Вольный перевод с английского:
“Если ты оставишь меня сейчас”
Если ты оставишь меня сейчас,
Ты отнимешь большую часть меня
О нет, любимая, пожалуйста, не уходи
Если ты оставишь меня сейчас,
Ты заберешь мое сердце
О нет, любимая, пожалуйста, не уходи.
Девочка моя, я только хочу, чтобы ты осталась.
Такую любовь, как наша, трудно найти.
Как мы могли позволить ей исчезнуть?
Мы зашли слишком далеко, чтобы оставить все позади
Как мы могли покончить с ней?
Когда настанет завтра, мы будем оба сожалеть
О словах, что мы сегодня сказали
О нет, любимая, пожалуйста, не уходи
Детка, я хочу быть с тобой
О нет, любимая, пожалуйста, не уходи.
Детка, мне просто нужна твоя любовь

Of course, the old school hard core analogue guys almost never "give in" to the digital recording experience but I do, even though I'm "old school". I still stand by my statement above comparing the quality differences between Chicago's 50+ year old tracks to Leonid & Friends.

The Russians and some Eastern Europeans only smile when there's a reason to smile. It's a cultural trait that is often instantly recognized when one visits them; or, how a Russian finds it strange that Americans are "always" smiling. But then again, they're playing Chicago. So, that's reason enough for smiling. ;-)

I was the Drum Major in one of the finest high school Marching Bands in the state of Florida, the Miami Carol City Marching Chiefs, in 1971-1972. Our band director, Cliff Colnot, was pure genius in that he would arrange and we would perform the most popular songs of the day at our halftime shows, along with Miami Dolphin halftime shows soon after they were released to the public and hit the charts. Many of the Chicago Vol. 1 greatest hits were performed by our band in front of incredible crowds. Such great memories revisiting these great songs with your group, which I recently discovered. Hope to catch you in concert sometime in 2024, as I missed you in your 2023 Florida swing.

Funny story. About a month before this song came out I had just started playing French Horn in junior high band. Not a cool instrument for that kids in that age group. We never heard horns in pop music. So I’m just about to walk into the band directors office and ask to switch to trumpet or sax, or something more “cool”. Then “If You Leave Me Now” is suddenly on the radio every 5 minutes, and I’m the coolest guy in school because I play French Horn! I didn’t switch instruments.

I was watching this on my TV when my wife came home from work. She usually just grabs herself something to eat but I could just feel her behind me. I turned around and saw her crying. I said, "Babe, why are you crying?" She said, "I don't know." and then started to laugh. I said, "You've heard this song before." She said, "Not like this, not like this." I knew then I wasn't the only one that thought there was something special about this band.

I was listening to music from the other room - KZfaq selected playlist based on my previous choices- so of course this video came up. But I also often listen to original Chicago. I had to walk into the living room where the video was playing to see if it was the original or your cover. Fabulous, incredible job.

This mix is a wonderful performance itself. Not a single collision, intrusion, or conflict. Every track in complete balance. The sweet sounds of the 10 member string section from the Caro-Bass & Chamber Orchestra Kremlin are woven perfectly with the wonderful performance by Arkady Shilkloper on the French Horn. The smooth vocals of Serge Tiagniryadno are double tracked and harmonized superbly. The meticulous guitar tracks of Sergey Kashirin are impeccably layered with the brilliant and subtle Rhodes track courtesy of the keyboard wizard Vlad Senchillo. Igor Javad-Zade's percussion track is as precise as the metronome itself and rounding out the bottom is Leonid's bass track which provides such a foundation you could build a skyscraper upon it. Leonid literally turned the audio board into an instrument all its own. Obviously to say that I love this mix would be a complete understatement. With each release Leonid and Friends gets closer and closer to perfection. There is not much room left on that scale. What a wonderful job you all did. An audible gem!

Outstanding critique, Tom. I've been back to this page nearly every day since I first heard this song. I remember the song being played in heavy rotation in the 70s. Loved it then, but, to be honest, this cover is better than the original. Serge's vocals sit in the song better than Peter Cetera's. Where Cetera sounds shrill on the highs, Serge has a complimenting sweetness. Stunning recording.
