Story Transcript:

Cy: Wrth i'r bws gwibio trwy goedwig gymylog tuag at Eryri, roedd Gwyneth yn syllu allan ohono, ei chalon yn curo'n gyflym.
En: As the bus sped through the misty forest towards Eryri, Gwyneth stared out of it, her heart beating quickly.

Cy: Roedd Aberystwyth High School yn golwg bell erbyn hyn, ond mae'r antur newydd yn ei charlamu ymlaen.
En: Aberystwyth High School was a distant sight by now, but the new adventure was galloping her forward.

Cy: Roedd hi wedi cynllunio am y taith hon ers wythnosau, wedi iddi benderfynu sicrhau llun perffaith o'r copa i'w gyflwyno mewn cystadleuaeth gelf ysgol.
En: She had been planning this trip for weeks, after deciding to secure the perfect picture of the summit to present in a school art competition.

Cy: "Bydd y tywydd yn her," meddai Emyr, ei athro bioleg, wrth gweddill y dosbarth.
En: "The weather will be a challenge," said Emyr, her biology teacher, to the rest of the class.

Cy: Roedd ei llais yn gryf a chadarn, hyd yn oed wrth iddo siarad am ymdrech dangos sefydlogrwydd.
En: His voice was strong and steady, even as he spoke of an effort showing stability.

Cy: "Mae'n dda cael eich atgoffa," meddai Anwen, eistedd ar ei heisteddle fel arfer, ei golwg amheus yn llygaid Gwyneth.
En: "It’s good to be reminded," said Anwen, sitting in her usual seat, her skeptical look in Gwyneth's eyes.

Cy: "Rhaid bod yn ofalus."
En: "We must be careful."

Cy: "Rhaid ceisio," meddai Gwyneth, ei brwdfrydedd heb ei guddio.
En: "We must try," said Gwyneth, her enthusiasm on display.

Cy: Roedd hi'n teimlo'r dynfa gref i gyffwrdd â thir uchel y mynyddoedd ac i cipio’r olygfa.
En: She felt a strong urge to touch the high land of the mountains and capture the view.

Cy: Wrth iddyn nhw ddechrau ddringo'r llwybr tuag at gopa'r Wyddfa, rhew y gwanwyn hwyr yn y gwynt yn eu rhedeg.
En: As they began to climb the path towards the summit of Yr Wyddfa, the late spring frost in the wind swept past them.

Cy: Roedd y cymylau'n llaes, yn cuddio'r copa fel mwg.
En: The clouds were hanging low, hiding the summit like smoke.

Cy: "Yn ddiogel," atgoffodd Anwen gydag ochenaid.
En: "Safely," reminded Anwen with a sigh.

Cy: "Mae'n bwysig."
En: "It's important."

Cy: Doedd Emyr ddim am gymryd risgiau di-angen.
En: Emyr did not want to take unnecessary risks.

Cy: "Rhaid i ni aros gyda'n gilydd," dywedodd wrth bawb, gan ddal ei ffon gerdded yn dyn.
En: "We must stay together," he told everyone, holding his walking stick tightly.

Cy: Ond roedd tân yng ngolwg Gwyneth.
En: But there was fire in Gwyneth's eyes.

Cy: "Dod ymlaen," anogodd, gan ddechrau symud; roedd ei phrif ffocws ar y llun hwnnw.
En: "Come on," she encouraged, beginning to move; her main focus was on that picture.

Cy: Roedd ar ei cholled.
En: She was determined.

Cy: Wrth iddynt ganolbwyntio, y cymylau'n suddo'n araf.
En: As they focused, the clouds slowly descended.

Cy: Ar y copa, goroesi enbyd a diddordeb, roedd golygfa arbennig yn aros.
En: At the summit, surviving the adversity and curiosity, a remarkable view awaited.

Cy: Daeth haul y dydd i ben i'r llinell orwel, yn glep o felyn a phorffor.
En: The sun of the day reached the horizon line, in a burst of yellow and purple.

Cy: Roedd eiliad hudolus yn eu taro i gyd mewn tawelwch.
En: A magical moment struck them all into silence.

Cy: “Rhaid gweld!” gwaeddodd Gwyneth, tynnu’r camera a chlicio.
En: "Must see!" shouted Gwyneth, pulling out the camera and clicking.

Cy: Wrth iddynt ddod yn ôl, siaradodd Gwyneth a Anwen â’i gilydd, calonau wedi'u llenwi â balchder ac agwedd newydd.
En: As they returned, Gwyneth and Anwen talked to each other, hearts filled with pride and a new perspective.

Cy: "Rwy'n falch inni fentro," dywedodd Anwen, ei holl strach wedi llacio'n ysgafnach erbyn heddiw.
En: "I'm glad we dared," said Anwen, all her tension now lightened.

Cy: Yn Aberystwyth High School, gyflwynodd Gwyneth ei llun.
En: Back at Aberystwyth High School, Gwyneth presented her picture.

Cy: Gyda'r llun hwnnw, roedd Gwyneth wedi darganfod mwy nag y gall y natur cynnig, ond hefyd ei chorfforaeth bersonol.
En: With that picture, Gwyneth had discovered more than nature can offer, but also her own personal growth.

Cy: Roedd y dyfarniad yn glir.
En: The judgment was clear.

Cy: Enillodd hi'r gystadleuaeth.
En: She won the competition.

Cy: Roedd ei thadau yn brolio ei llun, wrth iddi gynyddu mewn hyder a gwybodaeth newydd.
En: Her parents boasted about her picture, as she grew in confidence and new knowledge.

Cy: Roedd ei chyfoedion wedi dysgu ein bod ni'n cyrraedd ein nodau dim ond trwy ddal ati.
En: Her peers had learned that we only reach our goals by persevering.

Cy: Gwers Gwyneth oedd am byth—gallu mentyro gyda chymorth y rhai o'ch cwmpas.
En: Gwyneth's lifelong lesson—having the courage to venture with the support of those around you.

Cy: Roedd yr hyn a ddechreuodd fel diwrnod cyffredin wedi ennyn canmoliaeth fawr o longyfarchiad.
En: What began as an ordinary day inspired great praise and congratulations.

Cy: Roedd y daith i'r copa yn hanes na fyddai'n diflannu o'i meddwl byth.
En: The journey to the summit became a story that would never fade from her memory.

