When I was just a child in school,
I asked my teacher, "What shall I try?
Should I paint pictures? Should I sing songs?"
This was her wise reply:
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 pretty? 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
