How to center a tooltip horizontally over a link

I am trying to get a tooltip that should be pasted at the top and center of the tag. This works for me for short text, but I cannot get it to focus on large text.

I understand that this is due to the positioning of the window and arrow, but I can’t find the right combination to get the arrow centered under the field and the field above the tag.

I hope to do this only with CSS.

HTML:

<div> 
    <a class="tooltip" href="#" title="tooltip">
        <span>Text</span>    
    </a>

</div>
<div> <a class="tooltip" href="#" title="tooltip">
        <span>TextTextText</span>    
    </a>

</div>

CSS

div {
    padding: 150px;
    display: inline-block;
    background-color: red;
}
.tooltip{
    display: inline;
    position: relative;
}
.tooltip:hover:after{
    background: #333;
    background: rgba(0,0,0,.8);
    border-radius: 5px;
    bottom: 26px;
    color: #fff;
    content: attr(title);
    padding: 10px;
    left: -50%;
    position: absolute;
    z-index: 98;
}
.tooltip:hover:before{
    border: solid;
    border-color: #333 transparent;
    border-width: 6px 6px 0 6px;
    bottom: 20px;
    content: "";
    left: 30%;
    position: absolute;
    z-index: 99;
}

And here is the violin .

I am very grateful for any help I can get.

width, translateX :

.tooltip:hover:after {
    left: 50%;
    transform: translateX(-50%);
    /* other styles ... */
}

.tooltip:hover:before {
    left: 50%;
    transform: translateX(-50%);
