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
