Sunshine Records Sunshine QK 1103 (Australia) In 1956 "Que Será, Será" was the name given to a US Navy C-47 Skytrain which, on October 31, 1956, was the first aircraft to land on the South Pole ( Operation Deep Freeze II), commanded by Rear Admiral George Dufek. The chorus's second line is changed to ‘Que Será, Será, whatever will be, will be, we're going to Wembley, Que Será, Será’. The song is regularly sung at English football matches when a team is progressing to the next round of a competition that will ultimately lead them to Wembley Stadium. In modern times, thanks to the popularity of the song, the phrase has been adopted in countries around the world to name a variety of entities, including books, movies, restaurants, vacation rentals, airplanes, and race horses. Early in the 17th century the saying begins to appear in the speech and thoughts of fictional characters as a spontaneous expression of a fatalistic attitude, always in an English-speaking context. The earliest documentation of the "Spanish" spelling is also from 16th-century England, on a brass plaque in a village church in Surrey. 1590 published 1604), whose text (Act 1, Scene 1) contains a line with the archaic Italian spelling "Che sera, sera / What will be, shall be"). Soon after its adoption as a heraldic motto, it appeared in Christopher Marlowe's play Doctor Faustus (written ca. His successors-Earls and, later, Dukes of Bedford ("Sixth Creation")-continued the use of the motto. One of the earliest documentations of the saying records it as being chosen by an English aristocrat of the 16th century (the 1st Earl of Bedford), as his family's heraldic motto. He immediately wrote it down as a possible song title, and he and lyricist Ray Evans later gave it a Spanish spelling "because there are so many Spanish-speaking people in the world". Composer Jay Livingston had seen the 1954 Hollywood film The Barefoot Contessa, in which a fictional Italian family has the motto "Che sarà sarà" carved in stone at their ancestral mansion. Livingston and Evans had some knowledge of Spanish, and early in their career they worked together as musicians on cruise ships to the Caribbean and South America.

It was evidently formed by a word-for-word mistranslation of English "What will be will be", merging the free relative pronoun what (= "that which") with the interrogative what? It is composed of Spanish or Italian words superimposed on English syntax. It has virtually no history in Spain or Italy, and in fact is ungrammatical in Spanish and Italian. The saying-spelled both in the Spanish-like form used by Livington and Evans and in the Italian-like form "che sara sara" (rarely with accent marks)-originated in England at least as early as the 16th century, first as a heraldic motto, and later as an expression of fatalism by literary characters. The popularity of the song has led to curiosity about the origins of the saying and the identity of its language. ( Che sarà was written by two Italians, Jimmy Fontana (born Enrico Sbriccoli) and Franco Migliacci and the title is more grammatically correct than is Que Sera, Sera). The song is sometimes confused with the song Che sarà, released by José Feliciano, first in Italian in 1971, then in Spanish as Qué Será, but the two songs have nothing in common except the similarity of their titles and the general theme of concern about the future. It was a #1 hit in Australia for pop singer Normie Rowe in September 1965. The title sequence of the Hitchcock film gives the song title as Whatever Will Be. It was the third Oscar in this category for Livingston and Evans, who previously won in 19. The song received the 1956 Academy Award for Best Original Song with the alternative title " Whatever Will Be, Will Be (Que Sera, Sera)". The three verses of the song progress through the life of the narrator-from childhood, to young adulthood and falling in love, to parenthood-and each asks "What will I be?" or "What lies ahead?" The chorus repeats the answer: "What will be will be." It reached the Billboard magazine charts in July 1956. From 1968 to 1973, it was the theme song for the situation comedy The Doris Day Show, becoming her signature song. ĭay's recording of the song for Columbia Records ( catalog number 40704) made it to number two on the Billboard Hot 100 and number one in the UK Singles Chart. The song was introduced in the Alfred Hitchcock film The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956), starring Doris Day and James Stewart in the lead roles. " Que Sera, Sera (Whatever Will Be, Will Be)", first published in 1956, is a popular song written by the Jay Livingston and Ray Evans songwriting team.
