Which is the best of these three well-known French songs?

[Tooting Carmen]

Ne me quitte pas is the most intense song of French "repertoire" (repertory)

Je ne regrette rien (I don't regret anything) is famous of Edith Piaf, but it is a similar theme like "My Way", it's not about breaking-up your love

If you are looking for other melancholy love song, this one is famous "Et si tu n'existais pas" (If you didn't exist) :

Funnily enough, more than many other French songs, that translates EXTREMELY well into Spanish!

[Nurzat]

best of the three: Ne me quitte pas.

though those R's in Brel's and Piaf's songs are hard to bear

[gixajo]

Je t´aime (moi non plus) & Ne me quitte pas "both in equal measure".

Comme la vague irrésolue
Je vais, je vais et je viens
Entre tes reins
Je vais et je viens
Entre tes reins
Et je me retiens

Laisse-moi devenir
L'ombre de ton ombre
L'ombre de ta main
L'ombre de ton chien
Mais...
Ne me quitte pas

[Tooting Carmen]

I have a little preference for Serge Gainsbourg even i don't like all completly, but he was playing with words with subtext insinuations and musically it wasn't to bad,too

like : le requiem pour un con
