Your original code is wrong - it should be a div if you want to wrap it around block elements. And then it would work in Amaya as is. Amaya is correcting the code to make it valid. The CSS won't work because text-align doesn't make sense for an inline element like span. The best way to do this in Amaya would be to select the two elements, (select a bit of each then press f2/Esc - windows/Linux&Mac variation) then from the XHTML menu of via the shortcut, make a div (I think it's normally ctrl-h ctrl-v but I use a personalised set of shortcuts so check it in the menu).
