A short lyric:

[sohcahtoa]

Hi, I'm translating a song and I just need help with a particular clause:
「美しい日々幾度願い拭った手」
I asked on SharedTalk, and what I got was this:
"beautiful days so many times to wipe hands out for best wishes"
Now.. that wording isn't exactly beautiful, but I'm confused where the meaning comes from. I understand the temporal nouns, but I'm confused how you get "to wipe hands out for best wishes" from 「願い拭った手」. I don't fully understand how it works when a noun follows a verb. So, is 「拭った手」 "hands that wiped" or "wiped hands"? (if clasp isn't a better word, I don't know what it means by wiped..) Then, how does that connect with the noun for wishes/prayers? Is something like a particle being omitted?
Thanks.

I googled and read the entire lyrics. Here's my interpretation;

美しい日々を幾度願い、涙を拭った手に咲く希望

Could I interpret 願い拭った手 as "troubles my prayers eliminated"? I saw an alternate meaning for 手 is "troubles", but I don't know if that's how it would be used. Also, I can't find a good resource to explain nouns that succeed verbs.. I'm a little confused there.

No. 願い is the -masu stem of 願う , as in my previous post. It's used to continue clauses.

手 literally means "hand(s)" there.

Does that mean you haven't learned attributive/modifying clause yet?

Oh! I did not realize that, my dictionary just listed it as a noun.
As for attributive/modifying clause, I did not know that was the name. I am still new to the language, and I only started diving into grammar recently. I will research that now,
ありがとう！

Then, my advice is "Stop translating lyrics" since it's hard even for intermediate learners. Learn grammar first, and then try it again.
