соловей співає, а блоха кусає?

Hi, is this an idiom or an old saying in Ukraine, or Russia?

I'd like to know if there's any special meaning behind or anything it implies.

Thank you.

    Not an idiom but a metaphor. Just means that in order to achieve greatness, you need to put in the work. Not the direct translation.
