Spanish term or phrase: Buaj
Inclinada sobre ella, la bruja acercó un dedo terminado en una uña larga a los labios de Anabel, pero antes siquiera de tocarlos retrocedió, como si se hubiera pinchado.
-¡Buaj!, este ya no sirve -susurró con desagrado.

Explanation:
In questo contesto, anche se "buaj" solitamente viene utilizzato come interiezione di schifo, a me sembra più corretto utilizzare un sinonimo di "vaya".
Termine proposto: MANAGGIA O MALEDIZIONE.
A quanto pare si tratta più di un lamento.
