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

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

Chorus

When I grew up and fell in love
I asked my sweetheart what lies ahead
Will there be rainbows
Day after day?
Here's what my sweetheart said

Chorus
