Custom HTML Menu > WordPress

Hi There, this is my first time converting a static website to wordpress and i am having some trouble implementing my menu. I have looked at the codex and a few tutorials online though I feel as if this problem needs a personal solution.

This is my current html code:

<nav class=”cl-effect-19″>

<span data-hover=”Welcome”> Home</span>
<span data-hover=”Who I Am”> About</span>
<span data-hover=”What I Do”> Services</span>
<span data-hover=”Collections”> Albums</span>
<span data-hover=”Musings”> Blog</span>
<span data-hover=”Say Hi”> Contact</span>
</nav>

and this is what i have sued so far as a wordpress replacement

<nav class=”cl-effect-19″>

<?php wp_nav_menu( array( ‘theme_location’ => ‘primary’, ‘container’ => ‘nav’, ‘menu_class’ => ‘cl-effect-19’, ) ); ?>
</nav>

any and all feedback would be greatly appreciated thank you in advance.
