The literal translation is “there’s no way/method”. Which figuratively translates into “can’t be helped”.

If I remember correctly, the way to express inevitable necessity to do something also translates to something like "otherwise no way" in Japanese

Also, Chinese is "没办法" (méi bànfǎ) that is also "no way [of doing something]"
