    Story Transcript:

    Cy: Roedd awel arogli coffi yn llenwi'r rostir yng Nghaerdydd.
    En: A breeze smelling of coffee filled the rostir in Caerdydd.

    Cy: Roedd yn amser prysur, fel bob amser, gyda'r ystaff ymlaen ag addurno'r safle ar gyfer Calan Gaeaf.
    En: It was a busy time, as always, with the staff forward in decorating the site for Calan Gaeaf.

    Cy: Emrys ac Carys, brawd a chwaer, oedd wedi gweithio yno dros y blynyddoedd ers diwedd eu tad.
    En: Emrys and Carys, brother and sister, had worked there over the years since the end of their father.

    Cy: Ond heddiw, roedd rhywbeth anarferol wedi digwydd.
    En: But today, something unusual had happened.

    Cy: Yn y bore, wrth i Emrys glirio blwch llyfrau hen a erledig o'r oriel ieuengaf, cafodd lythyrau wedi’u lapio mewn rhuban o liw gwin cyfoethog.
    En: In the morning, as Emrys cleared a box of old and hunted books from the youngest gallery, he found letters wrapped in a ribbon of rich wine color.

    Cy: "Carys, edrych ar hwn!" ebe Emrys, ei lais yn ysgytiog rhwng sioc a chwilfrydedd.
    En: "Carys, look at this!" said Emrys, his voice shaky between shock and curiosity.

    Cy: Daeth Carys ymlaen, ei llygaid yn ymestyn.
    En: Carys came forward, her eyes widening.

    Cy: "Llythyrau? O ble?" Ei dannedd yn fflachio mewn gwên frwdfrydig.
    En: "Letters? From where?" Her teeth flashed in an enthusiastic grin.

    Cy: "Mae'n siŵr bod marciau arnynt... Mmm, edrych!"
    En: "There must be marks on them... Mmm, look!"

    Cy: Roedd y llythyrau wedi'u hysgrifennu mewn llaw ysgrifen dirgel, yn trafod dirwriaethau teuluol ac anturiaethau a oedd yn ymddangos yn anghyfarwydd iddynt.
    En: The letters were written in a mysterious handwriting, discussing family intricacies and adventures that seemed unfamiliar to them.

    Cy: Emrys, priod â rhesymeg crafog, ysgwyd ei ben.
    En: Emrys, married to razor-sharp logic, shook his head.

    Cy: "Mae'n rhaid bod hen straeon ydy'r rhain."
    En: "These must be old stories."

    Cy: Ond roedd Carys, nug enaid wiwer, yn fentro i'r dirgelion hynny, ymestyn llaw i annog ei brawd.
    En: But Carys, a squirrel's soul, ventured into those mysteries, reaching out to urge her brother.

    Cy: "Emrys, dyma ein cyfle! Bydd hyn yn datgloi ein gorffennol."
    En: "Emrys, this is our chance! This will unlock our past."

    Cy: Roedd Emrys yn amheus.
    En: Emrys was skeptical.

    Cy: "Beth os yw hyn yn cyflwyno trafferthion newydd? Mae ein bywydau'n iawn fel ag y maen nhw."
    En: "What if this brings new troubles? Our lives are okay as they are."

    Cy: Daeth yr otsiad dyddiau lawer o siwrne heb fentro cesail Emrys ymlaen, ond diddordeb a dyfalbarhad Carys yn ennill.
    En: The urging of many days of untouched journeys did not venture beyond Emrys's protective arm, but Carys's interest and perseverance won out.

    Cy: Fe wnaethant ddechrau tynnu rhanau o leinau dirgel a allai arwain at leoliad hudol.
    En: They began to draw parts of mysterious threads that could lead to an enchanting location.

    Cy: "Llythrennol dyn ni dal yn atgofion plentyndod," meddai Emrys, yn plygeinio i'r antur sydd leiafrifol.
    En: "Literal leftovers of our childhood," said Emrys, reluctant to delve into the adventurous minority.

