Sean Na'auao - Ka Ipo Lei Manu

[@liliuokalani7064]

This is my all time favorite song, which I love the story behind its composition by our Queen Kapiʻolani to our King Kalākaua. I love Dennis Pavaoʻs rendition as well.

Mahalo no keia mele... he nani no! Hoolohe au me ka mana'ona'o pu i ka na'au o Kuini Kapiolani i kona haku 'ana i keia mele no kana 'iwi polena pono'i... Aue ke Aloha e!

My mom taught me this dance, it's so beautiful. Joyful tears to my eyes.

Walked down the aisle to this song for my wedding. Love it!

[@Kekamalei]

I believe the merry monarch would have loved this!

One of Hawai'i's many beautiful mele aloha. You can never go wrong with Hawaiian songs.

[@vidrawsstuff]

My mom use to have most of his albums. It was nice to hear someone so nostalgic.

This version best depicts what this song is all about! I have to research what the translation is in English, but, I didnt need the english lyrics to speak to me and touched my heart. Heavenly voice and it speaks to my heart

[@Ntyhari01]

beautiful melody....love his magical voice...I love this song..Mahalo

I have heard other expressions of this song, but this one...this one touches me like no other. The depth of love expressed by the composer of the song for her beloved and the unassuaged tenderness of her longing for him at his passing while away from her is all embodied in the gentleness of Sean’s singing.

Wow! Beautiful.

[@viviennevine5197]

Sean must be a very special man to be able to portray the story, the music and the beautiful blend of music and voices -- I would love to sit at his knee and just listen (I am an 80 yr old lady).

[@kealanisimpson8843]

Always loved this song but never heard it sung this way. What a beautiful blend and rhythm. LOVE it!!!

[@holtink]

[@palaaemiller8811]

Those 23 people who thumbs down on this song and the musician.I what to say to these 23 people 2 things.you have no love in your heart.and you are lost in darkness.

[@faamanatumaka651]

Always in deep emotions with running tears in listening to a deep mele like this, well executed and beautifully sung.

[@claylum56]

One of my old favorites Mele's also...

[@BabyBlue5716]

Love this song especially Sean's beautiful voice♡

[@Wendygirljp]

Such depth of love has not been shown by many composers and performers. To sit here listening to this in tears of sadness for the love of another and the love lost from death of a beloved can not be very well expressed in such depth by many.

[@MrLikeke]

The most beautiful love song in any language.

[@cl5121]

Mahalo for sharing..I have decided to download this song to use in a short educational video on King Kalākaua and Palace Hotel. It touches me

[@JesseJoven]

[@Bobchai]

Written as a poignant love song by Queen Kapi'olani for her husband, King David Kalakaua, when he was away on a voyage to America. He never heard it, because several weeks later he lay dying in a San Francisco hotel room (1891).
