Hanohano ʻo Maui mai kinohi mai
Kuahiwi kilakila o Haleakalā
Maikaʻi na hono aʻo Piʻilani
Haʻaheo ʻo Maui nani Lanikēhau
Uluwehi ka hiʻona o na wai
ʻeha
Na wai kaulana ma ke komohana
Wai miliani ʻia e ka malu o ke ao
Haʻaheo ʻo Maui ʻāina kamahaʻo
Kaulana e ka ua Lanihaʻaha`a
Ke kupa aiwaiwa nani la aʻo Hana
ʻAnoʻai Kaʻuiki au i ke kai
Haʻaheo ʻo Maui ka waiʻanapanapa
Puana ka wehi hoʻohenoheno
No ka pua miulana nani i ka hano
Me ʻoe ka welina o kuʻu aloha
Haʻaheo ʻo Maui nani Lanikeha
| Regal has Maui been from its
With majestic Haleakalā, an
imposing sight
And the charming bays of
Piʻilani
Maui is stately with sublime
beauty
Lush with verdure are four
towns
Well known towns of West
Maui
Towns fondly caressed by
sheltering skies
Maui is stately with wonders
untold
Famous is the rain pouring from
low skies
Ethereal native of Hana
Greetings to Kaʻuiki reaching
into the sea
Maui is famed for the waters
that sparkle
Now ends my song of
adulation
To the lovely muilana hereby
honored
To you, my warm
greetings
Maui, you are stately and
supremely beautiful
