Here is an old song. The song sends a
message that we have to be optimistic in life.
Let’s read the lyric together. Say every line
loudly, clearly, and correctly. First, repeat after
me.
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 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
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
Ohh...ohh...ohh...
Que Sera, Sera

In fact the song is very popular and
many people can sing it. Ask someone
who can sing the song to teach you to
sing it. Or, you can also download it from
YouTube.
Then, if possible, sing the song together
with your group or class. It will even be
more interesting if you can sing it with a
musical instrument like the guitar.
