Story Transcript:

Cy: Ar ddiwrnod o aeaf cynnar, roedd Carys yn cerdded drwy strydoedd Caerdydd.
En: On an early winter's day, Carys was walking through the streets of Caerdydd.

Cy: Roedd hi'n chwilio am y cipolwg perffaith i'w bortffolio ffotograffiaeth.
En: She was searching for the perfect shot for her photography portfolio.

Cy: Roedd ei chamerâu'n barod, ond roedd y cymylau'n ymgynnull.
En: Her cameras were ready, but the clouds were gathering.

Cy: Yn sydyn, dechreuodd bwrw glaw treisgar.
En: Suddenly, it began to rain violently.

Cy: Roedd y glaw yn disgyn fel rhaw ar faes chwarae.
En: The rain was falling like a shovel on a playground.

Cy: Roedd pobl yn rhedeg am loches.
En: People ran for cover.

Cy: Cawsai Carys fynd i mewn i gaffi bach ar gornel y stryd.
En: Carys managed to get inside a small café on the street corner.

Cy: Roedd y caffi'n llawn o bobl sychderfuddiannus.
En: The café was full of soaked and triumphant people.

Cy: Cyffyrddai arogl coffi ffres ei thrwyn.
En: The smell of fresh coffee touched her nose.

Cy: Roedd lleisiau brysur yn cymysgu â'r glaw yn canu ar y ffenestri.
En: Busy voices mixed with the rain singing on the windows.

Cy: Gwelodd rywun yn ei chael hi'n annodd colli.
En: She noticed someone difficult to miss.

Cy: Rhys oedd e. Athro hanes, yn chwilota am stori i'w fyfyrwyr.
En: It was Rhys, a history teacher, searching for a story for his students.

Cy: Roedd e'n edrych drwy'r ffenestri, yn gwylio'r glaw yn adlewyrchu ar y llawr caeëdig.
En: He was looking through the windows, watching the rain reflecting on the closed pavement.

Cy: Roedden nhw ill dau wedi gorfod cymryd lloches yma, yn ddisgwyl am y tywydd i'w rhoi goddef.
En: They both had to take shelter here, waiting for the weather to give them respite.

Cy: Wrth setlo, edrychodd Rhys i ochr ei gadeirydd a gweld symudiadau Carys yn ei ffasiwn ffotograffiaeth.
En: As they settled, Rhys looked to the side of his chair and saw Carys' movements in her photography fashion.

Cy: Dechreuodd siarad â hi, yn chwilfrydig am ei lluniau.
En: He began to talk to her, curious about her pictures.

Cy: "Beth wyt ti'n tynnu lluniau ohono heddiw?" gofynnodd Rhys, gyda llygad o chwilfrydedd.
En: "What are you taking photos of today?" asked Rhys, with an eye full of curiosity.

Cy: Roedd Carys yn wên yn sydyn, gan ddweud, "Roeddwn i'n chwilio am rywbeth unigryw.
En: Carys suddenly smiled and said, "I was searching for something unique.

Cy: Ond mae'n rhaid i mi gytuno nawr i ddarganfod y harddwch yn y caffi hwn."
En: But now I must agree to find beauty in this café."

Cy: "Hwyrach fy mod i'n gallu helpu," atebodd Rhys, gynnwrf yn ei llais.
En: "Perhaps I can help," replied Rhys, excitement in his voice.

Cy: "Rwy'n chwilio am stori i ysbrydoli fy myfyrwyr.
En: "I'm looking for a story to inspire my students.

Cy: Mae'n dal amser 'Noson tan y Gwyrthiadau.' Beth os byddwn i'n gweld yn eich pethau canfyddiadau?"
En: It's still time for 'Noson tan y Gwyrthiadau.' What if I might see insights in your work?"

Cy: Dechreuon nhw rannu eu dull, gan sylweddoli o dan olau'r caffi roedd eu tasgiau yn debyg iawn; un oedd yn gweld llygaid, a'r llall trwy eiriau.
En: They began to share their methods, realizing under the café's light that their tasks were quite similar; one saw through eyes, and the other through words.

