Hui:
Kilakila `o Haleakalâ
Kuahiwi nani o Maui
Ha`aheo wale `oe Hawai`i
Hanohano Maui nô ka `oi

Kauhale o Ka`ao`ao
`Ike aku iâ Kilohana
Kâua i ke one he`ehe`e
Me nâ alanui kîke`eke`e

Kau ana lâ kau ana
Kau ana ko ia ala maka
`O ua lio holo peki
Mea `ole ko ia ala holo



Chorus:
 Majestic Haleakalâ
Beautiful mountain of Maui
Prized by you, Hawai`i
Glorious Maui, is the very best

Ka`ao`ao 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
