DESCRIPTION:
Lahaina, Maui is celebrated for the Ma'a'a wind, bringing the scent of līpoa from surf where the mermaid, Kananaka, plays in the moonlight. *Lyrics below*

Lyrcis:

`O ka pā mai a ka Ma`a`a
Halihali mai ana lā i ke `ala
He `ala onaona o ka līpoa
Hana `oe a kani pono
Hana `oe a kani pono

Hui:
Nani wale ia pu`e one lā
I ka nalu he`e mai a`o Kananaka
Kahi a mākou a i he`e ai
I ka `ehu`ehu o ke kai
I ka `ehu`ehu o ke kai

`O ka mahina hiki aloalo
Ho`ola`ila`i ana lā i nā pali
Pōhina wehiwehi i ke onaona
Koni ma`e`ele i ke kino
Koni ma`e`ele i ke kino


English Translation:

The blowing of the Ma`a`a wind
Bears with it a fragrance
A sweet scent on the līpoa seaweed
Get to it until you are satisfied
Get to it until you are satisfied

Chorus:
Beautiful indeed in the stretch of sand
With the surf break of Kananaka
Where we had ridden the waves
There amid the spray of the sea
There amid the spray of the sea

The moon reaches its zenith in the sky
Reposing serenely there above the cliffs
A silvery gleam, lush with fragrance
Bringing a throb and a tingle to the body
Bringing a throb and a tingle to the body
