This is a great tango by the XX century composer Roland Dyens.
You can find in my page (http://www.geocities.com/vienna/6619)
the sheet music and the song played by me (In MP3 format)
to make it easier to learn it. Good Luck!!
(Tablature explanation at the end)

Translations from the sheet music (it's in french!):
"melodie claire"
clear melody
"comme un clin daeil"
like a wink of the eye
(this means play it quickly, and with a 'cheeky' sound)
"accompagnement leger"
light accompaniment
"deplacer la meme position en soulevant le doigt 1"
Use the same position lifting off one finger
"soulever le barre entre les accords"
lift the barre _between_ the chords
"gliss sur 3"
slide [up] on the third string [D]
"effleurer les cordes"
not sure...
"tragique!"
tragic! =)
"moins tragique"
less tragic
"gliss lento sans perare le tempo"
slide softly without losing the tempo
"pouce pulpe (bien eteindre les basses)"
??? mute the basses with your thumb
Corrections made:
changes are indicated with a # above the tab.
Mostly just wrong notes, etc.
the only real big ones were the last diminished chord
in the tremolo part (it is [xx0101] NOT [xx1010]) and
the chord in the bridge, which is [x x 10 9 7 7] and
not [x x 10 9 8 8].

The last note is not a harmonic, which gives time to get down
the bottom of the neck.

"deplacer la meme position en soulevant le doigt 1"
means 'Use the same position lifting off one finger'
this is when you slide down the neck during the
tremolo-diminished part. You gliss on the top three
strings, and lift up finger 1 because it squeaks on
the winding and/or slows you down
use upstroke with the thumb on the diminished chords

p Pizz-------/
^
Pizz is Pizzicatto:
palm mute at the bridge and pluck the notes with
p (the thumb). play these short and loud.
A.H. is artificial harmonic:
fret the first note with the left hand, point the second note
with i (index) and pluck the string with a.

"soulever le barre entre les accords"
means 'lift the barre _between_ the chords'
lifting the bar during the rasgueado part means you can
strum only the three strings easily - do not lift it off
the strings, just lift the frets, so the that the rest of
the unwanted notes in the chord are muted
Note:
The x's is a hit on the body of the guitar with right
hand ring finger (just below the bridge)

the score is as tabbed, but i play the B notes indicated # as
C because it sounds better - might be an error in the sheet?

"tragique!" : tragic! =)
i substitute the [xx333x] chord with a big [xx2330] and
use a downstroke with 'a' for that 'tragique' tone..

"pouce pulpe (bien eteindre les basses)"
???
I think it means to mute the basses with your thumb.
i.e. stop the E string - best way is to damp with the
back of the thumb of right hand

Harmonic Hammer Pull Arpeggiate Sustain Harp
on off Harmonic
-There are certain harp harmonics throughout the piece, shown
like this:
|-----------|
|--3<15>----|
|-----------|
|-----------|
|-----------|
|-----------|
This harmonics are done by pressing the note at the fret number
shown BEFORE the parenthesis, resting your right hand index
finger over the fret shown in the parenthesis, and playing the
string with the right hand's middle or ring finger (The ring
finger works better for me)
-Remember that a "C" followed by a number indicates a bar in that
fret.
