Wala - Urdu term of endearment, can apply both to lovers and children (mind
out of gutter please) though likely not to parents (hey, my parents speak no
Urdu, how should I know. Urdu is spoken in India and Pakistan by tens if not
hundreds of millions of people and is basically right up there with Hindi and
English).
Voilà - French, fig. "there you go", literally "look there" (voir, là).
Try not to confuse the two in the future. Correct pronunciation is actually:
voilà "vwalah"
wala looks like it sounds, accent on first syllable.
Voilà can take the accent on the first syallable for emphasis of "surprise" "Et
puis, VWOIla! Quelle belle surprise!" The accent is placed on the second
syllable to emphasis "a fact". "Et puis, voiLA, c'était fait."
See, Zebda. "têtu comme deux chameaux/qui se dispute pour une verre d'eau" -
car, je suis.
Can you tell I do this for a living?

The ignorant suffer therefrom: put them out of their misery - teach them.
