English term or phrase: you're my baby
being said from a girlfriend to a boyfriend
Diana
ti je shpirti im
Explanation:
We do not translate "baby" literally, because it would mean "infant."

"you are my baby" usually means a person of whom one is deeply fond; a sweetheart. Thus, I would say: "ti je shpirti im" (you are my sweetheart, my soul".

You may also say "ti je zemra ime" (you are my heart) etc. There are several different expressions one can use for this case, there is not a specific one.
