This Spanish phrase literally translates to 'The one who leaves is not needed'. It is used to express the sentiment that if someone chooses to leave or abandon a situation or relationship, they were not necessary or important in the first place.
Examples
- Spanish: Juan decidió abandonar el proyecto, pero como dicen, 'el que se va no hace falta'. Seguiremos adelante sin él.
- English: Juan decided to abandon the project, but as they say, 'the one who leaves is not needed'. We will move forward without him.
