I don't know what came over me/ I was acting on pure impulse Explanation: By the time I realised what I'd done/said, it was too late --- by no means a direct translation, but could work in the context. If the saying applies to something you said (by mistake) rather than an action, you could use something like "the words just flew out of my mouth", "it just came out", or "I just couldn't stop myself" |
