Oh, without CK's comment, I'd have believed that this idiom exists in English, too!

The English should be "bite the bullet", apparently.

We have some examples:

"I must bite the bullet." is a good English sentence.

I think that the best translation is:
I must bite the bullet.

other translations:
I must/have to pocket/swallow my pride.
I must/have to take my own medicine.
I must/have to swallow the bitter pill.
I must/have to put my pride in my pocket.
informal: I must grin and bear it.
