Doris Day -¿Qué Será, Será?

Que Será, Será  (Whatever Will be,Will be) , first published in 1956 , is a popular song written by Jay Livingston and Ray Evans .
The song was introduced in Alfred Hitchcok´s 1956 film The Man Who Knew Too Much with Doris Day and James Stewart.
With this song you can practise the direct and reported speech.
I hope you sing and learn the lyrics almost by heart.



When I was just a little girlI asked my mother, "what will I be?
Will I be pretty? Will i be rich?"
Here's what she said to me:

"¿Qué será, será?,
Whatever will be, will be;
The future's not ours to see.
¿Qué será, será?,
What will be, will be."

When I was just a child in school,
I asked my teacher,
"what will I try?
Should I paint pictures?
Should I sing songs?"
This was her wise reply:

"¿Qué será, será?
Whatever will be, will be.
The future's not ours to see.
¿Qué será, será?
What will be, will be."

When I grew up and fell in love
I asked my sweetheart,
"What lies ahead?
Will we have rainbows day after day?"
Here's what my sweetheart said:

"¿Qué será, será?
Whatever will be, will be.
The future's not ours to see.
¿Qué será, será?
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:

"¿Qué será, será?
Whatever will be, will be.
The future's not ours to see.
¿Qué será, será?
What will be, will be."
