Long Time
Negusa Negast Lyrics

The lyrics to Negusa Negast's song "Long Time" convey a sense of longing and desire to be reunited with a loved one. The singer expresses a yearning to see their partner's eyes shine and have their light close to their heart. However, they do not want to see them cry or suffer because of another man who does not love them. The singer is waiting for their partner and following their steps, hoping to bump into them by chance in some place. The repetition of "Long time I've cried" emphasizes how long it has been since the singer has felt their loved one's presence and desire to see them again.

The song showcases the singer's vulnerability and emotional turmoil, as they patiently wait for their partner to return. There is an element of sacrifice in the lyrics, as the singer is willing to endure the pain of waiting as long as it takes, even if it means being a "penitent" and following their partner's steps. The lyrics also highlight the theme of loyalty, where the singer's love for their partner is strong and unconditional, and they do not want to see them suffer in any way.
