Any reader of this blog who has had children, grandchildren or great-grandchildren getting excitedly ready for Purim will almost certainly be word-perfect when it comes to singing "Purim Day" with its infectious chorus "Hava narisha rash rash rash!". Well, here's a very pretty version of it for unaccompanied ladies' voices.* It was recorded in Romania by the Antifonia Choir conducted by Constantin Ripa and the lyrics go like this:
Purim Day, Purim Day,
Gladsome joyous holiday.
Happy throngs masked and dancing gay.
Havan arisha, rash, rash, rash.
With your gregers play.
It's only 1.24 minutes long and you can listen to it here.
* It is the voices that are unaccompanied, not the women.
