Molly Malone – Balade irlandaise is an album by French singer-songwriter Renaud, released on 23 November 2009 on EMI Records.

It is a collection of traditional-style Irish folk songs translated into French, an idea that had been maturing in Renaud's mind for almost two decades.

[1] It was produced by Frenchman Thomas Davidson Noton and arranged and mixed by Irish musician Pete Briquette, formerly the bass player with The Boomtown Rats.

[1] Despite mixed reviews in the press, Molly Malone – Balade irlandaise entered the French charts at number one in November 2009.

[6] In Télérama the reviewer harshly wrote: But his painful voice generates such interfering sound that you forget everything else, the pretty melodies and texts that contain some inspired French translations.
