Well it is Latin and "bene" means good and "patria" means fatherland or homeland and "vbi" means where and "ibi" means there.
I would say it is somewhere along the lines of..."Where good is, there is my homeland"???

It will mean something like "where you feel good, there is your home". Literally it is just saying " where well, there homeland".
There is a longer version from Latin literature which goes "patria est ubicumque est bene" - "where one does well, there is his country"
patria can be translated by a few words like homeland, fatherland, country, native place, home..

It's Latin.
"I owe my allegiance to the country in which I prosper."
