Lyrics

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 grow up and fall in love
I’ll ask my sweetheart
What lies ahead
Will there be rainbow day after day
Here’s what he’ll say 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 have children of my own
They’ll ask their mother
What will I be
Will I be pretty
Will I be rich
I’ll 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
