I would say that for the way that is written "que sera, sera" is either portuguese or spanish. I do agree that "se passer" or "arriver" would be better than "être" in translating "what will be" to French. You might be confusing ce qui/ce que with qui/que. So "ce que sera" isn't possible because "ce que" needs a subject right after it. "Ce qui" functions as a sentence subject, and because of this it's followed directly by a verb, as in "ce qui sera." "Ce que", however, functions as an object, so it is followed by a subject + verb. However, to actually say "Whatever happens will happen," you'd probably want to say "Ce que se passera se passera." -Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.112.136.11 ( talk) 20:28, 4 April 2008 (UTC) Actually, "ce qui" can refer to things, so "ce qui sera" can mean "what/whatever will be". The French translation here is wrong - "ce qui sera sera" means "who will be, will be." "Ce que sera sera" would mean "what will be will be," so I think the title is probably closest to French. The article linked to by the "not" at the bottom of the trivia suggests that the Spanish equivalent could be wrong, and that the first verb should be in the subjunctive, not the future. ❺lgún hispanohablante que me quiera contradecir? AFAIK Hitchcock didn't speak Spanish, so it makes sense.- 87.162.54.135 18:14, 3 February 2007 (UTC) It's "what" meaning "that which" hence "quello che" or "ciò che" in Italian. In Spanish it would be "Lo que será, será" (if you don't want to use the more adequate subjunctive of future/present: lo que fuere/lo que sea). Even if spelled "Qué será, será" or "Que será, será" this is not correct Spanish, contrary to what the article says.

I'd welcome an authoritative answer from a Spanish speaker, though clearly the song title is in "generic Hollywood Romance language" Kaicarver 10:45, 13 December 2006 (UTC) For the pronoun "whatever," The New World Spanish-English and English-Spanish Dictionary has "cualquier cosa que, todo lo que, no importa que " Cassell's Concise French-English English-French Dictionary has "quoi que " Mondadori's Pocket Italian-English English-Italian Dictionary has "tutto cio che, qualunque, qualsiasi cosa, quel poco di." –Æ. I'd favor "Que", a shortened "Lo que" or "El destino que" (see discussion), but my Spanish isn't good enough to say. I'm also not sure whether the spelling in Spanish should be "Qué" or "Que". The French would be something like "ce qui sera, sera". There's no way the title could be French, even mispronounced. Also as she sings she has the usual accent Americans have when they speak Portuguese. I must add that I do speak Portuguese and Que será será is Portuguese, although it can also be Spanish but that I can't tell for sure, for I am not fluent in Spanish. Kaicarver (see below) is right: it's in "generic Hollywood romance language." It may have been intended to sound Spanish, but it's not, and the official titles as published have no é or á. Sharcho 18:46, 4 June 2006 (UTC) It isn't, actually.
