Вольный перевод с английского:
Трудно сказать “прости”/ Сбежим отсюда
Я слышал как ты сказала -
Надо иногда отдохнуть
Друг от друга
Даже влюбленным нужен отпуск
Вдали друг от друга
Обними же меня
Мне трудно сказать "прости"
Я просто хочу, чтобы ты осталась
После всего, что было между нами,
Я заглажу свою вину перед тобой, обещаю
И после всего, что было сказано и сделано
Ты просто часть меня, которую я не могу потерять
Я бы не выдержал в одиночестве
Ни одного дня без своей любимой
Не хотел бы, чтобы меня забросило
Далеко от моей единственной любви
Обними же меня
Мне трудно сказать "прости"
Я просто хочу, чтобы ты знала
Обними же меня
Мне правда хочется сказать "прости"
Я бы никогда не позволил тебе уйти
Обещаю, ты будешь самой счастливой!
Давай улетим отсюда
Туда, где никто нас не увидит
В конце концов, нам там будет не о чем заботиться
Держись крепче, если ты со мной
I'm a classically-trained keyboardist and film composer, so I know what it takes to perform and produce these covers. Then there's the fact that Chicago is among my 5 most favorite bands and the fact that "Hard to Say I'm Sorry" is 1 of my favorite Chicago songs! I ran into Leonid & Friends by happy coincidence while checking out Chicago songs performed by the band itself and cover bands (thank you, UA-cam algorithms). I was amazed by the careful recreation of the original arrangements, the passionate and amazing performances by Leonid & Friends, and the excellent production quality! Leonid, I know it takes a lot of time to transcribe these arrangements, produce, mix, master, and complete video editing. I suspect that it's a labor of love. I, for one, greatly appreciate all or your hard work and appreciate your bringing together this amazing group of musicians to perform and produce these covers! As I have looked around UA-cam for Chicago songs performed by the band itself, I have had a hard time finding versions of their songs performed by them using current recording technology. You all come the closest that I have found to faithful renderings of Chicago songs, but bonus, using modern recording and video technology. BRAVO!
TotLly mastered it been following a long time hats off to each and everyone of them
I am glad you replied so well.....I couldn't agree with you more.
Totally Agree. Might I add let not forget that English is NOT their first language! Also this version is the smoothest transition bridge out there by far. Simply. BEAUTIFUL! ❤️🙏 for all of them during such times as these.
Serge Tiagnyriadno Wonderful!!
Keep on singing, people!
It's an insult to call these guys a cover band. They are so spot on it's mind boggling
Agree
Right?
I'm wondering if Chicago will be covering any Leonid and Friends songs. ha
Not.,You have a mistake inside your mind..shut up .....
@@undisclosed3863 They could try "Eta Rus"

I love Leonid and Friends........
@@18vivimacSpettacolari! Non avevo mai incontrato una Band così preparata e organizzata.
As a pro musician for 55 years, I have to say I have never heard a better band. Everything and I mean everything is perfectly balanced and played. Amazing!
Their cover of Fantasy by Earth, Wind & Fire is indistiguishable from the original. This cover is actually the least great of all their covers I've heard so far. But that is a massively high bar. It's just so hard to go toe to toe with Peter Cetera.
Have a listen to The Fendertones, they give the same treatment to The Beach Boys tracks.
bravoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
You are absolutely right. A phenomenal band
@@fictionfactory7164 Yuck. Not to take anything away from those guys as accomplished amateurs, but they're not at the level of this group. Or of HSCC, for another example.
PS: Here's another good one: ua-cam.com/video/8HzOQQ32Vsw/v-deo.html
The flute and French Horn sold me! That attention to detail is unsurpassed!
This makes you realize two things: how incredible Chicago was, and how unbelievable these musicians are to duplicate Chicago Live, no overdubs. What a great gift to keep this music going 50 years on. Thank you all!
Sat Dec 4 : Who else will be at the Canyon - Saban in LA?
