Let your transformative love, O Dionysos Eleutherios,
fall as fire from heaven upon the altar of our hearts,
strengthen our souls and awaken us from the deathly sleep
which holds us captive, so that we may live in your truth
instead of this dreary existence which is no better than a dream,
and pour your ecstasies out upon us, lord of libations, so that we may
know you more fully in both your joys and and your sufferings.
