Sonia Dersion's song "Compas" is a Creole-style compas song that speaks to the experiences of women. The lyrics celebrate women who have overcome hardships and challenges, acknowledging that the lives of all good women include both joys and sorrows. The song encourages women to stand up, be strong, and continue pursuing their goals, despite the obstacles they might face.
The song begins with the singer laughing at life's sweetness and urging listeners not to worry because women who have faced adversity always know how to handle suffering. The chorus praises women who are upright, bold, and beautiful, urging them to continue to move forward and not to be trapped by difficulties. The song then recounts a painful experience when the singer realized that what she had believed to be true was not, but reminds listeners that acceptance is necessary in moving forward. The message is that experiences can be transcended with hard work, hope, and determination.
In addition to the powerful message conveyed in the lyrics, "Compas" has a catchy melody that showcases Sonia Dersion's vocal range and the rhythm of compas music. The song has become a beloved classic in creole communities, and Dersion has been considered one of the top voices in the genre. "Compas" has also garnered a loyal fan base in Haiti, the singer's birthplace.
