English translation:What the hell were you thinking?!
Explanation:
На самом деле, все зависит от контекста, который вы не привели. Если фраза бросается в ответ на положительное удивление от какого-то поступка (действия), то один из выше предложенных вариантов подойдет. А вот если человек сделал что-то, что напугало говорящего, то можно воспользоваться моим вариантом.

agree  Nathalie Stewart: Совершенно согласна. Возможно еще много вариантов, в зависимости от эмоций - "Aw, c'mon!" "Geez, man!" "Give me a break!" "Are you kidding?" etc. (говорящий "чуть не перес*ался"... от чего?)

Reference: how dare you do it? / How dare you make fun of me like that! / Come on!

Reference information:
I think the speaker got scared or shocked?
Come on-should work in such cases when not enough context provided.
How dare you! means when you want to show that you are very angry and shocked about what someone has done or said

disagree  Boris Shapiro: 2 out 3 of these so-called 'references' do not even remotely fit the stylistics of the original. Might as well have added 'Pardon' or 'Hark!'
