There are three Greek words used in the New Testament to denote repentance. (1.) The verb "metamelomai" is used of a change of mind, such as to produce regret or even remorse on account of sin, but not necessarily a change of heart. This word is used with reference to the repentance of Judas (Matt. 27:3). (2.) "Metanoeo", meaning to change one's mind and purpose, as the result of after knowledge. This verb, with (3) the cognate noun "metanoia", is used of true repentance, a change of mind and purpose and life, to which remission of sin is promised. Evangelical repentance consists of (1) a true sense of one's own guilt and sinfulness; (2) an apprehension of God's mercy in Christ; (3) an actual hatred of sin (Ps. 119:128; Job 42:5, 6; 2 Cor. 7:10) and turning from it to God; and (4) a persistent endeavour after a holy life in a walking with God in the way of his commandments.

I believe it means to confess your sin/sins and never repeat that sin again.
