    Story Transcript:

    Cy: Ar hyd ffordd y Gŵyr, roedd yr awyrgylch yn llawn gobaith.
    En: Along the Gŵyr Way, the atmosphere was full of hope.

    Cy: Roedd yr hydref wedi dod â'i lliwiau bendigedig, a meillion rhagfynciog yn eistedd yn llawch y coed.
    En: Autumn had brought its magnificent colors, and hesitant clovers sat in the shelter of the trees.

    Cy: Gwyneth, gwraig annibynnol gyda chalon eang, cerddai'r llwybrau ar ei phennau ei hun.
    En: Gwyneth, an independent woman with a wide heart, walked the paths on her own.

    Cy: Roedd hi'n chwilio am rhywbeth mwy na'r hyn roedd bywyd bob dydd yn ei gynnig.
    En: She was looking for something more than what everyday life offered.

    Cy: Ar ôl colli anwylyn yn ddiweddar, roedd Rhys ar daith arall, gyda'r cysgodion o’i golled yn dilyn.
    En: After recently losing a loved one, Rhys was on another journey, with the shadows of his loss following him.

    Cy: Ond roedd y golygfeydd godidog a’r môr tonnog yn cynnig rhyw fath o lonyddwch iddo.
    En: But the breathtaking views and the rolling sea offered him some peace.

    Cy: Cyrhaeddodd Rhossili am y tro cyntaf, yn awyddus i ddod o hyd i newydd-ddaeth.
    En: He reached Rhossili for the first time, eager to find something new.

    Cy: Pan ddaw'r ymwelwyr at y traeth, mae bonfire yn dechrau goleuo.
    En: When the visitors arrive at the beach, a bonfire begins to light up.

    Cy: Mae Gwyneth a Rhys yn dod ar draws ei gilydd wrth iddynt ymuno â'r cwmni.
    En: Gwyneth and Rhys come across each other as they join the company.

    Cy: Aerod gwynt yr hydref, a'r tân yn cynhesu'r cyrff a'r hysbryd.
    En: The autumn wind pares, and the fire warms their bodies and spirits.

    Cy: "Nos Galan Gaeaf hapus," meddai Rhys, gyda sourire.
    En: "Happy Halloween," said Rhys, with a smile.

    Cy: Mae ei lygaid yn disgleirio wrth iddynt eistedd gyda'i gilydd, yn agos at wal y tonnau.
    En: His eyes sparkled as they sat together, close to the wall of waves.

    Cy: "Do, mae hwn yn noson arbennig," atebodd Gwyneth, ei llais yn ddoniol a gwastad, ond gyda elfen o'n hiraeth anniddig.
    En: "Yes, this is a special night," replied Gwyneth, her voice playful and steady, but with an element of restless yearning.

    Cy: "Rydw i'n hoffi'r syniad o ddathlu'r gorffennol a'r newydd.
    En: "I like the idea of celebrating the past and the new."

    Cy: "Wrth i gainc taro yn y bonfire, mae Gwyneth yn dweud straeon o'i hen berthnasoedd.
    En: As a branch crackles in the bonfire, Gwyneth tells stories of her past relationships.

    Cy: Mae'r lleisiau sy'n crynhoi yn y gylch a'r haul yn mynd i lawr.
    En: The voices gather in the circle and the sun goes down.

    Cy: Mae Rhys yn gwrando gyda dealltwriaeth dawel, yn rhannu ei golled ei hun am y tro cyntaf yn hir.
    En: Rhys listens with quiet understanding, sharing his own loss for the first time in a long while.

    Cy: "Mae'n anodd peidio â bod ofn trwy ei gilydd," meddai Rhys.
    En: "It's hard not to be afraid throughout it all," said Rhys.

    Cy: "Ond, dwi’n meddwl mae Nant Gŵyl y Neidr yn berffaith i ryw fath o bwynt newydd.
    En: "But, I think Nant Gŵyl y Neidr is perfect for some kind of new point."

    Cy: ""Os ydy hynny’n wir?
    En: "Is that true?"

    Cy: " spyngodd Gwyneth gydag edrych rhwng hi ei llwydd a'r tonnau sy'n cilio.
    En: Gwyneth pried, glancing between him and the retreating waves.

    Cy: Wrth i'r nos ddod lawr, mae Gwyneth yn cynnig taith gerdded dros ben draw y bryn nesaf, Ble pawb ar radagas.
    En: As night falls, Gwyneth suggests a walk over the next hill, where everyone is at rest.

