Lyrics

[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

[Verse 2]

"Que será, será

Whatever will be, will be

The future's not ours to see

Que será, será

What will be, will be"

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

"Que será, será

Whatever will be, will be

The future's not ours to see

Que será, será

What will be, will be"

[Verse 5]

When I grew up and fell in love

I ask my lover, "What lies ahead?

"Will we have rainbows, day after day?"

Guess what my lover said

[Verse 6]

"Que será, será

Whatever will be, will be

The future's not ours to see

Que será, será

What will be, will be"

[Verse 7]

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"

[Verse 8]

"Que será, será

Whatever will be, will be

The future's not ours to see

Que será, será

What will be, will be"

[Verse 9]

What will be, will be

What will be, will be
