Story Transcript:

Cy: Mae cynnwrf yn yr awyr wrth droed Gardd Drefol Bae Caerdydd.
En: There is excitement in the air at the foot of Gardd Drefol Bae Caerdydd.

Cy: Mae’r dail liwgar yn crensian o dan draed wrth i’r gwynt ysgafn chwythu nhw fel gêm farblis.
En: The colorful leaves crunch underfoot as the gentle wind blows them like a game of marbles.

Cy: Ymhlith y planhigion a’r llwybrau gwyntog, mae Gareth, y hanesydd lleol chwilfrydig, yn crwydro.
En: Among the plants and winding paths, Gareth, the curious local historian, roams.

Cy: Mae rhywbeth yn wahanol heddiw.
En: Something is different today.

Cy: Mae Rhian, botanegydd selog, yn plygu dros flodyn anarchwaethus.
En: Rhian, a keen botanist, bends over an unassuming flower.

Cy: “O’r pethau di ddim yn syllu ohonot, Gareth,” meddai wrth ddarllen ei lygaid yn ôl o’r tir.
En: “The things aren't staring at you, Gareth,” she says, lifting her eyes from the ground.

Cy: “Beth wyt ti’n chwilio am?”
En: “What are you looking for?”

Cy: Mae Gareth yn darganfod ei fod yn dal hen allwedd. Tair troedfedd o hyd, â'i gelfiogl aur wedi ei fflachio â llwch amser.
En: Gareth discovers he is holding an old key. Three feet long, its golden shaft flashed with the dust of time.

Cy: "Mae hwn yn allwedd i'r gorffennol," dywedodd, ei lais yn llenwi o gyffro.
En: "This is a key to the past," he said, his voice filling with excitement.

Cy: “Beth am hynny, Gareth?” gofynnodd Rhian mewn llais sy’n awgrymu amheuaeth.
En: “What about that, Gareth?” asked Rhian in a voice suggesting doubt.

Cy: Roedd hi’n ofni i hanes y mympwy hwn darfu ar y brosiect cadwraeth.
En: She feared this whimsy might disrupt the conservation project.

Cy: Gareth yn gwybod bod angen iddo ennill Jehofa Rhian.
En: Gareth knew he needed to win over Rhian.

Cy: “Gadewch i ni archwilio, heb angen difrodi’r ardd,” cynigodd.
En: “Let's explore, without damaging the garden,” he proposed.

Cy: Yn y pen draw, cytunodd Rhian.
En: Eventually, Rhian agreed.

Cy: “Iawn, ond dim ond wrth fy ochr.”
En: “Alright, but only by my side.”

Cy: Mae hi’n llawn chwilfrydedd, er ei bod yn ofni’r canlyniadau.
En: She is full of curiosity, even as she fears the consequences.

Cy: Wrth iddyn nhw archwilio'r ardd, mae'r hanes a natur yn cyd-fynd o gwmpas y goeden hynafol.
En: As they explore the garden, history and nature intertwine around the ancient tree.

Cy: Rhywbeth o dan y pridd yn cydio eu sylw - blwch bach wedi ei gladdu ers talwm.
En: Something beneath the soil catches their attention - a small box buried long ago.

Cy: Agorodd Gareth y blwch yn ofalus, a thybïo fod yr allwedd yr allwedd wrth droi ei ddychymyg.
En: Gareth opened the box carefully, speculating that the key might unlock his imagination.

Cy: Tu mewn, casglodd Gareth lawysgrif o hen ddarluniau a map sy'n datgelu rhyw dirgelwch am Bae Caerdydd.
En: Inside, Gareth collected a manuscript of old drawings and a map revealing some mystery about Bae Caerdydd.

Cy: Mae'r llwybrau hynafol yn eu harwain at atyniad tanddwr o drysor cofiadwy, dan esgeulustod amser ac anarferoldeb.
En: These ancient paths lead them to an underwater attraction of memorable treasure, under the neglect of time and rarity.

Cy: Wrth ddarllen y cofnodiadau, mae Gareth yn gweld pa mor bwysig yw cydweithio gyda Rhian.
En: While reading the records, Gareth sees how important it is to collaborate with Rhian.

Cy: Mae’r map a’r blychau yn datgelu mwy na storïau’r dyfodol - maen nhw’n brofiad cyffredin o ddealltwriaeth a treasured cymeradwyo.
En: The map and boxes unveil more than stories of the future - they are a shared experience of understanding and treasured approval.

Cy: Ar ddiwedd y siwrne, mae Gareth wedi’i gydnabod, nid yn unig drwy gydnabod ei gyfnos, ond gan y bobl y mae'n byw ymhlith.
En: At the journey's end, Gareth is recognized, not only through acknowledging his dusk but by the people he lives among.

Cy: Mae Rhian yn mwynhau ei waith newydd mewn ailddatblygiadau cadwraeth, gan gynnwys y darganfyddiadau hanesyddol.
En: Rhian enjoys her new work in conservation redevelopment, including the historical findings.

Cy: Mae’r cyfeillgarwch rhwng Gareth a Rhian wedi tyfu, gan gadw eu cariad at eu diddordeb yn fyw ac yn deilwng.
En: The friendship between Gareth and Rhian has grown, keeping their love for their interest alive and worthy.

