Lyrics

  1. When I was just a little boy
    I asked my mother, “What will I be?
    Will I be handsome? Will I be rich?
    Here’s what she said to me

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

  1. When I was just a child in school
    I asked my teacher, “What should I try?”
    Should I paint pictures?
    Should I sing songs?
    This was her wise reply
  2. When I grew up and fell in love
    I asked my lover, “What lies ahead?
    Will we have rainbows day after day?
    Here’s what my lover said
  3. Now I have children of my own
    They ask their father, “What will I be?
    Will I be pretty? Will I be rich?
    I tell them tenderly
