"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.

English version

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]

French version

The French lyrics, Qui sait, qui sait, are by Jacques Larue [fr], 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]

Turkish version

Turkish rock band Athena released a version in 1998 titled "Senden, Benden, Bizden", which translates to "About You, About Me, About Us". It contains some lyrics from the original song, for example "If you really loved me tell me, never say no" (Beni gerçekten sevdiysen söyle, asla hayır deme). "Senden, Benden, Bizden" was released as part of their album "Holigan" under the label NR1 Müzik.
