    "It's up to you"
    "Fútsa atá sé" would probably do for that bit.

    "to open my heart" could mean different things to different people.
    Could you explain just what it means to you?

    People often forget that what is simple and obvious to them can be very difficult to translate out of context.
    It can be like trying to visualise a painting when all you have is the title!

    Literal translation:

    "Is fútsa atá sé mo chroí a oscailt."

    Definitely needs a clearer explanation before the American girl gets a perfect interpretation though! :)
