Xena Opening Theme

The opening theme to Xena was composed by Joseph LoDuca. It features Bulgarian chanting (translated from Lo Duca's English lyrics) behind the classic narration.

''Jenata iazdi samotna Neinoto minalo srazi ia Sreshtu voiskite ot tumen sviat Vouva za dobra tia

Rogovi zvunove idvat "Napriate put na voina! Tupani biat vuv ritum Princhesata a pak tuka!''

Which translates to:

''The Warrior Princess rides alone. Her past drives her from shame. Against the forces of a dark world She fights for good, not for fame.

Horns sound her coming, blare her name. Make way the Warrior! Cheer! Drums beat a rhythm Let villains beware The Warrior Princess is here!''

This is overlaid by the narrative: In a time of ancient gods, warlords and kings A land in turmoil cried out for a hero. She was Xena, a mighty princess forged in the heat of battle. The power. The passion. The danger. Her courage will change the world