Story Transcript:

Cy: Yn nghanol y Parc Cenedlaethol Eryri, roedd Gareth, Carys, a Rhiannon yn dechrau ar eu gwaith ymchwil amgylcheddol.
En: In the heart of Parc Cenedlaethol Eryri (Snowdonia National Park), Gareth, Carys, and Rhiannon were beginning their environmental research work.

Cy: Roedd aer y gwanwyn yn oeri yn y bore, a chŵl melfed y bryniau yn ennyn bywyd newydd.
En: The spring air was chilly in the morning, and the velvet slopes of the hills were sparking new life.

Cy: Eithr, roedd y tywydd yn ansefydlog, gyda chymylau duon yn groes i'r gwellhad cynnar.
En: However, the weather was unstable, with dark clouds against the early improvement.

Cy: Gareth, gwyddonydd amgylcheddol gyda breuddwydion mawr, trodd ei olygon tuag at y mynyddoedd.
En: Gareth, an environmental scientist with big dreams, turned his gaze toward the mountains.

Cy: Ei nod oedd cwblhau astudiaeth hollbwysig i wella arferion cynaliadwy yng Nghymru.
En: His goal was to complete a crucial study to improve sustainable practices in Wales.

Cy: Roedd yr arhosfa hon yn golygu cynnig newydd i'w gymrodorion academaidd.
En: This endeavor meant a new proposal for his academic colleagues.

Cy: Carys, ei gynorthwyydd maes, roedd yn gyffrous ond hefyd yn ofalus.
En: Carys, his field assistant, was excited but also cautious.

Cy: Carai hi'r gymuned naturiol; roedd ei hynod o ofal dros gadwraeth y parc.
En: She loved the natural community; her particular care for the park's conservation was noteworthy.

Cy: "Dylwn ni fynd ati i beidio gor-bwysleisio ar gyfrifiadau Gareth," meddai Carys.
En: "We should avoid over-emphasizing on calculations, Gareth," said Carys.

Cy: Rhiannon, gyda'i deithiau a'i profiad eu hymddiriedolaethau gyda bywyd gwyllt lleol, edrychodd y ddau, gan ddweud, "Mae'r ecosystem yma'n fregus, does neb yn deall hynny fel fi."
En: Rhiannon, with her journeys and her experience in local wildlife trusts, looked at the two and said, "This ecosystem is fragile, no one understands that like I do."

Cy: Roedd dadlau rhwng Gareth, sy'n gwrthod derbyn bod yr holl welliannau a wnaeth i'w borwr dethol aneffeithiol ac yn peryglu'r dirwedd.
En: There was a disagreement between Gareth, who refused to accept that all the improvements he made to his selected grazing model were ineffective and threatening the landscape.

Cy: "Rhaid i ni fwrw ymlaen. Mae amser yn fyr!" meddai.
En: "We must push on. Time is short!" he said.

Cy: Ond roedd braw am un hanfod unrhyw wrthg doen.
En: But there was fear of an impending storm.

Cy: "Pa mor barod ydych chi am storm fel hyn?"
En: "How prepared are you for a storm like this?"

Cy: Ar Ddydd Gŵyl Dewi, yn sydyn, rhuthrodd storm drawodd yr Eryri i gyd.
En: On St. David's Day, suddenly, a storm swept across the whole of Eryri.

Cy: Dechreuodd y tîm gasglu eu hoffer mewn pryd pan sylweddolodd Gareth bod e ddim yn ddigon parod.
En: The team began to gather their equipment just in time when Gareth realized he wasn't adequately prepared.

Cy: Gostyngodd ei dynfa yn sydyn wrth wylio'r gymuned naturiol yn brwydro'r tywydd.
En: His enthusiasm suddenly dropped as he watched the natural community battle the weather.

Cy: Ymddiheurodd Gareth wrth Rhiannon a Carys.
En: Gareth apologized to Rhiannon and Carys.

Cy: "Mae'n amlwg bod cynnwys eich pryderon yn hanfodol. Heb hynny, byddai'r effaith yn andwyol," cyfaddefodd Gareth.
En: "It's clear that including your concerns is essential. Without it, the impact would be detrimental," admitted Gareth.

Cy: Cydweithiodd y tîm i ailstrwythuro'r dull, gyda phwyslais newydd ar geisio'r dynfa lawn o Rhiannon fel arweinydd y tîm ochr amgylcheddol.
En: The team collaborated to restructure the approach, with a new emphasis on seeking the full guidance of Rhiannon as the environmental side team leader.

Cy: Parchai Gareth, yn awr, yr un cydbwysedd rhwng datblygiad gwyddonol a chadwraeth byd natur.
En: Gareth now respected the balance between scientific development and nature conservation.

Cy: A ninnau'n ffwrdd yn y parc, gyda fortuno Gareth bellach wedi'i osod ar waranted a deall gwreiddiol.
En: And so, they went on in the park, with Gareth's endeavors now grounded in understanding and appreciation.

Cy: Roedd sŵn canu'r adar a phlantfferm y gwanwyn newydd, wrth arddangos fel rhai addawol, yn arddyweddyd eu llwyddiant newydd.
En: The sound of birds singing and the promise of the new spring, exhibiting as portents of success, underscored their new achievement.

Cy: Mae Eleri yn syfrdano, ond yn ymateb gydag ychydig o wên.
En: Eleri is taken aback but responds with a small smile.

Cy: "Ia, dw i'n ei ffeindio'n hynod ddiddorol," ateb hi, yn falch o gael cwmni annisgwyl.

En: As they finish their tea, Eleri feels more confident and open to forming new friendships.

Cy: Mae’r te poeth a’r sgwrs braf wedi ei chysuro, ac mae hi’n edrych ymlaen at ddyfnderoedd newydd mewn perthynas newydd hon.
En: The hot tea and the pleasant conversation have comforted her, and she looks forward to new depths in this new relationship.

Story Transcript:

Cy: Ar fore Gŵyl Dewi yn farchnad ganolog Caerdydd, roedd yr awyrgylch yn llawn egni a dathlu.
En: On the morning of Gŵyl Dewi at the central market in Caerdydd, the atmosphere was full of energy and celebration.

Cy: Roedd baneri baner Cymru yn chwifio o bob cornel.
En: Flags of the baner Cymru were waving from every corner.

Cy: Roedd Eleri, myfyrwraig chwilfrydig, yn cerdded rhwng stondinau lliwgar, ei llygaid yn brathu pob manylyn.
En: Eleri, a curious student, walked between colorful stalls, her eyes catching every detail.