    Cy: Un prynhawn, wrth iddi wawrio dros Gaeaf, fe ddechreuon nhw fynd i fan oedd yn gysylltiedig â’u hatgofion plentyndod.
    En: One afternoon, as it dawned over Winter, they began to go to a place linked to their childhood memories.

    Cy: Lle maes chwarae unig a hen adeilad i blant oedd yno.
    En: A solitary playground and an old building for children were there.

    Cy: Ond yn ei hanes cudd, roedd cyfrinach.
    En: But in its hidden history, there was a secret.

    Cy: Roeddent yn disgwyl, amneidio calonog, a gweld a oedd gadael neu fynd heibio i'r dim.
    En: They waited, nodding heartened, to see whether they would leave or pass by the nothingness.

    Cy: Fe gurodd eu calonnau'n gyflym.
    En: Their hearts beat quickly.

    Cy: Yr hyn gawsant oedd trysor heb ei gydnabod.
    En: What they found was an unrecognized treasure.

    Cy: Absenoldeb athrylith neu dealltwriaeth o bwrpas gwych, ond deallasant y cysylltiad oedd wedi creu â'u tad nawr wedi esgus y cyffiniau llechu.
    En: The absence of genius or understanding for a great purpose, but they understood the connection that had been created with their father now, disguising the lurking outskirts.

    Cy: Fel Emrys a Carys yn sefyll y tu hwnt i'r waliau distaw, roeddent yn darganfod dealltwriaeth newydd o'u teulu, tawelwch newydd o undod.
    En: As Emrys and Carys stood beyond the silent walls, they discovered a new understanding of their family, a new peace of unity.

    Cy: Pan cerddwyd o'r safle, Emrys am y tro cyntaf yn sylweddoli mawreddi'r anhysbys.
    En: When they walked away from the site, Emrys for the first time realized the majesty of the unknown.

    Cy: A chyda chryfder newydd, eisteddodd ei sorod arno fo a dywedodd, "Rydw i'n falch ein bod yn mentro, Carys."
    En: And with new strength, his sister sat beside him and said, "I'm glad we ventured, Carys."

    Cy: Roedd y cyfan yn cynnig cudd-wybodaeth ar eu dynoliaeth, a dyna oedd dechrau'n wir o gyfrinachau eraill i ddod.
    En: It all offered hidden wisdom on their humanity, and that was truly the beginning of other secrets to come.

    Story Transcript:

    Cy: Yn nhref brysur Caerdydd, roedd rostir coffi cuddiedig gyda golwg cynnes, araf a'r arogl coffi ffres yn y cornel.
    En: In the bustling city of Caerdydd, there was a hidden coffee roaster with a warm, slow vibe and the aroma of fresh coffee in the corner.

    Cy: Roedd ychydig o sinistr yn llenwi'r awyr wrth i'r hydref gau, a'r dail yn chwifio ar hyd y strydoedd.
    En: A bit of eeriness filled the air as autumn closed in, and the leaves fluttered along the streets.

    Cy: Roedd Gethin yn fiarista chwilfrydig.
    En: Gethin was a curious barista.

    Cy: Roedd llygad barcud, a bob amser yn chwilio am rywbeth newydd i'w ddarganfod.
    En: He had a hawk's eye and was always searching for something new to discover.

    Cy: Yn nhywyllwch yr hydref hwn, roedd ei feddwl yn llawn syniadau am nofel cyffrous.
    En: In the darkness of this autumn, his mind was full of ideas for an exciting novel.

    Cy: Un diwrnod roedd yn clywed sŵn rhyfedd yn dod o'r ystafell sydd bob amser wedi bod dan glo.
    En: One day, he heard a strange noise coming from the room that had always been locked.

    Cy: Roedd hyn yn digwydd bob nos, a phob tro, roedd yr ystafell honno'n rhywbeth o dirgelwch.
    En: This happened every night, and each time, that room was something of a mystery.

    Cy: “Pwy sy'n gwneud y sŵn?
    En: "Who is making the noise?"

    Cy: ” gofynnodd Gethin iddo’i hun.
    En: Gethin asked himself.

