The Beauty of Mauna Kea

He lei keakea noho mai lā i ka mauna
Ka mauna ki'eki'e i luna kū kilakila
Kilakila no luna
No luna i ke ao

My friend and I would sometimes roam
The trails of Mauna Kea
And in the evening we'd come home
And see her standing there

The moon moves around her when she sleeps
The clouds stand beside her when she weeps
And I could be forgotten and a thousand miles away
And still I would recall the beauty of Mauna Kea

Now to any land you go
She will be with you
If you love her like I do
'O Mauna Kea

And I live in the city now
And I see different things
In the nights when I'm alone
She is in my dreams

The wind spins all around her when she wakes
The sun spreads its warmth across her face
And I could be forgotten and a thousand miles away
And still I would recall the beauty of Mauna Kea

Of Mauna Kea
Of Mauna Kea