Cy: Ac felly, mae golau yr haul yn gosod ar ardd yr arfordir, gan agor llawer arall o bosibiliadau a fydd yn dal i’w darganfod, wrth i’r ddau edrych tuag at y gwanwyn.
En: And so, the sunlight sets on the coastal garden, opening many more possibilities to be discovered, as the two look forward to spring.

Story Transcript:

Cy: O gwmpas yr hydref, pan fo'r dail yn troi i liwiau aur a choch, a'r gwynt yn hedfan drwy strydoedd Cymru, roedd Emrys, Carys a Gwyn yn cerdded drwy'r coridorau tywyll o wersyll tanddaearol y Rhyfel Oer.
En: Around the autumn, when the leaves turn to golden and red hues, and the wind flies through the streets of Cymru, Emrys, Carys, and Gwyn were walking through the dark corridors of the underground Cold War camp.

Cy: Roedd yn daith ysgol, ac roedd yr athro hanes eisoes wedi siarad am y saithdegau gyda chynhesrwydd.
En: It was a school trip, and the history teacher had already spoken warmly about the seventies.

Cy: Dim ond sŵn y traed ar y lloriau concrid oedd i'w glywed wrth iddynt symud.
En: Only the sound of footsteps on the concrete floors could be heard as they moved.

Cy: Roedd Emrys yn edrych o gwmpas, ei galon yn curo â chyffro a dweud y gwir - roedd awydd arno i ddangos ei wybodaeth gudd.
En: Emrys looked around, his heart beating with excitement, to be honest - he had the urge to display his hidden knowledge.

Cy: Roedd yn gwybod am ystafell gyfrinachol y tu hwnt i ddiogelwch arferol y lle.
En: He knew about a secret room beyond the usual security of the place.

Cy: Roedd Emrys yn wirion niwlog ar yr wyneb, fel myfyriwr arall yn yr ysgol, ond roedd rhywbeth arbennig yn cuddio dan yr wyneb tawel.
En: Emrys seemed rather unassuming on the outside, like another student in the school, but something special was hidden beneath his calm exterior.

Cy: Roedd cariad hanes yn llosgi'n dawel ynddo.
En: A love of history burned quietly within him.

Cy: Meddyliodd, 'Os gallaf ddangos i bawb ystafell na welodd neb o'r blaen, byddant yn gwybod pwy ydw i mewn gwirionedd.
En: He thought, 'If I can show everyone a room no one has seen before, they will know who I really am.'

Cy: 'Pan ddaeth cyfle, sef pan oedd y grŵp yn canolbwyntio ar arddangosiad arall, gwnaeth Emrys hwnnw ei ffrwythloniad cyntaf - ymdrechodd i ddod o hyd i'r ystafell gudd.
En: When the opportunity arose, namely when the group was focused on another exhibit, Emrys made his first exploration - he attempted to find the hidden room.

Cy: Wandodd trwy ddrws sy'n cael ei chadw hanner agor, mynd â'i hun i'r tywyllwch fwyaf.
En: He wandered through a door kept half-open, taking himself into the deepest darkness.

Cy: Roedd awyr fair wedi'i lenwi ag hen lwch, a golau gwan yn gwennu odi wrth hen lamp.
En: The air was filled with ancient dust, and weak light crept out from an old lamp.

Cy: Roedd y llwybrau'n gul, ond Emrys dal yn benderfynol.
En: The paths were narrow, but Emrys remained determined.

Cy: Fe lwyddodd i agor drws hen, ddi-nod, ac o'i flaen, roedd ystafell - llawn arteffactau a phapurau.
En: He managed to open an old, unassuming door, and before him was a room - filled with artifacts and papers.

Cy: Olion amser wedi eu gadael yn ddistaw.
En: Silent remnants of time left behind.

Cy: Ond dim ond ar ôl iddo fynd i mewn roedd y drws yn cau'n glep y tu ôl iddo, yn ei olwg ballion, wedi ei gaethiwo.
En: But only after he entered, the door shut tightly behind him, in his blurred view, trapping him.

Cy: Roedd ofn yn dechrau codi yn ei feddwl, ond ar yr un pryd, rhywbeth arall - dewrder newydd, efallai, neu'r ymwybyddiaeth fod yn rhaid iddo wynebu bryd hynny.
En: Fear began to rise in his mind, but at the same time, something else - a newfound courage, perhaps, or the awareness that he had to confront the moment.

Cy: Tu allan, roedd Carys wedi bod yn cadw llygad ar y lleill, ond wrth ei nod oedd ar Emrys hefyd.
En: Outside, Carys had been keeping an eye on the others, but her attention was also on Emrys.

Cy: Sylwodd ar ei absenoldeb ac aeth i chwilio amdano.
En: She noticed his absence and went to search for him.

Cy: Dilynnodd sŵn lleisiog drwser Emrys, gan ddod o hyd i'r lle carcharodd ei ffrind.
En: She followed the faint echo of Emrys' footsteps, finding the place where her friend was imprisoned.

Cy: Yn raddol, gynnigiodd ei help.
En: Gradually, she offered her help.

Cy: "Yma, Emrys," meddai'n dawel, gan helpu i wthio'r drws o'r ffordd.
En: "Here, Emrys," she said quietly, helping to push the door aside.

