Will I be rich?"    Here's what she said to me:       Que sera sera    Whatever will be, will be    The future's not ours to see    Que sera sera    What will be, will be       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:       Que sera sera    Whatever will be, will be    The future's not ours to see    Que sera sera    What will be, will be       When I grew up and fell in love,    I asked my lover: "What lies ahead?    Will we have rainbows day after day?"    Guess what my lover said:      Que sera sera    Whatever will be, will be    The future's not ours to see    Que sera sera    What will be, will be       Now I have children of my own    They ask their mother: "What will I be?"    "Will I be pretty?"
