A wonderful mele. For those who are not familiar with the Hawaiian language yet heard the spirit of the music with your hearts I celebrate with you. For those of you who know the meaning of this music I weep in appreciation with you. For those of you who neither understand nor appreciate what was presented I lament your loss.
MAI ITALIA KŌ LEI NANI
Traditional Arranged by Kapalai‘ula de Silva
Mai Italia kō lei nani
‘O ka ‘ōpu‘u liko o ke kalaunu
Ua hana no‘eau ‘ia e Palani
Kīnohinohi lua ke ‘ike aku
Ka ‘alohi o ka nani o ke kaimana
Mea ‘ē ‘o ka nani ka‘u ‘ike
Me he ala ‘o ka hōkū welowelo
Ma ka ‘ili kai o ka Pākīpika
Ke lawe ‘ia lā e ke kiakolu
E ka laina moku ahi o ka hema
Ku‘u ‘ia lā i pau pono kō nani
A i la‘i ka nohona a o ka wahine
A i ‘ike mai ai kō lāhui
A i kō lā nui, hao ā pa‘ihi
Ha‘ina ‘ia mai ana ka puana
‘O Kapi‘olani i ka ‘iu o luna
From Italy comes your beautiful necklace
And the fine gems of your crown
They were skillfully assembled in France
With twice as much ornamentation seen
The diamond sparkles in all its beauty
So marvelously beautiful to me
It is like a shining comet
Over the surface of the Pacific Ocean
It was brought hither by a three-masted ship
By a liner of the west
Let your beauty be seen in its fullness
And may peace follow the woman everywhere
Let your people see you
Beautifully adorned on your great day
(Coronation day)
This ends my song of praise
For Kapi‘olani so high above
Indeed a beautifully composed mele and glimpse into the time and majesty of Queen Kapi'olani..absolutely mazing stuff! Malie and indeed mafa..fa'afetai tele lava, mahalo nui loa, thank you very much Kaumaka'iwa Kanakaole for singing to life this beautiful rendition, as well as to MAC for sharing it widely with the rest of us!
Here's a great link to the source I found, the 94th Annual Kamehameha Schools Song Contest: ftpcontent4.worldnow.com/khnl/specials/2014kssc_prog.pdf
I agree totally
My wife is Hawaiian ive been around. This beautiful culture for 25 years now. And this is so on point. And so beutiful thank you.
Mahalo Nui
Amene
Absolutely heavenly , Kaumakaiwa. Your Tutu would be so proud of you .
I love this oli and mele.
absolute chicken skin!... what can i say but, thank you for such a beautiful song, and that awesome voice... it takes me back home to the islands. thank you for sharing that song and your talent... always be in by heart.
beautifully sung, being born and raised on the islands, now living in the midwest.. you tend to appreciate this, I'm feeling proud. Mahalo for sharing to the world.
Lopaka was amazing as was Sean , the guys and the halau. We were in Hawai`i for this concert on the lawn at the Bishop Museum. In addition to the great music, we had some great "talk story" from him as well. Mahalo nui loa to everyone for the fantastic evening!
I love Kaumakaiwa Kanaka'ole's style of singing. Her mother is an amazing singer too. Love this song.
So, so beautiful; brings tears to the makas... even though I don't understand the Hawaiian words. Thank you, Kaumakaiwa, for what you has been bestowed upon you from your Kanakaole ohana and having learned from them to bring to the future. Loves it!
this song gives me the chills. don't think i could ever get tired of listening to her enchanting voice
Just beautiful absolutely beautiful.
I listened to Gabby sing this off a little cassette for 29 years stuck in the snowy northwoods. Your version is soo lovely. Mahalo nui
Kaumakaiwa has the most stunningly beautiful voice and her spoken songs and falsetto are amazingly superb....
Thank you all for keeping the Waipahu Plantation Village the honorable place it is. And, to the Board of Directors of WPV, thank you for your time making WPV better each year.
this sends shivers down my spine.. I have no idea what he is singing about, but it sounds absolutely amazing.
I listen often to this and always it's like the first time. It takes me home. Her beauty, her humor, her incomparable voice, Hawaii's beautiful spirit.
Oh my oh my. This is spectacular. Those who have not heard Kaumakaiwa or seen him dance, you will find him an amazing talent. Choke talent in that `ohana. Mahalo for making the video available to the world. Please see him or Halau o Kekuhi whenever you get the opportunity. We drove from Cleveland, OH to Wolf Trap in Vienna, VA to see them and it was worth every mile we drove.
Me ke aloha,
Auntie Wanda
Cleveland, OH
Kaumakaiwa Kanakaole you are a beautiful person, it was a pleasure for Mexico and for all the people how could share your music last night.
