Lyrics

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 será, será
Whatever will be, will be
The future’s not ours to see
Que será, será
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 será, será
Whatever will be, will be
The future’s not ours to see
Que será, será
What will be, will be”

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

“Que será, será
Whatever will be, will be
The future’s not ours to see
Que será, será
What will be, will be”

Que será, será
