 The theme song for "Xena: Warrior Princess" was a modified version  of "Kaval Sviri (The Flute Plays)" from "Le Mystere Des Voix  Bulgares". In the original "Hercules: The Legendary Journeys"  episode where Xena was introduced, the original Kaval Sviri was the  music used to announce Xena racing into battle. The Yale Womens  Slavic Chorus did an excellent rendition of the song on their  website(http://www.yale.edu/ysc/media.htm), which also includes a  translation: the song is a young womans declaration of love for a  stranger playing pipes in a village. According to the YWSC, its  lyrics are translated as, "A piper is playing in the village.  Mother, if that piper is from our village, I will love him from  today till tomorrow around noon. If he is from a neighboring  village, though, Ill love him my whole life."
