Someone asked much the same question about cres - - cen - - do last 
month. My suggestion was along the lines of the following:

\version "2.17.15"

<<
  \new Staff \relative c'' {
    c, d e f g a b c b a g f
  }
  \new Dynamics {
    s1-\tweak bound-details.left.text "Rallen "
    -\tweak bound-details.right.padding #1 \startTextSpan
    s4 s2.\stopTextSpan-\tweak bound-details.left.text "tan "
    -\tweak bound-details.right.text " do"
    -\tweak bound-details.right.padding #2
    \startTextSpan s2. s4\stopTextSpan
  }
