[Verse 1]
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
What will be, will be"
[Bridge]
There's a song that I sing
Autumn, winter, summer, spring
Da-da, da-da, da-da-da
Da, da, da
Da-da-da, da, da
[Verse 2]
When I grew up and fell in love
I asked my lover "What will there be?
Will there be rainbows day after day?"
Here's what he said to me
[Chorus]
"Que sera, sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que sera, sera
What will be, will be"
[Bridge]
There's a song that I sing
Autumn, winter, summer, spring
Da-da, da-da, da-da-da
Da, da, da
Da-da-da, da, da
[Verse 3]
Now, I have children of my own
They ask their mother "What will I be?
Will I be handsome? Will I be rich?"
I tell them tenderly
[Chorus]
"Que sera, sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que sera, sera
[Chorus]
Que sera, sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que sera, sera
What will be, will be"
[Outro]
