Cy: Mae'r awyr ysgafn o gaeaf yn llenwi awyrgylch Castell Conwy, wedi'i neidio gyda phyllau golau haul oer a sibrydion gwynt y môr.
En: The light winter air filled the atmosphere of Castell Conwy, leaping with pools of cold sunlight and whispers of the sea wind.

En: "I'm managing an entire department now," said Gareth, combing his hair with casual consideration.

Cy: Roedd un bloc post yn gwmwl secig ar dalcen Gwyneth.
En: One post block was a dry cloud on Gwyneth's forehead.

Cy: "Da iawn, Gareth," meddalai Gwyneth yn annod.
En: "Well done, Gareth," said Gwyneth encouragingly.

Cy: "Ond, rai didau, beth aethoch chi i brynu'r seren nad oedd chwaeth at gyfeillgarwch da?
En: "But, some days, what did you buy the star that had no taste for good friendship?"

Cy: " Roedd ei lwc hi yn wir, a chyn asiantiaeth meddal meddai coelio.
En: Her look was sincere, and with a gentle agency, she spoke of believing.

Cy: Y golwg y nesaf, ymddangosodd dyfodiad yr ail a chyfrifol gwirJames.
En: The next sight, the second and accountable true James appeared.

Cy: Cymerodd mormall y talo a chuir i y bore a gyda bris yn da unswydd o newid bu colli wag Gareth.

Cy: Yn y ty Tal Sarddongen, Gareth ar gopa fyny y amser ymgeleisina ei ffrwd bywyd.
En: In the house of Tal Sarddongen, Gareth stood at the peak of his inner stream.

Cy: "Rwy'n unig," meddalai, mewn llais mor fach fel petai'n canu.
En: "I'm lonely," he said, in a voice so small it was almost a whisper.

Cy: Roedd hyn yn cael naws gefn wrth eich hyfforddiau cyntefig.
En: This had an aura of background to your primitive trainings.

Cy: Lledrith o ddysgu glywed, sefyllodd y tri yn dawel dan brif twr y castell.
En: Magics of listening heard, the three stood silently under the main tower of the castle.

Cy: O dan ei chynnig barhaol, chwarddodd Eleri a Gwyneth wrth eu gilydd ac effaithiodd ar eu hwynebau i wynebu.
En: Under its enduring offer, Eleri and Gwyneth laughed together, an effect that made their faces glow.

Cy: "Heb unrhyw wellhad, Gareth, nid yw daeorion yn pwyso," ychwanegodd Eleri yn digwyddol, yn curadu ei llaw ar ei law.
En: "Without any remedies, Gareth, burdens don't weigh," added Eleri incidentally, patting his hand on her hand.

Cy: Y seren oedd y tebygrwydd ar eu hwynebau a robin goncro ar ddyfod yn y drws cyfarod diwedd y dydd.
En: The star was the similarity on their faces and the wise robin, conquering forthcoming at the end of the meeting's door.

Cy: Wedi'r torreldeb hyddfryd eraill, roedd y tri'n teimlo wyneb byrin y palmant tra bod yr haul yn cilio.
En: After the bright solidarity of others, the three felt the fleeting surface of the pavement while the sun receded.

Cy: Yr oedd Gareth yn godro a Gwyneth yn gwenu yn sydyn, a brofalent ymhellach ar diriogaeth eu galwadau pennaf.
En: Gareth was contemplating, and Gwyneth was suddenly smiling, probing further into the territory of their principal calls.

En: The sea winds had already reconciled their friends this year, with a new promise to stay even closer through dry nights.

Cy: Roedd hyn yn ymddiriedaeth Gareth mewn cyfeillgarol dros "bell genedl" modd syfrdanol, ac erbyn i holl wystradl rhai a annogai ar gartrefgar.
En: This was Gareth's trust in friendship over the "distant nation" in a stunning way, and by the time all obstacles some encouraged a homely.
