Im going to give u the best answer u've ever had.
"I love you"in Swahili is "Nakupenda" spellt together. When you say "Nakupenda wewe" is the same, "wewe" just means "you", so when u say it you emphasize "you", but it's obvious that if you say it to someone special's face u dont have to add the "wewe" part.
"i love you very much" is "nakupenda sana".
"Love" in Swahili (or Kiswahili to be more correct) is "Mapenzi".
"Life" in Swahili is "Maisha" so i dont know what princessf.......is talking bout.

Swahili - Mimi nakupenda
Swahili - Ninapenda wewe
Swahili - Naku penda (followed by the person's name)
I just looked up "I love you in Swahili" on google, then boom, came the results. ;)

Unfortunately, Swahili is one of the languages in which several words can be translated with different meanings depending on context & emphasis. The phrase "I love you" can also be translated "I like you" depending on usage & your relationship with the person listening.
As mentioned above, the best translation is "Nakupenda." This is sort of slang in that it's the most shortened form which still gives all the information. This would mean "I love you" to someone who had heard it from you many times. The most proper or grammatically correct way would be "Ninakupenda" or "Ninakupenda wewe," depending on whether you want to emphasize the recipient (a group atmosphere might make this necessary).
"Upendo" is "love" directly translated, but it can also mean "liking." I hope all this information helps.

*looks down* Those two are such unitelligent answers. All I can tell you is that "love" in Swahili is "ife". (I know, cuz that's my middle name!)
