Hui:
Kilakila ʻo Haleakalā
Kuahiwi nani o Maui
Haʻaheo wale ʻoe Hawaiʻi
Hanohano Maui nō ka ʻoi

Kauhale o Kaʻaoʻao
ʻIke aku iā Kilohana
Kāua i ke one heʻeheʻe
Me nā alanui kīkeʻekeʻe

Kau ana lā kau ana
Kau ana ko ia ala maka
ʻO ua lio holo peki
Mea ʻole ko ia ala holo



Chorus:
 Majestic Haleakalā
Beautiful mountain of Maui
Prized by you, Hawaiʻi
Glorious Maui, is the very best

Kaʻaoʻao is our home
That looks upon Kilohana
You and I on the sliding sands
And zigzagging pathways

Settling there, settling there
That one's gaze is fixed
Oh, that prancing horse
Its gait is of no importance
