Her family moved from one city to another many times. She grew up listening to her father Mike Acevedo, a well-known songwriter and singer from San Sebastian. Singing is what she learned from her parents, singing anywhere & everywhere.

At the age of 14, after two years living in Mexico City, Mimi returned to Puerto Rico for good. In 1987, she started jamming with local bands, untill her brother Niguel influenced her into Metal Music; and they formed a band.

But things were about to change... she met an Argentinian musician from Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, saxophone player Sergio Rotman. After a coupe of years of friendship, the relation grew, they fell in love, and started to travel together anywhere! Sergio invited Mimi to form a band with him, so she decided to go South, to Buenos Aires.

Comienzo Final
Mimi Maura Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Una lagrima en tu cara
fue demasiado dolor
la noche que nunca terminaba
invito a salir el sol
y fue tal vez
nuevo un comienzo
y fue tal vez un final
procesión de madrugada

junto al gallo cantor
grieta en el cielo,
puerta hacia el otro mundo
el cielo sabe, nunca termina
hay hay hay
como me duele saber si no vendrás
hay hay hay
como me falta tu amor
sabes
volar
conocer mas allá
viajar
sin descansar jamás
ecos de tiempos olvidados
se hacen presente otra vez
anhelos eternos, deseos a dios dados
camino estrecho
ya no se puede
volver atrás
como si nada paso
continuar
meterse en la oscuridad
tan mal
no esta

saber mirar
la luna vela los caminos...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Mimi Maura's song Comienzo Final paint a picture of a dark and painful moment in someone's life. The singer describes a tear on someone's face that reveals the overwhelming pain they were feeling. The night seemed endless but eventually the sun rose, and perhaps it represented a new beginning, or maybe it was the end. The procession in the early hours of the morning with the crowing rooster hinted at something ominous, like a doorway into another world. The singer acknowledges that the sky knows that nothing ever truly ends, yet there's a sense of heartache and longing in the lyrics, as if someone is missing from the singer's life.

The song speaks of the desire to fly and explore beyond what is known, but the echoes of forgotten times keep coming back, reminding the singer of their unfulfilled desires and hopes given to God. The path ahead is narrow, and there's no turning back, as if the singer is forced to move forward even though they are unsure of where it leads. The moon becomes a comforting presence, watching over the journey ahead.

Overall, the lyrics express the pain of loss while providing a glimmer of hope for a new beginning. The song's melancholic tone and introspective lyrics make it an emotive and thought-provoking piece.
