Lyrics and Hawaiian Gloss
Verse 1
From Haleakalā, to the ocean blue,
Maui, our home, our gratitude for you.
Land of abundance, where the fruits grow sweet,
Mango, papaya, a tropical treat.
Chorus
Mahalo nui, Maui, for your gentle grace,
In every blossom, in every sacred place.
Mahalo, for the music, a sweet island sound,
Love and aloha, forever profound.
Verse 2
The moana calls, with its powerful might,
For lawaiʻa and heʻe nalu, day and night.
Challenges and triumphs, the ocean provides,
Where the spirit of adventure, truly resides.
Chorus
Mahalo nui, Maui, for your gentle grace,
In every blossom, in every sacred place.
Mahalo, for the music, a sweet island sound,
Love and aloha, forever profound.
Bridge
The ea whispers, through the pua so bright,
Frangipani, pikake, a fragrant delight.
Birdsong and laughter, fill the island air,
A symphony of beauty, beyond compare.

Mahalo nui, Maui, for your gentle grace,
In every blossom, in every sacred place.
Mahalo, for the music, a sweet island sound,
Love and aloha, forever profound.

For Maui, our island, through all of our days.