@@christinac1553 Extremely, agree..................
bravooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Никогда не думала, что буду гордиться своей несчастной страной, но ,оказывается, я ошибалась!Спасибо, что вы оценили!!!
I love Leonid & friends.
I just discovered this group. They are so good they make me cry, literally!!! The sound is so much cleaner than anything I have heard in 35-40 years ago. Astonishingly good!!!
Same to me
REMASTERED WITH SOME ARRANGEMENTS.
In tears myself. Just so good
L&F are a force of nature so much so that they have me spellbound by their expertise at everything they do.
Actually cleaner with todays tech. Than Chicago
Can't stop crying. A Russian band playing Chicago. A Rock band named after one of Americas great cities. God Bless Russia and the U.S.A.
And it was your USA who told you for years those Commies were evil
CHicago is no Great City. It is SHT hole full of drug and racial problems and run by a maniac mayor with racial and uber socialist agendae. Thank Gd I don't have to live there TEF
@@F_Tim1961 Trump my president!
@@heitorqueiroz9364 I live outside the USA so I am no sure why your comment and how it might relate to my previous one.
@@F_Tim1961 you said something about socialist agenda, I live in Brazil and I really tired of leftists are doing here and everywhere, maybe I got It wrong, forget about
なんだか胸に響いてきて、涙が出てきました。今日、日本は大きな地震が起こって30年を数えました。亡くなった人にも生き残った人の心にもこの音が響いていくような気がして。
All I can say is: "Perfection" of this rendition of classic Chicago song!
The front man is dead on spotless. Fantastic vocalist. I can't get enough of this band.
No doubt!!!
@Robert George Serge Tiagnyriadno is a treasure...a wonderful talent!
He is. Hard to tell him from Peter Cetera except for his two syllable Go-ooh.
How did he die? Didn’t know 😥
Neither can i❤
It's not just a cover: It's a very competitive version. Mr. Leonid, all my respects from Mexico City. Chicago was MY group. Thanks for doing THIS masterwork.
bravoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Ironically the first time I ever heard Hard to Say I'm Sorry was when I was studying at UNAM in 1982. (I'm an American and my college had a program with UNAM). Living in Taxquena I would listen to one of the radio stations that played American top 40, and this was my all-time favorite. Then I'd go catch the trolley to the Uni.
The best Chicago cover band ever....sometimes I think you’re better than the original
i was thinking the same
I wouldn't go that far 😉 though they 're absolutely amazing
Traducir palabra canciones en inglés
Brass Transit is good too
Qqaaawaqqaaqqaaqaaaawwaaaaaaaaaaaaaawaaqqqaqaaaqqqqqqpaq
You’re the best cover of the original of Chicago
I cant stop watching all of Leonid and Friends videos showcasing all the greatest hits of Chicago and more! I grew up with Chicago, I remember in the late 70's driving down Alki Beach in my 1963 Chevy SS and have Saturday In The Park blasting away! Leonid and all his friends are beyond being talented, They are truly the greatest cover band in the 21st Century!
I'd just say ....the greatest band, period.
Cover band seems like… an unintentional insult. They are as good as the originals
БОЖЕ - неужели это наши ЗЕМЛЯКИ!!!!!!!!!! ВОСХИЩЕНИЕ!!!!!! Каков ВОКАЛ - а скрипичная ГРУППА, а ВЕЛИКИЕ ДУХОВИКИ - ВАЛТОРНА ПРОСТО УЖАС!!!!!!!!!! БРАВО!!!!!!!!!!!
www.youtube.com/@ArkadyShilkloper1956/videos
Солидарен с Вами, это невероятно, Воробьев это смог!!!!
Просто нужно закончить сначала муз.школу, училище, консерваторию. Фанатично слушать западные группы.
И не слушать по TV пропагандонов Симоньян, Скабееву и
особенно
Осло/вьёБа 😢
А так же всяких там Лепса, да Газмановых.
И вы сразу сбросите про-путинскую ядовитую шелуху.
Bravo 👏
Wow! Brings tears of joy! This group is off the charts! A gift from heaven! BRAVO!!
