The latter means \u201c<em>salvation<\/em>\u201d (\u201c<em>le salut<\/em>\u201d in French). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our self-empowerment (all the implications behind the \u201c<em>enough\u201d\/enough<\/em> <em>is enough<\/em>\u201d) is actually what will lead us to our salvation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you Ms. Dolly El Khabbaz (for the lyrics and production), Ms. Karol Sakr (for the performance) et al.
