Depending how it was deleted, the audio file would either be right in the folder where it was (even if it no longer has a library entry) or else in the Trash/Recycle. Use Finder (or Windows Explorer) to see if you can find it, and if so, just re-add to the library.


Also, if it was a track purchased from the iTunes Store, you may be able to download a fresh copy at no charge:
