Dal Segno. You will see a lot "Da Capo al Segno" Means: From The begining to the signal.

Dal Segno, usually followed by either al Fine (to the finish) or al Coda (to the Coda). D.S. means "to the Sign", the 'Sign' being an S with a '/' through it (a slash). A coda is a sort of bullseye looking thing, which, when you get to, you go to the next coda and skip the material inside. D.S. al Fine is to the sign until the finish, usually marked as 'Fine', 'al Fine', &c. D.C. is Dal Capo, or to the beggining, and follows the same rules with al Coda and al Fine.

Dal Segno. Back to the sign, which is like an S with a diagonal line through it, dots either side - see the link. Basically, when you get to the DS you go back to the sign and play that bit again. Get to the DS a second time you don't go back, you carry on to the next section.

It stands for Del Segno, which means to go back to "da sign" in the music and play/sing from there.
