The song celebrates the power of love and friendship, and as we learn from the lyrics, these themes create a life impermeable to sadness or hardship. The song mentions many different types of alcohol, from “brandy” to “beer”, and urges us to drink to the “honor” of our friends and family. The song is an ode to the strong bonds that form when celebrating life’s joys with others, and is meant to remind us that no matter what, we will always have each other. The chorus is a reassurance that we should not be susceptible to feeling the pain of the world, and that we can find solace in our bonds of love and friendship. In the end, “Kunnia” is a lively and heartfelt tribute to the joy of celebrating life with those we care about.
