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 young, I fell in love
I asked my sweetheart what lies ahead
Will we have rainbows, day after day

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.