Cy: Roedd y farchnad yn wych y diwrnod yma, gydag arogleuon bara ffres a chaws o bob cwr.
En: The market was splendid that day, with the aromas of fresh bread and cheese from every corner.

Cy: Ond roedd rhywbeth yn codi ei ochr body.
En: But something was raising her interest.

Cy: Wrth gerdded heibio stondin Gwyn, gwelodd bag brown bach, anghyffredin ei olwg, wedi ei adael gan ddieithryn.
En: As she walked past Gwyn's stall, she saw a small brown bag, unusual in appearance, left by a stranger.

Cy: “Be’ oedd o ran bod?” meddai Eleri yn dawel.
En: "What could it be?" Eleri murmured quietly.

Cy: “Eleri!” gwaeddodd Gwyn, yn ystyfnig ond yn garedig, wrth weld gridan ar ei hwyneb.
En: "Eleri!" shouted Gwyn, stubborn but kind, upon seeing a grin on her face.

Cy: “Rwyt ti’n chwilio am rywbeth arbennig heddiw?”
En: "Are you looking for something special today?"

Cy: “Dim heb ragor am y bag yna, Gwyn,” atebodd Eleri, yn estyn i gymryd y bag heb orchwyl pellach.
En: “Not without more about that bag, Gwyn,” replied Eleri, reaching out to take the bag without further ado.

Cy: Gwyn wenu, heb awdurdod, “Cofiwch... nid yw pob hyn sy’n pefrirog yn aur.”
En: Gwyn smiled, without authority, "Remember... not all that glitters is gold."

Cy: Dewisodd Eleri ymddiried yn Rhys, pencenadur pensiynedig a ffrind ocsiyn busnes ymchwilio.
En: Eleri decided to trust Rhys, a retired head and a friend of an investigation business.

Cy: “Rhys!” galwodd hi, gan ddarganfod ei lys at baned coffi mae’n hysbys ei fwynhau ar foreau fel hyn.
En: "Rhys!" she called, finding his usual corner with a cup of coffee he is known to enjoy on mornings like these.

Cy: “Eleri, beth yw’r mater?” gofynnodd y dyddiso, wedi synnwyd ond yn barod i helpu.
En: "Eleri, what’s the matter?" asked the gentleman, surprised but ready to help.

Cy: “Rwyf wedi dod ar draws rhywbeth diddorol,” meddai hi, gan ddidanu bag i ddwylo Rhys.
En: "I've come across something interesting," she said, entertaining the bag into Rhys's hands.

Cy: Rhys edrychodd ar y bag cyn arogli’r amgueddfa.
En: Rhys looked at the bag before smelling the mystery.

Cy: “Hmm, mae’n amlwg yn cuddio rhywbeth mwy gwerthfawr na’n dyfalu. Dewch i ni agor yn syth.”
En: “Hmm, it’s clearly hiding something more valuable than we’re guessing. Let’s open it right away.”

Cy: Yn ofalus, agorwyd Rhys y pecyn.
En: Carefully, Rhys opened the package.

Cy: Yn ei fewn, roedd nodyn heb arwyddo, ac hefyd neges mewn cod rhyfedd.
En: Inside, there was a note without a signature and also a message in a strange code.

Cy: Eleri, yn sicr mai hwn oedd ei phwysigrwydd, edrych fwyaf hir ar Rhys.
En: Eleri, certain of its importance, looked more intensely at Rhys.

Cy: “Mae’n rhaid bod hwn yn bethau o wirionedd,” byrfyrodd Rhys, yn dod â ystyr i’r cyfan.
En: "This must be matters of truth," Rhys muttered, bringing meaning to it all.

Cy: Ar ôl gwneud ymchwil manwl dros ben, darganfyddant eu bod wedi derbyn cod cyfrin rygbi.
En: After conducting extremely detailed research, they discovered they had received a secret rugby code.

Cy: “Maen nhw am drefnu cyfarfod cudd.”
En: "They’re planning to arrange a secret meeting."

Cy: Gyda hynny, cefnogaeth Eleri a Rhys llwyddodd i ddirgelwch ei gudd, gan ddad-ddatgelu fod y neges yn cyfeirio at gasgliad elusennol ar gyfer dathliadau Gŵyl Dewi.
En: With that, thanks to the support of Eleri and Rhys, they succeeded in uncovering the mystery, revealing that the message referred to a charitable gathering for the Gŵyl Dewi celebrations.

Cy: Yn gorffen, roedd Eleri’n gwybod bod y pecyn yn cynnwys rhoddion a negeseuon personol gan roddwyr anhysbys.
En: In conclusion, Eleri knew that the package contained donations and personal messages from anonymous donors.

Cy: Sicrhau bod y pecyn yn cyrraedd ei le priodol mewn pryd i’r digwyddiad oedd yn bwysicach na dim arall i Eleri.
En: Ensuring that the package reached its proper place in time for the event was more important than anything else to Eleri.

Cy: Am y tro cyntaf, roedd Eleri yn ymwybodol o’i gallu i ddatrys problemau ac yn gwerthfawrogi bwysigrwydd cymunedol.
En: For the first time, Eleri was aware of her ability to solve problems and appreciated the importance of community.

Cy: Yn thro olaf, roedd mor gywir o feddwl, nid oedd pob datrys yn dod trwy drysor.
En: In the final turn, she was as right as ever in thinking that not every resolution comes through treasure.

Cy: Roedd gwirdrysor yn gorwedd yn haelioni.
En: The true treasure lies in generosity.

Story Transcript:

Cy: Ar fore glasurol yng nghwmni gwynt y môr, roedd Gareth yn sefyll yn ei weithdy.
En: On a classic morning accompanied by the sea breeze, Gareth was standing in his workshop.

Cy: Roedd y lle'n llawn arogl coed ffres a'r sŵn crynu mân o'i offer.
En: The place was filled with the scent of fresh wood and the subtle hum of his tools.

Cy: Er mai crefftwyr medrus oedd e, roedd diffyg hyder Gareth yn ei atal rhag arddangos ei waith i'r byd.
En: Although he was a skilled craftsman, Gareth's lack of confidence prevented him from showcasing his work to the world.

Cy: Yn y cyfamser, roedd Carys, trefnydd lleol, yn rhedeg o gwmpas fel yr aderyn gwynnog ar ddiwrnod cyntaf y gwanwyn.
En: Meanwhile, Carys, a local organizer, was running around like a white-throated bird on the first day of spring.

