Además del "¡Vaya! de smarttrans tmb se podría usar "¡Joder!" (interj. U. para expresar enfado, irritación, asombro, etc.) pero claro, esto depende de para quien sea el texto...

agree Taña Dalglish : Agree. I also thought of "Damn" (for want of a word!); there is Damn and Damnn!!! depending on level of frustration as you have stated.

Sure, "Damn" is another option for the English text, and a widely used one it is! Thanks for your input Taña.
