Please always tell what LilyPond version you use, otherwise you might get an answer that's irrelevant, since LilyPond is still evolving quickly from version to version. From your example it looks as if you use version 2.2 or older, so I'll assume 2.2 below.
Did you read the section in the manual called "The Lyrics context"? As you can find out there, you should explicitly name the Voice context you want to attach the lyrics to.
Also, there's a conceptual misunderstanding here. A Staff context can only contain notes, i.e. Voice contexts. In other words, you cannot have your lyrics included within the \new Staff << ... >>.
However, the main problem of your score was the tie on the final e of the triplet. Since the next note isn't also an e, you cannot have any tie and for some strange reason LilyPond got confused and thought that you had a melisma extending to the next e in the score (which never happened in your example). I will send a bug report about this problem.
Here's a modified version of your example:
\version "2.2.0"
\score {
<<
\notes \relative c'' \new Staff <<
\context Voice = "upper" {\voiceOne
r8 d, \times 2/3 { d d e } g'8 g g g } \context Voice = "lower" {\voiceTwo
\skip 2 e,2 f2 b2
}
>>
\lyricsto "upper" \new Lyrics
\lyrics { et s'en al -- ler et s'en al -- ler }
>>

Hi, I am a very newbie in Lilypond, and I just type my first piece. I can't attach the lyrics as I would like to:
8<----------------------------
\score {
\notes
\relative c''
\context Staff <<
\new Voice {\voiceOne
r8 d, \times 2/3 { d d e~ } g'8 g g g } \lyricsto "" \new Lyrics
\lyrics { et s'en al -- ler et s'en al -- ler }
\new Voice {\voiceTwo
\skip 2 e,2 f2 b2
}>>
}
8<----------------------------- The lyrics are not attached to g'8 g g g the tie e~ e2 is ignored.
Any hint ?
JJR.