Cy: Yn fywiog, buasant yn trafod bywyd, hanes a chelf.
En: Vividly, they discussed life, history, and art.

Cy: Roedd atmosffer cynnes - dim ond llewrch y coffi a cheidwad caffi caredig rhwng y ddau.
En: The atmosphere was warm - only the glow of coffee and a kind café keeper between the two.

Cy: Passiodd amser, a'r glaw yn gostwng.
En: Time passed, and the rain subsided.

Cy: Ar unwaith, dramaeddodd y ddau i fynd allan.
En: Suddenly, they made a move to leave.

Cy: Cyn iddyn nhw fynd, fe wnaethon nhw rannu eu manylion cyswllt, gan addo cadw mewn cysylltiad a'u hysbrydoli ei gilydd drachefn.
En: Before they went, they exchanged contact details, promising to stay in touch and inspire each other once more.

Cy: Mewn golau'r hydref, dysgodd Carys weld harddwch yn cyd byrsiau lleasteddion glyw.
En: In the autumn light, Carys learned to see beauty in the fleeting bursts of tranquility.

Cy: Rhys, yn ei dro, gwelodd gwerth gweld sawl persbectif.
En: Rhys, in turn, saw the value of multiple perspectives.

Cy: Yfory, byddai'r heriau fel llwyddiannau – ac oddi wrth ei gilydd, roedd cymhelleth eu dyfodol.
En: Tomorrow, challenges would become successes – and from each other, their futures were compelling.

Cy: Roedd yr haul yn dechrau torri trwy'r cymylau, a Carys a Rhys yn symud ymlaen, i ddarganfod mwy ynghyd.
En: The sun was beginning to break through the clouds, and Carys and Rhys moved on, to discover more together.

Cy: Fe roddodd y dydd yn gorffen gyda gobaith newydd, a'r drömniad llwch i'w ganlyn.
En: The day ended with new hope, and the dream of promises to follow.

Cy: Roedd Caerdydd yn dal i whistlo mewn aur hydref - tan y glaw nesaf.
En: Caerdydd kept whistling in golden autumn - until the next rain.

Story Transcript:

Cy: Yn y bore cynnar, roedd niwl byrlymus yn nadu'r golygfeydd amodig o ddoc y Llyngesol yn Noc Penfro.
En: In the early morning, a swirling mist obscured the scenic views of the Royal Navy dock at Doc Penfro.

Cy: Roedd yr hydref yn crwydro am y lle, wedi'i lapio mewn lliwiau'r dail newidiol.
En: Autumn wandered the place, wrapped in the colors of the changing leaves.

Cy: Roedd Eleri, Eleri ifanc â'i llygaid yn llachar, yn sefyll yn y giatiau mawr, yn drwm o awydd.
En: Eleri, a young woman with bright eyes, stood at the large gates, heavy with anticipation.

Cy: "Mae'n rhaid i ti fynd 'mlân ac ennill, Eleri," meddai Rhys, ei ffrind gorau, yn codi ei law mewn cymeradwyaeth.
En: "You have to go ahead and win, Eleri," said Rhys, her best friend, raising his hand in applause.

Cy: "Aye, ond cofia 'di, bydd Cerys yn arddullio ei ffordd dros amseriad, yn union fel arfer," ychwanegodd Rhys, gyda theimladau cymysg o gymorth a realaeth.
En: "Aye, but remember, Cerys will style her way over the timing, just like always," Rhys added, with mixed feelings of support and realism.

Cy: Roedd Cerys, athletwr a chystadleuydd tanllyd, wedi gafael yn gryf ar yr un pwnc â Eleri.
En: Cerys, an athlete and fierce competitor, had a strong grip on the same subject as Eleri.

Cy: Addo perfformiad chwythu'r gwynt fyddai'n denu sylw pawb.
En: Promising a show-stopping performance that would capture everyone's attention.

Cy: Ond i Eleri, y prif nod oedd dwyn bywyd i hanes cyfrinachol y doc.
En: But for Eleri, the main goal was to bring life to the hidden history of the dock.

