You light up my life

(3257)  Tomari tare kata na kendechi

For You only, so much I've lamented;
Nonetheless, You came not to my dwelling..
A wreath I have strung, an altar I've embellished;
Filled with love, a candle I am lighting.

Heart's Deity, whereto did You vanish,
Having left empty my country psychic?
In memory, to You I bow by the hundreds;
Please look back, my salutation to receive.

You can do what You like, whatever is Your desire,
Slighting this existential wine.
By this wine ignited is a splendid festivity,
Presenting a line of lights to Thee.
