Story Transcript:
Cy: Arosodd Gareth o dan gysgod coeden, yn dal i feddwl am y daith fawr o’i flaen.
En: Gareth waited under the shade of a tree, still thinking about the great journey ahead of him.
Cy: Roedd yr haul haf yn tywynnu'n boeth ar ei wyneb, ond roedd cwmwl o amheuaeth dros ei feddwl.
En: The summer sun shone hot on his face, but a cloud of doubt lingered over his mind.
Cy: "Beth os nad yw'n werth?" meddyliodd dro ar ôl tro, ei wyneb yn llawn pryder.
En: "What if it's not worth it?" he thought repeatedly, his face full of worry.
Cy: Wrth ei ymyl, eisteddodd Alis, yn gwylio’r tonnau o laswellt yn symud yn y gwynt.
En: Next to him, Alis sat watching the waves of grass move in the wind.
Cy: "Gareth, mae’n sŵn mor hardd.
En: "Gareth, it’s such a beautiful sound.
Cy: Ond, ydy'n werth ni wneud hyn?" Holodd hi, ei llais yn bryderus ond annwyl.
En: But, is it worth us doing this?" she asked, her voice anxious yet tender.
Cy: Roedd Gareth yn ymateb yn ansicr, "Rydw i eisiau credu bod gan Glastonbury Tor rhywbeth i ddangos i mi.
En: Gareth responded uncertainly, "I want to believe that Glastonbury Tor has something to show me.
Cy: Eto... dydw i ddim wir yn gwybod."
En: Yet... I don't really know."
Cy: Ar y gwrthwyneb, oedd Rhys, yn llawn egni a barymau cyffro.
En: Opposite them was Rhys, full of energy and excitement.
Cy: "Mae'r daith hon bwysig!
En: "This journey is important!
Cy: Byddwch yn gweld!
En: You will see!
Cy: Mae’r goleuni yno, rwy’n siŵr o hynny," meddai'n gyffrous, fel pe bai eisoes yn gweld y porthladdau goleuni.
En: The light is there, I'm sure of it," he said excitedly, as if he could already see the ports of light.
Cy: Roedd y tri ar fin deithio i ben Glasbury Tor, hill gysegredig yn Sir Gaerloyw, lle roedd y Lughnasadh yn rhoi awel o eglurhad i rwydi'r byd.
En: The three were about to travel to the top of Glastonbury Tor, a sacred hill in Sir Gaerloyw, where the Lughnasadh brought a breeze of clarity to the world's webs.
Cy: Roedd y gwyrddni o amgylch, a'r cerrig hynafol hefo'u storis gudd, yn sefyll yn waith bonsai dan doring y caeau.
En: The greenery around, and the ancient stones with their hidden stories, stood like bonsai work under the dissecting fields.
Cy: Dechreuodd Gareth am fynd ymlaen, y galw o drysau anweledig arwyddion yn tynnu yn ei galon.
En: Gareth began to move forward, the call from invisible doors signs pulling at his heart.
Cy: Teimlai pwysau’r dderw ar ei ysgwydd, ymdroi â mantra Rhes “y dyfodiad.”
En: He felt the weight of the oak on his shoulder, turning with the mantra of Rhes “the arrival.”
Cy: Roedd angen iddo wrando arno ei hun ar y funud hon, nid ar Rhys neu Alis.
En: He needed to listen to himself at this moment, not to Rhys or Alis.
Cy: Cyrhaeddodd Gareth y brig, gydag Alis a Rhys yn aros yn ôl.
En: Gareth reached the top, with Alis and Rhys waiting back.
Cy: Yna, wrth iddo sefyll ar Glastonbury Tor, yttyfodd y cwmwl oddi ar y haul a roes y tirlun cyfan yn gudd o olau aur.
En: Then, as he stood on Glastonbury Tor, the cloud lifted from the sun and bathed the entire landscape in a shroud of golden light.
Cy: Roedd yn gorauog ferwi a bod, yn freuddwyd a realiti yn uno ar ei lannau.