    Cy: Ond roedd Caradoc, y perchennog, bob amser yn rhybuddio Gethin i gadw draw.
    En: But Caradoc, the owner, always warned Gethin to stay away.

    Cy: “Peidiwch â phoeni am yr ystafell honno,” roedd Caradoc yn dweud.
    En: "Don't worry about that room," Caradoc would say.

    Cy: “Mae'n gyfrinachol iawn.
    En: "It's very confidential."

    Cy: ” Roedd Caradoc yn ddirgel, ac nid oedd yn gadael neb mewn.
    En: Caradoc was mysterious, and he let no one in.

    Cy: Rhian, cyd-fyarista Gethin, oedd y llais rheswm yn y caffi.
    En: Rhian, Gethin's fellow barista, was the voice of reason in the café.

    Cy: “Paid â thrio'n galed, Gethin.
    En: "Don't try too hard, Gethin.

    Cy: Dim ond stori yw e,” roedd Rhian yn annog.
    En: It's just a story," Rhian encouraged.

    Cy: Ond ar noson Calan Gaeaf, roedd penderfyniad Gethin yn gadarn.
    En: But on Halloween night, Gethin's resolve was firm.

    Cy: Roedd yn aros yn dawel wrth i'r caffi gau a chadw yn dawel wrth i'r oriau llithro heibio.
    En: He remained quiet as the café closed and stayed silent as the hours slipped by.

    Cy: Roedd y darluniadau o flodau rhyfedd yn chwalu'r ystafell, gan ddarparu îsbryd honeddfydd ar yr hyn a wynebai o'r diwedd i'w dull ecsentrig go iawn.
    En: The illustrations of strange flowers adorned the room, providing a vibrant spirit to what he eventually faced with his truly eccentric approach.

    Cy: Wrth i'r cloc daro hanner nos, llwyddodd Gethin i'w hysgloi nid yn unig ei weledigaeth o orwedd ar draws y cloi wedi mynd — gydag ychydig o ysgogiad drannoeth i'w ffrind Rhian — ond yna i mewn i ffordd lifflat, ac annisgwyl oedd bai yn berthyn i'w helaeth.
    En: As the clock struck midnight, Gethin managed not only to unlock his vision of sprawling across the lock that had vanished—with a little nudge the next day to his friend Rhian—but then into a smooth and unexpected path belonging to his vast findings.

    Cy: Yr hyn a ddechreuodd fel twyll yn datgelu goleuni hyfryd a gwyntog oedd dilys.
    En: What began as a prank revealed a lovely and breezy light that was genuine.

    Cy: Roedd yn stori nid yn herbyn iddo ef ei hun, ond un beth oedd iddo ddarganfod beth oedd ystyr darganfyddiad gwirion anogaeth.
    En: It was a story not against himself, but rather one where he discovered what the true meaning of discovery and odd encouragement was.

    Cy: Y tu mewn i'r ystafell, roedd Caradoc a Rhian wedi addurno'r cwt gyda golygfa accwstant.
    En: Inside the room, Caradoc and Rhian had decorated the shed with an astonishing scene.

    Cy: Addursyn gyda phrawf y gosodiad a llachar, ffigyrau calan Gaeaf lliol oedd eu bwriad.
    En: Decorated with displays of setup and bright, colorful Halloween figures was their intention.

    Cy: Roeddent wedi paratoi prank ysbrydol i Gethin, herio'r cyfateb hynny wedi ei gyflawni.
    En: They had prepared a spiritual prank for Gethin, challenging the correspondence that had been achieved.

    Cy: Roedd Caradoc a Rhian wedi creu prank arbennig ar gyfer Gethin.
    En: Caradoc and Rhian had created a special prank for Gethin.

    Cy: Roeddent am weld ei adwaith ac gyda'r addurniadau mawr, digwydd diwrnod o hwyl.
    En: They wanted to see his reaction, and with the grand decorations, a day of fun happened.

    Cy: Fe wnaeth y diwrnod hwn agor llygaid Gethin i wneud hynny.
    En: This day opened Gethin's eyes to embrace it.

