literally this would translate as:

whoa! I put "worm" in google translate to get accented an "è" and if gave me this: "vè k'ap manje kadav"

Yes, I tried it too.  I see what you mean :)
That whole Creole sentence says worms eating a cadaver

I think they were probably trying to be specific as the word Vè in Creole could also translate a GLASS FOR DRINKING WATER, PRESCRIPTION EYEGLASSES, and the prepositions TOWARD, ABOUT

Anyway, so you're not confused, here's the Haitian Creole translation for worm :)
worm →
maggots →
earthworm → vètè

No matter how you put it, it remains: Mwen renmen'w

I love you.
Mwen renmen'w.

I'm in love with you.
Mwen damou pou ou.

I can't live without you.
Mwen pa ka viv san ou.

You are my love.
Ou se lanmou mwen.

You are the love of my life.
Ou se lanmou lavi'm.

You and I, we make one.
Ou menm avè'm fè youn.

If I had a dollar for each time someone asks me how to say I love you in Creole, I'd  be making hundreds of dollars a day :)
I'm glad to know that it's "love that makes the world go round".
