    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

    • lekko — easily, lightly
    • przyjść — to come
    • pójść — to go

    Grammar note

    Both verbs are impersonal past perfective — 'przyszło' and 'poszło' (neuter). The parallel structure mirrors the symmetry of the meaning.
