Story Transcript:

Cy: Mae'r amgylchedd yn fyw gyda bloeddianau a baneri yn chwifio yn yr awel ysgafn o Gynhaeaf.
En: The environment is alive with shouts and flags waving in the gentle breeze of Harvest.

Cy: Cofiwch, prynhawn heddychlon ym mis Mai.
En: Remember, a peaceful afternoon in May.

Cy: Yn y pen draw, bu drewdrwydd eithafol yn y ffordd gymdeithasol o flaen y lle heddlu mawr yng Nghaerdydd.
En: Eventually, there was extreme tension in the social way in front of the large police station in Caerdydd.

Cy: Yng nghanol y dorf oedd Geraint.
En: In the middle of the crowd was Geraint.

Cy: Ei galon yn drwm gydag argyfyngau newid hinsawdd, ond gyda'r un mor llawn o obaith.
En: His heart was heavy with climate change crises, but equally full of hope.

Cy: Roedd Rhys, swyddog heddlu, yn sefyll gerllaw, yn arsylwi gyda'i lygaid profiadol ar y dorf fwrlwmus, ei feddwl yn llawn camau a fyddai'n cadw pawb yn ddiogel.
En: Rhys, a police officer, stood nearby, observing with his experienced eyes the bustling crowd, his mind full of steps that would keep everyone safe.

Cy: Ar y tro hynny, glywodd Eira waith caled ei ben, ac yna awyr sydd ar goll.
En: At that moment, Eira felt the hard work of her head, and then air that's lost.

Cy: Swrthodd, am eiliad at ei thraed, ac yna syrthiodd fel dail i'r llawr.
En: She staggered, momentarily bracing herself, and then fell like leaves to the ground.

Cy: Roedd y dorf yn rhannol hawdd ei tharo a’i phrawf wrth weld y fenyw'n disgyn.
En: The crowd was partly easy to strike and astonished as they saw the woman fall.

Cy: Heb oedi, rhedodd Geraint ato hi.
En: Without hesitation, Geraint ran to her.

Cy: Wedi gostwng ar ei liniau, atalodd am ei wynt ac arafodd ei anadl.
En: Kneeling down, he caught his breath and slowed his breathing.

Cy: "Wyt ti'n iawn?" gofynnodd yn dirion, ond doedd Eira ddim yn ymateb.
En: "Are you okay?" he asked gently, but Eira did not respond.

Cy: Roedd Rhys ar ei hôl.
En: Rhys was right behind.

Cy: "Rhaid gwasgaru," meddai mewn llais grymus.
En: "We need to disperse," he said in a commanding voice.

Cy: Ond roedd Geraint wedi gwneud penderfyniad.
En: But Geraint had made a decision.

Cy: "Rhaid ei helpu," dywedodd â phenderfyniad cryf.
En: "We must help her," he stated with strong determination.

Cy: "Nid yw hi'n iach, mae angen cymorth arni."
En: "She's not well, she needs assistance."

Cy: Pan fue hawliadau'r swyddogion i'r bobl eraill adael, a'r dorf yn dechrau ymgrynhoi, tynnodd Geraint sylw Rhys.
En: As the officers' calls for others to leave went out and the crowd began to thin, Geraint caught Rhys's attention.

Cy: "Mae hi'r pwysicaf ar hyn o bryd," meddai, yn anwybyddu'r risgiau posibl o'i weithredoedd.
En: "She's the most important right now," he said, ignoring the possible risks of his actions.

Cy: Fel y digwyddodd, diene ortrafferth, camegues gychwynodd i ganol y gwerthfawrogiad.
En: As it happened, without trouble, paramedics began to arrive in the midst of the appreciation.

Cy: Pan agorodd Eira ei llygaid, triaged Geraint yn ôl o gysur pur.
En: When Eira opened her eyes, Geraint stepped back with pure relief.

Cy: Gwelodd yr ambiwlans yn cyrraedd gyda rhwyddineb a sawl rhyddhad daearol.
En: He saw the ambulance arriving with ease and much earthly relief.

