What you need here is a printer's mark, not an apostrophe, which is  
what the ' character on your keyboard is. On a macintosh, to get that  
character, you use shift+option=] and it creates the character ’ as  
opposed to the ' which is just a hash mark.
\version "2.11.52"
{ \time 3/8 \autoBeamOff a'8 a'16 a' a' a' }
\addlyrics { bien ha -- y’a --  que -- ya }
\paper {ragged-right = ##f }
