Ua ho’i ke ao kōkōli‘i ma Mauna Leo,
mumule ka pahu ahimakani o Milu mai Kahului mai.
Hō‘ā ke ahi lele ‘ē i nā kūkaekōlea, 
ke ho’okakano nei i ka mauli o Kanahā. 
Pō‘ele‘ele ‘o Mau‘oni i ka ua halahala,
malumalu ‘ia nā ae‘o e ka papa makaloa.

Black clouds have returned to Mauna Leo; 
Milu’s fuel tanks from Kahului are mute.
The weeds burn and spread,
threatening the essence of Kahahā.
Bitter rains have extinguished Mau‘oni,
makaloa flats shielding the ae‘o.