Cy: Roedd hi'n awyddus i gynnal gŵyl Gŵyl Ddewi Sant a chreu teimlad o gymuned ymysg trigolion yr ardal.
En: She was eager to host the St. David's Day festival and create a sense of community among the area’s residents.

Cy: Ond roedd llwyth gwaith Carys yn dechrau pwyso arni, a'r ofn o fethu yn torri ar draws eich brwdfrydedd.
En: But Carys' workload started to weigh on her, and the fear of failure was cutting into her enthusiasm.

Cy: Wrth i strydoedd cul y cwm aros llawn pobl yn paratoi ar gyfer y gŵyl, cynigiodd Gareth fynd at Carys a chynnig ei help.
En: As the narrow streets of the valley remained full of people preparing for the festival, Gareth offered to approach Carys and offer his help.

Cy: "Gallwn ni weithio gyda'n gilydd," meddai Gareth yn feiddgar am unwaith.
En: "We can work together," said Gareth boldly for once.

Cy: Roedd Carys yn falch o glywed hyn, gan ei bod yn gwybod bod Gareth yn ddyn medrus.
En: Carys was pleased to hear this, knowing that Gareth was a skilled man.

Cy: Nid oedd popeth yn hawdd.
En: Not everything was easy.

Cy: Roedd llu o waith trefnu yn wynebu Carys, ond pan gymerodd Gareth yr awenau ar gyfer creu llwyfan arddangos ar ei hun, rhyddhaodd hynny ei phwysau.
En: A multitude of organizing tasks faced Carys, but when Gareth took the reins to create the display stage on his own, it relieved her pressure.

Cy: Gan weithio law yn llaw, roedd dawn Carys mewn trefnu yn cyfuno'n wych â gallu Gareth i greu rhywbeth hardd.
En: Working hand in hand, Carys's organizational talent combined beautifully with Gareth's ability to create something beautiful.

Cy: Fodd bynnag, daeth taranau annisgwyl ar ddiwrnod yr ŵyl.
En: However, unexpected thunderstorms arrived on the day of the festival.

Cy: Cyn belled ag yr oedd y meddyliad diwedd, roedd rhaid symud popeth i Neuadd Gymunedol fawr y pentref.
En: As far as the last decision went, everything had to be moved to the village's large Community Hall.

Cy: Roedd posib i baratoi’r neuadd oherwydd penderfyniad cyflym Carys a Gareth.
En: It was possible to prepare the hall thanks to Carys and Gareth's quick decision.

Cy: Y tu mewn i'r neuadd a gawson nhw'r gŵyl, roedd pobl yn ei chael hi'n anodd i gredu sut lwyddodd Carys a Gareth i droi sefyllfa anodd yn llwyddiant, ond roeddent yn falch.
En: Inside the hall where they held the festival, people found it hard to believe how Carys and Gareth managed to turn a difficult situation into a success, but they were pleased.

Cy: Pan agorodd Gareth ei stondin, cafodd munud i weld pobl yn gwerthfawrogi eu cerfiadau gyda chyd-barch.
En: When Gareth opened his stall, he took a moment to see people appreciating his carvings with mutual respect.

Cy: Dechreuodd crefft Gareth ddisgleirio ac fe ddaeth y derbyniad cynhesach nag erioed.
En: Gareth's craftsmanship began to shine, and the reception was warmer than ever.

Cy: Ar ddiwedd y dydd, pan saethodd y diwrnod i mewn i'r hwyrnos, teimlodd Carys fod ei hymnaws i ymddiried a threfnu tîm wedi talu ar ei ganfed.
En: At the end of the day, as the day shot into the evening, Carys felt that her willingness to trust and organize a team had paid off.

Cy: Teimlodd Gareth yn fwy hyderus nag erioed, gan sylweddoli'r gwerth yn cydweithio.
En: Gareth felt more confident than ever, realizing the value of collaboration.

Cy: A’r rhai yn gadael, roedd yr awyrgylch llawn cynhesrwydd ac undod.
En: As people were leaving, the atmosphere was full of warmth and unity.

Cy: Daeth y gŵyl yn siarad yr ardal: digwyddiad lle'r oedd cymdogion wedi dod yn ffrindiau, diolch i Gareth a Carys.
En: The festival became the talk of the area: an event where neighbors had become friends, thanks to Gareth and Carys.

Cy: Roeddent wedi dysgu'r gwerth gwirioneddol o weithio fel tîm a'r nerth sy'n dod o edmygedd cyffredin ar hyd a lled ein cymuned.
En: They had learned the true value of teamwork and the strength that comes from shared admiration throughout our community.

Story Transcript:

Cy: Yn y gwanwyn, yr haul yn taenu ei belydrau cynnes drwy'r ffenestri mawr yn Ysbyty Prifysgol Caerdydd.
En: In the spring, the sun spread its warm rays through the large windows of Ysbyty Prifysgol Caerdydd (Cardiff University Hospital).

Cy: Roedd Gwyn yn eistedd yn ystafell aros glân ac wedi'i osod yn daclus.
En: Gwyn sat in a clean and neatly arranged waiting room.

Cy: Roedd golau'r dydd yn gwasgaru'n feddal dros y llawr llachar ac yn codi gobeithion cysgodol i'r ystafell brysur.
En: The daylight softly dispersed over the bright floor, lifting shadowed hopes in the busy room.

Cy: Roedd yn brysur hefyd, yn brysur ac yn glywadwy gyda seiniau ffôniau'n canu a phobl yn sibrwd.
En: It was busy too, busy and audible with the sounds of phones ringing and people whispering.

Cy: Roedd Gwyn, artist deallgar, wedi dod yno i aros am ganlyniadau prawf meddygol.
En: Gwyn, an insightful artist, had come there to wait for the results of a medical test.

Cy: Mae pryder wedi bod yn ei gnoi ers tro, gan fod ei ddychymyg tendu i fynd ar gyfeiliorn gyda gweledigaethau hudol a llawn ofn am ei ddyfodol.
En: Anxiety had been gnawing at him for a while, as his imagination tended to wander to magical and fearful visions of his future.

Cy: Roedd penedig i beidio â gadael i'r meddyliau hynny gymryd drosodd.
En: He was determined not to let those thoughts take over.

Cy: Penderfynodd Gwyn i dynnu lluniau.
En: Gwyn decided to draw.

Cy: Agorodd ei lyfr braslunio a'i bysedd yn llithro dros y papur gwyn fel pe bai ei esgidiau ar balmentydd Cardiff.
En: He opened his sketchbook and his fingers glided over the white paper as if his shoes were on the pavements of Cardiff.

