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 sera sera

Whatever will be, will be

The future's not ours to see

Que sera sera

What will be, will be



Since I am just a boy in school,

I asked my teacher: "What should I try?

Should I paint pictures? Should I sing songs?"

This was her 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 lover: "What lies ahead?

Will we have rainbows day after day?"

Guess what my lover said:



Que sera sera

Whatever will be, will be

The future's not ours to see

Que sera sera

What will be, will be



Now I have children of my own

They ask their mother: "What will I be?"

"Will I be pretty?" "Will I be rich?"

I tell them tenderly:



Que sera sera

Whatever will be, will be

The future's not ours to see

Que sera sera

What will be, will be
