Recently a sentence in Slovak turned up, that I realized I couldn't translate into English so that it keeps its "smoothness".
It is something that means:
Things that are to happen will happen.
What is destined will happen.
Things that should happen will happen.
Is there some sort of an idiom or a metaphor?
Thanks in advance...

In English we have an Italian expression : che sera,sera. What will be, will be.

Never of girls with big bulges in their blouses.
…and look forward to meeting you in Cóito.

Oh the Italians have more then some colourful and expressive language to offer.... Rather good wine, cheese.... ham to die for (parma) and an eye for design that I love.. Ferrari... etc.

Anyhow, thank you.

Paul, you have forgotten their boys, ref Michael Davidson's 'Some Boys'.
I dream of boys with big bulges in their trousers,
Never of girls with big bulges in their blouses.
…and look forward to meeting you in Cóito.
