Are Swedes mentioned in the Polish national anthem?

Yes. :unsure:

No Poles in the Swedish one.

Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

Why?

In the song, from the Napoleonic era, they are calling for Poles to fight Russian and German occupation.  At one point they refer to Polish resistance to the Swedes during the 'Great Deluge' of the 17th century.
Quote"This is a Russian warship. I propose you lay down arms and surrender to avoid bloodshed & unnecessary victims. Otherwise, you'll be bombed."

Zmiinyi defenders: "Russian warship, go fuck yourself."

The USA anthem has no Poles, but it does have Jose who can see the Panzer's Light.
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

Our anthem is essentially about various people retaking Poland from foreign occupiers. One of these were Swedes during the Swedish Deluge in 1650s. :P

I award you one Kosciuszko Point for the outstanding knowledge of Polish trivia. :P
