Story Transcript:

Cy: Yn y haf, roedd pentref bychan yn Snowdonia yn llawn bywiogrwydd.
En: In the summer, a small village in Snowdonia was full of vitality.

Cy: Ar stryd dawel, roedd siop de Carys yn cynnig lloches lle gallai pobl ymgynnull i fwynhau te heintus a phastai cartrefol.
En: On a quiet street, Carys's tea shop offered a refuge where people could gather to enjoy infectious tea and homely pastries.

Cy: Gyda’i chadeiriau gwahanol, trawstiau pren, a golygfeydd trawiadol o’r bryniau a’r grug lliwgar oddi allan, roedd awyrgylch croesawgar a chynnes.
En: With its mismatched chairs, wooden beams, and stunning views of the hills and colorful heather outside, it had a welcoming and warm atmosphere.

Cy: Roedd Emrys yn ymweld â’r siop bron bob dydd.
En: Emrys visited the shop almost every day.

Cy: Roedd yn fardd lleol ond roedd wedi cyffroi gyda bloc creadigol.
En: He was a local poet but was dealing with a creative block.

Cy: Roedd arno eisiau ysbrydoliaeth mewn rhywle newydd.
En: He wanted inspiration in a new place.

Cy: Treuliai oriau mewn cornel, gyda llyfr nodiadau gwag o’i flaen.
En: He would spend hours in a corner, with an empty notebook in front of him.

Cy: Ond roedd Emrys yn parhau i fod yn ansicr.
En: But Emrys continued to be uncertain.

Cy: Ai bardd oedd yntau, neu dim ond rhywun ifanc a oedd wedi colli gafael ar ei eiriau?
En: Was he truly a poet, or just a young man who had lost his grasp on words?

Cy: Roedd Rhiannon yn gymraes ifanc yn archwilio ei hetifeddiaeth Gymreig.
En: Rhiannon was a young Welsh woman exploring her Welsh heritage.

Cy: Roedd ei ffordd wedi dod â hi i bentref a olygai gymaint i’w teulu yn y gorffennol.
En: Her journey had brought her to a village that meant so much to her family in the past.

Cy: Roedd y pentref yn annisgwyl wedi dal ei llygad, gyda’i swyn a’i hanes.
En: The village had unexpectedly caught her eye, with its charm and history.

Cy: Roedd hi’n meddwl cyn ymadael, ond roedd y siop de wedi’i dal.
En: She considered leaving, but the tea shop had captured her.

Cy: Carys, perchennog y siop, oedd fel chwaer ofalgar, yn trefnu i Emrys a Rhiannon ddod i’w gilydd yn ddirgel.
En: Carys, the shop owner, was like a caring sister, secretly arranging for Emrys and Rhiannon to come together.

Cy: Mewn siarad a thost cynnes, datblygodd cyfeillgarwch naturiol rhwng y ddau.
En: In conversation and warm toast, a natural friendship developed between the two.

Cy: Roedd hyder Emrys yn cynyddu wrth i Rhiannon rannu ei stori.
En: Emrys's confidence grew as Rhiannon shared her story.

Cy: Yna, un diwrnod o haf, penderfynodd Carys gynnal digwyddiad bychan.
En: Then, one summer's day, Carys decided to hold a small event.

Cy: Emrys, wedi’i ysbrydoli gan y siop a’i gysylltiadau newydd, cafodd ysbrydoliaeth.
En: Emrys, inspired by the shop and his new connections, found inspiration.

Cy: Cododd i ddarllen cerdd roedd newydd ei chyfansoddi:
En: He got up to read a poem he had just composed:

Cy: "Y bryniau sy'n syfrdanu, Gydag heulwen yn ein cwmni, Rhiannon, mae'r mwd yn troi'n euraidd, Mae geiriau'n llifo’n rhydd drwodd i mi."
En: "The hills that dazzle, With sunshine as our company, Rhiannon, the mud turns golden, Words flow freely through to me."

Cy: Roedd y gathl creadigol yn fwy nag erioed.
En: The creative spark was greater than ever.

Cy: Roedd pawb yn gweiddi a’r cefnogaeth oedd yn llethol.
En: Everyone was cheering, and the support was overwhelming.

Cy: Roedd rhywbeth arbennig wedi digwydd.
En: Something special had happened.

Cy: Er bod Emrys wedi goresgyn ei rwystrau creadigol, roedd Rhiannon eisoes yn paratoi i adael.
En: Although Emrys had overcome his creative obstacles, Rhiannon was already preparing to leave.