En: It was a fleeting simmering, a merging of dream and reality on its banks.
Cy: O’r foment honno, teimlai Gareth heddwch nad oedd erioed wedi profi o’r blaen.
En: From that moment, Gareth felt a peace he had never experienced before.
Cy: Gwelodd bod cenhedlaeth ei waith, gyda phob troeon llawn pwysigrwydd ei hunain.
En: He saw that the generations of his work, with every turn full of their own importance.
Cy: Roedd yn gwybod nawr, nad oedd angen rhyw arwydd allanol i benderfynu ar ei bwrpas.
En: He knew now, that he didn't need some external sign to determine his purpose.
Cy: Roedd ei deimladau, a’i faith ei hun, yn ddigon.
En: His feelings, and his own journey, were enough.
Cy: Wrth ddychwelyd o Glastonbury, teimlai Gareth yn ystwyth ac yn hirhunannol.
En: As he returned from Glastonbury, Gareth felt limber and self-assured.
Cy: Anghofiodd ei amheuaeth, ei calon yn bwydo mewn doethineb hen ddoethion, gyda sgyrsiau ei gydymaith yn caneuon ymhell i mewn i ddiwlltwydd.
En: He forgot his doubt, his heart feeding on the wisdom of old sages, with the conversations of his companions as songs deep into the wild.
Cy: Ac felly, fortuniodd Gareth ymlaen mewn bywyd, gan wybod bod gan bob cam ei bwrpas.
En: And so, Gareth forged ahead in life, knowing that every step had its purpose.
Cy: Roedd arwyddion personol mwy penodol i'w wneud ei hun, gan ddilyn y ffordd a nodwyd gan ei heddur fewnol.
En: He was to make more specific personal signs for himself, following the path marked by his internal guide.
Cy: Roedd yr haul yn mynd a dychwelyd, ond roedd Gareth nawr wastad yn disgleirio.
En: The sun would come and go, but Gareth now always shone.

Cy: Gyda llaw Duw yn creu och ar llen faddwythion yr hen bersoniau o gorthor – wrth ei gefn, roedd y dorf, ei ddwys yn pwyll, yn cymeradwyo a chyhoeddi ei rnawdfyd yn golau treftadaeth ewynius amlw.

Story Transcript:

En: In the early summer morning, Glyndwr and Bethan stood ready in Eryri National Park.
Cy: Gafaelodd Glyndwr yn ei fap a'i gwmpawd, ei lygaid yn pefrio â chyffro.
En: Glyndwr grasped his map and compass, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
Cy: Roedd yn barod i ddechrau'r antur arbennig yma i chwilio am gylch cerrig hynafol a ddarganfuodd mewn hen lyfr dyddiadur.
En: He was ready to begin this special adventure to search for an ancient stone circle he had discovered in an old diary.
Cy: Roedd Bethan wrth ei ymyl, yn dal i fod yn ddigon amheus, ond yn benderfynol o gefnogi ei ffrind.
En: Bethan was beside him, still somewhat skeptical, but determined to support her friend.
Cy: "Awn ni, Glyndwr?
En: "Shall we go, Glyndwr?"
Cy: " meddai Bethan, ei llais yn llon ond ychydig yn bryderus.
En: said Bethan, her voice cheerful but a bit anxious.
Cy: "Mae'n rhaid i ni," atebodd Glyndwr yn hyderus.
En: "We must," Glyndwr answered confidently.
Cy: "Dyma gyfle gwych i adnabod ein gwreiddiau.
En: "This is a great opportunity to connect with our roots."
Cy: "Aethant ymlaen i'r llwybr, y coed yn cilio gyda phaith yn llenwi'r awyr.
En: They proceeded on the path, the trees receding as meadows filled the air.
Cy: Roedd y dydd yn gynnes, ond yr awyr yn gynnil yn pwyso'n drymaidd â'r addo glaw.
En: The day was warm, but the sky subtly pressed heavily with the promise of rain.
Cy: Roedd y tirwedd yn brydferth, y bryniau a'r coedwigoedd fel dodrefn o gyfnod arall.
