Zafem’s song “Coming Soon” is a poignant expression of deep longing, a yearning for presence, and a cry for connection.
Reginald uses the rhythm and lyrics to paint a vivid picture of a man in a desperate quest to close the gap that has come between him and his beloved.
The Cry of the Heart
The lyrics “I’m coming soon I’ll be around in a few… Baby I need you right now, I need you right now, Don’t leave where you are” serve as a heartrending plea.
The intensity of this need, this craving for connection, is echoed through the lines, with the repetition emphasizing the desperate urgency of the situation.
An Emotional Rollercoaster
Reginald introduces a touch of suspense and anticipation with lyrics like “I’m speeding my heart’s racing like crazy, Rushing to see you where are you, baby.”
The verses reveal the emotional whirlwind that the protagonist is going through. He is in a race against time, fuelled by a passionate desire to be reunited with his love.
A Complicated Dance of Love
As the song progresses, Reginald brings a glimpse of the complexity of the relationship with “Last time I saw your face, I could tell that you needed some space…
Now you wanna part ways, but You say you don’t believe in fate.” This suggests a struggle between the need for personal space and the desire for togetherness.
The Lingering Uncertainty
The refrain “Mi dunno what to say, Mi dunno what to do, Bebe O bebe O, Bebe O bebe O, Mi dunno what to do” captures the confusion and indecision that often accompanies complicated romantic relationships.
The phrases are a testament to the protagonist’s dilemma and uncertainty about navigating his relationship’s turbulent waters.
Coming Soon Lyrics
I’m coming soon I’ll be around in a few
I may need things that I wanna say to you
Baby I need you right now
I need you right now
Don’t leave where you are
I’m speeding my hearts racing like crazy
I’m Rushing to see you where are you baby
Baby I need you right now
I need you right now
Don’t leave where you are
I’ve been calling you babe
And I tried many times today
I got something to say
We can’t stay so far away
I’m feeling a way
Don’t leave home
I’m on my way
Whatever you say you’ll explain
I won’t leave, till I hear you will stay
I’m coming soon I’ll be around in a few
I may need things that I wanna say to you
Baby I need you right now
I need you right now
Don’t leave where you are
I’m speeding my hearts racing like crazy
Rushing to see you where are you baby
I love you baby
Baby I need you right now
I need you right now
Don’t leave where you are
Last time I saw your face
I could tell that you needed some space
You had a few things to say
That could’ve have been our saving grace
Now you wanna part ways
but You say you don’t believe in fate
Whatever you say you’ll explain
I won’t leave till I hear you will stay
M pa vle wè bae
Bebe ya file nanpwen mwen nanpwen
Nanpwen mwen san li
Mwen vle’l ret sennesof
Zanj yo pwoteje’l sere’l yon kote
Gade yon règleman gade yon touman

Mi dunno what to say
Mi dunno what to do
Bebe O bebe O
Bebe O bebe O
Mi dunno what to do
M pa vle wè bae
Bebe ya file nanpwen mwen nanpwen
Nanpwen mwen san li
Mwen vle l ret sennesof
Zanj yo pwoteje l sere l yon kote
Gade yon règleman gadon yon touman
Pou mwe
Mi dunno what to say
Mi dunno what to do
Bebe O bebe O
Bebe O bebe O
Mi dunno what to do