Cy: Yn hytrach na phwyso ar lyfrau yn unig, roedd hi'n benderfynol o ymweld â'r doc eu hunain i gael gwybod mwy.
En: Instead of relying solely on books, she was determined to visit the dock herself to learn more.

Cy: Roedd yr hanes yn rhoi'r cyfle iddi ddod o hyd i straeon cuddiedig.
En: The history offered her the opportunity to uncover hidden stories.

Cy: O'i thaith, darganfu Eleri hanes cychod Cymreig y dderwen, adeiladau'r llongau dros oes hir, a'r rôl bwysig a chwaraeodd y doc yn Rhyfel y Crimea.
En: From her journey, Eleri discovered the history of Welsh oak ships, shipbuilding over long ages, and the significant role the dock played in the Crimean War.

Cy: Pan ddaeth diwrnod y cyflwyniad, roedd Eleri'n teimlo'r gwlybaniaeth o ofn yn creithio ei safiad.
En: When the day of the presentation arrived, Eleri felt the dampness of fear creeping into her stance.

Cy: Yn fuan, roedd hi ar lwyfan, golau'n codi arni.
En: Soon, she was on stage, lights rising on her.

Cy: Taflau cynnar ei lygaid yn sgubo'r ystafell, ei chalon yn gwibio.
En: Her early glances swept the room, her heart racing.

Cy: Dechreuodd hi gyda chyndyniant ansicr, ond yna... cofiodd hi straeon y doc.
En: She began with uncertain reluctance, but then... she remembered the stories of the dock.

Cy: "Dwi eisiau siarad â chi am llong o'r gorffennol," dechreuodd, llais yn drallodus.
En: "I want to talk to you about a ship from the past," she began, her voice trembling.

Cy: Wrth i hi ddatgelu'r straeon hynafol a chlywed straeon o'r doc, doedd dim angen y gŷn drafftio oedd Rhys wedi'i roi iddi.
En: As she unveiled ancient stories and heard the stories of the dock, she didn't need the draft script that Rhys had given her.

Cy: Cymerodd pawb ei hanes o anadl i anadl, ac ar unwaith, aeth ei ofnau yn ddigon i'w hangen.
En: Everyone took in her tale breath by breath, and immediately, her fears dissipated.

Cy: Er bod Cerys wedi cyflwyno'n gryf, roedd y beirniaid wedi gweld o lygad Eleri fod y straeon hyn yn byw iddi.
En: Even though Cerys presented strongly, the judges saw from Eleri's eyes that these stories lived within her.

Cy: Bu'r clod yn unfrydol.
En: The acclaim was unanimous.

Cy: "Eleri, diolch i ti am ddod â hanes anhygoel o'r doc yn fyw!" Cymedrodd beirniad.
En: "Eleri, thank you for bringing the incredible history of the dock to life!" praised a judge.

Cy: Gyda'r wobr yn ei llaw, gwnaeth Eleri ei ffordd o'r llwyfan, teimlo ei hyder yn ehangu yn ei chorff.
En: With the prize in her hand, Eleri made her way off the stage, feeling her confidence swell within her.

Cy: Dywedodd wrth Rhys, "Doeddwn i ddim angen y gwobr i wybod fy myfyrwyr, ond mae'n braf cael cydnabyddiaeth."
En: She told Rhys, "I didn't need the prize to know my worth, but it's nice to get recognition."

Cy: Dechreuodd y gwynt hydrefol chwythu'i gwallt i'w hwyneb wrth i hi ddechrau ar ddydd newydd, ei anhawsterau'n rhoi ffordd i'w hyder ac i'w hanes ei hun.
En: The autumn wind began to blow her hair into her face as she embarked on a new day, her challenges giving way to her confidence and her own narrative.

Cy: Felly, mewn lle anhygoel o grwydro'r Llynges Doc, daeth Eleri nid yn unig yn fuddugol, ond yn hanesydd gydag adfywiad personol.
En: Thus, in the remarkable realm of the Naval Dock, Eleri became not only a victor but a historian with a renewed personal awakening.

