Kuahiwi nani ʻoe Haleakalā

Kaulana hoʻi ʻoe kū kilakila

ʻO Makawao ia ua kaulana

I kāohi ia iho o ka lāʻau

He ʻŪkiu e ka ua o ka ʻāina

Me ka makani aheahe ʻoluʻolu

E aho no ʻoe a e komo mai
A e hoʻolaʻi ka malu o ke ao

Puana ka inoa i lohe ʻia

Kuahiwi nani ʻoe Haleakalā

You are a beautiful mountain, Haleakalā

You are famous and stand majestically

 

At Makawao, this rain is well known

It falls gently on the trees

 

ʻŪkiu is the name of the rain of this land

Here the wind is soft and cool

You should come in
Relax in the shade of the clouds

Tell the name so that it can be heard
You are a beautiful mountain, Haleakalā
