: Unfortunately, this appears to be a common English mispelling of the popular Spanish phrase. If you search on Google, you get 38 hits for "vio con Dios", but all English language pages. :(

It's probably 'Vé con Dios'
or Vaya con DIos.
'May God be with you' is a literal translation; it's sort of farewell blessing.

Good-bye, farewell
You probably mean "vaya con Dios" --
literally "Go with God" or "God be with you"
It's the line of a beautiful song:
"Vaya con dios, mi vida,
Vaya con dios, mi amor."

Dios should be capitalized, of course...
