"Quizás, quizás, quizás", sometimes known simply as "Quizás" (Latin American Spanish: [kiˈsas]; "Perhaps"), is a popular song by Cuban songwriter Osvaldo Farrés. [1] [2] Farrés wrote the music and original Spanish lyrics for the song which became a hit for Bobby Capó in 1947.
The English lyrics for "Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps" were translated by Joe Davis [3] from the original Spanish version. The English version was first recorded by Desi Arnaz in 1948 (RCA). [4]
The French lyrics, Qui sait, qui sait, are by Jacques Larue , with a slightly different meaning. The story is about a man wondering if the flirting of his girlfriend while dancing with an unknown man will have impact on their relationship: "Who knows?". It has been first recorded by Luis Mariano in 1948, on a single for His Master's Voice. [5]