Cy: Ond ni chawsant eu lapio mewn tristwch.
En: But they were not wrapped up in sadness.

Cy: Cynigwyd gobaith.
En: Hope was offered.

Cy: "Nid yw hyn yn ddiwedd," meddai Emrys wrth baratoi am ei hymadael.
En: "This is not the end," said Emrys as he prepared for her departure.

Cy: "Mae calon Cymru'n aros am eich dychweliad."
En: "The heart of Cymru awaits your return."

Cy: Gyda chalon llawn, gadawodd Rhiannon yr ardal, wedi gwneud addewid i ddychwelyd.
En: With a full heart, Rhiannon left the area, having made a promise to return.

Cy: Roedd Emrys, yn ei ôl, wedi dysgu gweld undod mewn man cyffredin, gan ddathlu pob gair a bryn a grug.
En: Emrys, in turn, had learned to see unity in a common place, celebrating every word and hill and heather.

Cy: Roedd y siop de a’i chysylltiadau wedi ennyn llawer mwy na chreadigaeth; roedd wedi creu cyfeillgarwch parhaol a brwdfrydedd newydd.
En: The tea shop and its connections had sparked much more than creativity; it had created lasting friendship and new enthusiasm.

Cy: Roedd yr haf hwn wedi datgelu ystyr glyfar o fod yn gartrefol, a’r pentref bychan yn Snowdonia yn parhau i adlewyrchu’r bardd a’r wraig daith.
En: This summer had revealed a clever meaning of being at home, and the small village in Snowdonia continued to reflect the poet and the woman on a journey.

En: Rhys was eager to lead them through his walking routes with excitement.

Cy: Roeddent wedi dewis Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, strwythur mawreddog yn uchel uwchben afon dawel.
En: They had chosen the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, a magnificent structure high above a tranquil river.

Cy: Tra'r oeddent yn cerdded, roedd yr haul yn tywynnu, gan greu golygfa ysblennydd dros y cefn gwlad.
En: As they walked, the sun was shining, creating a splendid view over the countryside.

Cy: Gan gyfeirio ymlaen, roedd Rhys yn teimlo bod yr haul yn gwenu ar ei gynlluniau.
En: Moving forward, Rhys felt that the sun was smiling on his plans.

Cy: Roedd Carys yn dawel, er bod colofnau uchel yr aqueduct yn erbyn ei chalon, ei phryder am uchderau yn cuddio dros ei wyneb.
En: Carys was quiet, even though the tall columns of the aqueduct were against her heart, her fear of heights hidden over her face.

Cy: Yn y cyfamser, roedd Gareth yn chwerthin a cheisio cadw'r awyrgylch yn ysgafn, er bod ei ben-glin yn cynnal cyfrinachau rhyfedd.
En: Meanwhile, Gareth was laughing and trying to keep the atmosphere light, even though his knee held strange secrets.

Cy: Wrth iddynt gyrraedd hanner ffordd, bu newid sydyn.
En: When they reached halfway, there was a sudden change.

Cy: Stopiodd Gareth yn strach ar ei ben-glin.
En: Gareth stopped in his tracks, clutching his knee.

Cy: Roedd y boen yn sydyn ac yn annisgwyl.
En: The pain was sudden and unexpected.

Cy: Dechreuodd Carys gicio gofalu, ond roedd y golygfa o'r uchder yn dal ei llygad, gan ei lapio mewn ofn.
En: Carys started to fuss over him, but the view from the height held her gaze, wrapping her in fear.

Cy: Daeth Rhys i feddwl yn gyflym.
En: Rhys quickly began to think.

Cy: Roedd ei galon yn pwyso wrth ddewis rhwng eu diogelwch a'r antur a gynlluniodd.
En: His heart weighed heavily as he chose between their safety and the adventure he had planned.

Cy: Yn sydyn, edrychodd Rhys i mewn i lygaid ei ffrindiau.
En: Suddenly, Rhys looked into his friends' eyes.

Cy: Roedd eu diogelwch yn hollbwysig.
En: Their safety was paramount.

Cy: Heb flewyn ar dafod, gosododd Rhys ei fag i lawr a thynnodd gyflenwadau brys allan i atgyfnerthu pen-glin Gareth.
En: Without hesitation, Rhys set his bag down and pulled out emergency supplies to support Gareth's knee.