How is there this much talent on one stage? Just amazing. Music unites.
O cover superou o original ,demais fantástico.
So my dream finally came through. I had to drive over 700 miles but I got to see Leonid and Friends in person in Shipshewana, Indiana. They were FANTASTIC. Now, I’ve got to find another concert closer to Atlanta. Love them all.
Please come back to Atlanta, Georgia. We had tickets , "Covid came", "Date changed" , was so disappointed we could not travel from South Carolina. "Come to the Peace Center in Greenville S.C".. You can stay at our place. Beautiful venue and I'm positive It will be a sell out !!!!!!!!!!
We were lucky enough to see then in Denver, where we live. They were perfect. Great show.
I'm incredibly impressed not just by the musicians and their talent, but the amazing engineers who capture them and mix them down to let us hear them. I'm an engineer myself and these folks are top drawer!
I don't understand why there aren't more than a million subscribers. The brass, singing and sound production sound quality is beyond fantastic.
Yep..
i agree with you bro, why not? they are not showing the Ass, or doing something foolish that´s the why....
Because todays youth only know beat loops and auto tune. No concept of structure. No intro, no chorus and definitely no bridge. That’s something you drive over or go under. Don’t ask about the key of the song. They’ll pull keys out their pocket. 🥴😆
I just saw L&F 3 weeks ago and the real Chicago last week (11/4/2021) at the MGM Casino near Cleveland, OH. I've said it before on these L&F videos and I'll say it again: it's one thing for Peter Cetera and the rest of Chicago to write and arrange this song (and all their songs) from scratch.
But when you consider what Leonid Vorobyev did here: he listened to the record, on his stereo or headphones, and proceeded to break down each individual instrument and vocal and harmony part individually, then transcribe those parts by hand on to sheet music using long hand music notation, then assemble the best musicians he could find, then show them and teach them the music and arrangement on each DIFFERENT instrument, and have everyone sing in near perfect English when it's not even their second or third language....... absolutely amazing job and a project for all these songs that surely took months if not years to finalize.
Just think about it. You're listening to a song on your stereo and then you want to set out to write out the music of every part just from your ear.
AMAZING , WHAT A TALENT
And to do so....in a language that's not your main language!!!
Великолепно!!!!
С любовью из России!
Maravilha!! ❤❤
This is the best Chicago cover band out there. They actually sound better than Chicago, even though l know Chicago are the original artists.
This amazingly talented and professional group reminds all of us that love is greater than destructive forces of hate that have been unleashed in our world. Thank you all for blessing us all with your gifts.
beautiful comment
I'm an old dude, remember songs on the radio from the 60's. This is the best group playing anywhere right now.
we cannot be divided....music bind us all..pure heart
It just doesn't get any better than this! And just look at the fun they are having. Thank you, YT algorithms, for suddenly dropping something really special into my feed.
lol two years later this just dropped into my lap
정말로 수백은 들었습니다.
Brass / String .. All real band 의
환상적인 하모니는 온몸에 전율이 느껴 지네요.
앞으로도 좋은곡 부탁드립니다~
응원하겠습니다!
Takes a whole lot of skill and bravery to take on a song like this. From the legendary vocals to the insane horn lines, with all the dynamics and instrumentation (flutes/french horn) and you folks absolutely nailed it....10 out of 10! Bravo
Thank all and Leonid for his strength in putting all this together. K
I honestly did not care for the original version of this song. I felt it dragged and I am a HUGE Chicago fan - had all their albums and played them repeatedly. But, this band made this song come to life. It is a crisp, precise version with soul and energy. The transition to the second song is smooth and the tempo ramps up quickly without a hitch. This band is perfection!
Não são os cantores e banda originais... Como podem reproduzir tão bem assim... Excelente, maravilhoso, espetacular...
Music without borders! Fabulous. Appreciate YOU so much.
That's what I admire about Leonid And Friends. 🙂
Yes, absolutely! No borders please!!!!!
Mean horn section. Love the whole band! Leonid is a great musician and arranger and band leader! Love you guys here in California!
