I've seen the word "kontenplas" in a song and I couldn't find it in the dictionary, can someone tell me what that word means?

Could that be a typo for kontemplas - kontempli to contemplate

That's the best I could figure out as well. Here's the verse in question. Being as two lines down the b and the r in 'arboj' are reversed I'd agree it's a typo. I got these from the comment section of the video of the song on YouTube:

Kontenplas mi l' alvenontan ŝtornon
La mallumo vokas mian nomon
Kreskanta abroj sen ripoze
Ili sentas la sezonŝanĝon

Not to mention that sxtornon has the same mistake.
