Answer 1

I'm sure it's not Spanish. Sounds like Italian.

Answer 2

As James says, it is Latin, but not from Latin America, but from the Latium (nowadays Lazio), in Italy (all that old Roman stuff).

sine ("sin", "without"): preposition that requires the ablative case
te ("ti", "you"): personal pronoun, 2nd person singular, case ablative.
non ("no", "no/not"): negative adverb (in English can be found in words like nonsensical).
valeo (estar bien/fuerte, "tener valor", be strong, "have a value"): verb valeo/-ere/-ui/-iturus, 1st person singular, present indicative, second conjugation.

Answer 3

Although I can't seem to find the thread now, you or someone else asked this exact question yesterday, which was given the correct answer: it's Latin and means "Without you I am worthless" (Sin ti, no valgo (nada)).
