We Don't Talk About Bruno

Music: Music and lyrics written by Lin-Manuel Miranda We don't talk about Bruno, no, no, no We don't talk about Bruno, but It was my wedding day It was our wedding day We were getting ready And there wasn't a cloud in the sky No clouds allowed in the sky Bruno walks in with a mischievous grin (Thunder) You're telling the story or am I? I'm sorry, mi vida, go on Bruno says, "It looks like rain" Why did he tell us? In doing so, he floods my brain Abuela get the umbrellas Married in a hurricane What a joyous day but anyway We don't talk about Bruno, no, no, no We don't talk about Bruno Grew to live in fear of Bruno stuttering or stumbling I can always hear him sort of muttering and mumbling I associate him with the sound of falling 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 Do you understand? Seven-foot frame, rats along his back When he calls your name it all fades to black Yeah, he sees your dreams and feasts on your screams (Hey) We don't talk about Bruno, no, no, no (No, no) We don't talk about Bruno He told me my fish would die, the next day, dead No, no He told me I'd grow a gut and just like he said (No no) He said that all my hair would disappear, now, look at my head Hey! (No, no) Your fate is sealed when your prophecy is read He told me that the life of my dreams Would be promised, and someday be mine He told me that my power would grow Like the grapes that thrive on the vine Óye, Mariano's on his way He told me that the man of my dreams Would be just out of reach Betrothed to another It's like I hear him, (Hey sis) now I want not a sound out of you I can hear him now Um, Bruno Yeah, about that Bruno I really need to know about Bruno Give me the truth and the whole truth, Bruno Isabela, your boyfriend's here Time for dinner He told me that the life of my dream would be promised (A seven-foot frame, rats along his back)(It was my wedding day, it was our wedding day) and someday be mine (When he calls your name)(And there wasn't a cloud in the sky) No clouds allowed (It all fades to black) He told me that my power would grow (He sees your dreams and feasts on your screams) Like the grapes that thrive on the vine (You telling this story or am I?) I'm fine (Óye, Mariano's on his way) A seven-foot frame, rats along(the umbrellas) (He told me that the life of my dreams)(Bruno says, "It looks like rain") When he calls your name it all fades to black (Would be promised and someday be mine)(Betrothed to another, another)(Abuela get the umbrellas) He sees your dreams and feasts on your screams (Married in a hurricane)(And I'm fine, and I'm fine, and I'm fine, I'm fine) We don't talk about Bruno, no Why did I talk about Bruno, no Not a word about Bruno I never shoulda brought up Bruno