En: The landscape was beautiful, the hills and forests like furniture from another era.
Cy: Teimlai Bethan yn anghyfforddus wrth i'r llwybr fynd yn anoddach i'w ddilyn, y dail trwchus yn tracio eu cynnydd.
En: Bethan felt uneasy as the path became harder to follow, the thick leaves tracking their progress.
Cy: Wrth i'r oriau basio, clywyd grugiar yn alaru yn y pellter.
En: As the hours passed, a grouse was heard lamenting in the distance.
Cy: Roedd cryn bryder yn Bethan, "Glyndwr, mae hi'n anodd gweld y ffordd bellach.
En: Bethan was quite concerned, "Glyndwr, it's hard to see the way now.
Cy: Beth os na fyddwn ni'n gallu dod o hyd iddo?
En: What if we can't find it?"
Cy: "Gwenu wnaeth Glyndwr, gyda nod o benderfyniaeth ar ei wyneb.

En: "We'll be fine.
Cy: Mae'r cynllun yma'n fanwl gywir.

Cy: Ni allwn fethu.
En: We can't fail."
Cy: "Ar y munud hwn, dechreuodd niwlen trwchus godi, a'r gwynt yn fwhwl fel rhybudd.
En: At that moment, a thick mist began to rise, and the wind moaned like a warning.
Cy: Roedd amser yn gwasgu ac roedd dim ond sain ofnadwy'r glaw, yn dymuno taro'r ddaear, a glywid.
En: Time was pressing, and only the ominous sound of the rain, eager to hit the ground, was heard.
Cy: Ar ôl llawer o ymdrech, pan oeddynt bron â rhoi'r gorau iddi, digwyddodd rhywbeth arbennig.
En: After much effort, when they were almost ready to give up, something special happened.
Cy: Roeddent wedi cyrraedd.
En: They had arrived.
Cy: Yn eu blaenau, yn sefyll yn dawel ac yn niferus, roedd y cylch cerrig.
En: In front of them, standing quietly and in numbers, was the stone circle.
Cy: Roedd y cyffro'n groyw.
En: The excitement was vivid.
Cy: Roedd y dail ar y cerrig a'r awyr yn ffinio â thywyllwch o du cefn.
En: The leaves on the stones and the sky bordered with darkness from behind.
Cy: Un ond cawod fwrw a chyfarwyddodd Bethan, "Mae angen i ni fynd yn gyflym, Glyndwr.
En: A single shower fell and Bethan instructed, "We need to hurry, Glyndwr."
Cy: "Wrth ffoi, roedd Glyndwr yn edrych yn ôl am eiliad i gofio'n dawel am y lle, tra bod Bethan yn tynnu'n ôl gyda'r glaw yn cyflymu.
En: As they fled, Glyndwr looked back for a moment to quietly remember the place, while Bethan retreated with the rain speeding up.
Cy: Pan gyrhaeddon nhw'r lloches, roeddent yn wlyb drwodd ond yn ddiogel.
En: When they reached the shelter, they were drenched but safe.
Cy: "Wyt ti'n iawn?
En: "Are you alright?"
Cy: " holodd Glyndwr.
En: asked Glyndwr.
Cy: "Ydw," atebodd Bethan, yn gwenu bellach.
En: "Yes," Bethan answered, now smiling.
Cy: "Efallai nad wyf mor ddi-ofal â thithau, ond mae'r antur wedi bod yn werth chweil.
En: "I may not be as carefree as you, but the adventure has been worthwhile."
Cy: ""Roeddet ti'n gywir," cydnabu Glyndwr, "Mae bod yn barod yn holl bwysig.
En: "You were right," acknowledged Glyndwr, "Being prepared is very important.
Cy: Diolch am ddal i fynd gyda fi, Bethan.
En: Thank you for sticking with me, Bethan."
Cy: "Gwnaethant oresgyn eu pryderon a nawr roedd eu bond yn gryfach nag erioed.
En: They overcame their worries and now their bond was stronger than ever.
