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 will 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 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 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 Que Sera, Sera!"
