Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bogdana Bulka khubava
Bogdana Bulka khubava
Bogdano Yunak voĭvodo
Zapasa sabya pregiya.
Pa sŭbra verna druzhina
ta sa otishli na Troya.
Skoknala ta pobegnala
Sama ostanala.
A vratari si ideya
bogdana grabna sabyata.
Bogdano Yunak voĭvodo
zapasa sabya pregiya.
Pa sŭbra verna druzhina
Ta sa otishli na Troya.
Skoknala ta pobegnala
Sama ostanala.
The lyrics to Joseph LoDuca's song The Warrior Princess are written in Bulgarian and tell a story about a beautiful and brave girl named Bogdana Bulka. She is being pursued by a group of soldiers led by a young warrior named Bogdano Yunak. He and his loyal soldiers have set out to capture her, but she manages to escape and chooses to face her enemies alone. The song describes a battle between Bogdana and the soldiers, with her proving to be a formidable opponent, as she fights fearlessly and fiercely.
The lyrics also mention the loyalty of her followers and the strength of her character. Even when faced with great danger, she remains resolute and determined. The use of traditional Bulgarian instruments and the incorporation of the Bulgarian language adds to the authenticity of the piece and further emphasizes the cultural significance of the story.
Overall, the song is a beautiful and haunting tribute to the strength and bravery of women. It tells a tale of fierce resistance and fighting against oppression and tyranny, which is the central theme of the television show Xena: Warrior Princess.

Here's what I found elsewhere, and combined it with the phonetic lyrics here:
The Warrior Princess song composed by Joseph LoDuca. It is track 02 on the XWP Soundtrack Volume One
Bogdana, bulka hubava
Bogdana, bulka hubava
Bogdano, yunak voyvodo, zapasla sabya frengiya
Pa sabra verna druzhina, ta sa otishli na Troya
Dum-dum-dum-dum
Dum-dum-dum-dum
Skoknala ta pobegnala, sama ostanala
A vratari si ideya, Bogdana grabna sabyata
Bogdano, yunak voyvodo, zapasla sabya frengiya
Pa sabra verna druzhina, ta sa otishli na Troya
Dum-dum-dum-dum
Dum-dum-dum-dum
Skoknala ta pobegnala, sama ostanala
The lyrics, chanted in the Bulgarian language, are:
Богдана Булка хубава
Богдана Булка хубава
Богдана Булка хубава
Богдано Юнак войводо Запаса сабя прегия.
Па събра верна дружина
та са отишли на Троя.
Скокнала та побегнала
Сама останала.
А вратари си идея
Богдана грабна сабята.
Богдано Юнак войводо
запаса сабя прегия.
Па събра верна дружина
Та са отишли на Троя.
Скокнала та побегнала
Сама останала.
These translate into the English language as:
Bogdana bride beautiful
Bogdana bride beautiful
Bogdana bride beautiful
Bogdano, you brave warrior
She gird a sword around her
And gathered a trusty battalion
they went to Troy.
She jumped and run off
She was left alone.
Then the guards walked away
Bogdana grabed her sword.
Bogdano, you brave warrior
She gird a sword around her
And gathered a trusty battalion
they went to Troy.
She jumped and ran off
She was left alone.

"The text is here written in the Cyrillic and Latin alphabets.
Contrary to popular opinion, these do not translate into the English language as:
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!
[1]
but more accurately translate as:
The woman rides alone,
(Her) past nearly crushed her,
Meeting the armies of the dark world,
Battling in the name of good.
The sound of horns is coming,
Make way for the battle,
Drums beat at (the) rhythm,
(The) Princess is here.
The Bulgarian State Television Female Vocal Choir chants these lyrics.
Narration
This is overlaid by the narration, voiced by Don LaFontaine:
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.
Trivia
The original lyrics were written in the Bulgarian language, which uses the Cyrillic alphabet, and they had to be transliterated to the Latin alphabet before they could be translated into English"