Beautifully Sung...Hold on to your Hawaiian Heritage Forever...do not lose it in these modern times that are so crazy...
the first part was "Oli" chant.
Kaumakaiwa should definitely release this on his next CD, or as a single. it's absolutely beautiful, I get chicken skin everytime i hear it.
Today I have discovered three things new and very beautiful to me: this voice, this song and this music. Thank you.
BEAUTIFUL!! You can feel every word of the song through her voice. So Spiritual and Amazing!! Love it!
His voice!
Her voice... she identifies as female now.
Kaumakaiwa is the most beautiful male singer you will ever hear from Hawaii...he performed at the Woodford Folk Festival and he was amazing....:)
She sings with such feeling. Absolutely beautiful. Mahalo.Aloooha
So blessed to have Kaumakaiwa as my kumu hula!
Kaumakaiwa Kanaka'ole is just so amazing!
Just beautiful
From Hula St. on Oahu, our deepest ALOHA NUI LOA......KALANI APII ST...
i don understand a word,. but i lked it.. music have no language.. nice 1
Very beautiful. 💖💖💖💖
Mahalos for sharing
Listening to his comments in Hawaiian (or one of the Polynesian languages) makes me wish there was a way to learn Hawaiian for Hoales! Great voice! Thanks for posting.
Have lived on islands 12 years, immediately drawn to 'olelo and wanting to learn as way to honor and respect the culture. Best on'line lessons that I have found for those just beginning is at ksdl.ksbe.edu/kulaiwi/. Can listen to anytime 24-7 and repeat anytime at your own convenience. Also took up traditional 'ukulele class jam style and learning much there. Hope this is helpful! Malama Pono!
malamaponomau Mahalo nui loa!
Nani nō ho‘i kona leo. Ua hā‘awi mai i ka ‘ili moa kona hīmeni ‘ana. Mahalo a nui!
just beautiful, the sounds..thank you for sharing this with us.
❤️Beautiful son of Hawaii with a spirit and voice to match, mahalo nui for working to preserve the ancient treasures of your precious culture. ❤️
You are the most beautiful lady, the most beautiful voice and the most beautiful message i've ever heard, i love you and hope to meet you 1 day!! So beautiful!!
Does anyone know what events in Hawai'ian history this reflects? People involved? Who came from Italy and who song was written by? Mahalo nui to whomever can respond to this. Thoroughly enjoyed Kaumakaiwi role in Living Waters!
It was written for Kapi‘olani's coronation. It speaks of her crown that was made in Italy.
Mahalo Nui!
You Understand What This Guy Is Saying?
Absolutely beautiful is the expression of affection through song, Hawai'i no ka 'oi! - Mahalo
This is so great.It remind me a little of Native Americans when they dance and sing around the bonfires.They just express whats in their mind and soul,without thinking about whether it sound stupid.I love it.
thanxs so much for so so much for a wonderful song ...............
Wow! That was like a warm breeze blowing in your face while watching the sun rise....just lovely in every way.

Kaumakaiwa Kanaka'ole is such a treasure! I can listen to him all day long.
WHO GIVES A STUFF HOW HE IDENTIFIES!!!! ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
His mother is a beautiful exponent of Hawaiian chants also
Well, Kaumakaiwa cares, and it's unfair to misgender her. She is mahu and identifies as female. No matter how many people insist it can't be true, it is. So... much respect to her, and my deepest thanks for the oli and her beautiful interpretation of this mele.
omg .. chicken skin... im officially home sick... & merrie monarch is right around the corner... :O) beautiful, amazing voice aunty...
Said it 10 months ago and say it again "beautiful voice"!
So beautifully Hawaiian. Love your voice.

Mai `Italia Ko Lei Nani” Lyrics
Mai Italia ko lei nani
O ka opu’u liko o ke kalaunu.
Ua hana no’eau ia e Palani
Kinohinohi lua ke ‘ike aku,
Ka alohi o ka nani o ke kaimana,
Mea e o ka nani ka’u ike.
Me he ala o ka hoku welowelo
Ma ka ili kai o ka Pakipika.
Ke lawe ia la e ke kiakolu,
E ka laina moku ahi o ka hema.
Ku’u ia la i pau pono ko nani
A i la’i ka nohona a o ka wahine.
A i ike mai ai ko lahui,
A i ko la nui, hao a pa’ihi.
Haina ia mai ana ka puana
O Kapiolani, i ka ‘iu o luna
AND WOW, i just realized the guitarist is playing a guitar strung for a right handed person but he's playing it left handed, thats pretty neat.
True emotion, can feel the sadness and love! Enjoy this very much XXOO
