Parchemo' is a colloquial and informal term, a shortened form of "parchemos," which comes from the verb "parchar." In many Latin American countries, especially in Venezuela and Colombia, "parchar" means to hang out, chill, or spend time with someone in a relaxed way.
In the song, Danny Ocean uses it to express a desire to simply relax and enjoy time with the person he's singing about: "quiero que nos parchemo' en el Altoque" (I want us to chill at El Altoque). It's an engaging word because it's a common piece of slang that adds a casual, authentic feel to the lyrics, making it interesting for learners to discover how people really speak.
Danny Ocean spends this song describing a trip that hasn't happened yet. He is somewhere else, replaying her voice notes — "Repetía toa' tus nota' de voz" (I used to replay all your voice notes) — and the whole track is him building the alternative out loud: a beach, a boat, Cali, salsa until morning. "Yo soy tu visa por si quieres venir" (I'm your visa in case you want to come) is the line that gives it away. The obstacle is paperwork and distance, and he is offering himself as the way around it.
Kapo's verse keeps the same conditional mood and makes it stranger: "Y como un demente, con mi mente, te manifesté" (And like a madman, with my mind, I manifested you). For a Venezuelan artist who has spent most of his career outside Venezuela, "Yo te llevo cuando cambien el presidente" (I'll take you when they change the president) is the one line where the fantasy names what is holding it up. And the song closes on a question rather than a plan — "¿Te vas con Kapo?" (Are you going with Kapo?), "¿O te vas conmigo?" (Or are you going with me?) — so nobody has actually gone anywhere.