Cy: Gyda chydlyniaeth, helpodd Geraint ac Rhys y negeseuwyr paratoadol wrth iddynt ofyn am Eira, sy'n malio na'r gawl.
En: With coordination, Geraint and Rhys assisted the paramedics as they attended to Eira, who was more concerned than cold.

Cy: Yn afon llethedig, gadawodd eich.
En: In a broadened stream, they left her.

Cy: Dechreuodd y dorf sarhaus bellhau yn esmwyth, ac roedd Rhys, er sulitangols, yn weld bod bod y rhew wedi torri ar brynu arall.
En: The troublesome crowd began to move away smoothly, and Rhys, although determined, saw that the ice had broken for another purchase.

Cy: Wrth i Geraint sefyll i unwaith eto gyda'r dorf yn dirwyn i ben, daeth barn newydd.
En: As Geraint stood once again with the crowd winding down, a new perspective emerged.

Cy: Roedd ei waith, er ei fod yn dod i ben mewn ffyrdd eraill nag a ragwelwyd, wedi rhoi ei galon yn ogystal â phrifleoedd cystadleuol.
En: His work, although it ended in ways different from what he had envisioned, had filled his heart along with the main competitive priorities.

Cy: Mae'r bendith diwedd mwyaf yn ôl; nid yn unig yw gwynt allanol yn bwysig, ond hyfryd gyda'r alwed mae'n rhaid i'r bod.
En: The greatest blessing is back; not only is the external wind important, but delightful with the call one must make.

Cy: Mae llai o ryddid wrth wasanaethu'r gweision eraill, ac mae popethiau yn codi'n ychwanegol trwy weithredoedd caredig yn ogystal â chenhadaethau llafar.
En: There is less freedom in serving others, and everything grows additionally through kind deeds as well as vocal missions.

Story Transcript:

Cy: Dydd llon, Emrys, Gwenllian, a Catrin, yn ymweld â Gardd Fotaneg Genedlaethol Cymru.
En: On Monday, Emrys, Gwenllian, and Catrin visited the Gardd Fotaneg Genedlaethol Cymru.

Cy: Roedd yr haul yn tywynnu'n dyner, goleuo'r blodau lliwgar a choed yn siglo yn y gwynt ysgafn.

En: Gwenllian had arranged the perfect trip to enjoy a peaceful picnic late in the spring.

Cy: Yn harbwr eichdalus, roedd Emrys yn chwilfrydig gydag ei gamera yn darganfod y bywyd gwyllt a oedd yn byw yn y gerddi.
En: In the sheltered haven, Emrys was curious with his camera, discovering the wildlife that lived in the gardens.

Cy: Yn ystod ei dro amgylch y llyn a'r llwybrau graeanog, roedd ei bys yn barod i wasgu'r botwm saethu yn chwilio am yr llun perffaith.
En: During his stroll around the lake and the gravel paths, his finger was ready to press the shutter button in search of the perfect picture.

Cy: Tra roedd Gwenllian yn lledu'r blanced picnic ar y glaswellt meddal, teimlodd Emrys wasgfa golau ar ei ysgwydd.
En: While Gwenllian was spreading the picnic blanket on the soft grass, Emrys felt a light squeeze on his shoulder.

Cy: Roedd y seagull twp, enwog am ei garu bwyd, wedi glanio wrth ei ôl.
En: A cheeky seagull, famous for its love of food, had landed behind him.

Cy: Yn sydyn, gyda gwth crochi wedi'i lygaid ar ypecyn clawr Emrys.
En: Suddenly, with a squawking shove, it had its eyes on Emrys's sandwich.

Cy: I fyny yn yr awyr aeth y sandwich blasus, ac y seagull twyllodrus oedd a gweld y synnodd.
En: Up into the air went the tasty sandwich, and the mischievous seagull was seen.

Cy: "Catrin!
En: "Catrin!"

Cy: " gwaeddodd Gwenllian mewn rhwystredigaeth.
En: shouted Gwenllian in frustration.

