We Don't Talk About Bruno is a song that is featured in Disney's 2021 animated feature film, Encanto. It is sung by Pepa and Félix and their children Dolores and Camilo as they warn Mirabel not to mention her uncle Bruno, who has the gift of telling prophecy. Some of the other family members and some villagers also sing about what happened when Bruno's predictions came true during the song.

Pepa | We don't talk about Bruno, no, no, no! |
Pepa | We don't talk about Bruno, but |
Pepa | It was my wedding day |

Pepa | And there wasn't a cloud in the sky |
Félix | No clouds allowed in the sky |
Pepa | Bruno walks in |
Pepa | With a mischievous grin |
Félix | Thunder! |
Pepa | 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 us? |
Pepa | In doing so, he floods my brain |
Félix | Abuela, get the umbrellas |

Félix | But anyway |
Both | We don't talk about Bruno, no, no, no! |
Both | We don't talk about Bruno |
Dolores | Hey! |
Dolores | Grew to live in fear of Bruno stuttering or stumbling |
Dolores | I can always hear him sort of muttering and mumbling |
Dolores | I associate him with the sound of falling sand |
Dolores | Ch, ch, ch |
