Talk:Que Sera, Sera (Whatever Will Be, Will Be)

message: It says the phrase makes no sense in either Spanish, Italian, or French.
That's not exact, in Spanish it's just spelled wrong, without the ascents, but "que será será" makes perfect sense and is the exact and correct translation of "what will be will be"  (practically equivalent to "whatever will be will be"). It sounds perfectly natural and means exactly that. It might not have been used in Spanish as an expression before the song, but any Spanish speaking person would understand it with that meaning even if they had never heard it before.
It could be argued whether "que" should be spelled "qué" or "que". I wouldn't be surprised if the Real Academia Española said both can be accepted. That's long to explain.

replies: text: "It is ungrammatical" is not the same as "[It] makes no sense".  Read the article at <https://langnhist.weebly.com/queSera.html> to see why it is ungrammatical.  The English "what" (one word) meaning "that which" is "lo que" (two words) in Spanish, not "que" or "qué".  The Academy has not said anything about the saying or the song.

replies: text: So what would the grammatical expression be in Spanish? Neither this wikipedia article nor your weebly link says. Is it lo que sera sera? -lethe talk [ +] 03:40, 14 January 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: The article (Sec. 4.2) lists five traditional Spanish sayings with similar meanings, as well as "Lo que será será" in a Spanish translation of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.  Kotabatubara (talk) 15:59, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

text: "O que será, será" is perfectly valid portuguese and a closer match to the saying here. That said, it doesn't mean it was intended to be portuguese. Gotta remember Portuguese and Spanish are pratically identical twins in the language world (They look a lot like each other, but they can also be very different). 109.79.31.119 (talk) 08:01, 14 July 2021 (UTC)

message: Regarding the melody of "Que sera sera": it owns a lot of Emanuel Chabrier's composition "Habanera" which in return is a loose interpretation of the melody of La Paloma. 109.37.128.52 (talk) 09:01, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

message: In my experience, when used as a chant in England on a cup run, the lyrics 'que sera sera, whatever will be will be' are more often sang as 'tell me ma me ma, i won't be home for tea'
