An idea hit upon me to explain the word "setsunai" simply.
"Setsunai" is "sad but beautiful" feeling.
For example, we Japanese people often feel "setsunai" when we look at the red sky of sunset in the end of a day.
Another example is this song itself.

Boku no negai wa tatta hitotsu dake

When we come to this melody line, I think many people feel sad but impressed by its beauty. This is just "setsunai" melody line.
