Just put the two sections to be aligned in the same Lyrics context 
(which means that you
should again remove the \skip for the corresponding verse). Here's your 
full example:

\version "2.10.33"

bajoEstribillo = {
 e1 e2 b1 b2 e d1 f1.
 f1 d2 e d d e b1 e\breve.
}

letraEstribillo = \lyricmode {
 Si1 a2 -- brá_en1 es2 -- te bal1 -- drés1.
 man1 -- gas2 pa1 -- ra2 to -- das1 tres.1*3
}

bajoEstrofa = {
 e1 e2 b1 b2 e d1 e b2 e1 e2 b1 b2 e d1 e b2
 e1 e2 b1 b2 e d1 f f2 f1 d2 e d d e b1 e\breve.
}

letraEstrofaUno = \lyricmode {
 Tres1 mo2 -- ças1 d'a2 -- ques -- ta1 vi -- lla,2 tres1 mo2 -- ças1
d'a2 -- ques -- ta1 vi -- lla,2
 des1 -- o2 -- lla1 -- ban2 u -- na1 res1. pa1 -- ra2 man gas a to --
das1 tres.1*3
}

letraEstrofaDos = \lyricmode {
 Des1 -- o2 -- lla1 -- ban2 u -- na1 res,1. des1 -- o2 -- lla1 --
ban2 u -- na1 res,1.
 y1 fal2 -- tó1 -- les2 u -- na1 ti -- ra2 pa1 -- ra2 man gas a to --
das1 tres.1*3
}

\score {

\new Staff {
<<
\new Voice = "bajo" \relative a {
 \set Staff.instrumentName = #"Bajo"
 \clef bass
 \time 3/2
 \bajoEstribillo
 \bar "||"
 \new Voice = "estrofa" {
   \bajoEstrofa
 }
}
\new Lyrics {
 \set associatedVoice = "bajo" \letraEstribillo
 \set associatedVoice = "estrofa" \letraEstrofaUno
 }
\new Lyrics { \set associatedVoice = "estrofa" \skip 2*3*9 
\letraEstrofaDos }
>>
}

}
