Story Transcript:

Cy: Wrth droedio i'r maes hyfforddi ger Parc Cenedlaethol Eryri, roedd hud bywyd yn disgleirio yn nhlysni'r gwanwyn.
En: As she walked to the training field near Parc Cenedlaethol Eryri, the magic of life sparkled in the beauty of spring.

Cy: Roedd llain o fannau blodau gwyllt yn teiddu'r tir, a gwynt ysgafn yn dwyn sŵn'r gloch yr hyfforddwyr o bell.
En: A strip of wildflower patches adorned the ground, and a gentle wind carried the distant sound of the coaches' whistle.

Cy: Merêd, chwaraewr rygbi penderfynol, oedd y cyntaf i gyrraedd, ei chalon yn curo gydag anticipiad a gofid.
En: Merêd, a determined rugby player, was the first to arrive, her heart beating with anticipation and anxiety.

Cy: Penderfynodd Merêd aros yn ôl ar ôl ysgol i ymarfer, ond wrth iddi redeg girosto, roedd yn teimlo pwysau'r llyfrau ysgol yn ei bag ar ei chefn.
En: Merêd decided to stay after school to practice, but as she sprinted, she felt the weight of school books in her backpack on her back.

Cy: Roedd yn gwybod y byddai'n rhaid iddi astudio'n hwyrach.
En: She knew she would have to study later.

Cy: Roedd hi'n anelu at sicrhau ei lle yn nhîm cychwyn y twrnamaint rhanbarthol, ond hefyd roedd yr arholiadau ysgol yn agosáu, a'r ddau yn fyd arall o bwysau.
En: She was aiming to secure her place in the starting team for the regional tournament, but school exams were also approaching, both worlds full of pressure.

Cy: Dechreuodd yr hyfforddiant pan gyrhaeddodd Gareth a Rhys.
En: The training began when Gareth and Rhys arrived.

Cy: Gareth, gyda'i orffwysaeth a'i feddwl tawel, oedd cefnogaeth fawr i Merêd.
En: Gareth, with his patience and calm mind, was a great support to Merêd.

Cy: Rhys, yn gadarn a phwerus, gynyddai'r ymgyrch, yn enwedig wrth iddynt baratoi ar gyfer y gêm hanfodol.
En: Rhys, strong and powerful, intensified the campaign, especially as they prepared for the crucial match.

Cy: "Rhaid inni ennill hyn," meddai Rhys yn gryf a thraddodiadol.
En: "We need to win this," Rhys said firmly and traditionally.

Cy: "Rydyn ni angen gwblhau fel tîm.
En: "We need to complete as a team."

Cy: "Roedd Merêd yn siarad â Gareth rhwng esgusodion chwarae.
En: Merêd spoke to Gareth between practice plays.

Cy: "Rwy'n teimlo fy mod yn colli'r ddau beth, ysgol a rygbi," torrodd hi draw.
En: "I feel like I'm losing both things, school and rugby," she interrupted.

Cy: "Dwi ddim yn gwybod os gallaf gyflawni o dan yr holl bwysau yma.
En: "I don't know if I can perform under all this pressure."

Cy: "Gwenodd Gareth yn garedig.
En: Gareth smiled kindly.

Cy: "Rydyn ni'n gwneud hyn gyda'n gilydd, Merêd.
En: "We're doing this together, Merêd.

Cy: Y peth pwysicaf yw i beidio â gorfeddwl.
En: The most important thing is not to overthink."

Cy: "Yn ystod y gêm ymarfer, aeth Merêd i ben gydag ymrwymiad llwyr.
En: During practice, Merêd went full throttle with total commitment.

Cy: Law yn llaw gyda'i chyd-chwaraewyr, llwyddodd i arwain ei thîm heibio'r gwrthwynebydd mwyaf heriol.
En: Hand in hand with her teammates, she managed to lead her team past the most challenging opponent.

Cy: Roedd ei harweinyddiaeth yn gyfan gwbl cynhwysol, a phob gân a chri yn cael ei ateb â phwer a chydlyniad.
En: Her leadership was entirely inclusive, and every song and shout was answered with power and cohesion.

Cy: Wedi'r gêm, gyda'r hwyliedig yn berchi a'r clinig wedi'i gwblhau, eisteddodd Merêd gyda'i thîm.
En: After the game, with the thrill still strong and training completed, Merêd sat with her team.