Story Transcript:

Cy: Yn nhref lân arfordirol Sir Benfro, lle mae'r awyr mor las â'r môr ac mae'r haul yn cuddio rhwng y bryniau, roedd tîm o dri yn gweithio gyda'i gilydd yng nghornel tawel o'r farchnad gymunedol.
En: In the pristine coastal town of Sir Benfro, where the sky is as blue as the sea and the sun hides between the hills, a team of three worked together in a quiet corner of the community market.

Cy: Roedd Emrys, arweinydd pragmatig a phroffesiynol o'r cychwyn cyntaf, yn tywys ei gydweithwyr, Carys a Gwen, ar genhadaeth cyffrous i ddatblygu paneli solar newydd.
En: Emrys, a pragmatic and professional leader from the start, guided his colleagues, Carys and Gwen, on an exciting mission to develop new solar panels.

Cy: Mae’r caeau yn rwd, gan dywynnu yn olau aur yr hydref, tra bod y farchnad yn orlawn o bobl yn gwerthu caws lleol a sudd afal, a'r trydar adar yn y cefndir.
En: The fields glowed in the golden autumn light, while the market was bustling with people selling local cheese and apple juice, with the twittering of birds in the background.

Cy: Bu Emrys yn siarad yn dawel, yn egluro ei gynlluniau gyda brwdfrydedd.
En: Emrys spoke quietly, explaining his plans with enthusiasm.

Cy: Roedd angen i'r prosiect lwyddo, meddai ef, i ennill ymddiriedaeth buddsoddwyr newydd.
En: The project needed to succeed, he said, to gain the trust of new investors.

Cy: Roedd eu hadroddiad technegol yn dweud bod y paneli'n addawol, ond roedd angen gwir brofiad.
En: Their technical report stated that the panels were promising, but real-world experience was necessary.

Cy: "Carys," meddai Emrys, gyda gwen taer, "dyma amser gwych i farchnata ein syniadau.
En: "Carys," said Emrys, with an earnest smile, "this is a great time to market our ideas.

Cy: Bydd y ffair eco-arloesi hon yn gyfle gwych.
En: This eco-innovation fair will be a fantastic opportunity."

Cy: " Roedd Carys, ysbrydolgar a llawn gobaith, yn awyddus i lusgo’r syniad i’r ffair.
En: Carys, inspiring and full of hope, was eager to take the idea to the fair.

Cy: Ond roedd Gwen, peiriannydd ofalus, yn rhybuddio am faterion diogelwch.
En: But Gwen, a cautious engineer, warned about safety issues.

Cy: “Emrys, mae angen sicrhau bod popeth yn gadarn.
En: "Emrys, we need to ensure everything is solid.

Cy: Mae unrhyw broblemau a all godi yn ein treial cymunedol yn codi pryder.
En: Any problems that could arise in our community trial raise concerns."

Cy: ”Byddai'r treial hwn yn rhaid iddo wneud neu dorri’r brosiect.
En: This trial would have to make or break the project.

Cy: Emrys, yn cychwyn gyda phenderfyniad, ddechreuodd recriwtio'r gymuned.

Cy: Roedd y pentrefwyr yn cefnogi ac yn falch o weld dewisiadau ynni cynaliadwy newydd ar y gweill.
En: The villagers were supportive and proud to see new sustainable energy options in development.

Cy: Yn ystod diwrnod y treial, cododd delwawydd llawer o sylwadau.
En: On the day of the trial, a reporter made many comments.

Cy: Roedd pobl yn hoff iawn o’r paneli ond roeddent wedi gweld ambell anhawster technegol.
En: People liked the panels very much but had spotted a few technical difficulties.

Cy: Pan ddaeth y treial i ben, Emrys oedd yn wynebu dewis anodd.
En: When the trial ended, Emrys faced a difficult choice.

Cy: Roedd amser wedi prinhau, a gwaith oedd angen ei wneud.
En: Time had run short, and work was needed.

