spit it out
I guess this is what they mean by "desunha-te" in this context, although this is not the common meaning of the verb "desunhar". At least, not that I know of.

C'mon, tell!
This is a less vulgar way to say it. It depends on your context and the register being used by the speakers.
"Tell!" is the equivalent of 'Spit it out!' only less vulgar.

Discussion
A frase seria algo como: "'vá lá, (diz-nos) depressa, conta à malta o que é que foi...'
Pegando na sugestão da Catarina, eu talvez apenas acrescentasse o "depressa", nomeadamente porque não existe outro elemento no resto da frase que dê o sentido de "depressa".
Ex: "but I'm not leaving until you tell me what's happened, so spit it out quickly": https://books.google.pt/books?id=XI5q9hYpY2MC&pg=PT199&lpg=P...
