Well, this slur needs some shaping (by the way: phrasing slurs should be
\( ... \), and that's not entirely academical once lyrics come into
play).  But other than that:

\version "2.16.2"
\language "espanol"

right = \relative do' {
re4_\mp^( re mi do | re mi8 fa mi4 do) | re( mi8 fa mi4 re | do4 re
\change Staff = "left" sol,,2)  | \break
}

left = \relative do {
sol1 | fa | sol2 fas | la4 fas \change Staff = "right" r2 |
}

\score {
\new PianoStaff \with {
instrumentName = "Piano"
} <<
\new Staff = "right" \with {
midiInstrument = "acoustic grand"
} \right
\new Staff = "left" \with {
midiInstrument = "acoustic grand"
} { \clef bass \left }
>>
}