Cy: Gafaelodd mewn pensil a dechreuodd dynnu pobl oedd yn eistedd o'i gwmpas.
En: He grabbed a pencil and started drawing people sitting around him.

Cy: Yno roedd Trevor, brawd enfawr y tîmau pêl-droed leol.
En: There was Trevor, a huge brother of the local football teams.

Cy: Roedd e'n gyda gorwedd godwr nodau, ond ei lygaid yn dangos galar dwfn. Gwyn yn dal y teimlad hwn ar ael ei thin.
En: He lay quietly, yet his eyes showed deep sorrow, which Gwyn captured on the crease of his brow.

Cy: Yna sylwodd ar ferch ifanc a'i dogfenni a'i dwylo wedi lluchio'n ofalus yn ei helynt.
En: Then he noticed a young woman with her documents and hands thrown carefully in her distress.

Cy: Ei enw oedd Eleri, doctor a fyddai'n darparu y newyddion i Gwyn yn hwyrach heddiw.
En: Her name was Eleri, a doctor who would be delivering the news to Gwyn later today.

Cy: Roedd ei esmwythder yn tawelu'r ystafell gyfan, ei llais tawel yn symffoni mewn geg agos i pobl eraill.
En: Her calm presence soothed the entire room, her quiet voice a symphony close to others' ears.

Cy: Wrth i Gwyn dynnu, roedd braidd yn gallu anghofio am ofnau ei hun.
En: As Gwyn drew, he was almost able to forget his own fears.

Cy: Ond cafodd ei ailddirgrynu gan ei enw yn cael ei alw.
En: But he was jolted back by his name being called.

Cy: Roedd hi'n amser clywed ei dynged.
En: It was time to hear his fate.

Cy: Cerddai Gwyn tuag at Eleri gyda phwysau ar ei ysgwyddau.
En: Gwyn walked toward Eleri with a weight on his shoulders.

Cy: "Helo Gwyn," meddalodd Eleri, ei llygaid yn cwrdd â'i rhai ef gyda llawenydd cynnil.
En: "Hello Gwyn," Eleri said softly, her eyes meeting his with gentle joy.

Cy: "Mae gen i newyddion da. Nid yw'r canlyniadau mor ddrwg ag yr oeddem yn disgwyl."
En: "I have good news. The results are not as bad as we were expecting."

Cy: Takeisyl y trawyd, lledodd Gwyn â gostyngiad calon.
En: Struck by relief, Gwyn's heart lightened.

Cy: Roedd yn teimlo fel petai rhywun wedi cymryd blanced fawr o'i ysgwyddau.
En: It felt as if someone had lifted a heavy blanket off his shoulders.

Cy: "O," gwnaeth Gwyn gydnabod mewn anadl, "diolch."
En: "Oh," Gwyn acknowledged with a sigh, "thank you."

Cy: Pan adawodd Yr ysbyty, roedd Gwyn megis dechrau newydd.
En: When he left Yr ysbyty (the hospital), Gwyn was like a new beginning.

Cy: Yr haul yn dal i wenu drwy'r ffenestri, oedd yr un haul ag y diwrnod hwnnw y daeth Gwyn i sylweddoli pwysigrwydd byw yn y presennol.
En: The sun still smiled through the windows, the same sun as that day Gwyn realized the importance of living in the present.

Cy: O'r diwrnod hwnnw ymlaen, tamaid ar-ôl-tamaid, dysgodd peidio aros fyw ar ofn yr anghyfarwydd.
En: From that day on, bit by bit, he learned not to dwell on the fear of the unknown.

Cy: Roedd ei gelfyddyd a'i bywyd i barhau, gyda mwy o ffocws ar unig ffaith hyn: roedd heddiw yn gyfle i fod yr artist gorau y gallai fod.
En: His art and his life were to continue, with more focus on one sole fact: today was an opportunity to be the best artist he could be.

Story Transcript:

Cy: Ar ddiwrnod clir yn gynnar ym mis Mawrth, Eira cerddai ar hyd llwybrau eira gwyn yn yr Ardd Fotaneg.
En: On a clear day early in March, Eira walked along white snowy paths in the Botanical Garden.

Cy: Roedd hi'n chwilio am orchid prin, a dywedwyd bod yn ei flodau yn fuan eleni.
En: She was searching for a rare orchid, which was said to be blooming early this year.

Cy: Roedd hi'n caru planhigion, ond roedd yn anodd iddi fynd at bobl.
En: She loved plants, but she found it difficult to approach people.

Cy: Wrth gerdded i mewn i'r tŷ gwydr, sylwodd Eira ar ddyn yn edrych yn ansicr ac yn methu dod o hyd i'w lwybr.
En: As she walked into the greenhouse, Eira noticed a man looking uncertain and unable to find his way.

Cy: "Ydych chi angen cymorth?
En: "Do you need help?"

Cy: " gofynnodd Eira mewn llais tawel.
En: Eira asked in a quiet voice.

Cy: Gareth oedd enw'r dyn, artist oedd wedi colli'i hyder a heb ddarganfod ysbrydoliaeth am amser hir.
En: The man’s name was Gareth, an artist who had lost his confidence and hadn't discovered inspiration for a long time.

Cy: "Ie, diolch," atebodd.
En: "Yes, thank you," he replied.

Cy: "Rwy'n chwilio am rywbeth arbennig, rhywbeth i ysbrydoli fy nghelf.
En: "I'm looking for something special, something to inspire my art."

Cy: "Gydag Eira yn arwain y ffordd, daethon nhw at loches fach gwydr yn llawn planhigion egsotig.
En: With Eira leading the way, they came to a small glass shelter full of exotic plants.

Cy: Yna, mawr oedd eu syndod pan ddaethant ar draws yr orchid prin a oedd yn blodeuo mewn symffoni o liwiau.
En: Then, they were greatly surprised when they came across the rare orchid blooming in a symphony of colors.

Cy: Roedd eira yn dechrau disgyn, yn lapio'r ardd mewn cwt hwn o ddistawrwydd hudolus.
En: The snow was beginning to fall, wrapping the garden in a magical hush.

Cy: Roedd y ddau yn sefyll yno'n anghofio'u pryderon, gyda'r blodyn hardd yn eu canol.
En: The two stood there forgetting their worries, with the beautiful flower between them.