    Cy: Wrth iddynt cerdded gyda'i gilydd, maen nhw'n teimlo egni’r sêr sy'n llawn yr awyr.
    En: As they walk together, they feel the energy of the stars filling the sky.

    Cy: Gan sefyll ar dop y bryniau, daeth y perciad syml o lawenhau a sylwi mai’r awyr a’r anadl ydi holl symbyliadau’r galon.
    En: Standing at the top of the hills, came the simple perk of rejoicing and realizing that the sky and the breath are the heart's true stimuli.

    Cy: "'Rydyn ni i gyd yn chwilio am yr un pethau," meddai Gwyneth, gyda chalon newydd agor.
    En: "We are all searching for the same things," said Gwyneth, with a newly opened heart.

    Cy: Mae Rhys yn edrych tuag at orwel y môr.
    En: Rhys looks towards the sea horizon.

    Cy: "Efallai y gallwn ni ddarganfod nhw gyda'n gilydd," dywedodd, gyda rhieni newydd-deitl.
    En: "Perhaps we can discover them together," he said, with newfound courage.

    Cy: Mae'r haul cyntaf yn dawnsio'r bore union a'r golau dysglaid nhw am ddyddiau gwell i ddod.
    En: The first light of dawn shone on the morning, hinting at better days to come.

    Cy: O'ch golwyn gyffredin, ddodwyd mwy na goleuni.
    En: From a shared perspective, more than light was brought forth.

    Cy: Roedd yn dod â gobaith, tanwydd, a chyfeillgarwch newydd sbon.
    En: It brought hope, fuel, and brand-new friendship.

    Cy: Roedden nhw wedi darganfod nid yn unig gobaith, ond ffrindiaeth go iawn, gan adael straeon a phoenau'r gorffennol ar y traeth ychydig bell.
    En: They had discovered not only hope, but a true friendship, leaving the stories and pains of the past on the beach some distance away.

    Cy: Roedden nhw'n cael eu hachub trwy oleuni nowy gŵyr.
    En: They were saved through the light of a new way.

    Cy: Roedd eu dyfodol yn sgleinio o flaen iddyn nhw fel diwrnod newydd disglair, a'r ddau rwymedig o rannu profiadau newydd law-yn-law.
    En: Their future shone before them like a bright new day, with both bound to share new experiences hand-in-hand.

    Story Transcript:

    Cy: Wrth i'r dydd yn lleddfu a'r nos yn agosáu, roedd awyrgylch awyrgylch arbennig yn Llyn Tegid.
    En: As the day softened and the night approached, there was a special atmosphere at Llyn Tegid.

    Cy: Taflu lliwiau’r hydref ar y dŵr tawel, roedd golau’r lampau yn pefrio o amgylch y llyn.
    En: Casting the autumn colors on the calm water, the light from the lamps sparkled around the lake.

    Cy: Roedd Carwyn yn sefyll wrth lan y dŵr, ei galon yn curo gyda chyffro a nerfusrwydd.
    En: Carwyn stood by the water's edge, his heart beating with excitement and nervousness.

    Cy: Roedd y diwrnod yn arbennig – Gŵyl Cynhaeaf oedd hi, yn llawn canu, dawnsio, a chwerthin.
    En: It was a special day – it was the Harvest Festival, full of singing, dancing, and laughter.

    Cy: Fodd bynnag, nid y gweithgareddau hyn sydd dal y cariad yng nghalon Carwyn.
    En: However, it was not these activities that captured the love in Carwyn's heart.

    Cy: Roedd Eira, ferch fywiog gydag artist fewnol, yn hedfan rhwng y stondinau, ei llygaid yn chwilio am lliw a golau i ysbrydoli ei chelf.
    En: Eira, a lively girl with an inner artist, flitted between the stalls, her eyes searching for color and light to inspire her art.

    Cy: Wrth iddi weld Carwyn yn sefyll ar wahân, teimlai casáu eu bod yn gweld pobl yn unig mewn lle cymaint â hyn.
    En: When she saw Carwyn standing apart, she loathed seeing people alone in such a large place.

    Cy: Felly, fe benderfynodd iddo fynd at Carwyn.
    En: So, she decided to go over to Carwyn.

    Cy: “Eira ydw i,” meddai, gan gyflwyno ei hun gyda gwên eang.
    En: “Eira I am,” she said, introducing herself with a wide smile.

    Cy: Roedd Carwyn yn golchi â swildod, ond gwelodd yn Eira rywbeth fel darganfyddiad.
    En: Carwyn flushed with shyness, but he saw something of discovery in Eira.

