Gruberova in variety show skit?

[Drelnis]

First I was pretty convinced this wasn't Edita, then at 0:25 the camera zoomed onto her face and I'm like OMG Edita!!

[swanningaround]

She can pull this off, without being tacky - unlike some modern day sopranos who are. Well done Edita!

[Dondinin]

Edita is so gemütlich here... big sense of humour, and well sung!

[BravaBerganza01]

this so charming! :D I love it! Bravo Edita

[Ctmagnus]

hahaha I have fallen in love with her all over again

[Wolfy323]

She is so lovely here.

Am Nil, am Nil, am Nil, verkehrten ganz incognito der Joseph und der Pharao. Dort tanzt man nur dreiviertelnackt zu Jimmi und Zweivierteltakt. Es traf mit der Geliebten sich des Abends ganz Ägypten sich, in der Bar zum Krokodil am schönen blauen Nil. Mit Ramses saß heut in der Bar der Gatte der Frau Potifar und aß von einem Feigenblatt gehackte Mumie mit Spinat! AM NIL!

[ilovecm]

What does that all mean?

[sutherland4l]

Oh geez, different dialect...I think it's:

"At the Nile, at the Nile, at the Nile,

Joseph and the Pharaoh (operated?)

completely under disguise/incognito.

There one dances only three quarters naked (?)

to Jimmy and the Two Quarters Tact (band name?).

It met with loving the evening

of complete (beautiful?) Egypt,

in/at the bar to the Crocodile

an the beautiful blue Nile.

[sutherland4l]

With Ramses today in the Bar

the husband of Mrs. Potifar

sat and ate from a fig blanket/mat

a chopped-up mummy with spinach!

ON THE NILE!"

If that makes any sense...Rough translation, I'll think more on it. I probaly missed all of the colloquialisms and went for the literal meaning.

[drsolus]

Hahaha, best thing i've ever seen.

[Xavierism]

Very interesting...What year was this done?

[operadude32]

I'm not sure but from the short clip of the audience at the end I'd say the 80's. Could this have possibly take place on the Rene Kollo show? I'm not sure what the format of his show was - just a thought.
