Details, details…  ;-)

Yes, \hspace does "take up space" — try the following (even more  
elegant) fix:

nullLyric = \markup {}
verseOne =  \lyricmode { tar -- de. __ ¡Ay, Mo }
verseTwo = \lyricmode { tar -- es. __ \nullLyric }
verseThree = \lyricmode { ai -- re __ \nullLyric }
verseFour = \lyricmode { gran -- des. __ \nullLyric }

HTH!
Kieren.