Cy: Roedd y ddau ohonynt o'r diwedd yn mae canshwi ar yr arteffactau.
En: Finally, the two of them were able to marvel at the artifacts.

Cy: Dyma gyfle gwirioneddol - i ddangos i'r grŵp beth oeddynt wedi canfod a phartneriaeth newydd, annisgwyl.
En: It was a real opportunity - to show the group what they had discovered and an unexpected new partnership.

Cy: Pan ddychwelwyd at eu cyd-ddisgyblion, roedd Emrys nid yn unig wedi sicrhau man glod - ond agoriad newydd wedi ymddangos o fewn ei galon i gydnabod gwerth cydweithio.
En: When they returned to their fellow students, Emrys had not only secured a place of admiration - but a new openness had appeared within his heart to recognize the value of collaboration.

Cy: Roedd Cymru ac ei hanes yn llawn rhyfeddod, ond yr oedd cymwysterau Emrys a'i ffrindiau yr un mor bwysig yn y diwedd.
En: Cymru and its history were full of wonders, but Emrys and his friends' abilities were equally important in the end.

Cy: Roedd yn gwybod hynny nawr - ac wedi ennill sicrwydd newydd yn wyneb ei hun a'r byd.
En: He knew that now - and had gained newfound confidence in facing himself and the world.

Story Transcript:

Cy: Mae’r stori yn cychwyn mewn man hunllefus, a galonnau ifanc yn cosi gyda chyffro ac ofn.
En: The story begins in a haunting place, with young hearts tingling with excitement and fear.

Cy: Yn y dalgylch a elwir yn Gartref Plant Caerdydd, roedd y ddeilen rhif 24 yn elastudio popeth oddi ar y coeden.

En: The room was bright with shades of orange and red, ready for a special Halloween period presentation.

Cy: Er bod amynedd Llewellyn fel arfer arferol tawel a myfyrgar, am fod y gwrando ar goed a sibrwd rhaeadr, roedd ei ofn siarad mewn cyhoedd yn drwm ar ei ysgwyddo.
En: Although Llewellyn's patience is usually calm and reflective, from listening to trees and the whisper of waterfalls, his fear of public speaking weighed heavily on his shoulders.

Cy: Mae'n ofni nad yw'i lais yn ddigon cryf i ennyn ystyriaeth yr ymweliad teulu bosibiodd.
En: He fears that his voice is not strong enough to capture the attention of a potential visiting family.

Cy: Dyw e eisiau gadael yr orffaniaeth fwy na dim.
En: He wants to leave the orphanage more than anything.

Cy: Roedd ei ffrindiau, Carys a Rhys, yno i gynnig cefnogaeth.
En: His friends, Carys and Rhys, were there to offer support.

Cy: “Rwyt ti’n gallu gwneud hyn, Llew,” medd Carys yn gwenu'n eang, gan godi ei bysedd mewn croes cyffrous.
En: “You can do this, Llew,” Carys said with a wide smile, crossing her fingers in excitement.

Cy: Roedd cefnogaeth Rhys yn dawel ond anhygoel.
En: Rhys's support was quiet but incredible.

Cy: "Paid ag ofni," meddai wrth iddo rhoi tap cynnil ar gefn Llewellyn.
En: "Don't be afraid," he said, giving Llewellyn a gentle pat on the back.

Cy: Ond nid oedd Llewellyn yn llwyr ddarbwyllo.
En: But Llewellyn was not entirely convinced.

Cy: Mae’n cofio’i sioe ddaeth i ben yn anniweidrwydd a’i allanborth hyd yn hyn.
En: He remembers his show ended in naivety and his output so far.

Cy: Wrth iddo aros i fynd ymlaen, roedd y cyfuniad o ofnau a dyheadau’n cylchdroi yn ei ben.
En: As he waited to go on, the combination of fears and desires swirled in his head.

Cy: Daeth y foment.
En: The moment came.

Cy: Llwyfan yn llawn delweddau Calan Gaeaf a lleisiau geilwnaeth.
En: A stage full of Halloween imagery and summoned voices.

Cy: Llywiodd Llewellyn ei ffordd i ganol yr ystafell.
En: Llewellyn navigated his way to the center of the room.

Cy: Roedd ei galon yn curo mor uchel fel y gallai feddwl pawb yn ei glywed.
En: His heart was pounding so loudly that he could imagine everyone hearing it.

Cy: Roedd Carys a Rhys ar ochr, yn cynnig cefnogaeth drwy gydol y cyflwyniad.
En: Carys and Rhys were at his side, offering support throughout the presentation.

Cy: Gyda threm gyntaf tuag at y gynulleidfa, cymerodd Llewellyn anadl ddyfn.
En: With a first glance towards the audience, Llewellyn took a deep breath.

Cy: Nod twm Calan Gaeaf yn y cefndir, roedd e’n cofio pam ei fod e yma.
En: With the note of Halloween in the background, he remembered why he was here.

Cy: Mae'r teulu maethu posibl yn edmygu yfory - cyfle am newid, gobaith am gartref newydd.
En: The possible foster family admires tomorrow - a chance for change, hope for a new home.