Cy: Roedd Glyndwr wedi dysgu parchu cydweithio a'r weledigaeth o berygl.
En: Glyndwr had learned to respect collaboration and the vision of danger.
Cy: Roedd Bethan yn gweld ei hyder yn cryfhau, yn barod i brofi rhagor o anturiaethau wrth ochr Glyndwr.
En: Bethan saw her confidence strengthen, ready to experience more adventures alongside Glyndwr.
Cy: Gyda'r awyr glawog yn clirio gobaith, roeddent yn nes at eu gwreiddiau nag erioed o'r blaen, a'r antur, dim ond dechreuad.

Story Transcript:
Cy: Ar fore llachar o haf yn Ninbych y Pysgod, roedd yr haul yn disgleirio ar y dŵr a'r awel hafog yn gwasgu drwy'r traeth tywodlyd.
En: On a bright summer morning in Dinbych y Pysgod, the sun was shining on the water, and the warm breeze was sweeping across the sandy beach.
Cy: Roedd Aneira, Carwyn, a Tegwen eisoes wedi gosod eu hetiau haul, a bwrdd bach wedi’i lenwi â bwyd cartref ar y traeth prysur.
En: Aneira, Carwyn, and Tegwen had already donned their sun hats, and a small table filled with homemade food was set up on the busy beach.
Cy: "Mae'n ddiwrnod perffaith," meddai Aneira yn gyffrous, gan edrych allan ar y môr. Roedd hi wedi cynllunio’r prynhawn hwn ers wythnosau, yn awyddus i greu atgofion melys gyda'i ffrindiau.
En: "It's a perfect day," said Aneira excitedly, looking out at the sea. She had been planning this afternoon for weeks, eager to create sweet memories with her friends.
Cy: "Wel, gobeithio ddim yn cael unrhyw amharu gan yr adar," meddai Carwyn, gan edrych yn ddiogel o dan ei hen het ben, yn edrych ar y môr. Doedd Carwyn ddim yn fwyaf hoff o adar, o fathau uchel na pheth arall, ac roedd hynny'n gyfrinach iddo.
En: "Well, let's hope we don't get any disturbances from the birds," said Carwyn, looking cautiously from under his old cap at the sea. Carwyn wasn't a fan of birds, whether loud kinds or otherwise, and that was a secret of his.
Cy: Tegwen, ar y llaw arall, oedd yr anturiwr eu plith, gyda'i llyfr braslunio yn ei dwylo bob amser yn barod i ddal yr hyn a ddigwyddai o'i gwmpas ar bapur.
En: Tegwen, on the other hand, was the adventurer among them, always with her sketchbook in hand, ready to capture whatever occurred around her on paper.
Cy: Roedd popeth yn Gymraeg pan, yn sydyn, cerflun o wenoliaid môr oer yn llinellau hir drosto gwrdd â'r bwrdd picnic. Sgrechiodd Aneira wrth weld amdo o ddelweddau gwyn a llwyd yn fflachio i lawr yn gyflym.
En: Everything was peaceful when, suddenly, a sculpture of arctic terns in long lines converged towards the picnic table. Aneira screamed as a canopy of white and gray images flashed rapidly downward.
Cy: "Awyren!" gwaeddodd Carwyn gan gylchdroi'n gyflym, yn ceisio cuddio'n ddiungain y tu ôl i Tegwen. Ond byddent ddim wedi disgwyl y darpar mewn fory o ddyfalbarhad yr adar môr hynod yma.
En: "Plane!" yelled Carwyn, spinning quickly, trying to hide instantly behind Tegwen. But they wouldn't have expected the sheer tenacity of these extraordinary sea birds.
Cy: O fewn eiliadau byr, dechreuodd y seagulls eu hymgyrch ei fwydo gan ddod â ‘no rations’ eu hunain, ynghyd â phlu hawdd y bwrdd, stori ychwanegol yn y bôn eu profiadau diwrnod.
En: Within moments, the seagulls began their assault, fueled by their own "no rations," along with the table's easy plunder, an extra story to their day’s experiences.
