For "words of a song" I'd say "vlapoi pe lo selsa'a", so I'd say "togypoi" for 
"melody". There's also "vlamei"; "togmei" could be useful when the music isn't 
a single sequence but consists of voices.

The voices are tcesutsli, mlisutsli, mlisnosli, and tcesnosli, but I don't 
know what the word for "voice" in this sense is. These words can also denote 
completely different frequency ranges when talking about radio.

"phrase" could be "selsa'aspi".
