When I was just a little girl
I asked my mother: "What will I be?
Will I be pretty?

*"Que sera, sera

This was her wise reply: (*)

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: (*)

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: (*)

我會長得很帥嗎？
我會很有錢嗎？
我溫柔的告訴他們：