Cy: "Mae'n ganolbwynt perffaith," meddai Gareth, ei lygaid yn disgleirio gyda brwdfrydedd newydd.
En: "It's a perfect focal point," said Gareth, his eyes shining with new enthusiasm.

Cy: "Efallai dwi'n gweld y rheswm dros gynnal y cyfarfod, nid o'r fflora yn unig, ond hefyd o gysylltiadau dynol," meddai Eira yn annisgwyl, teimlad o glendid yn ei llais.
En: "Perhaps I see the reason for holding the meeting, not just from the flora, but also from human connections," Eira said unexpectedly, a feeling of purity in her voice.

Cy: Yn ystod yr eiliadau hynny, addawodd Eira a Gareth i gwrdd eto.
En: In those moments, Eira and Gareth promised to meet again.

Cy: Fe gynlluniwyd ymweliadau newydd i'r casgliadau planhigion, rhannu straeon, a chyfnewid eu hangerdd.
En: They planned new visits to the plant collections, sharing stories, and exchanging their passions.

Cy: Mewn dim ond ychydig o eiliadau, roedd y byd yn teimlo'n dangos wyneb cyfarwydd newydd i Eira, gan ddysgu gwerth perthnasoedd.
En: In just a few moments, the world seemed to show a familiar new face to Eira, teaching her the value of relationships.

Cy: Gyda'r eira'n dal i gwympo'n dawel o gwmpas, roedd bravado newydd Gareth yn llawn ei galon.
En: With the snow still quietly falling around them, Gareth's newfound bravado filled his heart.

Cy: Roedd yn gweld ymgais adfer ei hun fel artist, wedi ysbrydoli gan yr angerdd y gwelodd yn y blodau a'r cydweithrediad eithriadol a ddechreuodd.
En: He saw the endeavor to restore himself as an artist, inspired by the passion he saw in the flowers and the extraordinary collaboration that began.

Cy: Diweddodd y dydd gyda pherthynas newydd, ac wrth iddynt ymadael â'r gerddi, roeddent hanner yn rhedeg, hanner yn cerdded ar hyd yr hinsawdd gaeafol gyda'r brìys ar eu hwyneb, yn barod i archwilio cymaint o harddwch arall ar ei hyd.
En: The day ended with a new relationship, and as they left the gardens, they were half running, half walking through the wintry climate with smiles on their faces, ready to explore so much more beauty along the way.

Story Transcript:

Cy: Wrth i'r gwynt oer chwythu drwy Gaerdydd, roedd pob un stryd wedi'i hailenwi â'r sêr cyfarwydd o genhinen Bedr.
En: As the cold wind blew through Caerdydd, every street had been renamed with the familiar stars of the daffodil.

Cy: Roedd Gŵyl Ddewi Sant yn agosáu, ac ym Mhencadlys Hedlu Canol Caerdydd, roedd Gareth mewn pryder mawr.
En: Gŵyl Ddewi Sant was approaching, and in Pencadlys Hedlu Canol Caerdydd, Gareth was in great distress.

Cy: Dyma ysgolhaig ifanc a thyner, â'i frown yn crynhoi wrth aros y tu ôl i'r cownter.
En: He was a young and gentle scholar, his brow furrowed as he waited behind the counter.

Cy: "Help," meddai Gareth wrtho'i hun cyn dod at y ddesg.
En: "Help," Gareth said to himself before coming to the desk.

Cy: "Help.
En: "Help."

Cy: "Roedd Arwen yn sefyll yno, gyda nodiadau lluosog ar y bwrdd.
En: Arwen was standing there, with numerous notes on the board.

Cy: Yn swyddog o nifer o flynyddoedd, roedd hi wedi gweld llawer.
En: A seasoned officer, she had seen a lot.

Cy: Roedd ei phen wedi'i phlygu ychydig, golwg sobr ar ei hwyneb.
En: Her head was slightly bowed, a sober look on her face.

Cy: "Rydych chi eto, Gareth?
En: "Is it you again, Gareth?"

Cy: " meddai Arwen, heb godi ei llygaid ar unwaith.
En: Arwen said, not raising her eyes immediately.

Cy: "Beth sydd o'i le y tro hwn?
En: "What's wrong this time?"

Cy: ""Dim newyddion o Dylan ers dyddiau," esboniodd Gareth yn bryderus.
En: "No news from Dylan for days," Gareth explained anxiously.

Cy: "Dwi'n poeni difrifol, Arwen.
En: "I'm seriously worried, Arwen."

Cy: "Roedd Arwen yn gwybod am Dylan.
En: Arwen knew about Dylan.

Cy: Roedd e'n ffrind annwyl i Gareth.
En: He was a dear friend to Gareth.

Cy: Fodd bynnag, cofiodd am siom diweddar dros alwad ffug.
En: However, she recalled a recent disappointment over a false alarm.

Cy: Roedd ei thafod yn betrusgar.
En: Her tongue was hesitant.

Cy: "Yn sicr, dyna beth ddywedaist ti'r wythnos diwethaf, pan oedd yn ei daith bryd hynny.
En: "Surely, that's what you said last week, when he was on his trip then.

Cy: Beth os maen nhw'n driciau eto?
En: What if it's tricks again?"

Cy: "Ond roedd yna rhywbeth yn y ffordd y syllodd Gareth arni heddiw.
En: But there was something in the way Gareth looked at her today.

Cy: Roedd wyneb drist a phen pendro, ond ei benderfyniad yn frawychus.
En: A sad face and a dizzy head, but his determination was frightening.

Cy: Dechreuodd hi holi cwestiynau, ond daeth dim.
En: She began to ask questions, but nothing came of it.

Cy: Pan ddechreuodd y gwynt y tu allan godi, roedd Arwen dal yn amheus.
En: When the wind outside started to pick up, Arwen was still skeptical.

Cy: "Mae’n gyfnod stormus erbyn hyn," meddai hi.
En: "It's stormy weather now," she said.

Cy: "Nid yw’r tywydd yn helpu.
En: "The weather's not helping."

Cy: "Nid oedd Gareth eisiau treulio mwy o amser.
En: Gareth didn't want to spend more time.

Cy: Ar ôl oriau dysgwyl, gadawodd y swyddfa.
En: After hours of waiting, he left the office.

Cy: Penderfynodd fynd i chwilio ei hun.
En: He decided to go look for himself.

Cy: Cofiodd am leoliad y car Dylan y tro diwethaf y gwelodd ef - ar ochr hen ffordd tu draw i’r ddinas.
En: He remembered the last location of Dylan's car - on the side of an old road beyond the city.

