Coda is a symbol in music that means to go back to a certain part in a song, usually this is indicated by the word coda/ 2nd time to coda next to the part that needs to be re-sung or re-played. It's Italian and usually is made to conclude or make a big exit out of one part of a piece to another- like a transition phrase or melody that ends the beginning of a song and starts the end (air-go the grand middle (usually)).
This term is usually preceded by "Dal Segno" or "Da Capo", which means "from the sign", or "from the beginning", respectively. When used with these terms, it means: "Start from the beginning/sign and play until the coda symbol, then play the coda part".
