This literally means “you are my world,” and it’s used to talk to one person informally (with “tú”).

Spanish speakers often use these variations to express the same feeling:
-
Eres mi vida (eh-rehs mee vee-dah)
- Meaning: “You are my life”
- Just as romantic and commonly used

Son mi mundo (sohn mee moon-doh)
- Used when addressing multiple people
- Perfect for parents talking to their children