Cy: Er bod Llewellyn yn dechrau'n anwadel, fe wnaeth ei falchder ac ysbryd ysbrydoli ei ymadroddion.
En: Though Llewellyn started hesitantly, his pride and spirit inspired his expressions.

Cy: Yn raddol, daeth yn hunan-hyderus.
En: Gradually, he became self-confident.

Cy: Roedd ei eiriau yn filaen fel awel sy’n chwythu dros edafedd coediog.
En: His words were as sharp as a breeze blowing over tangled trees.

Cy: Ar ôl gorffen, roedd y teulu ymwelwyr yn wirioneddol ddiddordeb.
En: After finishing, the visiting family was genuinely interested.

Cy: Roedd Llewellyn wedi dangos ei gryfder.
En: Llewellyn had shown his strength.

Cy: Roedd ei llais, sy’n neidio o ystyriaeth i ofn, yn cael ei glywed, ac ni fydd yr agor rhwystrau bellach yn ofn ddi-ben-draw iddo.
En: His voice, jumping from consideration to fear, was heard, and breaking barriers would no longer be a perpetual fear for him.

Cy: Roedd Carys a Rhys yn rhedeg ato gyda llawenych, wrth i bedwaredd dydd alwen yn dal i ddisgyn tu allan i ffurfio carped o laethog.
En: Carys and Rhys ran to him with joy, as the fourth falling leaf continued to descend outside, forming a milky carpet.

Cy: Mae Llewellyn yn sylweddoli, bod ei hunan-hyder wedi codi, nad yw’r ofn bellach yn elyn.
En: Llewellyn realizes that his self-confidence has risen, and fear is no longer an enemy.

Cy: Roedd teulu posibl yn dal porth o obaith, ac ni fyddai Llewellyn bellach yn edrych yn ôl heb obaith.
En: A possible family held a gateway of hope, and Llewellyn would no longer look back without hope.

Cy: Mae'r stapâu wedi darfod.
En: The chains have dissolved.

Cy: Mae'n gyfnod newydd iddo, un lle bydd y lleisiau sy'n sibrwd eu strwythurau'n ein cadw at ei gilydd, yn cael eu clywed yn amlwg.
En: It’s a new era for him, one where the voices that whisper their structures keeping us together, are heard loudly.

Cy: Emrys a Carys yn eistedd gyda'u paned o de.
En: Emrys and Carys sat with their cup of tea.

Cy: Roedd Emrys yn berson tawel, weithiau'n meddwl gormod.
En: Emrys was a quiet person, sometimes thinking too much.

Cy: Hoffai ddod â Carys i'r ystafell de yma oherwydd eu bod wedi ymuno am y tro cyntaf yma, ond heddiw roedd pethau'n wahanol.
En: He liked bringing Carys to this tea room because they had first joined together here, but today things were different.

Cy: Roedd ei feddwl yn llawn cwestiynau amhendant am y dyfodol.
En: His mind was full of uncertain questions about the future.

Cy: Roedd am ddeall ei deimladau go iawn am Carys a gweld os oedd Llewelyn, eu ffrind araf, yn fwy addas i Carys.
En: He wanted to understand his true feelings about Carys and see if Llewelyn, their slow friend, was more suitable for Carys.

Cy: "Mae gan Llewelyn fath o bersonoliaeth," meddai Emrys yn dawel wrth ei hun, ac roedd angen iddo wybod sicrwydd.
En: "Llewelyn has a kind of personality," Emrys said quietly to himself, and he needed to know for sure.

Cy: Ar gyfer Emrys, roedd y tymor yn gwympo'n gwbl addas, yw'r tymor o newid.
En: For Emrys, the season was absolutely fitting, the season of change.

Cy: "Carys," dechreuodd Emrys yn ofalus, "rydw i wedi bod yn meddwl." Roedd Ciara'n edrych iddo, yn glywed yr ansicrwydd yn ei lais.
En: "Carys," Emrys began cautiously, "I have been thinking." Carys looked at him, hearing the uncertainty in his voice.

Cy: "Beth yw e, Emrys?" gofynnodd Carys yn dyner.
En: "What is it, Emrys?" Carys asked gently.

Cy: Dywedodd Emrys, ei lais yn drwm gyda phwysau hynod o peidio â gwybod ble y bydd hyn yn dangos, "Rwy'n poeni amdanom ni.
En: Emrys spoke, his voice heavy with the burden of not knowing where this would lead, "I'm worried about us.

Cy: Rwy'n teimlo'n ddryslyd am bethau, ac rwy'n gweld Llewelyn a ti gyda'i gilydd..."
En: I'm feeling confused about things, and I see Llewelyn and you together..."

Cy: Roedd yr awyr o amgylchyn nhw'n symud fel y dail yn syrthio o'r coed.
En: The air around them moved like the leaves falling from the trees.

Cy: Roedd Carys yn gwrando, yn gwybod bod rhywbeth wedi bod yn anghywir.
En: Carys listened, knowing something had been wrong.

Cy: "Rwyf wedi teimlo rhywbeth tebyg," cydsyniodd Carys rhwng egwyliau tawel, oedd yn cyfuno â sŵn y coedi.
En: "I've felt something similar," Carys agreed between quiet pauses, which mingled with the sound of the trees.

