Doris Day – Que Sera Sera lyrics

Doris Day – Que Sera Sera lyrics

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 Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be.

When I was young, I fell in love
I asked my sweetheart what lies ahead
Will we have rainbows, day after day
Here's what my sweetheart 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 handsome, will I be rich
I tell them tenderly.

Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be.

"Que sera sera" is a literal translation from pukka Spanish an ancient form of Spanish from the southern region. "Que" meaning "what" and "sera" meaning "will be" as judgement was past and failed performers were thrown to the den of lions as penalty death by lions, as such if they survived the mauling from the lions they would be set free que sera sera. This has been hotly disputed over the years as to why performers were executed in this way until late 2012 it was discovered a large stone table on the front of which was four large x's it is thought to be a seating area where four judges sat delivering their decisions on what outcome befell the performers.

I disagree. I think the song means just accept and worry not about whatever happens in the future, not necessarily saying accept anything men will do to you. The song is a beautiful one and deserves to be kept alive as much as it can. I simply think it means, don't worry about what your future will be, que sera, sera.

It was a way of telling girls/women not to be proactive. Just accept anything that others (men) will do to you or have for you. From an era where people, mainly men, wanted women to be what they tell them to be. This type of song needs to be killed off and buried.