    Cy: Cawsai ysbrydoliaeth o'r jôc hon, sylweddoli gwerth dychymyg ac ysbryd cymdeithasol.
    En: He drew inspiration from this joke, realizing the value of imagination and social spirit.

    Cy: Roedd yn barod iawn, eto, i ysgrifennu ei nofel gyda safbwynt newydd erbyn diwedd.
    En: He was more than ready to write his novel with a new perspective by the end.

    Cy: Roedd dydd sinistr Calan Gaeaf wedi troi'n ddiwrnod o gyfeillgarwch a ffantasi.
    En: The sinister Halloween day had turned into one of friendship and fantasy.

    Story Transcript:

    Cy: Yn nhirwedd hynotaf Bannau Brycheiniog, lle mae’r awyr yn ymestyn dros y bryniau fel melfed, mae encil ysgrifennu wedi'i guddio mewn cwlwm o liwiau hydrefol.
    En: In the remarkable landscape of the Bannau Brycheiniog, where the sky stretches over the hills like velvet, there is a writing retreat hidden within a knot of autumnal colors.

    Cy: Mae'r dail yn trymio o dan eu coch a'u aur, a'r gwynt yn troi safnau coed yn gerddoriaeth amber.
    En: The leaves shimmer under their red and gold, and the wind turns tree branches into amber music.

    Cy: Yno, ymysg y coed sy’n annog sibrwd ysbrydol, mae Gwilym a Rhiannon wedi casglu i’r gweithdy ysgrifennu.
    En: There, among the trees that encourage spiritual whispers, Gwilym and Rhiannon have gathered for the writing workshop.

    Cy: Gwilym, gyda llyfr nodiadau yn ei law, yn edrych i'r pellter, ei feddwl mor rymus â'r awyr uwch ei ben.
    En: Gwilym, with a notebook in his hand, looks into the distance, his thoughts as powerful as the sky above him.

    Cy: Ond mae rhwystredigaeth yn ei ddal, tomen o amheuon yn llethu’i allu i ysgrifennu.
    En: But frustration holds him back, a heap of doubts overwhelming his ability to write.

    Cy: Mae Rhiannon, ar y llaw arall, yn cerdded gyda'r awdurdod tawel o un sydd wedi honni llwyddiant, ond yn ei galon, mae'r fflam yn pylu, ac mae angen bwyd newydd arni.
    En: Rhiannon, on the other hand, walks with the quiet authority of someone who has claimed success, but in her heart, the flame is fading, and she needs new inspiration.

    Cy: Yng ngolau gwelw’r prynhawn, mae'r ddau'n cwrdd o dan hen dderwen.
    En: In the pale light of the afternoon, the two meet under an ancient oak tree.

    Cy: Rhiannon yn gweld yr ansicrwydd yn llygaid Gwilym a chanfod drych lleferydd ei chyfnod ei hun.
    En: Rhiannon sees the uncertainty in Gwilym's eyes and recognizes the reflection of her own past struggles.

    Cy: Yn ddi-oed, mae'n penderfynu siarad ag ef.
    En: Without hesitation, she decides to speak to him.

    Cy: "Gwilym," meddai, gan dorri'r distawrwydd, "beth sy'n dy rwystro?
    En: "Gwilym," she says, breaking the silence, "what's stopping you?"

    Cy: "Edrych oddi ar y bryniau, mae Gwilym yn cyfaddef, "Mae'n teimlo fel bod fy ngeiriau'n wag.
    En: Looking away from the hills, Gwilym admits, "It feels like my words are empty.

    Cy: Nid oes gennyf unrhyw beth gwerthfawr i'w ddweud.
    En: I have nothing valuable to say."

    Cy: "Rhiannon yn chwerthin yn dawel, "Buaswn i'n dweud yr un peth am fy hun ar adegau.
    En: Rhiannon laughs quietly, "I would say the same about myself at times.

    Cy: Ond mae’r ysgrifennu’n ffordd o ddod o hyd i'r gwerth hwnnw.
    En: But writing is a way of discovering that value."

