Lost all playlist by changing country or region

Hi,

I've lost all my playlist trying to listen to a song a friend has send. Trying to listen to it, it appear a message to change my country or region and this erase all my playlist. Now it only appear the name of them. Trying to change my country requieres to cancel my subscription and this eliminates my library, but my music is still on my Mac. So please, does someone knows how to recover it on my cellphone?