Cy: Gyda chefnogaeth Carys, dechreuon nhw symud yn ôl yn ofalus.
En: With Carys's support, they began to move back carefully.

Cy: Sicrhaodd Rhys ei bod hi'n okay gofalu am ei ffrindiau tra'n cilio oddi ar gadwyn yr aqueduct.
En: Rhys made sure that it was okay to take care of his friends while retreating from the aqueduct's span.

Cy: Ar ôl cyrraedd y terfyn, eisteddodd Gareth a gan ddiolch ei ffrindiau gydag ochenaid o ryddhad.
En: Once they reached the end, Gareth sat down and thanked his friends with a sigh of relief.

Cy: Gwnaeth Carys agor ei chalon i'r ddau, gan sôn am ei phryder mawr am uchder.
En: Carys opened her heart to the two, mentioning her great anxiety about heights.

Cy: Gwnaeth Rhys weld bod gwir gryfder yn yr hyn maen nhw wedi'i gyflawni gyda'i gilydd: cymorth, dealltwriaeth a gofal.
En: Rhys realized that true strength lay in what they had achieved together: support, understanding, and care.

En: He learned that success could be found in unity and that there was subtle value in loving and caring for friends.

Cy: Yn y môr o wefr a bryder, roedd Emrys, Carys, a thripod eu cynhyrfid Emrys yn barod i wynebu'r diwrnod mawr i gasglu Gethin o Orsaf Ganolog Caerdydd.
En: In the sea of excitement and anxiety, Emrys, Carys, and Emrys's tripod of enthusiasm were ready to face the big day to collect Gethin from Cardiff Central Station.

Cy: Roedd Haul yr haf yn sgleinio dros Bae Caerdydd, gan dramgwyddo pob ty a siop gydag euraid felyn.
En: The summer sun was shining over Cardiff Bay, adorning every house and shop with golden yellow.

Cy: Roedd y dŵr yn disgleirio fel croen mochyn wedi ei wau a’r gwynt môr yn swyno’r dorf.
En: The water sparkled like pigskin woven in and the sea breeze enchanted the crowd.

Cy: “Mae’n rhaid i ni gyrraedd yn brydlon,” meddai Carys, ei llais yn clymu’r aer â phwysigrwydd.
En: “We must arrive on time,” said Carys, her voice tying the air with importance.

Cy: Roedd hi’n poeni y byddent yn colli Gethin, y rhwyddfryd ffrind a oedd wedi bod drwy anffawd yn ddiweddar.
En: She worried that they might miss Gethin, the free-spirited friend who had recently been through misfortune.

Cy: "Peidiwch â phoeni," ateb Emrys, yn ceisio tawelu ei bryderon.
En: “Don’t worry,” replied Emrys, trying to calm her concerns.

Cy: “Nawn ni ddod o hyd iddo.
En: “We’ll find him.

Cy: Bydd popeth yn iawn,” meddai gan gyrru nhw i gyd ymlaen.
En: Everything will be fine,” he said, urging them all forward.

Cy: Roedd autobws Cymru’n aros wrth y gornel, yn agor ei ddrws yn fawr fel marmaled sy’n barod i gael ei dorri ar dost.
En: The Welsh bus waited at the corner, opening its door wide like marmalade ready to be spread on toast.

Cy: Roedd Emrys wedi cynllunio mynd at yr orsaf yn hudol, gydag eu camau yn ailadrodd hen ffyddlondeb celf a chwedl y ddinas.
En: Emrys had planned to go to the station magically, with their steps echoing the old loyalty of the art and legend of the city.

Cy: Ond cafodd pawb eu dychryn pan ddaeth drwg-hwyl i’w hwyneb i’w groesawu ar ganol y daith gyda’r newyddion syfrdanol.
En: But everyone was startled when mischief met their face in the middle of the journey with stunning news.

Cy: “Mae’r trên o Abertawe ar ei hôl hi,” datganodd y cyhoeddwr.
En: “The train from Swansea is delayed,” announced the broadcaster.

Cy: Emrys, gyda’i ysbryd anturus, roedd yn rhaid meddwl yn sydyn.
En: With his adventurous spirit, Emrys had to think quickly.

Cy: “Gadewch i ni fynd â llwybr arall,” awgrymodd, gan arwain Carys drwy strydoedd Caerdydd fel tywysog cyfarwydd gyda phaladr o ffrind a chanolbwynt unedig.
En: “Let’s take another route,” he suggested, leading Carys through the streets of Cardiff like a familiar prince with a beam of friendship and unified focus.

Cy: Troi yma, cario ymlaen yno, roedd yn rhaid iddynt frwydro’r traffig fel môr-ladron yn llwyr arglwyddiaethu’u llwybr.
En: Turning here, moving on there, they had to battle the traffic like pirates wholly owning their route.

Cy: Fodd bynnag, gwynt yr haul ar eu cuddieu roedd raid dyblu eu camau, gan wylo ar fwth cŵn taflu faglau.
En: However, the sun's wind on their backs made them double their steps, lamenting at the dog's booth throwing obstacles.

Cy: Pan oeddent yn cyrraedd y llwyfan, roedd sŵn y tren giogio wedi’u cyfarch fel côr o nythod adar haf.
En: When they reached the platform, the sound of the train chugging greeted them like a chorus of summer bird nests.

Cy: Delodd y tren i stop, a dyma Gethin yn y golwg.
En: The train came to a stop, and there was Gethin in sight.

Cy: Llawen oedd eu gafael, yn llawiau cynnil weithiodd llwysau tristwch ac aros yn chrys y wledd.
En: Their grasp was joyful, in gentle hands worked away the sadness and awaited the feast's glory.

Cy: Emrys a Carys yn sefyll yn gysuron wrth Gethin, a’r diwrnod marged rhai gastrakdo’n olau.
En: Emrys and Carys stood comfortingly with Gethin, and the day was a bright celebration.

Cy: Eisteddon nhw wrth lawr y Bae, yn fwynhau pob ceinder o’r rhosyn hen-sefydlig a’r ochon di-fwyd.
En: They sat by the bay, enjoying every elegance of the old-fashioned rose and the foodless delights.

Cy: “Mae’n dda cael gyda chi,” meddai Emrys, ei galon yn hym-gano gyda gwerthfawrogiad newydd.
En: “It’s good to be with you,” said Emrys, his heart singing with newfound appreciation.

Cy: Cafodd rhyddhad o lwys, o wybod ei ffrindiau’n gynghreirion o gerdd mawr Cyfyng Cerddyn.
En: He felt relief, knowing his friends were allies of a great song from Cyfyng Cerddyn.

Cy: Nodwyd ei long a’i gadarnhiad o gyffro naturiol, yn anfon nod Mon gydweithiol treiddio.
En: His solidarity and affirmation of natural excitement were noted, sending a cooperative tune of agreement.

Cy: Y dydd trimmewn byr, ond roedd ei phrydferthwch yn para hyd ei amser hiraf.
En: The day was short, but its beauty lasted as long as eternity.

Cy: Roedd Caerdydd yn ddinas aruthrol, ond ni welodd harddwch mwy eang dysg Emrys nac eraill, na’r digwyddiad syml o gyfeillgarwch a gweld rhywun annwyl yn ôl eto.
En: Cardiff was a formidable city, but Emrys and others had never seen broader beauty than the simple event of friendship and seeing a dear one again.

Story Transcript:

Cy: Yn gymdogaeth gartrefol, tafluodd heulwen hwyr yr haf ar draws y rhes o dai teras, lle roedd plant yn chwarae ar y strydoedd ac roedd teimlad o ddisgwyliad yn codi gyda dechrau’r ysgol yn nesáu.
En: In a cozy neighborhood, the late summer sunshine cast across the row of terraced houses, where children played in the streets and a sense of anticipation was rising with the start of school approaching.

Cy: Roedd Rhiannon yn drist wrth syllu allan o'r ffenestr y gegin, yn poeni am Emrys, eu mab benywaidd a oedd yn edrych ymlaen at ddechrau'r flwyddyn ysgol.
En: Rhiannon was sad as she stared out the kitchen window, worrying about Emrys, their girlish son who was looking forward to starting the school year.

Cy: Roedd ei gynorthwyo ef yn dod â phryder gwahanol.
En: Helping him brought its own kind of worry.

Cy: Ar y bwrdd o'i blaen, roedd rhestr o gyflenwadau ysgol.
En: On the table in front of her was a list of school supplies.

Cy: Disglodion, pensiliau, llyfrau - popeth yr oedd ei angen gan Emrys.
En: Scissors, pencils, books - everything Emrys needed.

Cy: Roedd y rhestr yn ymddangos yn ddiddiwedd, a rhoddai poen ym meddwl Rhiannon wrth feddwl am y treuliau.
En: The list seemed endless, and it pained Rhiannon to think about the expenses.