    Cy: " Gyda'r nos, wrth ymyl y tân gwersyll, maen nhw’n eistedd gyda'i gilydd, lle mae'r gwres yn swatio o’u cwmpas.

    En: Gwilym takes a deep breath, puts his lack of courage aside, and asks for advice.

    Cy: Cyn bo hir, mae'r gair yn trawsnewid o ferthewdra i rannu, ac ysbrydoledd yn dechrau llifo’n naturiol.
    En: Soon, the conversation transforms from frustration to sharing, and inspiration begins to flow naturally.

    Cy: Mae Rhiannon yn agor ei chalon, "Yr ofn yw ddyweddiad sydd gyda phob awdur.
    En: Rhiannon opens her heart, "Fear is a companion with every writer.

    Cy: Roeddwn i hefyd yn poeni fy mod wedi colli fy lleisiau newydd.
    En: I too worried that I had lost my new voices.

    Cy: Ond trwy dy siarad â thi, dwi’n canfod bod ein perthynas ein hunain yn rhes o sioeau diddordeb.
    En: But through talking to you, I find that our relationship itself is a series of interesting performances."

    Cy: "Gannod undonog yw'r geiriau'n dechrau dawnsio ar y tudalen, ei annog i’w dychymyg ymhelaethu.
    En: Words that began as monotonous soon start to dance on the page, encouraging his imagination to expand.

    Cy: Gydag olau'r tan i westeio eu meddyliau, mae Gwilym yn ysgrifennu stori newydd, un mae’n ymroddi iddo’n angerddol am y tro cyntaf.
    En: With the light of the fire hosting their thoughts, Gwilym writes a new story, one he passionately commits to for the first time.

    Cy: Mae Rhiannon yn gwybod y bydd ei llyfr nesaf yn seiliedig ar y straeon a chlywodd yn yr encil hwn - yn cynnwys Gwilym.

    Cy: Ar hyd arfordir prydferth Penfro, roedd yr haul hydrefol yn goleuo'r traethau a'r cildraethau gyda golau ambr.
    En: Along the beautiful coastline of Penfro, the autumn sun illuminated the beaches and coves with amber light.

    Cy: Roedd Eleri yn sefyll ar ben clogwyn uchel, ei llygaid yn gosod ar y môr glas.
    En: Eleri stood on a high cliff, her eyes fixed on the blue sea.

    Cy: Roedd hi'n gyfarwydd iawn â'r lle hwn, mor lynedd â’i hawyrgylch.
    En: She was very familiar with this place, as old as its atmosphere.

    Cy: Yn ei chalon, roedd angerdd dwfn am fywyd morol a'r cemeg arbennig sydd yn y cerryntoedd tanddwr yma.
    En: In her heart, there was a deep passion for marine life and the special chemistry in the underwater currents here.

    Cy: Roedd eleni yn flwyddyn heriol i'r mudiad cadwraeth.
    En: This year was challenging for the conservation movement.

    Cy: Cyllideb tynn, a siarad cyson am doriadau, oedd y brif sgwrs.
    En: A tight budget, and constant talk of cuts, was the main topic.

    Cy: Roedd Carys, pennaeth profiadol y tîm, yn bryderus.
    En: Carys, the experienced head of the team, was anxious.

    Cy: Roedd iddi hanes o delio gyda phrosiectau a fethodd, ac felly roedd hi'n ofalus iawn am unrhyw gynlluniau newydd, yn cynnwys syniad Eleri am gydlynu prosiect i ddiogelu'r riffiau cwrel.
    En: She had a history of dealing with failed projects, and so she was very cautious about any new plans, including Eleri's idea to coordinate a project to protect the coral reefs.

    Cy: Er i Ddafydd ymuno'r tîm yn ddiweddar, roedd yn llawn brwdfrydedd.
    En: Although Dafydd had joined the team recently, he was full of enthusiasm.

    Cy: Roedd am brofi ei hun.
    En: He wanted to prove himself.

    Cy: Efallai bod ei brofiad yn gyfyng, ond roedd ei ewyllys ymroddgar yn amlwg.
    En: His experience might have been limited, but his dedicated will was evident.

