It's Been So Long

My compatriot,
You and I have been on our own path for so long,
The party is over, it's time to go to bed and sleep soundly,
The party is over, so go to sleep,
Go to sleep, my friend, the party is over and the music has stopped,
Travel slowly and carefully, although your heart may be heavy,For the journey is long,
I thought there was no God in the Catholic Church,But until I met you, I always believed,
My wife,
You are the one I have been waiting for
My wife, you are the one I have been waiting for A change of time and everything will be new Remember, I told you that you would come one day How good it was to meet you here,I would never have met a Yoruba woman like you How good it was to meet you,
Patience brings joy,So wait for me, and you will see The reward (Chorus: I waited for you for so long, And now you're finally here My wish has come true My heart is filled with joy You waited for me for so long,And now I'm finally here My wish has come true My heart is filled with joy
And now you're finally here x2
I'll remember you all my life (eh heh) I'll never forget you Ha ya fama, you are my love Ha ya fama,han Ha ya fama,
Han han han Now let me tell you something, please listen My love, forgive me for everything My love, please come home,
Don't leave me Please come home
And now you're finally here x2
X4 My friend, my friend I ask God to give us a long life
