Al le die Berge nog so Blou ...

These mountains are known as the Overberge, meaning across-the-mountains ...

There is a traditional Afrikaans song: Al le die berge nog so blou (translated directly: Even though the mountains are still blue ..

It tells the story of a sad lover whose partner is going away (with a joyful? heart) .. leaving him/her behind with pain and sadness. Her words will always be remembered, and with the mountains still blue, he will console himself with the morning star ...

Here is a link to the song, with French translation, and here is the same song, sung in Afrikaans by three popular Afrikaans artists.