Cy: Roedd Gareth, ei gwr difater, ar lawr gwaelod yn plastro wal y cyntedd, wedi'i ddal yn brin yng nghyffro ei broject diweddaraf yn y tŷ.
En: Gareth, her indifferent husband, was downstairs plastering the hallway wall, absorbed in the excitement of his latest project in the house.

Cy: Doedd o ddim yn ymwybodol o'i phrinder.
En: He was unaware of her shortage.

Cy: “Beth am siarad â mein loyw? Gofyn am help,” meddyliodd Rhiannon.
En: “What about talking to bright mynahs? Ask for help,” Rhiannon thought.

Cy: Ond roedd ei hysbrydloneth yn crafu gwastraff yr hollolsiant.
En: But her inspiration scraped against the futility of the situation.

Cy: Yn lle hynny, penderfynodd wynebu Gareth.
En: Instead, she decided to face Gareth.

Cy: Pan aeth y dydd tuag at y nos, arhosodd Rhiannon iddo roi’r llawdrin i’w lef ar y fainc.
En: As the day turned to night, Rhiannon waited for him to set the trowel down on the bench.

Cy: "Gareth," dechreuodd yn bwyllog, ei eiriau’n drysu o’i ceg.
En: "Gareth," she began calmly, her words stumbling from her mouth.

Cy: “Mae angen i ni siarad am Emrys a’i bethau ysgol.”
En: “We need to talk about Emrys and his school things.”

Cy: Edrychodd Gareth i fyny, cochiad yn ei wedd wrth glywed y tensiwn yn ei llais.
En: Gareth looked up, a flush on his face at hearing the tension in her voice.

Cy: "Beth sy’n bod?" gofynnodd gyda sensitifrwydd newydd.
En: "What's wrong?" he asked with newfound sensitivity.

Cy: "Mae’r gost o bopeth," esboniodd Rhiannon, gan symud tuag at y bwrdd.
En: "It's the cost of everything," explained Rhiannon, moving towards the table.

Cy: "Dwi'n poeni sut y byddwn ni'n talu am bopeth."
En: "I’m worried about how we’ll pay for everything."

Cy: Roedd golwg Gareth yn meddalu, ac aeth ag ymael sydd wedi atto i edrych ar y rhestr hefyd.
En: Gareth's expression softened, and he joined her to look at the list as well.

Cy: Yn dawel, cawsant drafodaeth onest.
En: Quietly, they had an honest discussion.

Cy: Ddim am na chostau cudd, heb gysu llediaeth.
En: Not about hidden costs, without avoiding the real issues.

Cy: Dros y bore tatw, a’r dydd tan hynny, roeddent yn cynllunio eu cyllideb gyda’i gilydd.
En: Throughout the early morning, and the day since then, they planned their budget together.

Cy: Fe symudodd Rhiannon i lawr o bryder, yn teimlo cysylltiad newydd â Gareth, a gwybod roeddent wedi dod o hyd i ffordd ymlaen.
En: Rhiannon moved down from her worry, feeling a new connection with Gareth, knowing they had found a way forward.

Cy: Roedd Gareth, wedi cael ei ddeffro, yn fwy ymwybodol nawr o’r bwysau ariannol.
En: Gareth, having been awakened, was more aware now of the financial pressure.

Cy: Gan wylio Emrys yn cerdded allan i'r haul hwyr haf honno i ymarfer ar gyfer y flwyddyn ysgol newydd, roedd Rhiannon yn teimlo tawelwch o dan yr awyr las.
En: Watching Emrys walk out into that late summer sun to prepare for the new school year, Rhiannon felt peace under the blue sky.

Cy: Roedd popeth yn deimlad o gyfryngau cysylltiedig a diolchgarwch am ddechrau newydd y flwyddyn.
En: Everything was a feeling of connectedness and gratitude for the new beginning of the year.

Cy: Mae mab Emrys, Gareth a Rhiannon, a’r gobaith newydd yn eu calonnau.
En: There was Emrys, son of Gareth and Rhiannon, and the new hope in their hearts.

Cy: "Helo, Gareth," atebodd Carys yn garddig mor dyner, ei chysgod trwchus o wallt wedi'i rowlio yn stribedi euraidd gan yr haul.
En: "Hello, Gareth," replied Carys gently, her thick shadow of hair rolled into golden strands by the sun.
