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"
