The Warrior Princess rides alone Her past drives her from shame Against the forces of a dark world Shes fights for good ,not for fame Horns sounds her comings, blare her name "Make way the Warrior! Cheer!" Drums beat a rhythm Let villians beware The Warrior Princess is here!

[@TheGlittersparkle]

This is so nostalgic, I remember watching this when I was young and missed it so much. We had some kick ass stuff back in the days. I remember wanting to be a Xena warrior princess myself *sigh* Bloody great music!

@Passions55 OHHHH MY GOD!!! That was hilarious!! You have no idea how long i laughed about that. I think it was the image in my head of someone showing up to someone elses house, kicking the door down, and then proceeding to whoop their ass with this song blaring out of nowhere. Hi--Lariousness!!!

Proszę 🥴😵😵‍💫🤕🤯😷

[@TT-hw6zy]

​@@blackflag2048I'm posting the correct lyrics below, in Bulgarian and in English. In Bulgarian history 16 - 19 century there was a hajduk movement. Bagdana seems to be a leader of one of many hajduk groups. And the lyrics is about her. In wikipedia there is a good article about that movement and what the word hajduk means. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hajduk?wprov=sfla1 In that article there is a part about Balkan point of view, which also is related to the lyrics: In Balkan folkloric tradition, the hajduk (hajduci or haiduci in the plural) is a romanticised hero figure who steals from, and leads his fighters into battle against, the Ottoman authorities. They are comparable to the English legendary Robin Hood and his merry men, who stole from the rich (who as in the case of the haiduci happened to also be foreign occupiers) and gave to the poor, while defying seemingly unjust laws and authority.[citation needed] People that helped hajduks were called jataks. Jataks lived in villages and towns and provided food and shelter for hajduks. In return, hajduks would give them part of the loot. The haiduci of the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries commonly were as much guerrilla fighters against the Ottoman rule as they were bandits and highwaymen who preyed not only on Ottomans and their local representatives, but also on local merchants and travellers. As such, the term could also refer to any robber and carry a negative connotation. Lyrics: Богдана, булка хубава, Богдана, булка хубава, Богдано, Юнак-войводо! Запаса сабя френгия, Па събра верна дружина Та са отишли на Троян. Скокнала та побегнала Сама останала. А татари си идеа Богдана грабна сабята. Богдано, Юнак-войводо! Запаса сабя френгия, Па събра верна дружина Та са отишли на Троян. Скокнала та побегнала Сама останала. ------------------------------------ Bogdana, beautiful bride, Bogdana, beautiful bride, Bogdano, Yunak-voivode! French sword stock, So he gathered a loyal team So they went to Troyan. She jumped and ran Left alone. And Tatars are an idea Bogdana grabbed the saber. Bogdano, Yunak-voivode! French sword stock, So he gathered a loyal team So they went to Troyan. She jumped and ran Left alone.

[@DeeEmStyles]

The pivotal points I instantly recall this song being played is in the episodes "Destiny" when Xena defends herself from Caesar's henchmen and "One Against An Army" where she fends off an entire army in badass warrior princess fashion.

[@onionbro1777]

Brittany Tatman The 90s episodes where they got reincarnated were stupid because they completely forgot who they were. It was the same thing with Callisto/Ares. Are we supposed to assume they forgot their past lives?

I dont think it should have ended with them crucified, but they should have used that for the 20+ year time skip with them being reincarnated into new bodies, with new actresses, instead of Ares freezing them in ice.

[@xAmazonxValkyriex]

It's so sad to me that there aren't any strong, mighty women on television anymore and hardly in films. Something needs to happen, seriously. We can't let the warrior woman fade into the background in pop culture and allow macho men to dominate the screens. Remember Wonder Woman, Leia Organa, Ororo Munroe (Storm), Catwoman, Scarlett O'Hara, and countless others; There's so many, including Xena & Gabrielle. The warrior woman must return to visual media...She's got to...

[@jackoneill45]

@hiddenstrength I believe they have stated that they did the stuff to appeal to lesbians, but they weren't actually lesbians on the show. I figured that made sense anyway, because Xena had so many past loves (and fakes :p) I personally didn't think they needed to do all that stuff, as I always saw it about Xena and Gabrielle's friendship, but it doesn't really bother me that much anyway. On topic of the video,

This song original is Kaval Sviri and Joseph Lo Duca has nothing to compose. Search for Kaval Sviri.

The best song

[@Firewalkerbg]

@VickyLycan Besides, you can read this and that about their religion too, if you want to have an argument. They didn't worship any Greek gods. Their main deity was Sabazios. Other deities were Zalmoxis, Bendis, Kotys, and Zibelthiurdos. Do you wanna learn more or are you going to keep on trying to prove Greek something that was never Greek? You guys set the world spinning, it was spinning even before you.

