  What it means

  Literally “it came easily, it went easily.” Means easy come, easy go — things gained without effort are lost just as easily.

  Vocabulary

  • łatwo — easily
  • przyjść — to come (perfective)
  • pójść — to go (perfective)

  Grammar note

  Two parallel impersonal past tense constructions. The symmetry of 'przyszło/poszło' mirrors the symmetry of gaining and losing.
