To be or not to be

Question

Será o no será.

Is that how it is in spanish'? and if there is anyother way to say it'

Answer 1

I heard that line as a lyric in a song by Antonio Orozco: "Ser o no ser, (querer o no querer)", so I'm with the translation in the infinitive, not the future.

Answer 2

Yes, in that case, either he didn't understand you, or he is unfamiliar with the standard translation of that famous line.

Answer 3

i asked him about how to say Shakespeares quote in spanish, and his answer was Será o no será, i even asked him why is it in future? and he said: it is said like that. (note: another native speaker was there and agreed on what he said). i will assume that he didn\t understand my question or i didn`t express my question well, OR he might have been refering to something else that i was so thick to get it that day.
