hmm it sounds like Latin.
I would guess he says:
“ego vocare te dolor
ego vocare te damno
ego vocare te ??? (sounds like facimsceus, but that’s not a real word)”
hmm I’m not sure how to translate this correctly. Maybe it’s supposed to mean.:
“I call you, pain! I call you, harm! I call you, ???”
But i’m not sure. I guess I almost forgot everything I learned about Latin in school.

If that is what he is saying then yeah that’s a pretty good translation. Though….”vocare” is an infinitive meaning “to call” (though it could also be a few other things as well since Latin endings mix but they don’t make sense here either)  the 1st person singular going with EGO (I) would be “voco” (ego voco = I call/summon).

So…in other words, they’re using a more “modern” Latin where infins were put in for proper Classic Latin. *shrug* Hollywood Latin as a Prof of mine used to say. They never get it right.
