The Song I've Been Searching For

I've been trying to find out the name of this Uighur song ever since hearing it several times during my travels in southern XJ. I tried asking people in Hotan who couldn't speak Chinese and wasn't successful; I've asked my Uighur classmates in my Chinese class and evidently mispronounced the word "Yari Gulla" that I heard in the chorus. Out of sheer luck, I just found it on youtube! The version I heard was a man singing it, but this is definitely it.
