Há Sempre Alguém (English translation: "There's Always Someone") was the Portuguese entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1990, performed in Portuguese by Nucha.
The song is a ballad, with Nucha reminding her listeners that "There's always someone/Who still doesn't have as much as we do" but who also dreams the same dreams that the better-off members of society do.
The song was performed sixteenth on the night (following Yugoslavia's Tatiana Cameron (then known as "Tajči") with Hajde Da Ludujemo and preceding Ireland's Liam Reilly with Somewhere In Europe). At the close of voting, it had received 9 points, placing 20th in a field of 22.
It was succeeded as Portuguese representative at the 1991 Contest by Dulce with Lusitana Paixão.
