So, my darling...


Explanation:
buena = good, nice, or even beautiful etc.

Since this is opening your phrase,I think it should literally be "bueno", meaning "Well", "So"...

Good one...


Explanation:
Buena, at least here in Chile, can be taken as that´s a "good one", spoken in a slightly mocking tone.

OK / all right / right


Explanation:
Creo que en español-castellano debería decir:
"BUENO, mi amor, te quiero, te adoro. Ya pórtate bien"
"OK, honey, I love you, I adore you.Now behave yourself"

Un saludo.

Well, my love, I want you, I adore you, now behave yourself


Explanation:
Dear travis, they have already said it and I just say it again, the spanish should be: Bueno mi amor, te quiero, te adoro. Ya pórtate bien.
Well my love, I want you, I adore you. Behave yourself
That should be enough, unless you are looking for "You better behave yourself", but it sounds like a thread, doesn't it?
Good luck!
