Que Será, Será (Whatever Will Be, Will Be)

Alcides Gerardi's rendition of 'Que Será, Será (Whatever Will Be, Will Be)' is a timeless exploration of life's inherent uncertainties and the acceptance of fate. The song's lyrics take us through different stages of life, each marked by a recurring question about the future. As a child, the narrator wonders about his future wealth, only to be met with the comforting yet ambiguous response, 'Que será, será,' emphasizing that the future is unknowable and beyond our control.

As the narrator grows older and falls in love, the same question arises, this time concerning the nature of his romantic life. Will it be filled with happiness and rosy moments? Again, the answer remains the same: 'Que será, será.' This repetition underscores a universal truth that no matter how much we yearn for certainty, the future remains a mystery, and we must learn to live with that ambiguity.

Finally, as a parent, the narrator faces the same questions from his children. They too are curious about their future fortunes. The narrator, now wiser, passes on the same wisdom he received: 'Que será, será.' This cyclical nature of the song highlights the generational transmission of this philosophy of acceptance and resilience. Gerardi's soothing voice and the song's simple yet profound message resonate deeply, reminding us to embrace life's unpredictability with grace and patience.
