Eighteen of his lyric works survive, as well as seventy-two (Gaunt and Kay) or ninety-four (Riquer) single coblas triadas esparsas on "edifying" themes.
His sirventes by the name of Tans ricx clergues vey trasgitar is an attack on false clerics.
But only in the canso Atressi fay gran foldat qui ab sen does Bertran betray real emotion.
Drawing, evidently, from a personal experience, the troubadour laments his foolishness and his lack of judgement in kissing a girl on the eyes who had fallen asleep before the altar in a church.
Besides his cansos and sirventes, Bertran left behind one planh and two artificial tensos, one with a fictional knight and another with his own heart.
