I have heard this song for most of my life. The funny thing is that it has changed as I grow in experience and in age. When I was young, it was just an old person song from an old timey movie I had no interest in. As I grew and finally watched the movie, it made a little more sense. Now that I am in my 50’s, the wistfulness of this song really hits me hard. I can’t even sing the song without tears coming out.
“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 was young the future looked so bright and in the eyes of a child nothing bad can happen. Now I know the heartaches that life can bring, and what will be will be means something different to me now. It’s more about being peaceful in the storms knowing tha they will pass.
