My Irish is very rushy and never the may best, but "Buail mo croi duitse" would be my guess. This is probably the wrong forum too btw.

"Duitse a bhuaileann mo chroí" would be my own (probably clumsy) effort.

Loads of ways im sure

Ceann eile, b'fhéidir....

Fá do choinne a bhuaileas (bhuaileann) mo chroí

Fá do choinne a phreabann mo chroí

or may be even

ar do lorg a bhuaileann/phreabann mo chroí (searching for you)

ag tnúth leatsa a bhuaileann mo chroí (yearning for you)

I'm not 100% sure of all of these, may be someone could advise?

I don't like the expression in English very much! It seems clumsy to me.

There is a fairly elegant Irish expression which reflects the intention of the expression: Is tú mo chuisle, which translates as "You are my pulse".

"A chuisle" is a term of endearment which literally means "my pulse".

Forgive the quibble: Mo chuisle, often anglicised as "macushla".

A chuisle is the vocative - "O pulse" (with "my" implicit).