Cy: Roedd gobaith newydd yn codi rhwng y bobl.
En: A new hope arose between the people.

Cy: Dewisasant gadael ei gilydd ar y nodyn rydym yn dymuno gorau'r naill i'r llall.

En: As they left the tea room and bid farewell to the season to come, his feelings were less confused, seeing the future with more clarity.

Cy: Roeddent wedi dysgu bod y teimladau gorau ddim yn gorffen yn yr ystafell de, ond yn cychwyn yno.
En: They had learned that the best feelings do not end in the tea room, but rather start there.

Cy: Fel yr haf lle roeddent wrth ei gilydd am y tro cyntaf.
En: Like the summer where they first met each other.

Story Transcript:

Cy: Mae'r haenau o'r dail aur a choch yn cydblethu yn hedfan drwy sgwaren hen farchnad dinas Caerdydd.
En: The layers of golden and red leaves intertwined, flying through the square of the old market in the city of Caerdydd.

Cy: Mae'r lle'n fywiog, fel gwe o bobl a sŵn.
En: The place was lively, like a web of people and noise.

Cy: Wrth gamu ymlaen, mae Aeron yn teimlo bod ei galon yn curo'n gyflymach na byth.
En: As Aeron stepped forward, he felt his heart beating faster than ever.

Cy: Roedd e'n gobeithio gwneud argraff dda ar Carys, ond roedd y nerfusrwydd yn troi'n ofn.
En: He hoped to make a good impression on Carys, but his nervousness was turning into fear.

Cy: Roedd Carys wrth ei hymyl, ei llygaid yn disgleirio fel seren y bore.
En: Carys was by his side, her eyes sparkling like the morning star.

Cy: Roedd hi'n chwilio am gysylltiad gwirioneddol, a phopeth am y dydd hwn wedi'i gynnwys – y tu allan i'w gwres cynulliadon pryderus Aeron.
En: She was looking for a real connection, everything about this day included – outside of the warmth of Aeron's anxious gatherings.

Cy: "Mae'r marchnad hon yn wych," meddai Carys tra'n sylwi ar stondin llyfrau ail-law.
En: "This market is great," said Carys while noticing a second-hand book stall.

Cy: "Beth am fynd i weld?"
En: "Shall we go take a look?"

Cy: Aeron gwênodd, yn teimlo ychydig o llais o falchder.
En: Aeron smiled, feeling a slight sense of pride.

Cy: "Iawn," atebodd, er nid oedd yn siŵr beth y gallai ddod o hyd iddo yno.
En: "Alright," he replied, though he wasn't sure what he might find there.

Cy: Wnaeth ei galon chwilota gyda phryder, ond derbyniodd awgrym Carys.
En: His heart searched with anxiety, but he accepted Carys's suggestion.

Cy: Synhwyrai arogl caws o stondin cyfagos yn cymysgu â'r arogl coffi newydd-o-dreigl.
En: He sensed the smell of cheese from a nearby stall mixing with the aroma of freshly brewed coffee.

Cy: Roedd crochenwaith lledr a statys newydd yn denu sylw ar fwrdd gerllaw, wrth i werthwyr annog pobl i drio eu cynnyrch.
En: Leather pottery and new trinkets attracted attention on a nearby table, as vendors encouraged people to try their products.

Cy: "Ydych chi'n hoffi coffi?" gofynnodd hi'n ddisgynnyddol, gan dynnu Aeron tua stondin ag arwydd oedd yn addo'r cymysgeddau gorau.
En: "Do you like coffee?" she asked casually, pulling Aeron towards a stall with a sign promising the best blends.

Cy: "Ie, wrth gwrs," atebodd, gobeithio na ddangosai mwy o nerfusrwydd.
En: "Yes, of course," he responded, hoping he didn't show more nervousness.

Cy: Gwrandawsant ar sgytiau o hylif poeth yn cael ei lenwi mewn cwpanau tra'n clywed y sgwrsio cyson o sŵn marchnad.
En: They listened to the hiss of hot liquid being poured into cups while hearing the constant chatter of market noise.

Cy: Aeth ati i dair pen effro a roedd Carys yn sgwrsio'n sydyn â'r gwerthwr am ei deithiau diweddar.
En: They came to three alert heads, and Carys was quickly chatting with the vendor about his recent travels.

Cy: Cafodd Aeron ei amsugno gan sut oedd Carys yn dueddol.
En: Aeron was absorbed by how Carys was inclined.

Cy: Roedd hyn yn ei annog ac yn wybodol ei ysgwyd. Ond roedd eto rhywbeth yn apelio iddo am yr ansicrwydd na wynebodd o'r blaen.
En: This encouraged and knowingly shook him, but there was still something appealing to him about the uncertainty he hadn't faced before.

Cy: Yn sydyn, golchwyd y ffordd o lawd, chwalu'r dorf.
En: Suddenly, the path was washed by rain, scattering the crowd.

Cy: Trôdd Carys at Aeron, ei llygaid yn llawn chwarae dwys.
En: Carys turned to Aeron, her eyes full of deep playfulness.

Cy: "Beth os ydyn ni'n rhedeg?" awgrymodd.
En: "What if we run?" she suggested.

Cy: Chwarddiodd yn erfynol tra'n dechrau redig ochr yn ochr â'i ffrind.
En: He laughed imploringly as he began to run alongside his friend.