Cy: Bu’r gymuned yn annog gwelliannau.
En: The community urged improvements.

Cy: Emrys pwy a wyddai, tu allan i'w awydd gwreiddiol, fod yn rhaid iddo glywed eraill.
En: Emrys, beyond his original eagerness, knew he had to listen to others.

Cy: Penderfynodd arafu.
En: He decided to slow down.

Cy: I oedi eu mynegiad yn y ffair.
En: To delay their presentation at the fair.

Cy: Tra oedd Carys yn ofni collbarad, roedd angen i Emrys roi ffydd yn nymchweliadau Gwen.
En: While Carys feared a missed opportunity, Emrys needed to have faith in Gwen's insights.

Cy: Roeddent i gyd yn cydsynio, gwybod bod hyn yn well na gwneud pethau ar frys a methu.
En: They all agreed, knowing this was better than rushing and failing.

Cy: Am hydref arall yng ngolau'r haul Sir Benfro, adawodd y tîm gydag ymddiriedaeth newydd y gallent gymryd eu hamser.
En: For another autumn in the sunlight of Sir Benfro, the team departed with renewed trust that they could take their time.

Cy: Roedd y cyfraniadau cymunedol wedi arwain at rywbeth gwirioneddol.
En: The community contributions had led to something genuine.

Cy: Byddai'r prosiect hwn yn sicr o allu bodoli gyda chefnogaeth ymroddedig.
En: This project was certainly bound to succeed with dedicated support.

Cy: Ac felly, fel y newidiodd yr hydref i aeaf, roedd Emrys yn deall bod cydweithio a hamddefer yn hefyd gymaint o gryfder â chyflymder mewn unrhyw springen.
En: And so, as autumn turned to winter, Emrys understood that collaboration and patience were as much a strength as speed in any journey.

Cy: Roedd yn derbyn dysgu, a gwnâi lefel newydd o barch ac ymddiriedaeth gan ei dîm a’i gymuned.

Story Transcript:

Cy: Yn nghanol y parc cenedlaethol Eryri, lle mae natur a'r hud yn cwrdd, roedd glanfa gudd wedi ei hamgylchynu gan lliwiau amrywiol yr hydref.
En: In the middle of the Parc Cenedlaethol Eryri, where nature and magic meet, there was a hidden landing surrounded by the varied colors of autumn.

Cy: Mae'r awyr yn llwyd golau, ac mae awel oer yn dod ag addewid o'r gaeaf.
En: The sky was a light gray, and a cold breeze brought a promise of winter.

Cy: Roedd Gwilym, botanegydd penderfynol mewn chwilio am ffrwyth ei lafur, wedi clywed sïon am flodyn prin a blodeuai unwaith yn unig ym mis Tachwedd.
En: Gwilym, a determined botanist seeking the fruit of his labor, had heard rumors of a rare flower that would bloom only once in November.

Cy: Mae hyn yn ei symbylu i ymgymryd â’r daith hon, gyda Mared, ei ffrind plentyndod gafaelgar, a’i chwaer Eirwen dawel ond cefnogol yn ei gwmni.
En: This inspired him to undertake this journey, accompanied by Mared, his tenacious childhood friend, and his quiet but supportive sister Eirwen.

Cy: Wrth i'r tri lywio trwy'r coed trwchus, roedd Gwilym yn llawn brwdfrydedd.
En: As the three of them navigated through the dense woods, Gwilym was full of enthusiasm.

Cy: Roedd yn dyheu am ddod o hyd i'r blodyn, a oedd yn cael ei ystyried yn gwyrthiol ac yn aros i fod yn gyflawniad mawreddog yn y gymuned fatanaidd.
En: He was eager to find the flower, which was considered miraculous and awaited to be a great achievement in the botanic community.

Cy: Yn ei galon, roedd yn gweld tocynnau glod iddo ef ei hun.
En: In his heart, he envisioned tokens of praise for himself.

Cy: Ar yr un pryd, roedd Mared wrth ei bodd gyda'r antur a'r digonedd o ddiweddglo posibl.
En: At the same time, Mared was thrilled with the adventure and the abundance of possible outcomes.

