Addictive songs always in need for translation :(

The guitar intro looks like this. It's so amazing I've had this song playing on repeat all day long.


Viikate - Öljyvärejä

Sain minä lahjaksi hautapaikan
viereltä pihlajapuun
Sain minä lahjaksi hautapaikan
mis' ruoho sateella painautuu

Kivi on sileä vielä
vielä on koskematon
Liekö tuo lainassa sieltä
missä veräjä raollaan on

Kiveen kirjoittakaa "Olen valmiiksi vainaa"
Kiveen kirjoittakaa "Olen valmiiksi vainaa"

Vastalahjaksi taulun maalaan
maalaan nurmen ja puun
Vastalahjaksi taulun maalaan
kuinka veräjä avautuu

Kivi kiiltävä seisoo
katveessa pihlajapuun
Harmaalla värillä viimein
nimikin hahmottuu

Minä taulua maalaan "Olen valmiiksi vainaa"
Minä taulua maalaan "Olen valmiiksi valmiiksi vainaa"
Minä taulua maalaan "Olen valmiiksi vainaa"
Minä taulua maalaan "Olen valmiiksi valmiiksi vainaa"

What does that look like in TAB?

I no longer read piano charts too well.


Yeah, I know, senility is a bitch.

I would figure it out, but I don't have a guitar readily available in residence and the last time I transcribed something for guitar it took me about half a year to get from just knowing how to play it on the piano to playing it on the guitar, and another year to finally get down to putting it in tab (http://www.livejournal.com/users/kyrasantae/45295.html) :P

But of course I'll work on it when I have the time :)

Viikate (Scythe =) - Oil colours

I got a burial place as a gift
next to a mountain ash tree
I got a burial place as a gift
where grass flattens in the rain

The stone is there still
it is untouchable still
Might be borrowed from there
where wicket ajar is

On the stone write "I'm already dead"
On the stone write "I'm already dead"

I will paint a paiting as a return present
I will paint a grass and a tree
I will paint a paiting as a return present
how a wicket opens up

A sleek stone stands
in a shadow of mountain ash
On a gray color at last
you can outline the name

I'm painting a painting "I'm already dead"
I'm painting a painting "I'm already ready dead"
I'm painting a painting "I'm already dead"
I'm painting a painting "I'm already ready dead"

I must say that the subject of the song is quite depressing. I haven't heard the song as such (or I don't remember) but, yeah, it's a bit of WTF?.
