The Akara Lyrics

And also, I believe the first stanza goes: "So long, mistress sings, So long, I can't wait Anymore, I'll wait no more"

like, the mistress says she'll wait no more for her lover to leave his wife, so she's leaving him. at least that's what i understand...

I definitely agree with that. What you wrote is clearly the correct version of the lyrics.
