سه ورس این ترانه در طول زندگی راوی — از کودکی، تا بزرگسالی و عاشق شدن، تا والدین شدن — پیش میرود و پس از هر کدام میپرسد «چه کسی خواهم شد؟» یا «چه چیزی پیش روی ماست؟» و کُرس این پاسخ را تکرار میکند: «هر اتفاقی بخواد بیفته میفته».
↑"Que Sera, Sera (Whatever Will Be, Will Be)" is how the title is given in the song's official sheet music,[۱] but it has been rendered in various ways in other sources. The order of the main title and parenthetical may be swapped, as when the song was nominated for the Academy Award as "Whatever Will Be, Will Be (Que Sera, Sera)".[۲] It may also be referred to as simply "Que Sera, Sera", or "Whatever Will Be, Will Be". The title sequence of The Man Who Knew Too Much gives the title as "Whatever Will Be". Rarely, the title is rendered with diacritics as "Que Será, Será".[۳]
