The four words are:
One of the speech — LISP
One of the mouth — LIPS
One of the tongue — SLIP
One into the mouth — PILS
They are ...
... anagrams of the first letters of the languages used in the poem:
Cogito ergo sum — Latin
Om mani padme hum — Sanskrit
Ordem e progresso — Portuguese
Cognac ed espresso — Italian

I did some look ups and this is my answer
Cogito ergo sum
= "I think, therefore I am" -> One of the speech: Poem (Philisophy)
Om mani padme hum.
= tibetian mantra -> One of the mouth: I have to guess this one; Soul? (Religion)
Ordem e progresso,
= the flag of brasil -> One of the tongue: I have to guess another one; Flag
Cognac e espresso.
= a baverage -> One into the mouth: Shot (You get a shot of espresso)

$\begingroup$ This fits pretty well, although the third line isn't really rot13[hfrq va na nagurz]. Note that I've since edited the question to limit the answers to 4-letter words. $\endgroup$ – jafe Aug 16 '18 at 10:15

The first part of the riddle is:
Written in 4 different languages
And means:
Latin - I think therefore I am
Hindi - Do you believe me?
Portugeuse - Order and Progress
Italian - Cognac and espresso
The second part of the riddle:
Uses English to refer to each of the previous lines. "One into the mouth" must be the Caffè corretto (cognac and espresso). "I think therefore I am" is part of Descartes speech.
I presume the four words you are looking for are:
The four languages of Latin, Hindi, Portugeuse and Italian?