Cy: Catrin, sy'n gweithio ar y gerddi fel cadwraig hynaws gyda gwybodaeth garw am adar a byd natur, daeth yn fuan i helpu i wneud trefn.
En: Catrin, who works at the gardens as a kind caretaker with a strong knowledge of birds and nature, quickly came to help restore order.

Cy: "O na," meddai Catrin, gan wenu.
En: "Oh no," said Catrin, smiling.

Cy: "Mae dwi'n ei adnabod yr aderyn hwnnw.
En: "I know that bird.

Cy: Mae'n un annrhefnus ond digon doniol.
En: It’s a bit of a troublemaker, but quite amusing."

Cy: " Aeth Catrin ati'n ddigon cyflym i geisio tawelu pethau.
En: Catrin quickly set about trying to calm things down.

Cy: Tra roedd Gwenllian yn gorfod amddiffyn y picnic hunan, rhedegodd Emrys ar ôl y seagull, ei gamera yn barod.
En: While Gwenllian had to defend the picnic herself, Emrys ran after the seagull, his camera at the ready.

Cy: Hwn oedd cyfle Emrys i ddogfennu'r olygfa anhygoel hon, ac roedd yn gyffrous am y llun unigryw a allai ddal.
En: This was Emrys's chance to document this incredible scene, and he was excited about the unique picture he might capture.

Cy: Gadawodd Emrys ddim ei wylltio gan y troeon annisgwyl, ond dilynodd y seagull drwy'r llwybrau blodau a phlanhigion gweithiog.
En: Emrys didn’t let himself get upset by the unexpected turns but followed the seagull through the flower and busy plant paths.

Cy: Yn sydyn, o fewn y foeloredd eichdalus, eiliad ddaliodd y poppeth.
En: Suddenly, in the tranquil dusk, a moment captured everything.

Cy: Pencoed wrth gefn ffrwydr cyffroi Emrys â chlirder dros ben roedd y llun perffaith.
En: Standing back in a burst of Emrys's excitement, perfectly captured was the ideal picture.

Cy: I'r diwedd, roedd Emrys wedi dal ddelwedd o'r seagull yn hofran yn yr awyr gyda'r blodau'n cynnwys y cefndir.
En: In the end, Emrys had captured an image of the seagull hovering in the air with flowers decorating the background.

Cy: Roedd yn llun doeth, ac Emrys roddodd shout ar y llun, gan ddal sylw'r elegant llachar a gwacter gyflymddinydd y ser.
En: It was a wise picture, and Emrys shouted out about the shot, capturing the bright elegance and fleeting emptiness of the scene.

Cy: Pan ddododd nôl at Gwenllian, roedd hithau'n chwerthin gyda Catrin, yn mwynhau hwyl y diwrnod.
En: When he returned to Gwenllian, she was laughing with Catrin, enjoying the day’s fun.

Cy: Er gwnaeth y seagull rwystro ei henw hymoniad, maent pawb wedi dysgu derbyn yr annisgwyl.
En: Even though the seagull had interrupted her carefully laid plans, everyone learned to embrace the unexpected.

Cy: Efallai nad oedd picnic Gwenllian wedi mynd i gynllun, ond wrth fyllio'r diwrnod â chwerthin a thri'w ngaed, diawn oedd llwyddiant.
En: Perhaps Gwenllian's picnic hadn’t gone according to plan, but by filling the day with laughter and new experiences, it was certainly a success.

Cy: Ac i Emrys, dysgwyd mai'r trychniadau a ffynonellau annhebygol yn gallu arwain at harddwch niwlynol.

Cy: Saif ger mynedfa'r digwyddiad, ond yn fuan, roedd hi'n sylweddoli nid oedd ganddi docyn.
En: She stood by the entrance to the event but soon realized she didn't have a ticket.

Cy: Heb adael i hynny ei anwybyddu, penderfynodd Eleri ymuno â grŵp o swyddogion morwrol oedd yn mynd heibio iddi.
En: Not letting that deter her, Eleri decided to join a group of naval officers who were passing by her.

