were associated with the old journey.
