Que Serra Serra

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 serra serra
Whatever will be will be
The future's not ours to see
Que serra serra

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

Que serra serra
Whatever will be will be
The future's not ours to see
Que serra serra

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

Que serra serra
Whatever will be will be
The future's not ours to see
Que serra serra

What will be, will be
Que serra serra...
