静かに流れてく big river
海に向かう夕暮れのテラス
息使いも潮の香りにまかせて
あてもなくたどりついた場所で
時間に追われる事もなく
海鳥達が飛ぶ空のようになりたい
Oh 終わらない Sun set
今はこのままで Baby
つつまれていたいから
Oh 終わらない Sun set
思い出なげすてて
Baby 夜に眠れる勇気がほしいから

街がライトにゆれはじめる
夜をかなでる Night Angel
誰もが不安な
気持ちをしまい込んでる
Oh 終わらない Sun set
今はこのままで Baby
つつまれていたいから
Oh 終わらない Sun set
思い出なげすてて Baby
夜に眠れる勇気がほしいから

さみしがりやを気取って
ふさぐのもいいさ
別の僕を夢見てた本当の僕
Oh 終わらない Sun set
今はこのままで Baby
つつまれていたいから
Oh 終わらない Sun set
思い出なげすてて Baby
夜に眠れる勇気がほしいから
Oh 終わらない Sun set
今はこのままで Baby
つつまれていたいから
Oh 終わらない Sun set
思い出なげすてて Baby
夜に眠れる勇気がほしいから
Oh 終わらない Sun set Baby
つつまれていたいから
Oh 終わらない Sun set Baby
眠れる勇気がほしいのさ

Overall Meaning

The song "終わらないSun Set" by 吉川晃司 (Akira Kawakami) is about the desire to enjoy life's simple pleasures and to find peace in the present moment, away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The opening lines paint a picture of a calm and soothing river flowing towards the ocean, as the singer sits on a terrace watching the sunset. The smell of the sea and the sound of the birds flying overhead add to the tranquil ambiance, making the singer yearn to be like the birds and live without the pressure of time.

As the night sets in, the city lights start to flicker, creating a glittering backdrop for the night angel who sings the melody of the night. However, despite the magical atmosphere, everyone is carrying their own fears and anxieties, holding them close to their hearts. The singer longs to be held in the moment forever, to be surrounded by the comfort and security that the sunset provides, throwing away memories that hinder his ability to feel at peace in the present.

The final lines of the chorus reveal the singer's true desire. He wants to be held in the arms of the endless sunset, surrounded by its warmth, so that he can find the courage to sleep at night without fear. The song highlights the universal need for people to find peace and comfort in the chaos of daily life.
