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"
