Lin-Manuel Miranda
We Don’t Talk About Bruno [Encanto]
[Opening, Mirabel & Félix]
(Mirabel, spoken) What if you didn’t understand what he saw?

(Félix, spoken) Then you'd better figure it out, because it was coming for you!

[Chorus, Pepa]
We don't talk about Bruno, no, no, no
We don't talk about Bruno
...But!

[Verse 1, Pepa & Félix]
It was my wedding day

(Félix) It was our wedding day

(Pepa) We were getting ready and
There wasn't a cloud in the sky

(Félix) No clouds allowed, in the sky

(Pepa) Bruno walks in
With a mischievous grin-

(Félix) Thunder!

(Pepa) Are you telling this story?
Or am I?
(Félix) I'm sorry, mi vida, go on!

(Pepa) Bruno says it looks like rain

(Félix) Why did he tell her?

(Pepa) And doing so he floods my brain

(Félix) Abuela get the umbrеlla-a-a!

(Pepa) Married in a hurricane

(Félix) What a joyous day
But anyway

(Pеpa + Félix) We don’t talk about Bruno, no, no, no
We don’t talk about Bruno

[Verse 2, Dolores, Camilo]
(Dolores) Hey!
Grew to live in fear of Bruno stuttering or stumbling
I can always hear him sorta muttering and mumbling
I associate him with the sound of fallen sand
(Shh, shh, shh,)
It’s a heavy lift, with a gift so humbling
Always left Abuela and the family fumbling
Grappling with prophecies they couldn’t understand
Do you understand?
(Camilo) 7-foot-frame
Rats along his back
When he calls your name
It all fades to black
Yeah, he sees your dreams
Feasts on your screams
(Ay!)

[Chorus, Pepa, Félix, Dolores & Camilo]
(All) We don’t talk about Bruno, no
(Dolores) No, no!
(All) We don’t talk about Bruno!

[Verse 3, townsfolk/ensemble]
(Person 1) He told me my fish would die, the next day- Dead!

(No, no!)

(Person 2) He told me I'd grow a gut, and just like he said

(No, no!)

(Person 3) He said that
All my hair would disappear
Now look at my head
(Ay, no! No!)

(Ensemble) Your fate is sealed
When your prophecy is read!

[Bridge, Isabella, Abuela, Dolores, Mirabel & Camilo]
(Isabella) He told me
That the life of my dreams
Would be promised and some day be mine
He told me
That my power would grow
Like the grapes that thrive on the vine

(Abuela) Óye, Mariano is on his way

(Dolores) He told me
That the man of my dreams
Would be just out of reach
Betrothed to another
It’s like I hear him…

(Isabella) Hey sis

(Dolores) It’s like I hear him now

(Isabella) I want not a sound out of you

(Dolores) I can hear him now!


(Mirabel) Uhm, Bruno
Yeah about that, Bruno
I really need to know about Bruno
Give me the truth and the whole truth Bruno!

(Camilo)
Isabella, your boyfriend’s here, haha!

(Abuela, Isabella) Time for dinner

[Climax, Pepa, Félix, Dolores, Camilo, Isabella & Abuela, all singing at once]
(Pepa) It was my wedding day
We were getting ready and
There wasn’t a cloud in the sky
Bruno walks in
With a mischievous grin-
Are you telling this story?
Or am I?
Bruno says it looks like rain
And doing so he floods my brain
Married in a hurricane

(Félix)
It was our wedding day
No clouds allowed, in the sky
Thunder!
I’m sorry, mi vida, go on!
Why did he tell her?
Abuela get the umbrella-a-a!
What a joyous day
But anyway

(Dolores)
Grew to live in fear of Bruno stuttering or stumbling
I can always hear him sorta muttering and mumbling
I associate him with the sound of fallen sand
It’s a heavy lift, with a gift so humbling
Always left Abuela and the family fumbling
Grappling with prophecies they couldn’t understand
He told me
That the man of my dreams
Would be just out of reach
Betrothed to another
Another!

(Camilo) 7-foot-frame
Rats along his back
When he calls your name
It all fades to black
Yeah, he sees your dreams
Feasts on your screams
7-foot-frame
Rats along his back
When he calls your name
It all fades to black
Yeah, he sees your dreams
Feasts on your screams

(Isabella) He told me
That the life of my dreams
Would be promised and some day be mine
He told me
That my power would grow
Like the grapes that thrive on the vine
He told me
That the life of my dreams
Would be promised and some day be mine
I'm fine!
I'm fine!
I'm fine!
I'm fine!

(Abuela) Óye, Mariano is on his way

(Final chorus, everyone)
(Camilo) He's here!

(Family + Ensemble) We don’t talk about Bruno!

(Mirabel) Why did I talk about Bruno?

(Family + Ensemble) Not a word about Bruno!

(Mirabel) Never should’a brought up Bruno!