Cy: Yna, dan y canopi stondin yn orlawn o gwmni, gyda chwerthin yn adlais rhwng nhw, daethon nhw i aros fan hyn heb ofal am y dyodiad.
En: Then, under the canopy of a stall crowded with company, with laughter echoing between them, they stopped here without a care for the rain.

Cy: "Rwy'n falch ein bod ni wedi cael y siawns," sbïodd Carys iddo, ei gwyneb mewn cilareg o ddifrifoldeb a chwerthin.
En: "I'm glad we had the chance," Carys observed, her face in a blend of seriousness and laughter.

Cy: "Yr un yma," cytunodd Aeron.
En: "So am I," agreed Aeron.

Cy: Roedd pob pryder wedi diflannu.
En: All his anxiety had vanished.

Cy: Roedd ei chwestiynau diangen wedi cael ateb yn y sgwrs a'r golau ar y cymeriad newydd hwn.
En: His unnecessary questions had been answered in the conversation and the light of this new character.

Cy: Yn y plyg, roedd wedi dysgu gweld deialog gan ei chyffro.
En: In the fold, he had learned to see dialogue through his excitement.

Cy: Ar ddiwedd y dydd, cerddasant i ffwrdd o'r farchnad, y dail haul-aur dan eu traed, y glaw yn droiedigaeth sydd wedi hen symud.
En: At the end of the day, they walked away from the market, the sun-golden leaves underfoot, the rain a whirl that had long passed.

Cy: Roeddent wedi cytuno i gyfarfod eto.
En: They had agreed to meet again.

Cy: Mae stori newydd wedi dechrau.
En: A new story had begun.

Cy: Teimlai Aeron yn haws, gyda gwynt o sicrwydd newydd nag erioed o'r blaen.
En: Aeron felt at ease, with a breeze of newfound certainty like never before.

Cy: Roedd ef, drwy bopeth, wedi bod yn ddigon da.
En: Through everything, he had been good enough.

En: Although Eira was wary of partnerships due to bad experiences in the past, there was something about Cai that convinced her to trust him.

Cy: Ar ôl sawl cyfarfod yn y caffi ger y ffenestri eang, lle roedd canhwyllau coed yn gostwng yn araf wrth i’r gwynt chwythu, penderfynodd Eira risg a rhannu ei syniadau â Cai.

Cy: Mewn canol yr Hydref, gyda’r dail yn parhau i gwympo, roedd y prosiect hwn nid yn unig yn symbol o lwyddiant technegol, ond hefyd yn adlewyrchiad o’r berthynas gref a ddechreuodd ar fore dymunol yng Nghaerdydd.

Cy: Roedd eu tad yn caru'r lle hwn, ac roedd mwynhad ganddo fynd am heic hir drwy'r coed a'r mynyddoedd megis adref.
En: Their father loved this place, and he found joy in taking long hikes through the woods and mountains as if it were home.

Cy: Rhiannon, gyda llygaid ffocysu ar ei thad, roedd ei llwyr o gyfrifoldeb.
En: Rhiannon, with eyes focused on her father, felt a weight of responsibility.

Cy: "Dewch arni, Gareth," meddai hi, ei llais yn benderfynol.
En: "Come on, Gareth," she said, her voice determined.

Cy: "Gwnawn waith y cwmwl cyn diwedd yr awr."
En: "Let's get the work done before the end of the hour."

Cy: Ond Gareth, yn fwy myfyriol, stopio am funud i edrych ar y topiau coed las a coch.
En: But Gareth, more reflective, stopped for a moment to look at the tops of the blue and red trees.

Cy: "Rydyn ni'n yma iddo.
En: "We are here for him.

Cy: Gadewch i ni ddal ein hanadl," dywedodd yn dawel, yn dal eiliad o dawelwch i gofio.
En: Let's catch our breath," he said quietly, holding a moment of silence to remember.

Cy: Wrth iddynt gerdded fyny’r llwybr serth, mae Rhiannon yn poeni am y tasgau o’u blaen.
En: As they walked up the steep path, Rhiannon worried about the tasks ahead.

Cy: Roedd pob cam yn rhyw fath o orchwyl;
En: Every step felt like some kind of chore;

Cy: ond i Gareth, pob mûn cam yn llawn storïau cudd am eu tad.
En: but for Gareth, every small step was filled with hidden stories about their father.

Cy: Roedd pob tro yn y llwybr fel agor capsiwl amser o atgofion.
En: Every turn on the path was like opening a time capsule of memories.

Cy: "A nghfi di gofio pan wnaeth dad fflipio'r barbeciw hwn flwyddyn hon?" gofynnodd Gareth, gyda golau twyllodrus yn ei lygaid.
En: "Do you remember when dad flipped the barbecue this year?" Gareth asked, with a mischievous light in his eyes.

Cy: Stopiodd Rhiannon.
En: Rhiannon stopped.

Cy: Roedd y cof yn dawnsio'n araf yn ei meddwl, gwên fach ar ei gwefus.
En: The memory danced slowly in her mind, a small smile on her lips.

Cy: "Ydw," meddai wedi ildio, "ac roedd y sgwâr hwnnw mor ddu â'r nos."
En: "Yes," she admitted, "and that steak was as black as night."

