Question My-oh-my

How would you translate it into Spanish?

Dios mío, oh, Dios mío (?)
Caramba, caramba (?)
Dios, ay, Dios (?)
Ay, ay, ay...

I believe these are acceptable options. Any better idea?

¡Cielo santo!
¡Oh cielos!
¡Dios mío!
¡Por todos los cielos/santos!


Or a longer one from my grandmother: ¡Dios y la Virgen y todos los santos!

Es que debo ser demasiado ferpeccionista... buscando una cualidad ignota, más allá de los límites cognoscitivos y de la razón... (My-oh-my) (Ay-ay-ay... que se me va la olla)
(Gracias, Chileno, tú siempre "to the point!")

Gracias, Angélica. Eso me recuerda a la mía (mi abuela): "¡Madre del Divino Verbo!"
Ay, Dios... Dios mío... (Buenas opciones, las que me das.)
Y usado de otra forma, al menos en España, pero similar: ¡Ay, Jesús! ¡Ay Señor!
Gracias a todos por la inspiración.
