Menina do alto da serra ("High ridge girl"), also known in Portugal just as Menina and for this reason sometimes entitled Menina (do alto da serra), was the Portuguese entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1971, performed in Portuguese by Tonicha.
The song is a ballad, with Tonicha describing a simple country girl. She presents the girl as an ideal to which everyone should aspire in their lives.
The song was performed fifteenth on the night, following the Netherlands' Saskia & Serge with "Tijd" and preceding Yugoslavia's Kruno Slabinac with "Tvoj dječak je tužan". At the close of voting, it had received 83 points, placing 9th (at the time the best Portuguese result) in a field of 18.
It was succeeded as Portuguese representative at the 1972 contest by Carlos Mendes with "A festa da vida".

Her inner universe collides with the reality of a world that does not accept her, a world to which she doesn't belong and that invariably she comes back with her playful delusions, mixing reality and fantasy. With the help of her Fairy Godmother, Amianto gathers strength to continue living in the hope of being happy someday.