    Cy: Roedd yn ystyried Eleri fel mentor, ac awyddodd camau ymhellach na’r helpu gyda’r gorchwilio.
    En: He regarded Eleri as a mentor and wanted to take steps beyond just assisting with the research.

    Cy: Mewn cadair stormus o benderfyniadau, rhaid oedd i Eleri benderfynu.
    En: In a stormy chair of decisions, Eleri had to decide.

    Cy: A ddylai hi fynd ar ymosodiad ar wleidyddiaeth gyllido, neu ddylai hi gydweithredu gyda Dafydd a fentro coll arloeswyr credyd?
    En: Should she launch an attack on funding politics, or should she collaborate with Dafydd and risk pioneering credit loss?

    Cy: Ar hyd y dyddiau aeth hi'n dal i ystyried ymateb Carys.
    En: Throughout the days, she continued to consider Carys's response.

    Cy: "Mae angen inni gydweithio," roedd Dafydd yn awgrymu, ei lygaid llyfn yn byrlymu.
    En: "We need to work together," Dafydd suggested, his smooth eyes bubbling.

    Cy: "Gawn ni greu argraff gyda'n gilydd.
    En: "We can make an impression together."

    Cy: " Gwyddai Eleri yn ei chalon fod hyn yn wir.
    En: Eleri knew in her heart that this was true.

    Cy: A'r ysbrid hwnnw o gydweithrediad wnaeth arwain i ddigwyddiad anhygoel.
    En: And that spirit of collaboration led to something incredible.

    Cy: Ar ddiwrnod y gynhadledd arfordirol, pan orfododd y cynlluniau i ddod yn fyw, cwrddodd Eleri a Dafydd â'r rhoddwyr am y tro cyntaf.
    En: On the day of the coastal conference, when the plans had to come to life, Eleri and Dafydd met the donors for the first time.

    Cy: Roedd y cyfarfod hwn yn cynnig cyfle anhepgor i argyhoeddi cefnogwyr pwysig ac arwyddocaol.
    En: This meeting offered a crucial opportunity to convince important and significant supporters.

    Cy: Wedi i Eleri gyflwyno'r achos, yn serennu gyda'i gwybodaeth ac angerdd, siaradodd Dafydd hefyd gyda brwdfrydedd a ymroddiad.
    En: After Eleri presented the case, shining with her knowledge and passion, Dafydd also spoke with enthusiasm and dedication.

    Cy: Syniodd y rhoddwyr, sy'n cael eu denu gan ddioddefaint Eleri a sicrwydd Dafydd, â sicrhau yr arian.
    En: The donors were impressed, drawn by Eleri's earnestness and Dafydd's assurance, and secured the funding.

    Cy: Roedd Carys yn gwylio, wedi ei llethu gan feddwl newydd: cydweithio, dyma ffordd ein dyfodol.
    En: Carys watched, overwhelmed by a new thought: collaboration, this is the way of our future.

    Cy: Wrth i'r arian hedfan i mewn, teimlodd Eleri bleser mawr.
    En: As the funds flew in, Eleri felt great pleasure.

    Cy: Nid yn unig hadau'r prosiect oedd yn cael eu plannu, ond y gwir werth o lwyddiant ar y cyd.
    En: Not only were the seeds of the project being planted, but also the true value of joint success.

    En: The entire trial was celebrated that night by the shoreline as the sun disappeared over the horizon.

    Cy: Roedd y teimlad o orfoledd ymysg y tîm yn amlwg.
    En: The feeling of jubilation among the team was evident.

    Cy: Roedd Eleri wedi dysgu gwers bwysig: gallai rhannu llwyddiant, a chydweithio gyda'i gynghreiriaid, arwain at gyflawniadau hyd yn oed mwy.
    En: Eleri had learned an important lesson: she could share success, and collaborating with her allies could lead to even greater achievements.

    Cy: Roedd gofal am Gymru, a'i hyfrydion, yn dwyn ffrwythau a'r gobaith am ddyfodol disglair ar y gorwel.
