Story Transcript:

Cy: Roedd haul yr haf yn tywynnu dros y traeth yn Abertawe.
En: The summer sun was shining over the beach in Abertawe.

Cy: Roedd y tywod yn dwym dan draed, ac roedd yr awyr yn llawn arogl hallt y môr.
En: The sand was warm underfoot, and the air was filled with the salty scent of the sea.

Cy: Roedd trwynau dynion, menywod a phlant wedi ennill lliwïo’r dydd o dan haul y prynhawn.
En: The noses of men, women, and children had earned the day's color under the afternoon sun.

Cy: Yma, yno a phob man, roedd sŵn adar môr yn gweiddi uwch ein pennau.
En: Here, there, and everywhere, the sound of seagulls screamed overhead.

Cy: Gethin, arlunydd lleol yn ei dridegau, cerddodd ar hyd yr arfordir, yn edrych am ysbrydoliaeth newydd ar gyfer ei weithiau celf.
En: Gethin, a local artist in his thirties, walked along the coastline, looking for new inspiration for his artworks.

Cy: Roedd wedi bod yn stryffagio i greu rhywbeth gwreiddiol ac roedd yn gobeithio y byddai rhywbeth yn y tirwedd yn dod â syniad newydd iddo.
En: He had been struggling to create something original and hoped that something in the landscape would bring him a new idea.

Cy: Roedd Dylan, ffrind da Gethin, yn rhedeg tuag ato.
En: Dylan, Gethin's good friend, was running towards him.

Cy: Roedd Carys, chwaer Dylan, yn dilyn yn dawel y tu ôl.
En: Carys, Dylan’s sister, was quietly following behind.

Cy: "Gethin!" gwaeddodd Dylan, taflu ei freichiau yn yr awyr.
En: "Gethin!" shouted Dylan, throwing his arms in the air.

Cy: "Edrych, mae rhywbeth mawr ar y traeth!"
En: "Look, there's something big on the beach!"

Cy: Curiodd calon Gethin ychydig yn gyflymach.
En: Gethin's heart beat a little faster.

Cy: Perodd chwilfrydedd iddo symud yn gynt tuag at yr hyn a adawodd y môr wrth lan môr.
En: Curiosity caused him to move more quickly towards what the sea had left on the shore.

Cy: Pan gyrhaeddodd, fe welodd fod yr eitem yn wrsl fawr, sy’n tyfu ar ochr y tonnau. Amser oedd wedi ei gorchuddio â llysiau’r môr.
En: When he arrived, he saw that the item was a large wrack, growing on the side of the waves, time had covered it with seaweed.

Cy: "Pa beth yw e?" Holodd Carys, ei llais yn ofnus.
En: "What is it?" Carys asked, her voice fearful.

Cy: "Ddylwn ni gyffwrdd â hyn?"
En: "Should we touch it?"

Cy: "Byddai'n beryglus," rhybuddiodd Carys, gan dynnu Dylan yn ôl.
En: "It could be dangerous," warned Carys, pulling Dylan back.

Cy: Ond roedd rhywbeth yn y gwrthrych hwnnw a alwodd ar Gethin.
En: But there was something about that object that called to Gethin.

Cy: Roedd yn rhaid iddo wybod.
En: He had to know.

Cy: Nid oedd yn gallu gwrthyrru ei nwyd am ddarganfod.
En: He couldn't resist his passion for discovery.

Cy: Gyda gofal, agorodd Gethin y gwrthrych di-furf.
En: Carefully, Gethin opened the formless object.

Cy: I’w drewdod, roedd yn gapolyn neges o long ar goll.
En: To his astonishment, it was a message capsule from a lost ship.

Cy: Y tu mewn, daeth ar draws cyflenwadau celf annisgwyl—pasteli, brwsys a hyd yn oed brasluniau.
En: Inside, he came across unexpected art supplies—pastels, brushes, and even sketches.

Cy: Roedd y syniad nad oedd y llawden o’r gorffennol yn dod â dim byd ond posibiliadau yn siglo’i galon.
En: The idea that the capsule from the past brought nothing but possibilities shook his heart.

Cy: Dyma'r sbin oedd ar goll i gynnau ei angerdd artistig.
En: This was the missing spark to ignite his artistic passion.

Cy: Sefyllodd Gethin ar y traeth, ei freichiau'n llawn trysor, pob syniad newydd yn dod iddo fel ton ar ôl ton.
En: Gethin stood on the beach, his arms full of treasure, each new idea coming to him like wave after wave.

Cy: Cysylltwch â’r gelf, a byddai’n trawsnewid ei hunan, gan greu casgliad newydd o chwarae gyda’r dirgelwch a’r antur newydd.
En: Connect with the art, and he would transform himself, creating a new collection playing with mystery and new adventure.

Cy: Trwy’r profiad hwn, dysgodd Gethin bŵer trobwynt o ysbrydoliaeth yn y mannau lleiaf disgwyliedig.
En: Through this experience, Gethin learned the power of a turning point of inspiration in the least expected places.

Cy: Roedd e wedi dod i ddeall gwerth bwrw ymlaen y tu hwnt o’i ffiniau diogel, gan darganfod pethau gwych.
En: He had come to understand the value of forging ahead beyond his safe boundaries, discovering great things.

Cy: Roedd hwn yn ddechrau newydd i’w gelfyddyd, a’r holl dasg lawen gartref a wnaeth yr haf.
En: This was a new beginning for his art, and the whole joyful task at home made the summer.
