Okaaay, this one is tough.

At least I know it's not France. But I'm not familiar with the lyrics of the other anthems.

It would have been Poland. The anthem is also known as "Poland Is Not Yet Lost" in English.

Interestingly, also the words "Italy", "Bonaparte" and "Swedish" appear in this anthem.
