In this day and age, one must learn how to find information, particularly how to find in on the web. Try googling with "cantando music dictionary" as a start ;)

And make lots of bookmarks from the links you'll find ;);)

Cool thank you m1469, and thank you Ximbi for the tip - I only typed in 'cantando' and came up with all these sights that didn't tell me what it meant, but I figured it had something to do with singing because of the pictures.  So that's all it means, singing.

Thanks guys!

Yes, definitely "singing", or "with a singing tone".  It shows up a lot in Chopin.
