It looks like you've got everything except the c-sharp, no? The d-sharp/c
are beamed and slurred together. Or, do you mean like you've done with the
"sa-" on Cru- sa- ders, where each syllable gets the note instead of "cha-"
getting both eighth notes? If that's what you want, then you can just use a
phrasing slur instead of a slur:
dis8[ \( cis] \)
LilyPond ignores phrasing slurs when aligning lyrics. I'd advise against
this notation practice, though, since you usually only slur two sung notes
together when a single syllable is sung on both notes. If it needs to be
there for another verse, or an accompanying instrument, then I'd consider
making it a dashed line so the singer knows the lyrics aren't supposed to
be slurred. Slurring notes together for lyrics is called a "melisma", by
the way :-)
