Chillán (Spanish pronunciation: [tʃiˈʎan] or [ʃiˈʝan]) is a city in the Bio Bío Region of Chile located about 400 km (249 mi) south of the country's capital, Santiago, near the geographical center of the country. It is the capital of Ñuble Province and, with a population of approximately 175,000 people (253,000 the Chillán Conurbation for 2012), the most populated urban center of this province. Within the city are a railway station, an inter-city bus terminal, an agricultural extension of the University of Concepción, and a regimental military base. The city includes a modern-style enclosed shopping mall in addition to the multi-block open-air street market where fruits, vegetables, crafts and clothing are sold. The nearby mountains are a popular skiing destination.
The zone were Chillán was built was previously habitated by indiginous people called Chiquillanes.
Chillán was founded in 1580 at the site of Chillán Viejo as San Bartolomé de Chillán by Martín Ruiz de Gamboa , who was campaigning against the local indigenous peoples at the time. However, this moniker did not fare well, and was replaced by the current name, which in the local Indian language means "where the Sun is sitting".
Got your invitation
Bless your heart, you're good to call
Another night on the town
With everyone around
Doesn't seem that fun at all
Since we're very important
People, we can skip the line
I can do you one better
We'll skip it all together
And the pleasure will be mine
But I'll try to make it
Hope I can make it
Try to make it now
Hope I can make it
You said you would meet me
If I'm halfway interested
I'd be upset if you waited
Frankly, stunned if I made it
I insist you go ahead
I mean to be gracious
But I feel put on the spot
If I'm not acting excited
That I was invited
It's because I'm kinda not
But I'll try to make
Hope I can make it
Try to make it now
Hope I can make it
Notice I'm under
House arrest that's self-imposed
Started to wonder
What we do behind doors when they're closed
Try to make it now
Hope you can make it
Sent an invitation
I left it stuck up on your door
Cause when I need you, you're there
If you come over, I swear
I won't be stuck up anymore
I've come to my senses
I was blind, but now I see
Down go my defenses
I'm begging you to spend your time with me
Try to make it now
Hope you can make it
Try to make it now
Hope you can make it
Try to make it now
Hope you can make it
Try to make it now
Hope you can make it
