My hovercraft is full of eels
Моё судно на воздушной подушке полно угрей
Moyo sudno na vozdushnoy podushke polno ugrey

In 2001.....I went to see a movie in Tver, Russia......it was American. My interpreter said a bunch of folks from the agency were going to see it. I asked her what the name of the movie was......she said "Heart Eaters". I asked if it was a horror film.....she said "no....I think it is a comedy". Ten minutes into the film I leaned over to her and said that the name of the movie is............."Heart Breakers"  :-)

'dusha moya' is one of my favs ..... got to mean it or it will sound corny ...My Soul .... Can be used like, "Ya tebya lyublyu, dusha moya"  - Be sure to put the emphasis on the 'a's'

And, try to avoid any 'un-natural' speakers of any language.
A beautiful woman is pleasant to look at, but it is easier to live with a pleasant acting one.

Beel,

Solnichka is the variation that I am used to.   Meaning small ray of sunshine.