Cy: Penderfynodd newid ei dull, gan gytuno i greu amserlen fwy cytbwys.
En: She decided to change her approach, agreeing to create a more balanced schedule.

Cy: Ni fu'n haws ond roedd Merêd yn ymhyfrydu yn nadlu rhodd o amser yn gywir ac astudio a chwarae gyda llawnder.
En: It wasn't easy, but Merêd relished the gift of managing her time effectively, studying, and playing wholeheartedly.

Cy: Yn ddiwedd y diwrnod, ymestynnodd Merêd ei phoer yn y gwynt oerodd.
En: At the end of the day, Merêd stretched her spirit into the cool breeze.

Cy: Dysgodd werth y gofyniad am gymorth ac addasiad amser, yn credu nawr y gall sefydlu gyfuno ei breuddwydion a'i gobeithion heb eu llethu.
En: She learned the value of seeking help and adjusting time, now believing she could merge her dreams and hopes without being overwhelmed.

Cy: Dros amser, llwyddodd Merêd i gyflawni ei lle yn y tîm cychwyn a hefyd ystod dda yn yr arholiadau.
En: Over time, Merêd succeeded in securing her place in the starting team and also performed well in her exams.

Cy: Roedd hi wedi bod yn cam bach tuag at fawredd, ond roedd y wybodaeth yn ei gydbwyso.
En: It had been a small step towards greatness, but the knowledge balanced her.

Cy: Roedd y mynyddoedd yn gorchuddio'r llain hyfforddi gyda'u cynnig parhaol i ddysgu.
En: The mountains covered the training field with their enduring offer to teach.

Story Transcript:

Cy: Wrth i'r haul godi'n araf dros Eryri, cynnau'r awyr gydag oren a phinc, cerddodd Llew ar hyd llwybr serth yng Nghoedwig Beddgelert.
En: As the sun slowly rose over Eryri, lighting up the sky with orange and pink, Llew walked along a steep path in Coedwig Beddgelert.

Cy: Roedd awel ysgafn yn llifo drwy'r coed a soniarus clust i'w newydd ei glywed.
En: A gentle breeze was flowing through the trees, serenading a new listener.

Cy: Ar ôl diwedd perthynas hir, roedd Llew yn chwilio am dawelwch ac ysbrydoliaeth ym mynyddoedd y parc.
En: After the end of a long relationship, Llew was searching for peace and inspiration in the mountains of the park.

Cy: Ei ffrind, Caradoc, oedd ag awgrymodd y daith gerdded, gan ddychmygu byddai rhywle mor brydferth yn cynnig cysur i'w feddwl.
En: His friend, Caradoc, had suggested the hiking trip, imagining that such a beautiful place would offer comfort to his mind.

Cy: Wrth i Llew nesatu'r copa, sylwodd ar wraig ifanc yn tynnu lluniau.
En: As Llew approached the summit, he noticed a young woman taking pictures.

Cy: Roedd hi fel petai pum troedfedd amser ac ôl-traed dwy anadl o'r clwydi, a golygai hynny y byddai wedi ei chlywed.
En: She seemed to be five feet of time and two breaths of footsteps from the hedges, which meant that he would have heard her.

Cy: Roedd am daflu cyhoedd i'w chymwysterau ar gyfer arddangosfa, a theimlai allu Diwwyliaddu bywiog pob man hyfryd o amgylch y parc.
En: She wanted to toss her qualifications towards an exhibition and felt she could "Diwwyliaddu" every lovely spot around the park.

Cy: Roedd hynny'n hwylus.
En: That was convenient.

Cy: "Hi," meddyliodd Llew yn dawel.
En: "Hi," Llew thought silently.

Cy: Roedd ei lygaid ar y pridd ond ei stori lay'n ochr a llaw.
En: His eyes were on the ground, but his story lay side by side with his hand.

Cy: Roedd y ferch heb ei darllen.
En: The girl hadn't read it.

Cy: "Shw'mae," atebodd hithau, ei choc yn serchus.
En: "Shw'mae," she replied kindly.

Cy: "Rydw i'n Rhiannon. Rwy'n tynnu lluniau'r parc ar gyfer prosiect."
En: "I'm Rhiannon. I'm taking pictures of the park for a project."

