「Shibaraku・しばらく」
"for a while," "for a long time."

Shibaraku indicates that an action or event occurs for a short or long period, depending on context. It is also used as a greeting (ex., 3).

Examples:
ここでしばらくお待ちください。
Koko de shibaraku o-machi kudasai.
Please wait here for a while.

しばらく日本語を話さなかったので、下手になった。
Shibaraku Nihongo o hanasanakatta node, heta ni natta.
Because I didn;t speak Japanese for a long time, I became bad at it.

しばらくですね。お元気ですか。
Shibaraku desu ne. O-genki desu ka.
It's been quite some time since I last saw you. How have you been?

Hope this helps!

じゃまたね！
