    Hola Pat,
  The word appears a number of times in the music and verse of the Codex Calixtinus.  Two of the most well known are the songs Dum Paterfamilas and Ad Honorem Regis Summi (supposedly by Aimery Picaud).  I have copies of the music sheets for both and if anyone would like them I could scan and email them to you.
   
  Here are the words and transaltion of Dum Paterfamilas.
   
    Dum Paterfamilas          (Codex Calixtinus)
   
  Dum paterfamilias, Rex universorum
  Donaret provincias, jus apostolorum
  Jacobus Hispanias, lux illustrat morum,
   
  *Primus ex Apostolis!  Martyr Jerosolymis! 
  Jacobus Egregio sacer est martyrio.
   
  Jacobi Gallecia open rogat piam,
  Glebe cuius Gloria dat insignem viam,
  Ut precum frequentia cantet melodiam:
  Herru Sanctiagu!  Got Santiciagu! 
  E ultreia! E sus eia! Deus adjuva nos.
   
   
  God, Father of all mankind, King, ruler of the world
  Gave to his apostles dear, lands, each to their own just care 
  James in his own land of Spain,  
  shines out with a holy flame
   
  *First amongst Apostles now! Martyred at Jerusalem! 
  James became the holiest by illustrious martyrdom! 
   
  Lo! James's Galicia calls out for our pious toil,
  Marching on the holy way, road over her glorious soil.
  Blending all our prayers in one harmony of endless song: 
  To Lord St James!  To God's St James! 
  And Onward! And Upward! God speed our way!
   
  PS:  There is a wonderful CD of medieval chanting and polyphony for St James from the music of the Codex Calixtinus - called Miracles of Sant'Iago by the Aonymous 4.  It comes with a little booklet in 4 languages and includes the words of all the songs. 
  Abrazos,
  Sil

Can anyone give me the meaning of "Ultreya"?  I saw it here once and wished I'd copied it down.  Would love some feedback.  Thanks 
Pat
