Pepa We don't talk about Bruno, no, no, no!
Pepa We don't talk about Bruno, but
Pepa It was my wedding day
Félix It was our wedding day
Pepa We were getting ready
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
Pepa Married in a hurricane
Félix What a joyous day
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

Dolores Always left Abuela and the family fumbling
Dolores Grappling with prophecies they couldn't understand
Dolores Do you understand?