Cy: Gyrhaeddasant brig y mynydd lle rhedai'r gwynt yn gyfradd ac yr oedd y byd yn ymddangos yn ddiderfyn o'u blaen.
En: They reached the top of the mountain where the wind swept briskly and the world appeared endless before them.

Cy: Roedd Rhiannon yn edrych i lawr ar yr ogofeydd, a’r olygfa hardd o’r ddaear islaw, yn sydyn teimlai'r pwysau yn plygu o fewn iddi.
En: Rhiannon looked down at the caves, the beautiful view of the land below, and suddenly felt the weight shift within her.

Cy: Rhoddodd Gareth law ar ei hysgwydd.
En: Gareth placed a hand on her shoulder.

Cy: "Diogelwch ei ewyllys yw diogelu ein hatgofion," meddyliodd, ei lygaid yn fflachio â deall wrth gyffwrdd llond llaw o lwch.
En: "Keeping his will is keeping our memories safe," he thought, his eyes flashing with understanding as he touched a handful of ash.

Cy: Ar y mynydd, methodd y dŵr yn ddisymud, a thaflodd y llosgfynyddoedd ei lwch.
En: On the mountain, the water stilled, and the volcanoes cast their ash.

Cy: Gyda golwg gwrtais, golyon eu tad yn llithro a cheisio ymateb i'r gwynt gan neidio ac yn dawnsio rhwng y blancedi brown.
En: With a respectful gaze, their father's ashes slipped and sought to respond to the wind, leaping and dancing among the brown blankets.

Cy: Wnaeth Rhiannon edrych ar Gareth gyda stryffaglu, ond hefyd cynefin.
En: Rhiannon looked at Gareth with a struggle, but also familiarity.

Cy: Roedd hyn yn ddiwrnod newydd iddi, nid dim ond i goffáu eu tad, ond i amlygu'r fath deimlad o agosatrwydd efo'i brawd.
En: This was a new day for her, not only to commemorate their father but to highlight such a feeling of closeness with her brother.

Cy: Wedi’r golygfeydd olaf ohoni’n dawelu yn y gwyntddydd.
En: With the last sights of her father settling in the breeze.

Cy: "Diolch, Gareth," meddai hi yn feddal.
En: "Thank you, Gareth," she said softly.

Cy: Roedd ei chalon yn golchi llynedd o bechod â dyletswyddau rhaglenni.
En: Her heart washed away years of guilt with the duties of the day.

Cy: Cerddasant ddan post yn geiriau; Rhiannon yn cael ffordd newydd i fyw gyda'i theimladau, a Gareth wedi derbyn ei frawdgarwch eto.
En: They walked past the words in stone; Rhiannon finding a new way to live with her feelings, and Gareth having accepted his brotherhood once more.

Cy: Roedd y lliwiau a’i gilydd, a’r atgofion melysa’r amhobol.
En: The colors mingled, and the memories sweetened the bitterness.

Cy: Roedd o gysur iddynt, yn dawel ag yn ddwfn, mai byth ni fyddant ar eu pennau eu hunain.
En: It was comforting to them, quietly and deeply, that they would never be alone.

Cy: Gyda'u bysedd yn anffurfiedig, traethwyd y garreg a'r gwynt cerbydol, roedd gwynt a gweithred Gareth yn wasgaru o'u afael, yn y dŵr tawel.
En: With their fingers intertwined, the stone and the carriage wind echoed, Gareth's wind and action dispersed from their grasp into the calm water.

Cy: Roedd fel derbyniad, fel cofrodd, addewid o dro newydd ym mhob cam.
En: It was like an acceptance, like a tribute, a promise of a new turn with every step.

Story Transcript:

Cy: Mae'r haul yn gostwng dros arfordir hardd Sir Benfro.
En: The sun is setting over the beautiful Pembrokeshire coast.

Cy: Mae'r awyrcoed yn disgleirio aml-liwiau’r hydref, gan gydblethu â'r donnau sy’n curo yn erbyn y clogwyni garw.
En: The trees are shining with the multicolors of autumn, blending with the waves crashing against the rugged cliffs.

Cy: Ar y traeth gwyntog yma, mae Carys yn sefyll gyda thraethlyswer, yn barod i ddechrau glanhau.
En: On this windy beach, Carys stands with a trash picker, ready to start cleaning.

Cy: "Mae'n amser gwych," meddai Gwen, ei ffrind orau, tra'n gosod ei sach ysgwydd ar y llawr.
En: "It's a great time," said Gwen, her best friend, while setting her backpack on the ground.

Cy: "Allwn ni wneud gwahaniaeth go iawn yma."
En: "We can really make a difference here."

Cy: Mae Carys yn hecwdd ysgwyd ei phen.
En: Carys just nodded her head.

Cy: Er bod hi'n angerddol am yr amgylchedd, roedd hi’n casáu’r syniad o agor i fyny at bobl newydd.
En: Although she was passionate about the environment, she hated the idea of opening up to new people.

Cy: "Ie, ond mae llawer o waith i'w wneud," atebodd hi, gan ddewis bod yn gryno.
En: "Yes, but there's a lot of work to be done," she replied, choosing to be brief.

