Perhaps the context would help, but it looks like a mish-mash to me: ".....(something)... my group" (Italian; I don't know a verb "valezzare") looks like Ital. "abbondanza" 'abundance' but not quite....... Bad Spanish with unrecognized verb: as written "because me (IO or DO?) not ...(something, either a 1 sing. preterit without accent on the final /i/, of *resquitir/resquiter, or a garbled 2 sing pres. resquiti(s) so < *resquitir. ) In any case it should be "porque no me...." but porque 'because' doesn't usually introduce a question, therefore more likely, "por qué no me.... 'why.... "why didn't I (something) myself" or "why don't you (something) me"....Hmmm, my dirty mind is seeing some possibilities here.
