Uyghur folk dance (Mirajikhan)

Uyghur folk song & dance
Uyghur dances demonstrate diligence, bravery, openness and optimism. Uyghur folk dances are distinguished by head and wrist movements. Their clever coordination is enhanced by the typical posture of tilted head, thrust chest and erect waist. The dances, Sanam in particular, express the Uygurs' feelings and character. The fast turns of Uygur folk dances emphasize speed and are followed by an abrupt stop, like a soaring eagle that stops suddenly. The various dances all have their own turns. A turning contest brings the dance to its climax. There are special tempi for various Uygur folk dances, but syncopation and dotted rhythms are prominent features in many. Sanam is the most popular folk dance among all the Uygurs. At weddings, on festive occasions and at parties people invariably dance Sanam.
Dolan dance is an ancient Uygur folk dance popular in parts of Kashgar and Aksu area. Dolan is an ancient name for Uygurs living in several places in the Tarim Basin. Dolan is said to describe hunting. However, some people say this dance depicts a battle.
Sama, a form of group dance for Newruz (Uyghur New Year) and other festivals, is popular Uyghur dance especially in Kashgar and Kucha area. Originally Sama was the name of a primitive religion among ancient Uygurs. People would pray to gods of nature for hunting and harvest by singing, beating drums and dancing at the command of the ritual leader Sama. This ritual ceremony gradually turned into group entertainment for Newruz and other festivals, then evolved into a solo performed on festive occasions. The dance and its musical accompaniment have been included in the third part of the Twelve Muqam.

it's my very favorit Uyghur song! is it possible that you would send me the lyrics? I would really love to read it and memorise it, but it's difficult to "hear" it when I can't speak Uyghur. I would be really thankful! Best regards from Poland
