air

The first thing we have to do to be able to thoroughly analyze the term air that we are dealing with now is to determine its etymological origin. In this case, we would have to emphasize that it emanates from a Latin word, which also comes from the Greek word ero, which can be translated as "up" or "lift."

The air is the gaseous mixture that forms the earth's atmosphere. Beyond the water vapor that appears in different proportions, this fluid is composed of 78 parts of nitrogen, 21 parts of oxygen and one of argon and other similar gases, along with a few hundredths of carbon dioxide.

The term is used, by extension, to name the general atmosphere and to wind. For example: "A very dense smoke darkened the air and made it impossible to see beyond the nose", "A factory was denounced for polluting the air of the town with its industrial activity", "The pilot flew through the air after the crash and ended up hitting the pavement", "I'm going to close the door because a draft is coming in and it's cold".

Air also allows you to name the similar or likeness Come in people or things: "That man has an air of Uncle Luis", "The new album of the band has an air to the productions of the decade of the '70".

Within the musical field the term air is also used. In your case, it is used to refer to the slowness with which the performance of a composition is carried out.

Precisely within this field we would have to underline the existence of a song called “Aire” and that has become one of the most important of those released by the prestigious group Mecano. In 1984 it was specifically when this composition was published, made by José María Cano, which is part of the pop genre.

The story that this song tells us is that of a person who is trapped in the world of drugs and who will finally be so hooked on them that he will not find a way out to return to his normal life. Therefore, he will make the decision to commit suicide.

However, there is also another Spanish composition called “Aire” and that, in the same way, became a great success during the 80s. In this case, the same one, which is characterized by its danceable style, It was interpreted by the singer Paco Marín, who with her also achieved great success in Latin America.

The concept, on the other hand, names the appearance, the style wave vanity someone's: "The beach got a new look thanks to the sanitation works", "I don't know who she thinks she is: she gives herself the air of a queen and needs help paying the rent".

In colloquial language, an air can be a momentary and fleeting paralysis: "He gave me an air in the back and I was hard", "I think I will not be able to go to play football this afternoon because it gave me an air and it is difficult for me to walk".
