DC in music stands for Da Capo, which is Italian for "go back to the beginning".

Often, DC is used along with DC al Fine, meaning Da Capo al Fine, which means go the the beginning and continue to the "fine", which is the ending.

Constrast this with DS, meaning Da Segno, which means go back to the sign, or DS al Fine which means go back to the sign and continue to the ending.

Sometimes, there is a coda, which is an alternate ending, somewhat like a secondary or tertiary repeat.
