Titolo: Help with translation for Valentine's Day

My girlfriend and I are learning Italian. February 14th is Valentine's
Day in the U.S.A. - a big holiday for romance. I would like some
assistance translating some English phrases into Italian.
The phrases are:
"You have stolen my heart" or "My heart is yours forever"
"Be my love"
"We were always meant to be together"
Thanks in advance!

 "We were always meant to be together"
I don't think this expression can be  translated literally without sounding
a little unnatural... You could try with "E' il destino che ci ha fatto
incontrare". Another good way to express the same concept would be "Siamo
fatti l'uno per l'altra" (which means "We are made for each other").
Cheers,
Diego

 "We were always meant to be together"
Oh, a tough one. Let's see... this literally means
Siamo sempre stati fatti per stare insieme.
But it can also be translated as:
Siamo fatti l'uno per l'altra
and that reminds me of pots and covers : ) and a well known greek
philosopher plus three men and a leg...
All in all, too many things, so here's an alternative version:
Siamo sempre stati l'uno in cerca dell'altra.
A very alternativ one is:
"Oh, che culo! Sei miliardi di persone su questo cavolo di pianeta e sono
riuscito a trovare l'unica mia anima gemella. Da non crederci!!!"
saluti,
Peltio
PS
How about this:
"My life sucks, your life sucks, but our life together only rocks"
Too heavy? : ))))
On Aldebaran IV this sentence is all the rage on Valentine's Day.

> Se non mi restituisci il muscolo miocardico
Ehm, cardiaco.
saluti,
Peltio

And if you wanna make her laugh out loud...
And if you want to make her stop laughing: 
"I have always loved only you, Lucy" 
(and her name is not Lucy)

I know you can't speak, I know you can't sign
So cry right here on the dotted line

 "We were always meant to be together"
Era scritto nel cielo che dovessimo incontrarci.
(Le ho cucite insieme. Ciao)

words of love in Italian that will win a beautiful woman's heart.
"Tesoro, vèstiti, andiamo dal gioielliere" :-)
Happy Valentine's Day,

Meglio, cosě in caso di Sexual Harassment hai l'avvocanto pronto...
Forse andrebbe anche detto "Ti amo" facendolo controfirmare in presenza
dei reciproci avvocati, ma questa č un'altra storia... ;)

 "Tesoro, vèstiti, andiamo dal gioielliere" :-)
Meglio: "Resta lì nuda come sei. Non serve che ti vesti. Che ci frega del
gioielliere? Il mio gioiello sei tu."

Happy Valentine's Day,
Yes, this is surely going to work!
LOL

Naaaaaaaaah, non ci freghi...
Per l'appunto. Mi ripeto, ma...
a kiss on the hand may be quite continental
but diamonds are a girl's best friends,

 but diamonds are a girl's best friends,
Noi uomini, in genere, chiamiamo gioielli di famiglia anche i nostri
'marroni', se per questo.
Toccandoli, infatti, la nota matrona romana Cornelia pronunziò la storica
frase: "Ecco i miei gioielli!"

 gioielliere? Il mio gioiello sei tu."
credi nelle favole eh? ;)
"Che ci frega del gioielliere? Il mio gioiello sei tu. Vieni, voglio
spogliarti..."
"ok rivestiti... ci sentiamo"

No, no, meglio quella di prima (soprattutto dai 30 in su!!) :-)

 but diamonds are a girl's best friends,
Secondo me vale la pena di leggere tutto il testo della canzone, č
delizioso!! :-)
Marilyn Monroe - Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend
The French were bred to die for love
They delight in fighting duels
But I prefer a man who lives
And gives expensive jewels
A kiss on the hand may be quite continental
But diamonds are a girl's best friend
A kiss may be grand but it won't pay the rental
On your humble flat, or help you at the automat
Men grow cold as girls grow old
And we all lose our charms in the end
But square-cut or pear-shaped
These rocks don't lose their shape
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
...Tiffany's ... Cartier...
Talk to me, Harry, Winston, tell me all about it!
There may come a time when a lass needs a lawyer
But diamonds are a girl's best friend
There may come a time when a hard-boiled employer
Thinks you're awful nice
But get that ice or else no dice
He's your guy when stocks are high
But beware when they start to descend
It's then that those louses go back to their spouses
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
I've heard of affairs that are strictly platonic
But diamonds are a girl's best friend
And I think affairs that you must keep liaisonic
Are better bets if little pets get big baggettes (baguettes?)
Time rolls on and youth is gone
And you can't straighten up when you bend
But stiff back or stiff knees
You stand straight at Tiffany's
Diamonds... Diamonds...
- I don't mean rhinestones -
But Diamonds, Are A Girl's Best Friends
:-)
Cinzia

 Happy Valentine's Day,
