Hür doğdum hür yaşarım.

Hangi çılgın beni esir alıcakmış şaşarım.

I was born free and I will live free?

What about the second sentence?

Quoting ial72

Hür doğdum hür yaşarım.

Hangi çılgın beni esir alıcakmış şaşarım.

I was born free and I will live free?

What about the second sentence?

This is very close to part of the Turkish national anthem below, which has been copied from another site.

Ben ezelden beridir hür yaşadım, hür yaşarım.

Hangi çılgın bana zincir vuracakmış? Şaşarım!

I have been free since the beginning and forever shall be so.

What madman shall put me in chains? I defy the very idea!

I agree with your translation of the first line,

and I´m guessing the changed part of the second line should be

Hangi çılgın beni esir alacakmış?

What madman shall capture me?

Şaşarım = I will be amazed/astounded, but if you look up şaşmak,

other meanings are possible

çok teşekkür!

I was thinking something like " I would be amazed if some mad person chained me"
