Kuahiwi nani `oe Haleakalä

Kaulana ho`i `oe kü kilakila

`O Makawao ia ua kaulana

I käohi ia iho o ka lä`au

He `ükiu e ka ua o ka `äina

Me ka makani aheahe `olu`olu

E aho no `oe a e komo mai
A e ho`ola`i ka malu o ke ao

Puana ka inoa i lohe `ia

Kuahiwi nani `oe Haleakalä

You are a beautiful mountain, Haleakala

You are famous and stand majestically

 

At Makawao, this rain is well known

It falls gently on the trees

 

`Ükiu 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, Haleakala
