Literally translated, the English equivalent of this expression would be like “You snooze, you lose”.

Example:                                              “Hey Matteo!                                           You have been telling me about your love for Emma in the last three months. Personally, I think that you should tell her your feelings or Thomas will declare himself in love with her before you do that! Remember that you snooze, you lose!”.

This Italian proverb refers to the occasions missed by the person who doesn’t get and take advantage of the chances and the opportunities happened to him/her.