    Cy: Roedd ei hyder yn llawn cyferbyniad â’i hunan swil.
    En: Her confidence was in sharp contrast to his shy self.

    Cy: “Helo, Carwyn ydw i,” atebodd.
    En: “Hello, Carwyn I am,” he replied.

    Cy: Fel y nos yn raddol godi, rhannodd Carwyn stori o’r gorffennol am Lyn Tegid.
    En: As the night slowly rose, Carwyn shared a story from the past about Llyn Tegid.

    Cy: Soniodd am y hen chwedl sy'n dweud bod pleseryddion dŵr dirgel yn gwarchod y llyn.
    En: He mentioned the old legend that mysterious water sprites protect the lake.

    Cy: Wrth ei ddiweddu, roedd llygad Eira yn pefrio gyda syniad newydd.
    En: By the end, Eira's eyes sparkled with a new idea.

    Cy: A'i lygaid yn disgleirio, Eira dywedodd, “Mae angen i mi dynnu llun hyn.
    En: With her eyes shining, Eira said, “I need to draw this.

    Cy: Rhaid dal yr ysblander a’r hud a dywedodd di’m stori, Carwyn.”
    En: I must capture the splendor and magic of your story, Carwyn.”

    Cy: Wedi hynny, dechreuodd hau i lawr y llwybr, ond nid heb adael Carwyn gydag undon a gorau gwên.
    En: After that, she started to sprint down the path, but not without leaving Carwyn with a constant and best smile.

    Cy: Wrth iddyn nhw ymuno yn y defod goleuo lampau, roedd cyfle i Carwyn siarad, a'i fomio gyda’i holl nerfusrwydd.
    En: As they joined in the ritual of lighting the lamps, there was an opportunity for Carwyn to speak, and he bombed with all his nervousness.

    Cy: “Eira,” dechreuodd, “Dw i ddim ond eisiau dweud... diolch i ti am fynd y cam cyntaf.
    En: “Eira,” he began, “I just want to say... thank you for taking the first step.

    Cy: Dw i'n falch o'r cyfle i fod yn ffrindiau ac efallai mwy…”
    En: I'm glad for the chance to be friends and maybe more…”

    Cy: Cafodd ei gondro a’i siom.
    En: He was both surprised and disappointed.

    Cy: Ond yn hytrach na siarad, roedd Eira’n codi ei chynfas, ei phensil yn symud yn gyflym ar draws papur.
    En: But rather than speaking, Eira raised her canvas, her pencil moving quickly across paper.

    Cy: Roedd hi’n dal y foment: hwyl angenfilod lampau, tôn aur yr hydref, a Carwyn yn ei ymddiriedaeth a’i onestrwydd.
    En: She captured the moment: the joy of the lamp sprites, the golden tone of autumn, and Carwyn in his trust and honesty.

    Cy: Wrth iddynt gerdded i lawr y lôn nos, roedd Carwyn mwy gwydn nag erioed dotio sut y gallai fynd y cam cyntaf.
    En: As they walked down the night lane, Carwyn, more resilient than ever, pondered how he could take the first step.

    Cy: Roedd yn gwybod y byddai’r cyfeillgarwch newydd hwn wedi cael ei ysmsod eisoes, ac y byddai mwy i ddod drwyddo.
    En: He knew that this new friendship had already been established, and that more would come through it.

    Cy: Fel diwedd y noson, roedd Llyn Tegid, gyda’i ddail melyn, fel pe bai’n adlewyrchu, nid yn unig digwyddiadau’r dydd, ond y newid ynddo Carwyn ei hun: o swildod i gryfder.
    En: At the end of the night, Llyn Tegid, with its yellow leaves, seemed to reflect not only the events of the day but the change within Carwyn himself: from shyness to strength.

    Cy: Roedd yn gwybod, er nad oedd e yn gwybod o’r blaen, fod gwneud agored a fyddai’n iachus a llawer mwy ystyrlon na cai di feddwl.
    En: He knew, though he hadn't known before, that openness would be healthier and much more meaningful than he had thought.

    Cy: Ar y noson honno, yn eiliadau cyffrous y gŵyl, dechreuodd eu cwlwm ffurfio, ac o'r pwynt hwnnw ymlaen, roeddent wedi gwybod – roeddent wedi dechrau ar daith o ffrindiau adnabyddus, a beth mae yn datblygu.
    En: On that night, in the festival's thrilling moments, their bond began to form, and from that point on, they knew – they had embarked on a journey of newfound friendship, and what it was to become.

