Whatever will be will bewhen 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 them, wait and see

que sera sera

whatever will be, will be

the future's not ours to see

que sera sera,what will be will be