Cy: Gan crwydro 'mlaen, siaradodd Llew a Rhiannon am y caeau o flodau gwyllt a'r adar oedd yn canu'n awchus wrth iddynt gerdded.
En: As they wandered on, Llew and Rhiannon talked about the fields of wildflowers and the birds singing enthusiastically as they walked.

Cy: Roedd y ddau'n siarad a gwrandaw hyd nes cyrhaeddwyd golygfan oedd mor brydferth byth a hefyd.
En: They spoke and listened until they reached a viewpoint as beautiful as ever.

Cy: Serch hynny, roedd Llew yn dal i deimlo pechod yn ei galon.
En: Nevertheless, Llew still felt sin in his heart.

Cy: Fe methu oedd agor ei hun i bosibiliadau newydd.
En: He struggled to open himself up to new possibilities.

Cy: Roedd Rhiannon yn teimlo ychydig yn debyg; roedd hi'n deall bod gweithio yn bwysig, ond roedd bod ar ben ei hun yn boenus weithiau.
En: Rhiannon felt somewhat similar; she understood that working was important, but being alone was sometimes painful.

Cy: Ar y drydydd diwrnod, tra oeddwn ar daith arall, cododd cymylau trwm dros y top.
En: On the third day, while on another hike, heavy clouds gathered overhead.

Cy: Gachredodd y glaw yn gyflym, ac roedd rhaid iddynt redeg i geisio lloches yn gyflym.
En: The rain rushed in quickly, and they had to run to seek shelter swiftly.

Cy: Cwympon ni glogwyn fechan a glanhau dan gab gaban coed.
En: They found refuge under a small wooden cabin.

Cy: "Rwy'n gadael i adael popeth i fyny," meddai Llew, gan edrych yn syth i lygaid Rhiannon.
En: "I'm leaving everything up," Llew said, looking straight into Rhiannon's eyes.

Cy: "Ond, mae'r dynoliaeth, fel golau haul ar ddiwrnod gwanwyn, yn dod trwy fyw."
En: "But humanity, like the sunshine on a spring day, comes through living."

Cy: "Rwy'n deall hynny," atebodd Rhiannon, teimlo ei thraed yn ymestyn ar hyd llawr pren y caban.
En: "I understand that," Rhiannon replied, feeling her feet stretch along the wooden floor of the cabin.

Cy: Roeddent yn parhau i siarad, am eu hofnau a'u gobeithion.
En: They continued to talk about their fears and hopes.

Cy: Wrth fynydd defyn nhw atyb e'n para maes mae; roedd y cysylltiad yn gryf, grisial â facwentynol trwy sgwrs sy'n llifau ac yn gatu gwaredu diodyb.
En: As the mountain defined their purpose, the connection was strong, crystalline, and vibrant through flowing conversation that offered unexpected clarity.

Cy: Gweddillion diwrnod cyntaf dod â nhw i Safle'r Ganolfan Ystradfawr.
En: The remains of the first day brought them to Safle'r Ganolfan Ystradfawr.

Cy: Lleasant fudd-personigâd Llew a Rhiannon wedi dylanwadu ar y mynediad at anghyfrifol-gestyr agor hyfryd dwr brith, agor amryw newyddiau a syniadau newydd prosiect Rhiannon, cynhyrchodd hi ei syniadau yma â'i arddgynolaeth.
En: The personal impact of Llew and Rhiannon had influenced their access to an irresponsibly-gestured release of splendid water, opening new finds and new project ideas for Rhiannon, creating ideas here with her artistry.

Cy: Pan ddychwelsant i lawr i waelod y mynydd, roedd Llew a Rhiannon yn cadw llygad i lygad, teimlad ynddo ac y mae mwy na thebyg y ffordd yr oeddent am yn meddwl y dyfarnhen ar y chwalfa.
En: As they descended back to the base of the mountain, Llew and Rhiannon kept eye contact, feeling there was more than likely a way they intended to decide on the breaking moment.

Cy: Daeth i ben i gwrdd â gobaith, awydd am foddhad newydd ac yn hyfyw i weld eu henillau'r un amser arall.
En: It came to an end meeting hope, a desire for new fulfillment and alive to see their winnings another time.

Cy: Rhyddid Llew i edrych ymlaen, a chryfdra Rhiannon i eiliad.
En: Llew's freedom to look forward, and Rhiannon's strength for a moment.

