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
[Chorus:]
Que Sera Sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future’s not ours to see
Que Sera Sera
Since I am just a boy in school
I asked my teacher, «What should I try?
Should I paint pictures, should I sing songs?»
This was her wise reply
(Chorus)
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
(Chorus)
Now I have children of my own
They ask their mother, «What will I be?
Will I be pretty, will I be rich?»
I tell them, «Wait and see»
