The "I will survive" cover was used as a stadium tune for many sports events, including the also Rotterdam based football club Feyenoord Rotterdam. As of today the song is still played for each and every goal scored by Feyenoord in their own stadium. In 1998 the single scored a mega hit in Germany and singer Judith Ansems was asked to promote the song there. The band got a local contract at record label Polydor and alongside Ansems, former singers Job Wijlacker and Robin Maas were asked to record other singles in Germany under the name HHB International. Several of these other singles were also released in the Netherlands, such as "Country roads" and "Que sera, sera". In 2001, HHB created another world wide hit with DJ Ötzi. The cover of "Life is Life" of the band Opus reached the 2nd position in the French charts.
After winning the WorldCup, the French Footballteam sang 'lalala" while visiting president Macron with the Golden Trophee. Because of the success of the French Footballteam, the song "I Will Survive (lalala) reached the #1 position in the French Charts.
In their 25 year history, the Hermes House Band has released more than 25 albums and singles.

Hermes House Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I asked my mother, what will I be
Will I be pretty, will I be rich
Here's what she said to me.
Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
What will be, will be.
When I was young, I fell in love
I asked my sweetheart what lies ahead
Will we have rainbows, day after day
Here's what my sweetheart said.
Hey! what're you gonna say?
Hey! What're you gonna say?
Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be.
Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be.
Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
What will be, will be.
Que sera, sera
Now I have children of my own
They ask their mother, what will I be
Will I be handsome, will I be rich
I tell them tenderly.
Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be.
The song ‘Que Sera Sera’ by Hermes House Band is a cover of the original song by Doris Day released in 1956. The lyrics of the song depict a series of questions that the singer asks her mother, sweetheart, and eventually her own children about what their future holds. Each time, she finds herself getting the same answer, ‘Que Sera Sera’ which translates to ‘whatever will be will be’. The song stresses that the future is uncertain and it’s not in our control to predict it. The melody is very catchy and infectious, making it an instant hit with audiences around the world.
The lyrics of the song capture the essence of living in the moment and cherishing the present. It emphasizes the futility of worrying about the future and the importance of enjoying life as it comes. The song falls in line with the philosophy of Stoicism that encourages people to embrace the present moment and accept whatever happens as a natural part of life. The phrase Que Sera Sera is often used to comfort people during trying times and has become a timeless adage that resonates with people of all ages.