Cy: Roedd realiti Eu byw newyddion, yn hwyrach, i gyfarwerth yl Tahun.
En: The reality of their new lives would later guide them to align together with the year to come.

En: In his mind, he kept hearing, again and again, "Should I now?

Cy: Ai dyma'r amser cywir?
En: Is this the right time?"

Cy: Cafodd Eleri ei wahodd hefyd.
En: Eleri was also invited.

Cy: Roedd hi'n ffrind agos i'r ddau ac wedi addo helpu gyda'r llyfrgell lluniau, heb i Carys wybod am ddim.
En: She was a close friend to both and had promised to help with the photo library, without Carys knowing anything about it.

Cy: Y bore hwnnw, bu glaw trwm yn Portmeirion.
En: That morning, there was heavy rain in Portmeirion.

Cy: Roedd yn wir syndod.
En: It was a real surprise.

Cy: Roedd Gethin yn becso, "A fydd popeth yn cael ei ddinistrio?
En: Gethin was worried, "Will everything be ruined?"

Cy: " Ond pendronodd, oherwydd roedd Carys wrth ei ochr.
En: But he pondered, because Carys was by his side.

Cy: Nid oedd y glaw yn ei darfu hi o gwbl, roedd hi'n hapus i archwilio rhwng y defnynnau.
En: The rain didn't disturb her at all; she was happy to explore between the raindrops.

Cy: Nesa i'r gerddi ffrwythau, lle mae'r blodau'n chwalu'n chwa, daeth amneidiad o heulwen rhwng cymylau.
En: Next to the fruit gardens, where the flowers were blooming brightly, a ray of sunshine appeared between the clouds.

Cy: Gwelodd Gethin ei gyfle.
En: Gethin saw his chance.

Cy: Yna, saethodd Eleri gan gwtshio'r camera.
En: Then, Eleri positioned the camera, ready to capture the moment.

Cy: "Mae gen i rhywbeth i'w ddweud," meddai Gethin, ychydig yn ofnus ond yn benderfynol.
En: "I have something to say," said Gethin, a little nervous but determined.

Cy: Safodd wrth ochr y dŵr yn y gerddi.
En: He stood by the water in the gardens.

Cy: Carys troi ei phen.
En: Carys turned her head.

Cy: Roedd ei llygaid yn llachar ac yn chwilfrydig.

En: he asked, his voice filling the atmosphere.

Cy: Aeth Carys yn fud am ennyd, ei llygaid yn lled agored.
En: Carys went silent for a moment, her eyes wide open.

Cy: Yna, gwelodd llygedyn o lawenydd yn ei llygaid, a dŵad â chwerthin.
En: Then, he saw a glimmer of joy in her eyes, followed by laughter.

Cy: "Wrth gwrs!
En: "Of course!"

Cy: " rhialtodd.
En: she exclaimed.

Cy: Fe fachhedd ei fraich o amgylch ei wddf.
En: She wrapped her arm around his neck.

Cy: Roedd y glaw wedi stopio am y tro hwnnw, a Portmeirion yn edrych hyd yn oed yn fwy hudol.
En: The rain had stopped for that moment, and Portmeirion looked even more magical.

Cy: Eleri, sydd wedi dal y foment, yn cofnodi'r amser anarferol hwn.
En: Eleri, who had captured the moment, recorded this extraordinary time.

Cy: Gethin gwnaeth ddeall wedyn, nad oedd cywirdeb neu gynlluniadau yn bwysig.
En: Gethin then realized that precision or plans were not important.

Cy: Roedd y teimlad, y f'annwyl â'r foment, yn gwneud y trywydd yn berffaith.
En: It was the feeling, the love and the moment, that made the journey perfect.

Cy: Roedd y gwanwyn wedi dod gyda newid a chariad newydd.
En: Spring had come with change and new love.

Cy: Roedd y tri ohonynt yn cylchdroi'n dal y lluniau a rhannu hwyl, wrth i Portmeirion syfrdanu yn ei alaw lliwgar, gan gofio'r diwrnod arbennig hwnnw o gwanwyn.

