Koromode no saeyuku mama ni shimoto yuu katsuragiyama ni yuki wa furitsutsu - Kinyo Wakashu(English Translation & Meaning)

衣手の冴えゆくままにしもと結ふ
葛城山に雪は降りつつ

Roma-ji: Koromode no saeyuku mama ni shimoto yuu katsuragiyama ni yuki wa furitsutsu
English Translation: As my robe's sleeves
grow colder and colder still,
on brushwood-binding
Katsuragi Mountain
the snow keeps falling down
Meaning: As my sleeves grow colder and colder, snow keeps falling on Mount Katsuragi.
Commentary: Book Four Winter Poems 288

As the poet's sleeves grow steadily colder, snow keeps falling on Mount Katsuragi. The deepening cold felt on the body overlaps with the snow falling and piling on the mountain.
It draws on a song of the Office of Court Song in the Kokinshū that sings of snow falling on Katsuragi and of longing felt without pause. Like 'against my sleeves' in poem 278 in this book, it sings of mountain snow through the cold felt in the sleeves.
Poems 277 through 293 in this book center on snow, with poems on falconry set among them at 281 through 283.
The author, Toshiyori, is Minamoto no Toshiyori. A son of Minamoto no Tsunenobu, he compiled this anthology, the Kin'yōwakashū, at the command of Retired Emperor Shirakawa, and is known for his innovative style.

First line, 'koromode no', means of my sleeves, setting a scene of cold felt on the skin, akin to the first line 'against my sleeves' of poem 278 in this book.
Second line, 'saeyuku mama ni', means as they grow colder.
Third line, 'shimoto yuu', is a pillow word attached to Katsuragi.
Fourth line, 'katsuragiyama ni', is a mountain on the border of Yamato and Kawachi, a poetic place.
Final line, 'yuki wa furitsutsu', means snow keeps falling, tsutsu expressing continuation and leaving a lingering mood.