Cy: Aneira digynnwrf ceisio eu gyrru i ffwrdd, gan chwifie’r napcynau fel baner ferdod, ond roedd yr adar yn benderfynol. Carwyn wedi'i hanner cysgodi o dan ei dat. Tadwen â chipio ei braslunyn, ei llaw a allai'n cael ei gafael yn yr ymran.
En: Aneira, undeterred, tried to drive them away, waving the napkins like a valiant flag, but the birds were determined. Carwyn was half-sheltered under his cap. Tegwen grabbed her sketchbook, her hand capturing the chaos.
Cy: Ond wedyn, cysylltiad chwip tua i lawr ac atyn nhw, gwelodd y seagulls ei gyfle—y brechdanaud. Codi yno i'r awyr i ffwrdd gyda’r cyfleuster, maen nhw’n un cipio yr adar yn y ffordd maen nhw’n niwliedig.
En: But then, with a swooping dive towards them, the seagulls saw their chance—the sandwiches. Rising into the sky, they took the opportunity, snatching them with foggy precision.
Cy: "Wir!" gwaeddodd Tegwen, gan fraslunio hynod o’r chwedl anghredadwy ar bopeth a ddigwyddai. Ar unwaith, dechreuodd yr olygfa dodlawr o frith. Ffwlhaodd!
En: "Wow!" cried Tegwen, sketching the incredible saga unfolding. Immediately, the scene burst into chaos. How chaotic!
Cy: Er sioc cyntaf, daeth y chwerthin yn dodl ar lan y traeth. Rhyddhaodd y sgrechiadau siomedigwynt a bynwyltu nes i diwedd y bysys. Yn dod o’r eu llond o grwst, grymusun fwy o’r bwyd fydd yn fendigedig i gael.
En: After the initial shock, laughter soon rippled along the beach. The cries of disappointment swirled and faded as the sandwiches vanished. No longer were they filled with pastries, powered by snacking now wondrous to have.
Cy: Ar y diwedd, wedi syrthio'n ôl ar y traeth gyda'r haul yn dadleithio diweddiad arnynt, llogant y trywydd o gwmpas yn cofnodi'r hanes mewn tudalenau ewystl ymgynefro gan gawrthia hadgasg. Achewbiaeth o chwerthinodd Carwyn wrth weld delwedd Tadwen yn ddal y fennod.
En: In the end, they collapsed back on the beach, the sun casting its late glow on them, capturing the essence of the day's events in the borrowed pages of their reflections. Laughter overcame Carwyn as he saw Tegwen's depiction of the episode.
Cy: "Doedd y diwrnod hwn ddim yn berffaith, ond mi fydd y diwrnod gafodd ei gofio," dywedodd Aneira gyda'r math o ddiolchgarwch na ellir egluro.
En: "Today wasn't perfect, but it will be a day to remember," said Aneira with a kind of gratitude that can't be explained.
Cy: Ac felly fu, yn Ninbych y Pysgod lle y tu hwnt i’r môr glas ac yn eu pwyll amgylchedd gan fod dim ond y daith atgof, a’r prysur dymor o’i anturiaethau फ angen; dyweddai newydd fod.
En: And so it was, in Dinbych y Pysgod, beyond the blue sea and their calm surroundings, there was nothing but the memory path, and the busy season of their adventures needed no more explanation—it simply was.

Story Transcript:
Cy: Mae'r haul yn disgleirio'n felys dros Fae Caerdydd, a dŵr y môr yn pefrio'n aur.
En: The sun shines sweetly over Bae Caerdydd, and the sea water gleams golden.
Cy: Mae pobl yn brysur yn paratoi ar gyfer y wyl.
En: People are busy preparing for the festival.
Cy: Llongau tal yn llawn hwyliau mawr yn sefyll wrth fodurau.
En: Tall ships with large sails stand by the docks.
Cy: Yn eu mysg, mae Gruffudd yn gweithio fel llaw-ddarn ar long dal.
En: Among them, Gruffudd works as a deckhand on a tall ship.