Story Transcript:

Cy: Yn nhawliau tebyg i gofebion sy’n pylu ar ben bryn, gorwedd Castell Dinas Brân mewn dirgelwch ac ymdeimlad o ddirgelwch diddiwedd.
En: Like monuments that fade at the top of a hill, Castell Dinas Brân lies in mystery and a sense of endless secrecy.

Cy: Roedd basteg moment yn sefydlogi’r awyr feddal o gwmpas y sarn sy’n disgyn i’r dyffryn, lle nad yw na’r dail blinedig na’r cerrig mudiadwy yn tarfu ar degan y wybodaeth.
En: A momentary silence settled the soft air around the path that descends into the valley, where neither the weary leaves nor the shifting stones disturb the tranquility of knowledge.

Cy: Y prynhawn hwnnw, o dan fflachiadau'r haul gwanwyn, cuddiodd Gwilym ei ben yng ngweithrediad cloddio.
En: That afternoon, under the flashes of the spring sun, Gwilym buried his head in the excavation activity.

Cy: Roedd ei olwg yn drwm â gobeithion uchel a phwysau amser.
En: His gaze was heavy with high hopes and the weight of time.

Cy: Gwilym, archaeolegydd go garw ond cariadus, oedd eisiau profiad y theori dadleuol a gafodd gan ei athro diweddar: bod Castell Dinas Brân yn safle o ddefodau derwyddol.
En: Gwilym, a rough yet loving archaeologist, wanted to experience the controversial theory provided by his late teacher: that Castell Dinas Brân was a site of Druidic rituals.

Cy: Ar gopa'r safle y mae ei gymheiriaid yn rhigol, mae Aeron a Meleri yn gweithio ochr yn ochr ag ef.
En: At the peak of the site where his companions were digging, Aeron and Meleri worked alongside him.

Cy: Meleri, gyda’i llygaid praff a'i lleisyn tawel, oedd yn amheus am ymgais hwyrach Gwilym.
En: Meleri, with her keen eyes and quiet voice, was skeptical about Gwilym's late endeavor.

Cy: “Mae angen gofal, Gwilym,” rhybuddiodd hi, “ac amser ar ben hyn oll.”
En: “Care is needed, Gwilym,” she warned, “and time on top of all this.”

Cy: Fodd bynnag, roedd Gwilym eisoes wedi gwneud ei benderfyniad.
En: However, Gwilym had already made his decision.

Cy: Rhywbeth yn y ffordd roedd golau’r haul yn crybwyll ar geiriau'r ymchwil hen a’i tynodd i dyllioni mwy nag a ganiatawyd.
En: Something in the way the sunlight hinted at the words of ancient research drew him to dig deeper than was allowed.

Cy: Dan noson las, cymerodd arfau agored ac aeth yn ddyfnach.
En: Underneath a blue night, he took open tools and went deeper.

Cy: Wrth iddo dyngu drwy’r llwydni a’r mwsogl, cyrhaeddodd Cerrig cain.
En: As he swore through the grayness and moss, he reached fine stones.

Cy: Roedd yn greadigol ei siap, gyda chymarweithau a thaw yno oedd amser wedi'u claddu o dan wôs ein dyddiau.
En: They were creatively shaped, with patterns and silence where time had buried them under the noise of our days.

Cy: Cafodd Gwilym y teimlad hwnnw trwy gadarnhau fflachiadau eglur o simbolau derwyddol.
En: Gwilym had that feeling confirmed by clear flashes of Druidic symbols.

Cy: Wrth iddo garthu’r cerrig, cychwynnodd y storm.
En: As he unearthed the stones, the storm began.

Cy: Gorffwysodd y gwynt yn glaw taranau uwch y castell.
En: The wind settled into a thunderous rain above the castle.

Cy: Dŵr yn llithro drwy’r breuddwyddio a chamau hanner di-ddefnydd oedd ar y tir diffrwyth hynafol.
En: Water slipped through the dreaming and the half-useless steps of this ancient barren land.

Cy: Roedd y tablet wedi gwlychu, rhydd o gwmpas ei egni.
En: The tablet was soaked, free within its energy.

Cy: Ond mae Gwilym yn gadarn.
En: But Gwilym was steadfast.

Cy: Gyda’i dwylo'n cryfhau a'i galon yn codi, rhoddodd ei hun wrth wraidd y pryder a pholoi'r darganfyddiad yn gyflymach.
En: With strengthening hands and a rising heart, he placed himself at the root of anxiety and polished the discovery faster.

