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 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 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 handsome, Will I be rich?"
I tell then tenderly
"Que sera, sera, whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que sera, sera, what will be, will be
Que sera, sera !"