[@Firewalkerbg]

@VickyLycan I don't have truthful based arguments? I find the work of Alexander Fol and Dumitru Berciua truthful enough an argument. Just as we're stating facts, the name Thrace was given to a Roman province that consisted of several kingdoms. It was never Greek territory as there was no Greece at this time - what you nowadays call Greece at this time was again part of the Roman empire. Don't get me on history, you may prove my use of the word "moron" correct ;)

[@VickyLycan]

@Firewalkerbg on historical facts now!!! they worshiped greek gods ( Dionysus, Zeus, Hera, Apollo etc) and their kings claimed to derive from Hermes. Their coins were greek and even the Romans that you think so highly of, recognize Thrace as a greek territory and they even gave greek names to the cities that they established (it is TRAIANOUPOLIS you know)!!! @ hiddenstrength : sorry for arguing here about this subject! thanks for the upload!

[@VickyLycan]

@Firewalkerbg my honest apologies about the missppell of the word!! ofcourse it is Bulgaria and not Bulgary. Beside the fact that you do not actually have truthful based arguments, you start calling names to other people! i don't know you and that's why i will stand my ground and not go down that way! p.s. did you know that the word "Moron" that you used was coined in 1910 by psychologist H. Goddard from the Ancient Greek word μωρός? well now you know! hope to use it better next time!

[@VickyLycan]

@Firewalkerbg Ladyhellion talked about Thrace in modern Bulgary and I replied that thrace is greek, now zanimas100 pointed that she was talking about the bulgarian part of thrace and since today we are talking about the bulgarian, greek and turkish thrace i totally agreed!!! what is your problem?? and i do have a clue about history!!! but apparently the people who made this fiction show didn't!!!! i mean it is a great show ,we all grew up with it but not exactly historically correct!!!

[@Nimmireth]

@victortiti89 P.S. The cast and crew members by the end of the series said that Xena and Gabrielle were practically married to each other...and just because they had sex with some guys or had sex with each other doesn't make them either lesbian or heterosexual...most people say "they're bisexual," but labels are stupid...they were attracted to who they were attracted to...whatever, get over it.

[@ExoticFireGirl]

@TheGlamorousity we are declaring our age because we are shocked that its been 10 years ago (15 years of age so you ve seen the series 5 years after we did). And that is not as shocking as having 10 years of your life pass without noticing. Nerd = Intellectual Badass! (not everybody thinks this way). Anywya Xena was great. but sooner or later you overgrow it. And then you find Buffy the vampire slayer XD.

[@mattparkman]

@assfinchersaywhat Xena wasnt what one would call a "lesbian", persay. She had male lovers and she enjoyed them. She fell in love with her best friend, who just happened to be a woman. Considering what all the characters had been through together and for each other. The fact that they fell in love makes sense.

[@VickyLycan]

@Firewalkerbg i should also remind you or even better, inform you about Avdera, one of the most important cities in ancient Thrace and its philosophers, Democritos, Lefkippos, and the sophist Protagoras and at last, why do you compare or maybe confuse Romans to Greeks?? not the same civilizations, not even the same era, you know!!!

[@13Bewitched13]

Xena and gabby are soul mates. They have had male lovers but something comes up. So they are bisexual. But Gabby and Xena are ment for each other in every reincarnation. whether they are male and female, female and female, or male and male. That's what i see as i bought and watch the serious. It's not hard to figure out after a couple seasons. end of discussion :)

[@DCfan6767]

I tend to think of xena as bi-sexual. While she was usually attracted to men if there happened to be an exceptional woman around she became attracted to her. Such as Lao Ma or Cyane. Gabrielle of course was extremely exceptional and Xena loved her. Yet Xena has never really had a sexual relationship with a woman as far as we know.

[@TheGlamorousity]

Because It sounds cooler... OMG YES you are referring to Episode 20 season 5, where Gabs & Xena wake up from their 25yr sleep inside the icecaves! That Emperor guy was a bit of a cradle snatcher though... oh well, when in Rome... But DO NOT question the fact she was a greek warrior. Anyone who owns the entire series would know that. *no offense* ...:S :)

Mystery of Bulgarian Voices !!!

[@undertaker343]

@BreezehBree most were yes cause they had different believes different gods not cause they were gay with the today's meaning...they could fight and lead better than most people could in the world back then and i think that's what makes some1 a men not his sexual preferences ;)

[@DCfan6767]

@DCfan6767 Also Xena's seemingly prefrence for women could stem from the disappointments she's experianced with men. Plus I imagine quite a many men are intimated by her. Which is why when you do see her with a man they are usually powerful or dangerous because they are less intimated by her.

[@ExoticFireGirl]

@hiddenstrength ahahaha yes im 21 myself and i was about 10 years old when the series were on TV. I guess you are right, its so cool that the music was bulgaian after all. I was like damn this sounds familiar all the time XD hahaha. I dont even know where to order the series...

[@SoulofPhoenix]

Someones here is Bulgarian? SO they can translate what they are saying? Especially the Chorus that start: 0:40 :-D Please! lol Thanks and I LOVE Xena too!! And I love the Bulgarian song too! It's SO awsome! Make go to start a "fight", if you know what I mean. The kind "Don't give up, fight" lol
