Lyrics:

‘Die Fahne hoch! Die Reihen fest geschlossen!
SA marschiert mit ruhig festem Schritt.
Kam'raden, die Rotfront und Reaktion erschossen,
marschier'n im Geist in unsern 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 Sturmalarm geblasen!
Zum Kampfe steh'n wir alle schon bereit!
Schon flattern Hitlerfahnen über allen Straßen.
Die Knechtschaft dauert nur noch kurze Zeit!

Die Fahne hoch! Die Reihen fest geschlossen!
SA marschiert mit ruhig festem Schritt.
Kam'raden, die Rotfront und Reaktion erschossen,
marschier'n im Geist in unsern Reihen mit.’

‘Raise the Flag! Our ranks are closed tightly!
The SA marches with firm steady steps.
Comrades, shot by the red front and reactionaries,
still march in spirit within our ranks.

Clear the streets for the Brown Battalions!
Clear the streets for the Storm Detachment man!
Millions are looking upon the Hooked Cross full of hope,
the day of freedom and of bread dawns on!

For the last time the call to arms is sounded!
For the battle we all stand prepared!
Already Hitler’s flags fly over all the streets.
The time of bondage will be ended soon!

Raise the Flag! Our ranks are closed tightly!
The SA marches with firm steady steps.
Comrades, shot by the red front and reactionaries,
still march in spirit within our ranks.’