Cy: Wrth iddo gyrraedd, roedd ei olau gliniadur yn dadlennu'r car.
En: Upon arrival, the light from his laptop revealed the car.

Cy: Roedd y car heb symud, gyda lwc â darn o bapur ar gael uwchben y deialu hanfodol.
En: The car hadn't moved, with the luck of a piece of paper available above the essential dials.

Cy: "Angen brys, teulu mewn angen," yn anniddorol eglurodd y neges arno.
En: "Urgent need, family in need," the message on it explained uneasily.

Cy: Gyda’r darganfyddiad hwn, dychwelodd Gareth i’r gorlan yn llawn o ffydd.
En: With this discovery, Gareth returned to the station full of faith.

Cy: Roedd ei chalon yn canu wrth i Arwen nodio mewn cydnabyddiaeth ar gynnydd Gareth.
En: His heart sang as Arwen nodded in acknowledgment of Gareth's progress.

Cy: "Gwych!
En: "Great!

Cy: Gwnaethoch chi’n dda," cytunodd ganddi.
En: You did well," she agreed with him.

Cy: Wrth ddefnyddio gwybodaeth Gareth, canfu'r heddlu Dylan.
En: Using Gareth's information, the police found Dylan.

Cy: Roedd mewn pentref bach, yn helpu perthynas mewn angen.
En: He was in a small village, helping a relative in need.

Cy: Dychwelodd Dylan cyn Gŵyl Ddewi, gan sicrhau ei fod yn ddiogel a chyfarfod lleol.
En: Dylan returned before Gŵyl Ddewi, ensuring he was safe and with local company.

Cy: Am ennyd, daeth ei fwynhau â'r dyfodiad yn lluosog.
En: For a moment, the joy of his arrival was abundant.

Cy: Gwelodd Gareth drwy’r drysau’r wyneb cyfarwydd yn ymddangos wrth y drefn.
En: Gareth saw through the doors the familiar face appearing amidst the gathering.

Cy: Wrth iddyn nhw gwrdd, trodd Gareth ei gazglwyd at Dylan, gwybod bod ei gredu a’i fhad oedd ganddo.
En: As they met, Gareth turned his collected thoughts to Dylan, knowing his faith and affection were with him.

Cy: Roedd Arwen yn sylwi ar wên mwydo ar Gareth fel roedd llawer o gynnes meddwl.
En: Arwen noticed a soft smile on Gareth like many warm thoughts.

Cy: Roedd yn benllanw da ac roedd pob un ohonynt yn symud gyda'r mynegiant o ffydd mewn cariad.
En: It was a good climax, and they all moved with the expression of faith in love.

Cy: Roedd Gŵyl Ddewi yn gynnar wrth i'w calon symudodd ddim ond bywiog.
En: Gŵyl Ddewi was early as their hearts moved with only liveliness.

Story Transcript:

Cy: Ar ddiwrnod oer a gwyntog ar ddechrau mis Chwefror, cododd Llew a cherdded i lawr strydoedd gliniol Doc Penfro.
En: On a cold and windy day at the start of February, Llew got up and walked down the narrow streets of Doc Penfro.

Cy: Roedd siopau'r dref yn brysur gyda phobl mewn cotiau trymion yn ysgeintio o amgylch yr heolydd.
En: The town's shops were busy with people in heavy coats bustling around the streets.

Cy: Roedd Llew yn gwybod bod angen canolbwyntio heddiw.
En: Llew knew he needed to focus today.

Cy: Roedd rhaid iddo ddod o hyd i anrheg pen-blwydd berffaith ar gyfer ei ffrind gorau, Rhiannon.
En: He had to find the perfect birthday gift for his best friend, Rhiannon.

Cy: Roedd hi'n hoff iawn o hanes, ac roedd Llew eisiau rhywbeth arbennig.
En: She really loved history, and Llew wanted something special.

Cy: Ond roedd mwy nag un broblem.
En: But there was more than one problem.

Cy: Roedd penderfynu rhwng rhywbeth ymarferol neu ystyriaethol yn gwthio Llew i feddwl yn ddwfn.
En: Deciding between something practical or thoughtful was pushing Llew to think deeply.

Cy: Roedd angen iddo wneud Rhiannon deimlo'n arbennig, ond hefyd ddim eisiau rhywbeth a fyddai'n llawn prysurdeb diangen.
En: He needed to make Rhiannon feel special, but also didn't want something that would be full of unnecessary fuss.

Cy: Trevor, ffrind arall Llew, wedi rhoi awgrym iddo: "Beth am lyfr hanes arbenigol?
En: Trevor, another friend of Llew, had given him a suggestion: "How about a specialized history book?

Cy: Mae Rhiannon wrth ei bodd â'r pethau hynny.
En: Rhiannon loves those things."

Cy: " Er bod cais Trevor yn swnio dda, roedd Llew wedi ymweld â sawl siop lyfrau eisoes heb lwc.
En: Even though Trevor's suggestion sounded good, Llew had already visited several bookstores without luck.

Cy: Ond un siop fach ar ben y stryd dal heb weld.
En: But one small shop at the end of the street hadn't been seen yet.

Cy: Yng nhornel y stryd, gyda ffenestri'n llewyrchu golau cynnes, roedd siop lyfrau felen.
En: At the corner of the street, with windows gleaming warm light, was a yellow bookstore.

Cy: Yno, tra'n pori rhwng y silffoedd llawn llwch, gwelodd Llew lyfr arbennig.
En: There, while browsing between the dusty shelves, Llew saw a special book.

Cy: Teitl hen, gorchudd lliwgar, llawn straeon am hanes morwrol Cymru.
En: An old title, colorful cover, full of stories about the maritime history of Wales.

Cy: Lygadodd Llew byddai hwn yn anrheg gyflawn.
En: Llew realized this would be the perfect gift.

Cy: Roedd yn berffaith ar gyfer Rhiannon.
En: It was perfect for Rhiannon.

Cy: Cyffrous, cododd y llyfr a mynd at y cownter.
En: Excited, he picked up the book and went to the counter.

Cy: Y diwrnod canlynol, gwawriodd.
En: The next day dawned.

Cy: Gyntaf, roedd Llew yn nerfus, ond wrth weld Rhiannon yn glywed y llyfr, gwenodd yn tristach.
En: Initially, Llew was nervous, but upon seeing Rhiannon as she received the book, she smiled tearfully.

