I'd use a simpler approach, like this (it's usually easiest to keep as many
notes as possible in the music associated with the lyrics, using skip or " " to
skip them as necessary):
\version "2.18.2"
melody_verse = \relative c' {
c4
<<
{ \once \voiceTwo f }
\new Voice { d'4\rest }
>>
g,4 a |
}
\score {
<<
\new Staff {
\new Voice = "main" {
\repeat volta 2 { \melody_verse }
}
}
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "main" {
One " " three four.
}
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "main" {
Uno dos tres quatro.
}
>>
}