Cy: Ond roedd Eirwen yn cysgodu pryder am adfeiliedig natur y dietifibran.
En: But Eirwen harbored concerns about the transient nature of the endeavor.

Cy: Roedd hi’n ei gweld hi’n lleddf i’r gwir y gallai bygythiad o ddinistr newid popeth.
En: She found it hard to accept the truth that the threat of destruction could change everything.

Cy: Roedd hi’n ofni, pe bai’r blodyn yn dod yn hysbys, y byddai ei ddiogelwch yn cael ei beryglu.
En: She feared that if the flower became known, its safety would be jeopardized.

Cy: Roedd yn ei arosg am ei chlodfawrogiad ei hun dros diffyg meddylgarwch Gwilym.
En: She awaited her own appreciation over Gwilym's thoughtlessness.

Cy: Trwy'r dirgelwch ir, arhosodd y griw amrywiol i'r glanfa hudol, a dyna lle gwelsant y blodyn.
En: Through the lush mystery, the diverse group reached the magical landing, and there they saw the flower.

Cy: Ar ochr y bont mân, roedd yn llathred lluosflawn golwg.
En: Beside the slender bridge, it gleamed with a multitude of vibrant hues.

Cy: Mewn eiliad o dawelwch sanctaidd, roedd stondin naturiol Gwilym yn ymgynnull o flaen y blodyn.
En: In a moment of sacred silence, Gwilym's natural stature gathered before the flower.

Cy: Fodd bynnag, cyn i Gwilym wasgu'r sbesimen prin, dechreuodd y gwyntau gyflymu fel rhu barn.
En: However, before Gwilym could press the rare specimen, the winds began to speed up, like the roar of judgment.

Cy: Daeth oerfel ystorm hydref tua hwynt yn sydyn, gan eilio oera'r aer ac aros am yr hyn a'mrws i ddod.
En: The cold of an autumn storm came upon them suddenly, chilling the air and waiting for the inevitable to unfold.

Cy: Yn y fan honno, edrychodd Gwilym i lygad Eirwen.
En: In that instant, Gwilym looked into Eirwen's eyes.

Cy: Gwelodd yn ei golwg Gymraeg plaen, gwerth mwy: natur lawn ein tystiolaeth.
En: He saw in her plain Cymraeg expression, a greater truth: a full understanding of our witness to nature.

Cy: Heb uniaethu na siarad mwy, deallodd y diffyg trechwng a rhaid iddo adael y blodyn yn ddiarwybod a diogelu.
En: Without identifying or speaking further, he understood the lack of victory and knew he must leave the flower untouched and safeguard it.

Cy: Nodwedd garu Eirwen ar gyfer surio'r hirfelyn sy'n ei leoli.
En: Eirwen's loving nature guided the remorseful brother to his revelation.

Cy: Eiriodd y storm, a chafodd y trio'r her o ddychwelyd gartref.
En: The storm subsided, and the trio faced the challenge of returning home.

Cy: Wrth iddynt gyfeirio'n araf tuag adre, arhosodd cysylltiad newydd rhwng y chwaer a’r brawd haeriol yma’i bod.
En: As they slowly headed back, a new connection formed between sister and defiant brother.

Cy: Wedi i’r tywydd cuddio allan, gwybodaeth weithredol y pedol roedd arwyddocâd newydd o rwystro iddynt.
En: Once the weather cleared, there was an operational awareness of the horseshoe's new significance to them.

Cy: Gwelai Gwilym yn awron, ba oedd i ddysgu, bod rhai pethau'n haul yn eu hoes ymroi—yn well ar gyflawniad unigol na chlod.
En: Gwilym now saw, what was to be learned, that some things shine in their self-sacrifice—better as personal achievement than praise.

Cy: Yn y diwedd, roedd y blodyn yna o hyd, ar ddiethriad, a ddyfynner dan loches, a’r cariad ffyrnig i’w waed.
En: In the end, the flower remained there, undisturbed, under its shelter, with fierce love in its veins.
