Spanish term or phrase: dejar hacer como hacer
con el logro del día que es el dejar hacer como hacer


AFAIK, 'el logro del dia' refers to an essay by Handke, which our German colleagues have kindly told me is 'a successful day'. However, I am a bit stuck on 'dejar hacer como hacer'. Anybody any ideas??

let it be!


Explanation:
From a famous Beatles song

LET IT BE

When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

let go and let God


Explanation:
This common expreseion captures the two ideas expressed in your phrase:
"dejar hacer" -- one has to surrender;
"como hacer" -- something is on its way

I suggest "let go" for "dejar hacer" and
"let God" for "como hacer"