Cy: Gydag ychydig o lwc, llwyddodd i sleifio heibio'r gwarchod ac i mewn i'r porthladd.

Cy: Roedd yr holl lygaid arni.
En: All eyes were on her.

Cy: Yn sydyn, gwelodd y sefyllfa gyda diffyg parch.
En: Suddenly, she saw the situation with a lack of seriousness.

Cy: Gwên chwareus a ddaeth dros ei gwep, ac dywedodd Eleri, "Wel, os na allaf gael fy ngwahodd, fe ddylen nhw wneud fel pe bai rhaid galw fi i lawr gydag trîn.
En: A playful grin spread across her face, and Eleri said, "Well, if I can't get invited, they should at least act like I need to be called down with a treat."

Cy: "Roedd y bobl yn y digwyddiad wedi cyd-chwerthinu.
En: The people at the event burst into shared laughter.

Cy: Cymerodd y tensiwn ychydig arall llacio.
En: The tension eased a little.

Cy: Heb amgyffred mai cysgod o wall oedd ar y dechrau, llwyddodd Eleri i newid y sefyllfa i un chwerthin dilychwin.
En: Not realizing that a slip-up was the starting point, Eleri managed to turn the situation into one of unrestrained laughter.

Cy: Roedd y chwerthin yn parhau, a'i gymeriad gwirioneddol oedd yn brysur i bob golwg.
En: The laughter continued, and her true character was evidently thriving.

Cy: Ar ôl hyn, ymunodd â'r parti fel gwirioneddol.
En: After this, she joined the party properly.

Cy: Dysgodd pa mor bwysig yw bod yn driw i'w hun a'i hygrededd ei hun.

Cy: Roedd pobl yn gwerthfawrogi ei hawydd i fod ei hun—dim triciau na chamau twyllodrus.
En: People appreciated her desire to be herself—no tricks or deceitful moves.

Cy: Wrth edrych dros y porthladd, gyda'r machlud yn llychwino'r awyr mewn tonau oren a phinc, teimlai ganlyniadau'r diwrnod yn anghyffredin.
En: Looking over the port, with the sunset glowing the sky in tones of orange and pink, she felt the day's outcomes were extraordinary.

Cy: Roedd yn ddiwrnod lle dysgodd nad oedd ei hunaniaeth yn dibynnu ar barti na thrindod.
En: It was a day where she learned her identity didn't depend on a party or a trio.

Cy: Roeddent wedi derbyn ei wirionedd.

Cy: “Mae angen creu rhywbeth arbennig iawn,” meddai Emrys gyda golwg difrifol, “Rhaid i bawb sy’n dod deimlo’r hanes a harddwch naturiol.”
En: “We need to create something very special,” said Emrys with a serious look, “Everyone who comes must feel the history and natural beauty.”

Cy: “Beth am gerfluniau blodau mawr?” awgrymodd Carys, ei ochrau llygaid yn disgleirio o gyffro.
En: “What about large flower sculptures?” suggested Carys, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

Cy: “Cerfluniau yn braf,” atebodd Gareth, “ond syniais i na fyddai’r cei eleth modd os bydd hi’n bwrw glaw.”
En: “Sculptures are nice,” replied Gareth, “but I reckon they wouldn't hold up if it rains.”

Cy: Roedd y dadlau ymhlith y tri wedi parhau am oriau, bob dydd.
En: The arguing among the three continued for hours every day.

En: Each loved Bodnant in their own way.

Cy: Emrys yn credu y gallai eu syniadau unedig greu rhywbeth anhygoel.

En: Looking at the previous year, he decided to try merging Carys' ideas with Gareth's practicality.

Cy: “Gadewch i ni weithio gyda’n gilydd. Fe wnawn yn well y ffordd yma.”
En: “Let's work together. We’ll do better this way.”

Cy: Arholi disodli tirlun bendigedig o dan gysgod y mynyddoedd, roedd gwaith yn mynd rhagddo’n dda.

