Qu'est ce que j'oublie dans ma valise

What Am I Forgetting in My Suitcase
Before heading off on vacation
I packed without suspicion
A suitcase like every year
I think I put everything in there
There are my tennis rackets
My sneakers
My cassette player
Whoops, I'm forgetting something
There's my bike
My pen
Half a ham hock
Whoops, I'm forgetting something
I emptied all my closets
I turned over all my drawers
I left nothing to chance
Yet it seems strange to me
There are my scarves
My handkerchiefs
My little black outfit
Whoops, I'm forgetting something
There are my towels
My palette
And my roller skates
Whoops, I'm forgetting something
Vacations are great
Anywhere in France
There are the little birds
That wake you up early in the morning
And the little ants
That sneak into your bed
It's nice to dream but let's be clear
I feel like there's a mystery looming
I have a clear and precise feeling
That something is missing from my suitcase
There are my shoes
My belt
A pear that's a bit too ripe
Whoops, I'm forgetting something
There's my beret
My beanie
My nice turtleneck sweater
Whoops, I'm forgetting something
Exhausted, I decided
Once again to empty everything
It would truly be lamentable
If I forgot the essential
There's the shark bone
For my dog
The photo of Sébastien
Whoops, I'm forgetting something
There are my dolls
My TV
My pretty golden jacket
Whoops, there I found it
And my red and yellow polka dot socks
And my red socks...
