the whole song has been translated here, so if you search it you can find all the lyrics. if you just wanna know "mi alma se muere" it's "my soul dies"

I believe it's a Puerto Rican expression.
I can't find parcha in any dictionary.
Thanks Hugs Joyce
Parcha is our word for Passion Fruit.
Jugo de Parcha is literally Passion Fruit Juice.
It is the best juice after Jugo De Acerolas! Acerolas are a sort tropical cherry. Acerolas are also called West Indian Cherry.

Spanish teacher
I'm a Spanish teacher and I'd like to use some current music in class to "teach" and just expose some of my kids to the culture, not just the music that the textbook gives me, which is awful. I've used a few songs, but it's hard to find music that's "appropriate" for 12-14 year-old kids. I know they've heard it all before and probably much worse than I have, but I can't risk any backlash from administration/parents etc. So this might be a stupid question, but can you think of any reggaeton songs, or other popular music, that I could use in the classroom? Any thoughts/suggestions are much appreciated. Thanks.

Well, most reggaeton is about inappropriate stuff, but there are some songs like the romantic stuff that you could show them.
Here is what I could think of:
-Don Omar: Ayer La Vi, Dile, Pobre Diable, Adios, Cancion de Amor, Luna, Quien La Vio Llorar, etc.
-Angel y Khriz: Carita de Angel, Juguete, Pasan Los Dias
-Alexis y Fido: Soy Igual Que Tu
-Anything by Rakim y Ken-Y
-Hector El Father- Sola
-Randy- Fuera del Planeta
-Miguelito- Mochila de Amor
-Wisin y Yandel- Yo Te Quiero, Donde Esta El Amor?
-Ivy Queen- Menor Que Yo, Sentimientos, En Que Fallamos
-Some of Daddy Yankee's songs are ok too

Actually Nooooo! That song talks about doing stuff on the down low....
Enter the room...raise the volume on the radio....so that nobody notices what we are about to do.....Shhhh Silently or on the down low....
Al Callao or Pal Callao on the other hand which means for the quiet one........is something that's said to get a crowd riled up.

For "que lo que," it depends on the context - I'd need the sentence.
& cono pretty much means sh*t/f*ck...but I could be wrong...

que lo que....is dominican slang for what's up...it's like...heyyy what's up...que lo que...
Puerto Ricans use...Que es la Que?.....or Que es la que hay?...same meaning.
Coño....is the equivalent of sh*t or damn....that's it.

yea, que lo que (usually written as klk) is just short for que es lo que. it can be used as a greeting like "what's up" (ex: diiiiiemlo papi, klk contigo?) or it can be used pretty much the same as just "que" (ex: que lo que tu quiere?)

que la que hay i think is another that i've heard used similarly to que es la que, que lo que ... etc....
okay this may seem odd.
but was is the difference or uses of chingar/joder i know they both can be used as fcuk but also i've heard them used in other phrases i can't think of off the top of my head. it also depends on where you are too when you use it right?

I don't know too much about "chingar" but in Argentina we use "joder" also like "to bother."
No jodas mas - Don't bug me anymore.