En: Paths were illuminated, and flower gardens conveyed stories and characters.

Cy: Fodd bynnag, wrth iddynt fwrw ymlaen, daeth cymylau duon yn tua’r nos cyn y ŵyl.
En: However, as they proceeded, dark clouds gathered the evening before the festival.

Cy: Cwympai law trwm, a oedd yn bygwth difrodi’r setup cyfan.
En: Heavy rain fell, threatening to ruin the entire setup.

Cy: “Arlwywch bopeth o dan garpedi trwm a tharpau!” galwodd Gareth yn gyflym.
En: “Cover everything with heavy carpets and tarps!” called out Gareth quickly.

Cy: “Os gallwch chi helpu i geisio achub y cerfluniau blodau, byddai hynny’n wych!” ychwanegodd Carys.
En: “If you can help save the flower sculptures, that would be great!” added Carys.

Cy: Gyda’r tri yn cydweithio, cawsant bopeth wedi’i stemio ysbyrlig, ac roeddol gwir ysbryd tîm.
En: With all three working together, they got everything secured swiftly, demonstrating true team spirit.

Cy: Er yn wlyb llaith, dywedodd Emrys yn ddiogel, “We’ve done it together. The show must go on.”
En: Though wet and damp, Emrys safely said, “We've done it together. The show must go on.”

Cy: Pan gododd y haul ar ddiwrnod yr ŵyl, roedd Bodnant fel cyfanrwydd.
En: When the sun rose on the festival day, Bodnant shone in its entirety.

Cy: Roedd popeth yn fythgofiadwy, o’r llwyfan i’r golygfeydd wedi’u goleuo mewn gwawl gwanwyn.
En: Everything was unforgettable, from the stage to the views illuminated in spring light.

Cy: Edrychodd y gwesteion i fyny a meddwl mai hon oedd yr ŵyl orau a oeddent erioed wedi mynychu.
En: Guests looked up and thought this was the best festival they had ever attended.

Cy: Roedd Emrys, Carys, a Gareth yn drafferthu gyda’r llawenydd.
En: Emrys, Carys, and Gareth were filled with joy.

Cy: Dysgodd Emrys werthrwydd gydweithio a gwerthfawrogi syniadau eraill.

Story Transcript:

Cy: Y bore yma, roedd y dŵr yn dawel, fel pe bai Llyn Padarn yn adlewyrchu'r nefoedd clir uwchben.
En: This morning, the water was calm, as if Llyn Padarn was reflecting the clear heavens above.

Cy: Roedd Aled ac Eira yn paratoi'u cwch rhwyfo am antur ar y dŵr.
En: Aled and Eira were preparing their rowing boat for an adventure on the water.

Cy: Teimlai Aled ei fod yn rhan o'r dirwedd, a phob penllanw a thu hwnt yn deffro ei ysfa anturus.
En: Aled felt he was a part of the landscape, and every tide and beyond awakened his adventurous spirit.

Cy: Roedd y dydd yn ddihoeni, a dydd olaf y gwanwyn yn amlygu'r môr eang o flodau ar gyfer yr haf sy'n dod.
En: The day was placid, with the last day of spring revealing a vast sea of flowers for the coming summer.

Cy: Teimlai'r ddau yn gyffrous wrth iddynt gychwyn eu taith gydag Eira yn cymryd y rhwyfau yn gyntaf.
En: The two felt excited as they began their journey with Eira taking the oars first.

Cy: Roedd y seiri heulog yn braf ac yn codi'r galon.
En: The sunny morning was pleasant and uplifting.

Cy: Ond er gwaethaf yr heddwch allanol, roedd meddwl Aled yn llawn cymylau.
En: But despite the outward peace, Aled's mind was full of clouds.

Cy: Roedd pen yn llawn amheuon, yn ystyried llwybrau, ond yn methu canfod cyfeiriad clir.
En: His head was filled with doubts, considering paths, but unable to find a clear direction.

Cy: Yn y sefyllfa hon, nid oedd ei uchelgais anturus yn cynnig atebion.