Cy: Pan oedd y glaw yn peidio wrth lewyrch cyntaf y wawr, roedd cerflun cerrig yn ei ddwylo—heb niwed.
En: When the rain ceased at the first gleam of dawn, a stone carving was in his hands—unharmed.

Cy: Wrth i'r storm dawelu, ymunodd Meleri ac Aeron gyda Gwilym, y tablet ddoeth yn eu dwylo.
En: As the storm quieted, Meleri and Aeron joined Gwilym, the wise tablet in their hands.

Cy: Roedd tystiolaeth wedi'i thynnu allan o'r tir marwaidd wedi newid hamdden a phryder i llwyddiant a gobaith newydd.
En: Evidence pulled from the desolate land had transformed leisure and worry into success and new hope.

Cy: Deffrodd Gwilym y bore nesaf gyda’r hunanfwyaf hyder a hir-gwmwl gwybod pwy oedd ef teulu i athrylu ei athro.
En: Gwilym awoke the next morning with utmost confidence and a long-awaited understanding of who he was family to astonish his teacher.

Cy: Roedd y daith wedi ei wneud iddo deimlo agosach at y castell, a chloddi o berthynas newydd â’r hanes a’r gymuned wrth ei ochr.
En: The journey had made him feel closer to the castle and had carved a new relationship with the history and the community by his side.

Cy: Roedd hyn yn ddechreuad newydd, nid dim ond iddo fe ond i bawb a falle yn dal dau ddwy'i derwyddoedd henafol.
En: This was a new beginning, not just for him but for everyone who might once have held the ancient Druids' secrets.

Cy: Roedd y pistyllau gwynt yn sicr o fod cychod yr ardal yn symud yn gyson.
En: The gusty winds ensured the area's boats moved constantly.

Cy: Ar un diwrnod heulog, cerddodd Eira ar hyd trac cerrig gyda’i ffrind Carys.
En: On one sunny day, Eira walked along a stone path with her friend Carys.

Cy: Roedd y ddwy yn mwynhau awel y gwanwyn a'r blodau gwyllt yn blodeuo o’u cwmpas.
En: They both enjoyed the spring breeze and the wildflowers blooming around them.

Cy: Yn sydyn, gyda sŵn clattery, rhywbeth ar y traeth sy'n tynnu sylw Eira.
En: Suddenly, with a clattering sound, something on the beach caught Eira's attention.

Cy: Mae potel jâc wedi'i fflysio i'r lan ynghyd â’r llanw.
En: A washed-up bottle had been flushed onto the shore with the tide.

Cy: Agorodd Eira'r botel a chanfod llythyr hen, ei bapur yn feddal a'i inciau'n pylu ond yn dal i fod heb ei ddarllen.
En: Eira opened the bottle and found an old letter, its paper soft and its ink fading but still unread.

Cy: "Beth wyt ti'n ei wneud, Eira?" gofynnodd Carys yn amheus, wrth weld ei ffrind yn ysgwyd y botel dryloyw.
En: "What are you doing, Eira?" asked Carys suspiciously, watching her friend shake the transparent bottle.

Cy: "Efallai bod stori y tu ôl i hyn," atebodd Eira, yn llawn dirybudd.
En: "There might be a story behind this," replied Eira, full of curiosity.

Cy: "Gallwn ddod o hyd i wirionedd rhywbeth... anghyffredin."
En: "We might discover the truth of something... unusual."

Cy: Cymerodd Carys ysgytwad.
En: Carys shivered at the thought.

Cy: "Mae'n debyg nad oes dim ond hen straeon celwyddog mewn llythyrau fel hyn."
En: "There's probably nothing but old, false stories in letters like this."

Cy: Ond roedd Eira'n benderfynol.
En: But Eira was determined.

Cy: "Dychmyga, Carys! Efallai bod rhywbeth pwysig yma."
En: "Imagine, Carys! There may be something important here."

Cy: Dechreuodd y merched ddarllen y llythyr.
En: The girls began reading the letter.

Cy: Roedd yn cynnwys disgrifiad o gariad a cholled, yn son am gwrteisi oedrannau a llongau’n groesi'r môr.
En: It contained a description of love and loss, speaking of timeless courtesies and ships crossing the sea.