Cy: "Diolch, Llew," meddai Rhiannon, ei llygaid yn dechrau dŵr.
En: "Thank you, Llew," said Rhiannon, her eyes starting to water.

Cy: "Mae'n berffaith.
En: "It's perfect."

Cy: "Ar y funud honno, sylweddolodd Llew ym mhwysigrwydd meddwl a gofal i anrheg.
En: In that moment, Llew realized the importance of thoughtfulness and care in a gift.

Story Transcript:

Cy: Yng Nghwmwl lleddf Tir na nÓg roedd Glyndwr, un teithiwr di-waith gyda gwasanaeth o flynyddoedd yng ngwlad hud a lledrith.
En: In the melancholy Cwmwl of Tir na nÓg, there was Glyndwr, an idle traveler with years of service in the magical land.

Cy: Roedd y dydd hirfaith, haul hydrefol yn tywynnu fynd dros y mor o arian, tra roedd y bryniau gwyrddlas yn ymestyn yn annibynadwy o gwmpas.
En: The long day, with an autumnal sun, shone over the silver sea, while the verdant hills stretched confidently around.

Cy: Yr awyr oedd yn dywyllach wrth i'r machlud lleddf hau ar y tiroedd, lliw aur o olau yn cwmpasu popeth.
En: The sky darkened as the gentle sunset cast gold light over the lands, enveloping everything.

Cy: Mewn lle mor odidog, roedd Tir na nÓg yn arbedog, a Glyndwr yn ei dorcalon oedd yn chwilio am y ffordd yn ôl.
En: In such a magnificent place, Tir na nÓg was captivating, and Glyndwr, in his sorrow, was searching for the way back.

Cy: Roedd ei feddwl ar Bronwen, y ferch yn ôl adref a oedd yn ei aros.
En: His thoughts were on Bronwen, the girl back home waiting for him.

Cy: Roedd hi'n Calan Gaeaf, dydd gobaith a chariad, ac roedd Glyndwr yn gwybod fod ei galon wedi ei ddraenio am dani.
En: It was Calan Gaeaf, a day of hope and love, and Glyndwr knew his heart longed for her.

Cy: Roedd y ffordd yn ôl wedi agor, ond dim ond dros amser byr.
En: The way back had opened, but only for a short time.

Cy: Roedd rhaid iddo fynd â'r lliaws profion y safai cefn y wlad hon yn ei wynebu.
En: He had to face the many trials standing in his path.

Cy: Roedd rhaid iddo benderfynu, ond roedd y bywyd haf heddychlon a'r harddwch cyson wedi ei ddal mewn tynaf o hiraeth.
En: He needed to decide, but the peaceful summer life and constant beauty had held him in the deepest longing.

Cy: "Rhodri," meddyliodd, wrth gofio ffrind doeth a chynghorol oedd gyda fe yn y teithiau gynt.
En: "Rhodri," he thought, recalling the wise and advisory friend who accompanied him on past journeys.

Cy: "Beth wyt ti'n meddwl?
En: "What do you think?"

Cy: " Ond nad oedd neb i'w glywed.
En: But there was no one there to hear.

Cy: Roedd rhaid iddo benderfynu ei hunan.
En: He had to decide for himself.

Cy: Wrth i'r olaf o'r lleuadau setlo dros y bryniau, y amlinelliad siâp y drws yn ymddangos, Glyndwr yn ei wynebu.
En: As the last of the moons set over the hills, an outline of the door appeared before Glyndwr.

Cy: Roedd yn teimlo pob troedfeddi fel pwyso ar ei galon.
En: Every step felt like a weight on his heart.

Cy: Roedd rhaid iddo ddod adref i Bronwen, ond mae pobffyd arno i adael y wlad paradwaiidd oedd wedi dod yn gartref iddo.
En: He had to return home to Bronwen, but he dreaded leaving the paradisiacal land that had become his home.

Cy: Rodd e'n aros am funud, yna'n symud ymlaen.
En: He paused for a moment, then moved forward.

Cy: Un cam yn gyntaf, yna'r nesaf.
En: One step first, then the next.

Cy: Bob cam yn teimlo'n ysgafnach na'r un blaenorol.
En: Each step felt lighter than the previous one.

Cy: Roedd ei galon yn adnewyddu pob cam â'i feddyliau am Bronwen.
En: His heart refreshed with each thought of Bronwen.

Cy: Pan roedd ar y trothwy, roedd y byd o'i flaen yn symud.
En: When he reached the threshold, the world before him moved.

Cy: Roedd amser ei wlad yn apelio arno yn gryf.
En: The time of his homeland called him strongly.

Cy: Ond roedd rhaid iddo ddewis.
En: But he had to choose.

Cy: Yn araf, tynnodd ei hun trwy'r drws.
En: Slowly, he pulled himself through the door.

Cy: Wrth iddo gamu dros y person diwethaf, teimlodd y gwynt cynnes o amser yn ei gario i ffwrdd.
En: As he stepped across the last person, he felt the warm breeze of time carrying him away.

Cy: Gwraidd hir oedd wedi cael ei lygaid caeedig.
En: Long roots had once blinded him.

Cy: Roedd yn gwybod na fyddai'n troi'n deall teimlad hunanol hwn eto.
En: He knew he would never experience this selfish feeling again.

Cy: Wrth gullio y tu ôl iddo, roedd Glyndwr yn barod i ailgysylltu â'i wir gariad mewn bywyd go iawn.
En: As the door closed behind him, Glyndwr was ready to reconnect with his true love in real life.

Cy: Roedd y goleuni aur wedi diflannu, ond roedd popeth arall yn gliriach.
En: The golden light had faded, but everything else was clearer.

Cy: Roedd popeth yn ei lle.
En: Everything was in its place.

Cy: Y gwir sylweddoliad oedd na wnaeth amcanion parhaol gwerthfawrogiad o sylweddoliad byr hoed a fyddai wrth gymharu ag union gariad a bywyd ystyrlon.
En: The true realization was that eternal goals do not outweigh the appreciation of fleeting realizations when compared to true love and meaningful life.

Cy: Roedd hwn yn fwy na digon iddo wneud y dewis doeth yn ei waith caled.
En: This was more than enough for him to make the wise choice in his hard work.

Cy: A dyma oedd ei debrysiad yn barod iddo.
En: And this was his newfound peace.

Cy: Nawr, roedd y ffordd i Bronwen yn glir, ac roedd y teimlad yn llawn hedd perffaith.
En: Now, the path to Bronwen was clear, and the feeling was full of perfect tranquility.
