Mostly you can only find the German lyrics online.
I translated the above ones myself, faster than searching the small corners of google ;-)

Die Fahne hoch
Die Reihen dicht geschlossen
SA marschiert
Mit ruhig festem Schritt
Kam'raden, die Rotfront
Und Reaktion erschossen
Marschier'n im Geist
In unser'n Reihen mit
Die Straße frei
Den braunen Bataillonen
Die Straße frei
Dem Sturmabteilungsmann
Es schau'n aufs Hakenkreuz
Voll Hoffnung schon Millionen
Der Tag für Freiheit
Und für Brot bricht an
Zum letzten Mal
Wird zum Appell geblasen
Zum Kampfe steh'n
Wir alle schon bereit
Bald flattern Hitlerfahnen
Über allen Straßen
Die Knechtschaft dauert
Nur noch kurze Zeit
-------------
Raise the flag high
The ranks are closed tight
The SA marches
With calm firm steps
(the following 4 lines are not in literal order but this is better in english)
Souls of the comrades
Shot by the reds on the front
Are in our ranks
And march along with us
Free the roads
The brown battalions
Clear the way (Free the roads)
The sturm departement man
Millions of people look at the swastika
Full of hope
Dawn breaks for freedom
And bread for all man
For the last time
The signal calls for appel (rolecall/call to arms)
Prepared to fight
We are already set
Soon Hitler flags will wave
Above every street
Enslavement lasts
Only for a short time yetComment

Soldat, Kamerad, faß Tritt Kamerad
Tritt unter die Gewehre
So muß ein jeder mit, Kamerad
Dem Vaterland zur Ehre
Dem Frieden dient das graue Kleid
Und nicht dem Krieg der Schmerzen
Wir tragen eine neue Zeit
In unsern jungen Herzen
Die Fahne hoch! Marschiert!
Voran der Führer führt
Mit unsern Fahnen ist der Sieg
Flieg, deutsche Fahne, flieg!
Soldat, Kamerad, pack zu, Kamerad
Nimm Hacke und nimm Spaten
Wir kenne keine Ruh, Kamerad
Dafür sind wir Soldaten
Von Grenze bis zur Grenze steht
Ein Heer von jungen Bauern
Was wir geackert und gesät
Das soll uns überdauern
Die Fahne hoch
Soldat, Kamerad, du weißt, Kamerad
Wir sind dem Land verschworen
Wir tragen seinen Geist, Kamerad
Den wir so lang verloren
In unseren Kolonnen zieht
Des Reiches Kraft und Wehre
Wir sind sein Geist, wir sind sein Lied
Und seine heil'ge Ehre
Die Fahne hoch
----------------------
Soldier, comrade, faß (? don't know this word.. fast?) footsteps comrade
Footsteps under arms/the weapons
Like this everyone must come along, comrade
To honour the homeland
The grey garments serve the peace
And not the war of pains
We carry a new era/time
In our young hearts
The flag held high! March!
Up front the Führer leads
Victory is with our flags
Fly, German flag, fly!
Soldier, comrade, catch on, comrade
Take pickaxes and take Spades
We don't know any rest, comrade
That's why we are soldiers
From border to border stands
An army of young farmers
What we have cultivated and sowed
Will outlive us
The flag held high
Soldier, comrade, you know, comrade
We are sworn to our land
We carry his spirit, comrade
Which we have missed so long
In our lines we pull (cultivates)
The power and tenability of the country
We are his spirit, we are his song
Andhis holy honour
The flags held highComment

Ah, I didn't know that about the Rotfront
So this is better?
Souls of the comrades
Who shot rotfront and resistance
Are in our ranks
And march along with us
Or does it mean they were shot BY rotfront and resistance (as they are in spirit still marching in the lines/ranksComment