    Cy: Ar fore llwyd o hydref, roedd y gwynt yn chwythu drwy goedwig Snowdonia.
    En: On a gray autumn morning, the wind was blowing through the forests of Snowdonia.

    Cy: Roedd Ioan, Carys, a Gwen yn paratoi i gychwyn ar daith maes i safle hanesyddol.
    En: Ioan, Carys, and Gwen were preparing to set off on a field trip to a historical site.

    Cy: Roedd Ioan yn edrychog, ond yn cadw ei ofnau am y mynyddoedd yn gyfrinach.
    En: Ioan appeared calm, but kept his fears about the mountains a secret.

    Cy: Roedd ei atgofion o ddamwain yn y gorffennol yn dal ar ei meddwl.
    En: His memories of a past accident were still on his mind.

    Cy: “Ti’n barod?” holodd Carys, ei wyneb yn llawn cyffro.
    En: "Are you ready?" asked Carys, her face full of excitement.

    Cy: Gwenu roedd hi bob amser wrth feddwl am ddiwrnodau fel hyn.
    En: She always smiled when thinking of days like this.

    Cy: “Ydw, wrth gwrs,” atebodd Ioan, gan guddio ei bryder tu mewn ei lais.
    En: "Yes, of course," replied Ioan, hiding his anxiety behind his voice.

    Cy: Roedd Carys yn ei gefnogi heb sylwi ar ei ofn.
    En: Carys supported him without noticing his fear.

    Cy: Gwen, eu hathrawes hanes, oedd yn arwain y grŵp.
    En: Gwen, their history teacher, was leading the group.

    Cy: "Byddwn ni’n dysgu am y bryniau uchel lle’r oedd y rhufeiniad yn edrych dros Gymru," eglurodd Gwen wrth iddynt ddechrau cerdded.
    En: "We’ll be learning about the high hills where the Romans looked over Wales," explained Gwen as they began walking.

    Cy: Roedd hi’n ddynes garedig ac addysgiadol, bob amser yn gwneud yn siŵr bod ei myfyrwyr yn dysgu rhywbeth newydd.
    En: She was a kind and educational woman, always making sure her students learned something new.

    Cy: Wrth i'r llwybr fynd yn fwy serth, dechreuodd Ioan deimlo ei galon yn curo'n gyflymach.
    En: As the path grew steeper, Ioan began to feel his heart beat faster.

    Cy: Roedd y bryniau hyn yn paratoi her iddo.
    En: These hills posed a challenge for him.

    Cy: Credai ei fod yn hoffi hanes, ond roedd y ffordd i'r safle yn adgofio'r ddamwain tal dirgel o’i orffennol.
    En: He believed he liked history, but the path to the site reminded him of the mysterious accident from his past.

    Cy: Cyrraedd y dewis— dyma’r tro lle roedd yn gorfod wynebu ei ofn.
    En: Arriving at a decision—this was the point where he had to face his fears.

    Cy: Arosai Ieir fel arfer mewn man diogel, ond roedd y cyfle i archwilio safle cyfoethog mewn hanes yn ei demtio.
    En: He usually stayed in a safe place, but the opportunity to explore a site rich in history tempted him.

    Cy: Roedd Carys yn gwylio Ioan gydag awydd i’w helpu.
    En: Carys watched Ioan with a desire to help.

    Cy: "Ti’n iawn, Ioan?" gofynnodd hi'n bwyllog.
    En: "Are you okay, Ioan?" she asked calmly.

    Cy: “Ydw,” meddai Ioan o’r diwedd, “Dw i am roi cynnig ar hwn.”
    En: “Yes,” said Ioan finally, “I want to give this a try.”

    Cy: Gyda hynny, dechreuodd ddilyn Gwen a'r grŵp i fyny’r llethrau serth.
    En: With that, he began to follow Gwen and the group up the steep slopes.

    Cy: Gwen yn arwain, a stori Ion yn dechre meddwl, roedd Ioan yn cofio ei barch tuag at hanes Cymru.
    En: With Gwen leading, and the story beginning to unfold in his mind, Ioan recalled his respect for the history of Wales.

    Cy: Roedd pob cam yn uchel a phob ongl yn her, ond roedd ei benderfyniad yn parhau.
    En: Each step was high and each angle a challenge, but his determination remained.

    Cy: Wrth iddynt gyrraedd copa'r bryn, roedd y golygfeydd yn wefreiddiol.
    En: As they reached the top of the hill, the views were breathtaking.

