I'm terrible at remembering song names, especially for Bulgarian folk music, because I've heard them at various events, but rarely was told the names of the pieces.
SInce I couldn't think of anything in particular I searched here on youtube. The search term for "български женски хор" (Bulgarian women's choir) worked pretty well.
Here are some of the better, in my opinion, results:
Женски народен хор „Шевица“ с диригент Соня Чакърова – „Море, чича рече”
Bulgarian folklor- Kaval sviri
Женски хор Ваня Монева | МОСТ НА НEБЕСАТА | Божия Мост 15.05.2021 [4K]
Хор Нуша - "Пустоно лудо и младо" (На живо) | Nusha Choir - "Pustono ludo i mlado" (Live)
Here's also results from a few other searches, one that gave good results was adding the word "народен" (essentailly meaning folklore) to the Bulgarian women's choir:
Женски народен хор „Шевица“ - диригент Соня Чакърова – „Море, чича рече”
Le Mystere des voix Bulgares - Bulgarian choir 3 songs
Hope that helps.

Opening chant (Medieval Japanese / Bulgarian Choral Harmony):
吾が舞へば、麗し女、ゑひにけり || A ga maeba, kuwashime yoinikeri || As I danced, the beautiful lady became intoxicated
吾が舞へば、照る月、響むなり || A ga maeba, terutsuki toyomunari || As I danced, the brilliant moon echoed the sounds
夜這いに、神、天下りて || Yobai ni, kami amakudarite || Proposing a marriage, the god(s) plunges into the earth
夜は明け、鵺鳥、鳴く|| Yo wa ake, nuedori naku || The night sky clears, and the nightingale cries
遠神恵賜「遠くの神が恵みを垂れてくださる」|| Tou kami emi tame || May the god(s) bless us beyond the end

Fun fact: This was based on traditional Bulgarian choir singing, specifically from a wedding song, with the lyrics
translated tofrom a Japanese wedding chant (credit: WarpRulez, several others).Added on (mentioned by Spooky):
Specifically, it was based on the song "Pilentze Pee", of which the best known version is sung by the Bulgarian State Television Female Vocal Choir.

Translation
Because I had danced, the beautiful lady was enchanted
Because I had danced, the shining moon echoed
Proposing marriage, the god shall descend
The night clears away and the chimera bird will sing
Because I had danced, the beautiful lady was enchanted
Because I had danced, the shining moon echoed
Proposing marriage, the god shall descend
The night clears away and the chimera bird will sing
