Que Sera, Sera

When I was just a little girl,

I asked my mother, “What will I be?”

“Will I be pretty, will I be rich?”

Here’s what she said to me:

Que será, será,

Whatever will be, will be,

The future’s not ours to see,

Que será, será,

What will be, will be...

When I was just a child in school,

I asked my teachers "What should I try?

Should I paint pictures, should I sing songs?"

Here was their wise reply:

Que sera, sera,

Whatever will be, will be,

The future’s not ours to see,

Que sera, sera,

What will be, will be...

When I grew up and fell in love,

I asked my sweetheart what lies ahead:

“Will we have rainbows, day after day?”

Here’s what my sweetheart said:

Que será, será,

Whatever will be, will be,

The future’s not ours to see,

Que será, será,

What will be, will be...

Now, I have children of my own,

They ask their mother, “What will I be?”

“Will I be handsome, will I be rich?”

I tell them tenderly:

 Que será, será,

Whatever will be, will be,

The future’s not ours to see,

Que será, será...

Que será, será,

Whatever will be, will be,

The future’s not ours to see,

Que será, será,

What will be, will be,

What will be, will be...