These guys are stunningly incredible. Except for Peter Cetera having a uniquely recognizable voice, this sounds IDENTICAL to the studio version. Incredible. Oh, and the female vocalist is gorgeous. :)
thank you dr.leonid may god be with you allof you
But she CAN sing....
@@larrycom Yup,she's the whole package.
No one can match Cetera. No one. His voice is silky smooth. The horns were excellent on this. And guitar was better on this one than 25 or 6 to 4. But he still impressed me on that one too.
Thank you for the beautiful music. I'm very old school .
Wow. Just wow
Случайно забрел на ваш ролик...ведь Чикаго мой любимый банд с 1973 года. Ребята я в шоке вы превзошли самих оригиналов, великолепные музыканты, лирика и английский в совершенстве , звукорежиссера шик, браво и просто молодцы! Как же приятно как слушаешь настоящих профессионалов своего дела...Впредь буду искать ваши работы.Это для меня открытие.
I've been an avid Chicago fan since 1970 and I'm just discovering Leonid & Friends for the first time today, July 3, 2021. You guys are absolutely incredible. I love your accuracy, but those nice subtle added touches to make your cover special.
Check out the Lexington Lab Band. They also are a great cover band.
@@dennisgoodnight5782 WOW, good call! Thanks much🙂
The trumpet solo... wow!
I listen to these guys every night, all the songs over and over again.
And I thought it was just me!
@@markkukowski3710 Same here!!! They are addictive!!!
it's organic therapy for the soul. I feel so good after listening to such talent and great sounds
This group has a talent level that is beyond all I’ve ever heard !! Just amazing !!
This group is phenomenal! Better or equal to original. Where are they touring. Brings it all back. Love you guys ❤️
The sound quality and precision is incredible!Goosebumps every time…
It's a genuine cosmic level. Guys, I'm starting to think you're from another planet. Bully for you!
I love how I actually get choked up when I'm witnessing talented people doing what they're passionate about. The joy is contagious! :))
Exactly!!!
I agree 1000% my friend. Nicely stated and couldn't wrote it better if I tried! They're a great band on every level!!!
So it's not just me, then. I'm such a softie.
Me too.
Same here. Listening/watching this brought tears to my eyes. The musicianship is incredible. I'm so sad that I just found them today, Thanksgiving and they've come and gone from Chicago.
I amazed this band he do the best like a original perfect balance the mix of instrument..
I love seeing the smiles on the faces of the string section! They are all so talented and so professional, yet this music is so incredible that it's impossible not to smile, even while performing!
I get emotional listening to this, I think it’s because I’m experiencing such musical perfection. The vocals, the instrumentals just rock my world.
Chicago was such an awesome band. Thanks for keeping those old songs so fresh and new.
We give it are best to try to create something fun
It's hard to improve on perfection but Igor you did it. The drum track on the Chicago original is so flat and mechanical. You put syncopation and energy into your interpretation.
I don't know her, but she is so beautiful and sings from her soul.
Absolutely an incredible cover band. KUDOS!!!
i love everything about this band. the talent is amazing. and yes, I love the strings and orchestral parts of it. I can't say enough ab out you guys. I wish you were over here.
😃
My favorite CHICAGO cover band! OUTSTANDING!
Is there anyone else?????
The strings girls play so joyfully that we can see a light shining forth from their faces.
Amazing and beautiful band
Belíssimo!

I don't understand why anybody would dislike this! WTF!!!
Crying and laughing of joy to listen this amazing performance!
I love how the orchestra players are smiling at one another, enjoying the moment. You never see that in a symphony orchestra, especially when the genre is classical music. And one must ask, why the heck not?
Indeed.
Intense concentration. On the big stage, you don’t want to mess up.
