車窓

最初の頁を捲って

片道切符を挟み込んだ

暈んやり見上げた空に

冬のカシオペア　発車のベル

仄白い夜の底

もう戻れない過ぎ去った時間が

窓に縁どられて遠ざかる

目深に被ったベレーに

雪が滲むのを見つめていた

最後の言葉は

風に飛ばされて消えていった

ため息で曇る窓

さようならと指先で綴った

零れ落ちる水のメッセージ

夜汽車の窓辺に凭れて

見慣れた町の風景は流れた

Train Window

I turned over the first page, and

inserted one way ticket in it.

In the sky I looked up vacantly,

there's Cassiopeia in the winter. Train departure bell rings along.

At the bottom of a dimly white night,

The time passed away with no return is

framed by the window and is going away.

With my beret put on deeply,

I was staring at the snow, which was spreading out.

My last words were

blown and faded away in the wind.

My sigh fogged the window.

I spelled out goodbye with my fingertip.

A message from the water spilling down.

As I lean on the window side of the night train,

the familiar townscape has drifted away.

[English and Japanese language question]

Hello,
When I say "I was watching at the snow bleeding."

Does it sound funny? Does it sound like the blood is bleeding?

I'm having a hard time translating "雪が滲むのを見つめていた".

I ended up translating it, "I was staring at the snow oozing".

Does it sound strange to use "bleeding" for snow?

I don't want to use "blurring" for "Nizimu". (dictionary is recommending "blur" for Nijimu all the time.)

May be "spreading" is better than "oozing".

"I was staring at the snow spreading".

You're right, it would sound very poetic to say the snow was 'bleeding' onto the ground and 'blurring' definitely doesn't sound right. Allow me to be the one on the English side to look up the Kanji online and try to give you a good idea.

滲む appears to be one of those Japanese words that has many meanings in English. It looks like it means, in general, for something to slowly leak or spread out like a liquid. This means it can translate to something like 'oozing', 'bleeding' or 'blurring' because those are words that mean similar things in English about loose, liquid things running or leaking.

In this case, I think a good translation for it is something like
"I was staring at the spreading snow"

As in:
I was staring at the snow, which was spreading out

Excellent! thank you very much. I will use the last one since it sounds grammatically correct! Thank you. my problem is solved. :)

...This is if you have time allowed, but would you mind if I ask another "English" question from other song?
(Which is dragonball song :) quite different from this song, though.)

P.S. Ah, may be not. I'm asking for people's favor too much recently. I will refrain. :)
