Try modifying the following lines like this:

sopraano = \relative c'' \context Voice = "sopraano" {

\new Lyrics \lyricsto "sopraano" \sanat

(and of course Trevor's \accept trick.)

This creates a voice context to which you can attach the lyrics.

Just out of curiosity... Are you using PianoStaff for music with
lyrics in purpose instead of e.g. ChoirStaff?