Cy: Roedd dalen-wydda yn sôn am "Dafydd," enw prydferth – y cywilydd oedd yn cuddio yng ngwlad Bae Cemaes.
En: A last page mentioned "Dafydd," a beautiful name—the shame hidden within the realms of Bae Cemaes.

Cy: Roedd Eira'n meddwl i fil, ond roedd rhywbeth gwybyddus am y lliain ymroddedig a sôn am atgof teulu.
En: Eira thought deeply, but something was familiar about the dedicated cloth and mentions of family memory.

Cy: Trannoeth, aeth y ddwy i weld Dafydd, pysgotwr cyfrinachol a hystwyth y pentref.
En: The next day, the two visited Dafydd, a secretive and agile fisherman of the village.

Cy: Roedd ei ddillad yn llawn nodau môr.
En: His clothes were full of maritime markings.

Cy: Yno, ar ben y cei carreg, aeth Eira ato, ei ffrind yn araf gan gwthio ei wrth gyferbyniaeth.
En: There, at the end of the stone quay, Eira approached him, her friend slowly following while hesitating.

Cy: "Dafydd, wyt ti'n adnabod y llythyr hyn?" gofynnodd Eira wrth iddo agor gwenogiaid ar ei wyneb.
En: "Dafydd, do you recognize this letter?" asked Eira as he held a playful look on his face.

Cy: Ond roedd ofn yn gwenwyno lleidr Eira, yn ysbrydoledd y llythyr a'i wraidd.
En: But fear clouded Eira's vision, inspired by the letter and its core.

Cy: "Mae'n hen hanes," atebodd Dafydd, gan osgoi ei lygaid.
En: "It’s an old story," answered Dafydd, avoiding eye contact.

Cy: "Mae'n droell yn y môr, dyna yw e."
En: "It's just a twist of the sea, that's what it is."

Cy: "Ond mae'n gysylltiedig â'r pentref," parhau Eira'n daeri.
En: "But it’s connected to the village," Eira persisted.

Cy: "Rhaid i ni wybod y gwir."
En: "We need to know the truth."

Cy: Wrth i'r eirin gwyrddres ddisgleirio dros y môr, cynigiodd Dafydd ferch i feddiannu'r hen dŷ pan dywedodd yr hanes.
En: As the greenish plums glistened over the sea, Dafydd offered a chance to occupy the old house when he spoke of the history.

Cy: Roedd stori trist heb ei chyflawni, perfedd wedi amlwg wiwio am resymoldeb.
En: It was an unfinished sad story, a heart painfully yearning for reason.

Cy: Nid o adweithiodd y cydweithrediadau, ond fflamadug y cansgyrs crochan y môr yn cychwynu cynefinoedd llai diamcan.
En: The collaborations didn’t respond, yet the ocean's cauldron flames sparked less aimless habitats.

Cy: Ar ben llinyn cyfaredd, agorodd Dafydd ei galon.
En: On the string of enchantment, Dafydd opened his heart.

Cy: Roedd y llythyr o ganlyniad i gariad colledig, teulu wedi ei dorri, a phenderfyniad modlon.
En: The letter was a result of lost love, a broken family, and a resolute decision.

Cy: Ffurfiwedigodd ei ddyhead ar gyfer ymwared treigla i 'r Maes Gaeaf.
En: His desire formed for release, journeying to ’r Maes Gaeaf.

Cy: Bu Eira a Carys yno ar lan y môr, dechrau newydd.
En: Eira and Carys remained there by the sea, a new beginning.

Cy: Nid oedd y llythyr yn gyfrinach nawr; roedd y pentref ynglŷn â'r hanes a'r dull o ddod o hyd i'r gwirionedd a'r heddiwed â'u hysbryd yn olch.
En: The letter was no longer a secret; the village embraced the tale and the way to discover the truth and reconcile their spirits.

Cy: Trwy'r broses honno, deallodd Eira pa mor llawer o werth oedd mewn ocsidiad a dewrder cyflawni.
En: Through this process, Eira understood the immense value of persistence and courage.

Cy: Adeiladodd ei chysylltiad â'i phreswyl ganed.
En: She built her connection with her birth community.

Cy: Roedd hi'n llawn setlo, yn ŵyr am ei chymuned a'i heuaeth, wedi ei barhau.
En: She was settled, aware of her community and her place within it, and it continued on.