    Cy: Roedd y cymylau'n symud yn gloi wrth eu traed a’r bryniau’n llawn hanes o’u blaen.
    En: The clouds moved swiftly at their feet and the hills full of history lay before them.

    Cy: Roedd pwynt hanesyddol Gwen yn dweud stori.
    En: The historical point that Gwen explained told a story.

    Cy: “Gallwch chi weld lle roedd yr hen wersylloedd?” sialensiodd Gwen.
    En: “Can you see where the old camps were?” challenged Gwen.

    Cy: “Ar y dyddiau glir, gallai y rhufeiniad weld pob ciwbl o ardal yn rhyfeddol.”
    En: “On clear days, the Romans could see every inch of the area remarkably.”

    Cy: Yn sydyn, teimlai Ioan yn ddiogel ac wedi’i gryfhau.
    En: Suddenly, Ioan felt safe and strengthened.

    Cy: Roedd wedi wynebu ei ofn ac wedi pasio drwy gystadleuaeth ei feddyliau.
    En: He had faced his fears and passed through his mental battles.

    Cy: Gan eu profiad, roedd wedi dysgu y gall gwynebu ofnau ddod â theimlad difyr o gyflawniad.
    En: Through this experience, he had learned that facing fears can bring a thrilling sense of accomplishment.

    Cy: Doedd Carys ddim ond yn edrych gyda balchder, “Dwi wastad yn gwybod y gallet ti wneud e, Ioan,” meddai gyda chariad yn ei llais.
    En: Carys just looked on with pride, "I always knew you could do it, Ioan," she said with love in her voice.

    Cy: A dyna lle roedd eu taith hanesyddol yn dod i ben, gyda Ioan nawr yn gwybod bod camu allan o’i barth cysur yn gallu arwain at ddarganfyddiadau bendigedig.
    En: And so their historical journey came to an end, with Ioan now knowing that stepping out of his comfort zone could lead to wonderful discoveries.

    En: Our regions are full of stories and new achievements to uncover.

    Story Transcript:

    Cy: Ar fore braf, dan gymylau trymion hirion, dechreuodd Eira a Llyr eu cerdded i fyny llwybrau creigiog Parc Cenedlaethol Eryri.
    En: On a fine morning, beneath the looming heavy clouds, Eira and Llyr began their walk up the rocky paths of Parc Cenedlaethol Eryri.

    Cy: Roedd y coed derw a'r bedw yn arddangos lliwiau'r hydref gyda thafluniadau o oren a melyn yn crynhoi gwyrddni'r haf sydd wedi mynd heibio.
    En: The oak and birch trees displayed the colors of autumn, with bursts of orange and yellow collecting the green of the summer that has passed.

    Cy: Roedd awel oer yn cario arogl mwsogl a duonbicyllawr, gan fywiogi'r llwybrau.
    En: A cold breeze carried the scent of moss and bilberries, invigorating the paths.

    Cy: Teimlodd Eira fod hyn yn dynged, amser y penwythnos Calan Gaeaf i wneud iawn am y blynyddoedd rhwng hi a'i brawd, Llyr.
    En: Eira felt this was destiny, the time of the Halloween weekend to make up for the years between her and her brother, Llyr.

    Cy: Trodd Llyr ei lygaid i'r sgrin ffôn yn ei law a dilyn ei chwaer heb fwriad i ddechrau sgwrs.
    En: Llyr turned his eyes to the phone screen in his hand and followed his sister without intent to start a conversation.

    Cy: Telgodd Eira wynt fychan trwy ei thrwyn, teimlodd angen mawr i geisio troi’r tawelwch yn rhywbeth gwell.
    En: Eira exhaled slightly through her nose, feeling a strong need to try to turn the silence into something better.

    Cy: Roedd hi eisiau cysylltu â Llyr, nid dim ond cerdded ochr yn ochr mewn tawelwch.
    En: She wanted to connect with Llyr, not just walk side by side in silence.

    Cy: “Oes, ddylet ti weld hyn o bryd, Llyr, yng nghanol yr hydref?
    En: "Shouldn't you be seeing this now, Llyr, in the midst of autumn?"

    En: As they waited for the shower to relent, Llyr began to speak, his voice heavy with meaning: "It would be best to bring everything to the open, rather than let it linger."

    Cy: ” Roedd geiriau Llyr yn arwydd o’r llun haul newydd yn eu perthynas.

    Cy: “Diolch i ti am hynny,” meddodd Llyr, gan edrych arno’n ddiolchgar ac yn newydd.
