I.
Bertran, si fossetz tant gignos                                
que saubessetz lo mieils triar                                 
d’aisso qez eu·s vuoill demandar,                               
tenssons fora ben de nos dos;                                  
digatz cal ant plus pretz cabal,                                
li Lombart o li Provensal,                                      
cals razonatz ni tenetz per plus pros                           
per mieils faire gerra, conduich ni dos.                        

II. 
Raimon, d’estas doas razos                                     
qe·m partetz la cals mieiller par,                              
l’una pren, l’autra lais estar;                                 
lombartz vuoill esser ad estros                                 
car de Proenssa no me cal,                                     
per q’ieu chausisc sai car mais val                            
Lombardia, on trob cavalliers bos,                            
francs e cortes, e·m platz lor messios.                        
 
III.
Bertran, al mieu entendemen                                   
chausit avetz la sordeior;                                     
trop son plus ric gerrejador                                    
li Proenssal e plus valen                                       
per gerra e per mession;                                       
tolon la terra a·N Symon                                      
e·il demandon la mort a lor seignor                            
et al comte cuich que rendra s’onor.                           
 
IV.
Raimon, trop lor datz d’onramen,                               
q’a Belcaire en lor honor                                      
lor fetz Symons tant de paor                                   
e si eron dos tans de gen,                                     
enapres a gran mespreison                                     
renderon li sa garnison,                                        
per q’en totz faitz sont li Lombart meilllor                    
e plus honrat e mieils combatedor.                              
 
V.
Bertran, a doble vos envit                                     
de la tenzon que razonatz,                                      
que lai es proes’ e barnatz                                     
mantengutz, largues’ e convit,                                   
lai donon cavals e destriers                                    
e fant rics conduitz e pleniers,                                
en Lombardia podetz ben, si·us platz,                            
morir de fam si deniers non portatz.                           
 
VI.
Raimon, fort avetz joc marrit,                                 
que, qand es perdutz l’envidatz,                                
sai son plus donador assatz:                                    
e·il Lombart son mais issernit                                
qu’il dan cavals, draps e deniers,                              
e·ls tenc d’armas plus fazendiers                               
qe·ls Proensals que vos tant me lauzatz,                        
e sai es hom plus soven convidatz.                              
 
VII.
Bertran, de tot avetz gran tort,                               
que lai a trobadors prezans                                     
que sabont far e vers e chans,                                  
tenssos, sirventes e descort;                                   
e lai son las dompnas de pretz,                                 
que l’una cuich q’en val ben detz                               
de Lombardas, mas qe sont femnas grans                         
c’a penas neis sabon far bels semblans.                         
 
VIII.
Raimon, aissi non a conort                                     
q’ieu ja vos en sia contrastans,                                
car li Lombart d’aitals bobans                                 
no·is plazon ni d’aital deport,                                 
car vos mezeus, si vos voletz,                                  
atresi conoisser devetz,                                        
que de las dompnas nais lo grans engans                         
c’alz maritz fant noirir autrui enfans.