Cy: Mae Rhys yn cerdded atyn nhw, ei kamera yn hongian ar ei dorso.
En: Rhys walks up to them, his camera hanging around his neck.

Cy: "Sut dych chi?" gofynnodd, ei lais yn ysgafn ond llawn brwdfrydedd.
En: "How are you?" he asked, his voice light but full of enthusiasm.

Cy: "Ydych chi'n yma am y glanhau hefyd?"
En: "Are you here for the cleanup too?"

Cy: Gwênododd Gwen.
En: Gwen smiled.

Cy: "Yn sicr ydw," meddai, gan droi at Carys.
En: "Certainly I am," she said, turning to Carys.

Cy: "Dyma fy ffrind, Carys."
En: "This is my friend, Carys."

Cy: Mae Carys yn edrych arno gyda dydlanad.
En: Carys looked at him with curiosity.

Cy: Roedd Rhys yn ystyriol ac yn amlwg yn rhannu ei diddordebau.
En: Rhys was considerate and obviously shared her interests.

Cy: Ond roedd hi am gadw ei difrifoldeb.
En: But she wanted to maintain her seriousness.

Cy: "Diolch am ymuno â ni," meddai’n ffeind iawn, a troi ei golwg nôl at y traeth.
En: "Thank you for joining us," she said kindly, turning her gaze back to the beach.

Cy: Ar ôl oriau o gasglu sbwriel ar hyd y traeth, roedd hi'n amser am egwyl.
En: After hours of picking up litter along the beach, it was time for a break.

Cy: Mae Rhys a Carys yn cerdded ochr yn ochr, eu camau'n ddi-synnwyr wrth i'r gwynt chwythu'n gryf.
En: Rhys and Carys walked side by side, their steps spontaneous as the wind blew strongly.

Cy: "Beth sy'n dy ddod di yma, Carys?" gofynnodd Rhys, gan geisio torri'r distawrwydd.
En: "What brings you here, Carys?" Rhys asked, trying to break the silence.

Cy: Mae Carys yn cydio yn llen ei siaced yn dynnach.
En: Carys clutched her jacket tighter.

Cy: "Rydw i'n caru natur," meddai hi yn fyr.
En: "I love nature," she said shortly.

Cy: "Rwy'n meddwl bod angen i ni warchod ein planed."
En: "I think we need to protect our planet."

Cy: Dim ond hynna sylwa Rhys bod y cymylau ar yr awyr yn dechrau troi'n anniddorol dywyll.
En: Only then did Rhys notice that the clouds in the sky were beginning to turn ominously dark.

Cy: "Mae'n edrych fel bydd storm," dywedodd ots a llais dwys.
En: "It looks like there's going to be a storm," he said with a concerned and intense voice.

Cy: Cyn iddyn nhw allu gweithredu, roedd y gwynt wedi troi mewn i chorwynt stormus, a'r glaw yn bwrw.
En: Before they could react, the wind had turned into a turbulent whirlwind, and the rain was pouring down.

Cy: "Allwn ni ddim aros yma," datganodd Rhys, gan bendroni wrth orfodi Carys i symud tuag at gysgod o fwthyn bach ar ochr y traeth.
En: "We can't stay here," declared Rhys, urging Carys to move toward the shelter of a small cottage by the beach.

Cy: Unwaith mewn diogelwch, mae Carys yn dod o hyd i rym er mwyn sôn am pa mor anodd yw hi iddi gysylltu â phobl.
En: Once in safety, Carys found the courage to speak about how difficult it is for her to connect with people.

Cy: "Rydw i'n ofni... Agor fy hun," cyfaddefodd hi, ei llais yn cau am ei henaid.
En: "I'm afraid... to open myself up," she admitted, her voice baring her soul.

Cy: Mae Rhys yn gwenu, ei lygaid yn dangos dealltwriaeth.
En: Rhys smiled, his eyes showing understanding.

Cy: "Mae'n iawn i deimlo felly," meddalodd, trwy ddod yn agosach.
En: "It's okay to feel that way," he said gently, moving closer.

Cy: "Mae'n cymryd amser i ddysgu ymddiriedaeth."
En: "It takes time to learn to trust."

Cy: Gyda'r storm yn rhuddo tu mewn, roedd Carys yn teimlo’n rhydd.
En: With the storm raging outside, Carys felt free.

Cy: "Mi ddeudwn ni gwrdd â'u gilydd eto," addawodd Rhys wrth iddi edrych allan ar y mor tempog.
En: "We'll meet each other again," promised Rhys as she looked out at the stormy sea.

Cy: "Byddwn yn gweithio gyda'n gilydd i wneud gwahaniaeth."
En: "We'll work together to make a difference."

Cy: Roedd yr addewid yn twndl gemau yn ei chalon.
En: The promise filled her heart with warmth.

Cy: Roedd Carys yn gwybod mai gwarchod natur oedd ei anadl, ond roedd hefyd amser am agoriaeth newydd yn ei bywyd.
En: Carys knew that protecting nature was her breath, but it was also time for a new openness in her life.

Cy: Wnaeth hi dyngu i ddod nôl i Sir Benfro – gwahoddiad i newid, ochr yn ochr â Rhys.
En: She vowed to return to Pembrokeshire—a call to change, alongside Rhys.
