Que Sera Sera
"Que Sera Sera (Whatever Will Be, Will Be)" is a timeless song that has touched the hearts of many, including my mom. It's one of those classics that never seems to age, carrying a message of acceptance and calm that resonates across generations.
The song was performed by the iconic Doris Day and was first introduced to the world in the 1956 Alfred Hitchcock film "The Man Who Knew Too Much." Its catchy melody and reassuring lyrics quickly made it a favorite, earning it the Academy Award for Best Original Song.
"Que Sera Sera" speaks to the universal human experience of uncertainty about the future. Its chorus, "Que sera, sera, whatever will be, will be, the future's not ours to see," reminds us all that while we can't predict what lies ahead, we can embrace whatever comes with grace and serenity.
My mom loves this song because it embodies a simple yet profound wisdom. It's a comforting reminder that worrying about the unknown won't change the outcome, and sometimes the best thing we can do is to go with the flow and trust in life's unfolding journey.
This song is more than just a piece of music; it's a mantra for life's unpredictable moments, offering comfort and a sense of peace. Its timeless appeal ensures that it will continue to be cherished by many, just as it has been by my mom and countless others.

"Que Sera, Sera"
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
Since I am just a boy at 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? Will I be rich?"
I tell them, "Wait and see."
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
