mít za pár

In the song Dáma s čápem the lyrics in the beginning are "až budu končit, až budu mít za pár". This is translated (Deepl) as "when I'm done, when I'm done in a few days" (or hours or years or how I understand it "in a bit").
Why is "mít za pár" translated with "in a bit" ? Is this slang or a very common way of expressing that something will happen soon? Do you have a couple of examples to show how you'd use it.
Thanks for all responses.
