English (Loose translation): There is no point blaming yourself for something that has happened in the past.

Explanation: The truth is you cannot regret something that has yet to happen. Regret is always related to a past event, action or decision. But there is no benefit in blaming oneself for things that you cannot change any longer. One has to move on.
