To cóż, że ze Szwecji, to nic, że ze Szwecji.

Translation
So what if it's from Sweden, it's nothing that it's from Sweden.
Vocabulary
- cóż — so what, well (emphatic form of 'co')
- że — that (conjunction)
- ze — from (variant of 'z' before consonant clusters)
- Szwecja — Sweden (genitive: Szwecji)
Grammar note
'Ze Szwecji' uses the genitive after 'z/ze' (from). 'Ze' is used instead of 'z' before the 'Szw' cluster to ease pronunciation. The phrase is a common ironic expression — the repetition intensifies the dismissiveness.
