no it's Yiddish.It's an exclamation of dismay.
Woe is me would be the best translation.
I shall use it in a sentence.
When I read your question I shook my head sadly and muttered "oy vey" in disbelief.

Oy Vey! is an exclamation of dismay or exasperation meaning "woe is me," or "oh no".

It's a Yiddish phrase meaning Oh my God, or Oh goodness!

It's Jewish; Hebrew or Yiddish. It is equivalent to saying "Oh God" or "Jeez." It's a term or exasperation.

It's like saying "Ugh" and rolling your eyes. And it is definitely not French.
