| не судьба | it wasn't meant to be (It is a fatalistic expression. To say that something (for example, an event) "wasn't meant to be" means that the thing was not destined to happen (or that it was destined to not happen). It attributes the thing's not happening to fate or destiny. It has roughly the same meaning as the idiom it just wasn't in the cards. stackexchange.com ART Vancouver) |
