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 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!"