Tribute...❤
tripped over this band because CTA was my jam😊....only have known of this band for 6 mos. and they've around how long😮😮😮
I've been living under a rock
このバンドの詳しいことは知らないが、どのカバー曲を聴いても、原曲を凌ぐ力強さにとにかく圧倒されると同時に、演者が皆楽しんでいるのが伝わってくる。音楽の神は、それを喜ぶ者に宿るのだと改めて感じる。
i feel like we have our own private Chicago band. soon we will have to share with the whole world! it's spreading fast. hearing this today WAS like opening a Christmas present. thank you thank you thank you.
I think there is nothing missing in this song. Every single detail filled.
Well done and best wishes from Texas!!! Encore!!!!!!
Makes me think of the great theme park in HOUSTON called ASTRO WORLD!! Listening to these songs of CHICAGO, while walking around with our friends and riding the rollercoasters in the early and mid seventies!!
Leonid and Friends are the best counter-parts of Chicago and honor them by playing the tunes that some of us old farts grew up with. My eyes tear up every tune that Leonid and friends reproduce to every note and nuances. And that's been every tune. Talent comes from all of this Globe no matter of a countries illegitimate leader or want a be.
Who didn't applaud at the finish? That was beyond words--in fact, I don't think a word has been created to describe the amazing magnificence of this music! Giving a standing ovation right now!
Absolutely fantastic! Ochin prekrasniye!
What a performance by these talented musicians!!!! Serge at 2:51 - WOW!!! Simply phenomenal.
Man these musicians are beyond good, they are simply amazing!
Extraordinaire !
Я горжусь тем,что живу в стране,где есть такие таланты!!!
Absolutely stunning in every way possible! Flawless. Perfect. Thrilling. Emotional. Beautiful.
Incredible. My favorite rock group. Leonid and Friends keep the Chicago sound going.
Fantastici
Smiles from cheek to cheek! Well done.😊
Братцы, как же здорово вы поете и играете! Очень нравится ваше творчество. Вы настоящая музыкальная семья. Успехов в творчестве, слушаем вас на Руси Великой, гордимся вами и радуемся, что есть такие таланты на нашей планете.
it just doesn't get any better than this! GREAT JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If the song ended at 4:02 and that was the final version of this song it would probably be the perfect song in my mind. Ending on that swell following the piano breakdown has the most epic conclusive sound
Who are you guys, I can't believe this rendition even with Get Away in the end. So well played, so well done, so well produced and so much female beauty
If I could but give a thousand thumbs up! Amazing!
Bravissimi ! complementi.tutti bravi.
Serge Tiagniryadno. Gotta say. You have Peter Cetera's vocal style down cold. Great job!
And this time with a REAL friggin' string section, how cool is that . WHAT ELSE COULD YOU WISH FOR ?? .... what kind of stone deaf individual could give this thumbs down ?
Goodness, I'm tempted to book a ticket to Moscow just to see you perform!
me too!
Phenomenal
Covering Pete Cetera is nowhere near as easy as Mr. Tiagniryadno makes it sound. Just another brilliant job by him and the whole band.
This is an amazing band. Incredible vocals. Musicians are perfect. A perfect blend. It’s hard to imagine a band from Russia have this American sound. Music c is a great unifier.
This song is the very first song my wife and I danced to back in High School! Still love them both 35 years later!!
Love this Band! God Bless Serge & His Family and keep them Safe 🙏 ❤️
AMEN
I feel very fortunate and blessed to have seen Chicago in concert in Pittsburgh in 1982. My girlfriend and I were seated 6 rows from the stage in lounge chairs as Peter Cetera and crew sang this song live for one of the first times. The band were all dressed in white karate robes and headbands to promote Karate Kid. Unbelievable experience. Many thanks to Leonid and Friends for reigniting great memories with a spot-on performance.
It isn't fair. It's breaking SOME law of the universe. NO ONE is allowed to do Chicago better than Chicago!! AAAhhh. Okay, that's my way of saying this was superb!!
love the string section & French horn
I am glad I found Leonid and friends great sound.!
Couldn't not get out of feeling that I'm listening the original Chicago!!! That's my nation which is so talented!! Proud of them!!! 👌Молодцы мужики!! Так держать!!
감동입니다. ^^*
