More literally, it means  "yours is my whole heart", or perhaps  "My heart is all yours".
You'll have had your tea.

Too literal these Germans - the English is much better (of course)

The best bit of the German language is when they turn a sentence into a word. Bit like the Welsh I suppose with their geographical Llanfairwhatevergogogoch.
So long and thanks for all the fish

I have never understood how some Welsh words are pronounced with their aversion to vowels. ‘Hwnt’ for instance

How can anyone say that without their tonsils getting in a twist?

No different from saying any phrase really. It is just a series of words run together. If I listen to German I can pick out the words and understand some (less than I used to be able to) but if I listen to say Italian it is just a burbleburbleburble to me because I never learned any Italian. If I hear Indians talking in one or other of their languages and I have no idea which it sounds to me like they are squaring up and hurling insults when they are probably just saying that the spuds look OK and the price is good.

" I have never understood how some Welsh words are pronounced with their aversion to vowels."

That's a silly statement when 'W' is vowel in Welsh when between 2 consonants.

I can split it. German pronunciation isn't a million miles away from English. You just have to remember to click you heels at the end of what you are, saying  ;)
