Hi, Ardith Hinton! -> Alexander Koryagin
I read your message from 20.05.2020 22:14

 AH> I remember a song from the 1950's in which a woman tells her
 AH> children what her mother told her when she was a little
 AH> girl... "What will be, will be". Should you want to look up the
 AH> lyrics, the name of this song is QUE SERA, SERA.

No limit for informal speech. Let's try to remove the past tense at all:

"I remember a song from the 1950's in which a woman tells her
children what her mother tells her when she is a little girl..."  ;-)

Bye, Ardith!
