My question is which national anthems mention other countries and foreigners. This is very interesting what countries and foreigners influence one country's history so much to be mentioned in national anthem. So to start in Polish national anthem we have:1. Refrain: March, march Dąbrowski from Italy to Poland, Under your comand we'll unite with the Nation.
2. We'll cross Vistula, we'll cross Warta, we'll be Polish, Bonaparte gave us example how we should win.
3. Like Czarniecki to Poznan, after Swedish deluge, to save our fatherland, we'll return throgh the sea.

None for the Swedish one. It's originally not even a salutation to Sweden alone, but to all of the Nordic countries, as the real title implies: Song to the North.
The Danish royal anthem have multiple direct or indirect references to Swedes though. Edited by Styrbiorn - 18-May-2009 at 07:34 |

The original lyrics of the Portuguese anthem had a line going "Contra os bretões, marchar, marchar!" (March on against the British) - that was the intended meaning, though it was a mistake, as British in Portuguese is Britânicos, and Bretões actually refers to the inhabitants of Breizh.

Especially that British and Portugese were most times allied if I'm not wrong.

A relationship more out of mutual interest rather than mutual love...
![]() The national anthem was written in the late 19th century, in the aftermath of the British Ultimatum of 1890. There was real animosity against the British by the overall population.
