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

whaterver will be will be

The future's not ours to see

Que sera sera

whatever will be will be...

When I was just a child in school

I asked my teacher

what should I try

Should I paint picture

should I sing song

this was her wise reply

Que sera sera

whatever 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

Now I have children of my own

they asked 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...

Que sera, sera
