"Lo que se va, lo que se fue"

I saw this line in a poem and wasn't sure how to translate it. Maybe something like, "that which comes to be, comes to be," or "whatever happens, happens?" I don't know!
Here is the whole stanza if it helps:
Lo que se va, lo que se fue Que nunca vuelva a regresar Lo que aprendí, lo que soñé No volverá a ser igual

My version:
What goes, what's gone, let it never come back, what I learned, what I dreamed, will never be the same.

Thank you everyone! Rey_Mysterio, yo_la_tengo, and chileno! I thought it would be an expression, but i guess it has more of a direct translation. - RyanGox, Apr 20, 2013

Pienso que esta línea va algo como esto:
What is, what was
Never returns again
It which I learned, it which I dreamed
Will not be the same again
...muy similar a la traducción de Rey_Mysterio
