Answer
Hi Nadiya,

You need something quickly! If you have someone who can help you with the Italian diction, then I recommend "Nel cor piu non mi sento". It is found in the 24 Italian Songs book published by Schirmer (I think.)

If you need an English song, then I would recommend that you find the "Pathways of Song" books (there are four volumes) and see if you might be able to find something in there. "All Through the Night" is a good Art Song that is fairly easy to learn, but can demonstrate beautiful singing. "By the Light of the Moon" is another song in "Pathways" that is a quick study. Good luck to you as you prepare, and please let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Best regards,

Donald