Cy: Mae'n brysur yn clymu rhaffau, yn sicrhau cychod, ac yn glanhau'r dec.
En: He is busy tying ropes, securing boats, and cleaning the deck.
Cy: Mae'r sŵn o feichiau uchel a hiwmor crew rhai gwachul ond cynnes yn llenwi'r awyr.
En: The sound of loud chatter and the humor of the crew, somewhat chaotic but warm, fills the air.
Cy: Gruffudd, yn ei ugeiniau hwyr, yn freuddwydio am hwylio'r byd.
En: Gruffudd, in his late twenties, dreams of sailing the world.
Cy: Mae'n gweithio gyda meddwl yn ei ben, rhwng gorchmynion a chyfarwyddiadau.
En: He works with thoughts swirling in his head, between orders and instructions.
Cy: Ar brydiau, mae'n holi ei hun am ei ddyfodol.
En: At times, he asks himself about his future.
Cy: A ddylai ef adael ei waith, gadael Caerdydd, a dilyn ei freuddwydion?
En: Should he leave his job, leave Caerdydd, and follow his dreams?
Cy: Mae grŵp o longwyr wrth ymyl yn siarad am daith newydd.
En: A group of sailors nearby are talking about a new journey.
Cy: Traed wedi paved â chluder ac amrywiaeth pell.
En: Feet have been paved with comfort and distant variety.
Cy: Mae algoeau'r môr yn cael eu cario ar eu geiriau.
En: The callings of the sea are carried on their words.
Cy: Mae Gruffudd yn gwrando, ei galon yn curo’n gyflym.
En: Gruffudd listens, his heart beating quickly.
Cy: Ond mae wedi ymrwymo.
En: But he has made commitments.
Cy: Mae rhywbeth ynddo yn dal ar ben.
En: Something in him holds firm.
Cy: Ar noson haf glir, mae'n sefyll ar y dec.
En: On a clear summer night, he stands on the deck.
Cy: Mae'r haul wedi mynd i gysgu ac mae'r sêr yn wincio.
En: The sun has gone to sleep, and the stars are winking.
Cy: Aros neu fynd?
En: Stay or go?
Cy: Mae'r bwrdd newydd ar fin gadael.
En: The new journey is about to depart.
Cy: Y dewisiad wrth ei draed.
En: The choice lies at his feet.
Cy: Mae syniadau am fywyd sydd tu hwnt i'r gorwel, ble mae'r môr yn ymestyn, yn ei ben.
En: Thoughts of life beyond the horizon, where the sea stretches, fill his mind.
Cy: Ond mae cyfrifoldebau wedi eu gollwng o'i flaen.
En: But responsibilities lie ahead of him.
Cy: Yn sydyn, ac er ei fod yn ofnus, mae dewrder yn ymsuddo ynddo.
En: Suddenly, and although he is afraid, courage settles within him.
Cy: Daw i benderfyniad.
En: He comes to a decision.
Cy: Mae'n barod i adael yr hen ffyrdd y tu ôl i’w ddilyniant.
En: He is ready to leave the old ways behind to follow his path.
Cy: Mae'r dirgelwch yn ysgogi ei galon.
En: The mystery excites his heart.
Cy: Mae'n cerdded ymlaen â'r cwch, teimlo'r byd newydd o'i flaen, y gwyrddlas môr yn ei wynebu.
En: He walks toward the ship, feeling the new world before him, the deep blue sea facing him.
Cy: Mae Gruffudd wedi newid.
En: Gruffudd has changed.
Cy: Mae'n sylweddoli mai dyma ddechrau ei antur ofaledig.
En: He realizes that this is the start of his meticulous adventure.
Cy: Mae’n deall erbyn hyn mai ansicrwydd yw un rhan o'r antur.
En: He now understands that uncertainty is a part of the adventure.
Cy: Mae'r môr yn ei alw.
En: The sea is calling him.
Cy: Ac mae Gruffudd wedi penderfynu i’w ateb.
En: And Gruffudd has decided to answer.
