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.
When I was just a child in school,
I asked my teacher, 'What shall 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?'
Here's 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.
