You can find it in a Milton Nascimento album; either Minas, or Geraes.
(I'm not sure which one)

I have a question here. Is this "Que sera (A Flor do Pele)" a different
song from the "O que sera" that Chico Buarqe composed for the film
"Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands" (sung by Simone) ?
Interestingly, there is an LP produced in Brazil, called "Chico Buarque in
EspaNol" (with a picture of a broken piece of bread on the cover), where
Chico Buarque sings the latter song (the film one) in Spanish! The track
also features some vocals by Milton Nascimento.
Obrigado.

Hi Dennis,
Thanks for the thorough reply. One more doubt that stems from the
similarity of words: Is the Doris Day song "que sera sera" (fom
some Hitchcock film, perhaps "The Man Who Knew Too Much") related
to the Portuguese or Spanish songs?
Regards.

Absolutely no relation I'm aware of. Que Sera Sera (as Doris herself
translates) means "what will be will be." "O Que Sera" translates best as
"What Will It Be?."
Beyond that, no basis for comparison. Doris's song is banal, trite and
childish. Chico's is richly meaningful and insightful on a number of
levels, and is widely considered one of his masterpieces--quite a
distinction for a songwriter who rarely wrote a bad song, and never wrote
a superficial one.

Actually, Chico composed three variations of this song. See Charles
Perrone's Masters of Contemporary Brazilian Song for elucidation of the
differences. There is "O Que Sera (A Flor Da Pele)" and "O Que Sera (A
Flor da Terra)."
The Chico album on which this appeared is "Meus Caros Amigos," I believe.
Milton and Chico combined on "Geraes," and Simone's best version is on her
"Face A Face" album (her masterpiece, IMHO).
This is also a well-known song in the Spanish-speaking world, due largely
to a great Salsa spanish version by Willie Colon. (In the same vein, look
for Celia's Cruz great version of Chico's "Deixa A Menina." Of all
Brazilian songwriters, Chico's music is probably the best-known in Latin
Music circles, but among my latino/a friends, it's surprising how many
know these songs but didn't know it was a Brazilian who composed it..)
