Spanish : Tú eres mi lista de deseos
Hindi : तुम मेरी बाल्टी सूची में हैं
Arabic : كنت قائمتي دلو
Russian : Ты мой список ведра
Japanese : あなたは私のバケットリストです
Punjabi : ਤੂੰ ਮੇਰੇ ਬਾਲਟੀ ਸੂਚੀ ਵਿੱਚ ਹਨ,
German : Du bist mein Eimer Liste
Persian : شما لیست سطل من
Italian : Tu sei la mia lista di cucchiaio
Burmese : သင်သည်ငါ့အ ရေပုံး စာရင်း များမှာ
Nepali : तपाईं मेरो बाल्टिन सूची हो
Greek : Είστε λίστα κάδο μου
If you are trying to say this to impress someone of the opposite sex, DON'T !

translates poorly, as in Hindi you will get stares and just a nod so as not to offend you. If you are trying to say, you are my only wish in my life it would go something like. "Sirf Tu meri zindagi ki Kiwanis hai " . Wouln' t trust google translate !
