Kaulana ke kuahiwi aʻo Haleakalā
Mākaʻikaʻi mau ia la e nā malihini

Ke alanui keʻekeʻe mai lalo aʻo luna
He mea ola ia ala i ke kamaʻāina

Kau mai la e ka ʻohu i ke ala hele
A me ka ua hu`i koni koni hoi i ka ili

Haʻina ʻia mai ana ka puana
Kaulana ke kuahiwi aʻo Haleakalō




Famous mountain of Haleakalâ
Constantly visited by tourists

Be cautious of the winding road that goes down and up
That you may survive the drive as the locals

The winding road is like a vapor trail
And the falling rain, chilling and numbing

Tell the refrain
Famous mountain of Haleakalā
