Story Transcript:
Cy: Mae'r gwyntoedd o Hydref yn chwythu'n oer drwy strydoedd prysur Caerdydd.
En: The autumn winds were blowing coldly through the busy streets of Caerdydd.
Cy: Roedd Rhys, dyn gofalus a chyllidol, yn cerdded yn araf gyda'i ddwylo yn synfyfyrio.
En: Rhys, a careful and frugal man, was walking slowly with his hands deep in thought.
Cy: Efo ef roedd Gwen, ei wraig sy'n llawn egni a syniadau, a Dafydd, eu mab bach, yn clustogod o gyffro am y siopa roedden nhw ar fin gwneud.
En: With him were Gwen, his wife full of energy and ideas, and Dafydd, their little son, bubbling with excitement about the shopping they were about to do.
Cy: "Ry'n ni angen cotiau cyn y gaeaf," meddai Rhys, braidd yn bryderus am y costau aruthrol y mae wedi clywed amdanynt.
En: "We need coats before winter," said Rhys, somewhat worried about the exorbitant costs he had heard about.
Cy: Roedd y prisiau wedi codi yn anarferol eleni.
En: Prices had risen unusually this year.
Cy: Roedd hynny'n ei boeni'n fawr.
En: This worried him greatly.
Cy: "Hwn oedd y lle gorau ar gyfer dillad cynnes llynedd," awgrymodd Gwen, yn stopio y tu allan i'r siop ffenestri mawrion.
En: "This was the best place for warm clothes last year," Gwen suggested, stopping outside the large-windowed shop.
Cy: "Ond gallwn ni hefyd fynd i siop ail-law lleol," ychwanegodd, yn llygadu Rhys yn dawel.
En: "But we could also go to a local second-hand shop," she added, glancing quietly at Rhys.
Cy: Roedd Rhys yn edrych ar y cotiau yn y ffenest.
En: Rhys looked at the coats in the window.
Cy: Roedden nhw'n daclus ac yn gynnes – perffaith ar gyfer y gaeaf blin oedd yn ymdeithio.
En: They were neat and warm—perfect for the harsh winter approaching.
Cy: Roedd pris pob cot yn gwrando'n drwm ar ei galon.
En: The price of each coat weighed heavily on his heart.
Cy: Roedd bob peth yn uwch na'r hyn oedd Rhys wedi cynllunio.
En: Everything was higher than what Rhys had planned.
Cy: "Edrych ar hwn," meddai Gwen, yn tynnu sylw Rhys at got cain, tanllew.
En: "Look at this," said Gwen, drawing Rhys's attention to a chic, tan coat.
Cy: Roedd yn fanwl a fyddai'n dal cymaint o gyfleoedd.
En: It was detailed and would hold countless opportunities.
Cy: Ond cafodd ei bris ei fyddaru.
En: But its price stunned him.
Cy: Roedd Rhys mewn dau feddwl.
En: Rhys was in two minds.
Cy: "Cawn ni fynd i'r siop ail-law.
En: "We can go to the second-hand shop.
Cy: Os nad yw'n gweithio, gallwn ni ddychwelyd yma," mynnodd Gwen.
En: If it doesn't work out, we can come back here," insisted Gwen.
Cy: Camodd Rhys yn ôl, gan roi ei dryst ar synnwyr Gwen.
En: Rhys stepped back, putting his trust in Gwen's judgment.
Cy: Aeth y tri ymlaen at y siop ail-law ar ymyl y farchnad leol, y farchnad lle mae pob stori gymysg - lle bob amser wedi bodlon eu dymuniadau.
En: The three of them proceeded to the second-hand shop on the edge of the local market, the market where every story is mixed— a place that had always fulfilled their wishes.
Cy: Mewn ychydig, darganfuon nhw hyfrydwch anhygoel.
En: Before long, they discovered an incredible delight.
Cy: Roedd cot gwlân fawr i Rhys, cot berffaith i Gwen ac un fach i Dafydd, pob un yn edrych bron fel newydd.
En: There was a large wool coat for Rhys, a perfect coat for Gwen and a small one for Dafydd, each looking almost new.
Cy: Roedd y prisiau gwirioneddol wedi gwneud i Rhys chwerthin - pentwr fach o bunnau.
En: The actual prices made Rhys laugh—a small pile of pounds.
Cy: Traed ychydig yn unig, ond enillion gwych.
En: Just a few steps were needed for great gains.
Cy: Yn cerdded yn ôl drwy'r dail lliwgar, teimlai Rhys ryw fath o ryddhad.
En: Walking back through the colorful leaves, Rhys felt a kind of relief.
Cy: Dysgodd o'r profiad - nid yw bob amser angen gorbwyso.
En: He learned from the experience—it’s not always necessary to overspend.
Cy: Trwsiadau Gwen, a synnwyr ar gyfer cyfle yn y siop ail-law, oedd wedi dwyn budd o fath newydd iddo.
En: Gwen's fixes, and her sense for opportunity in the second-hand shop, had brought him a new kind of benefit.
Cy: Caeodd yr haul ar draws strydoedd tellaidd Caerdydd.
En: The sun set across the charming streets of Caerdydd.
Cy: Gwnaeth y tri ohonyn nhw gerdded yn araf, blynyddoedd o hynodrwydd a hyfrydwch o gwmpas eu hafonydd.
En: The three of them walked slowly, years of peculiarity and delight surrounding their footsteps.
Cy: I Rhys, roedd eu hachos, heddiw, wedi dod yn fudd uwch nag oedd wedi disgwyl.
En: For Rhys, their venture today turned out to be more beneficial than he expected.
Cy: Nid oedd golwg Gwen erioed yn methu.
En: Gwen's insight was never wrong.

En: The atmosphere in the center of Caerdydd city is almost alive on a fine autumn day.
Cy: Mae colofnau o liwiau cras yn dansio yng ngolau'r haul wrth i'r dail melyn a choch syrthio'n araf o'r coed.

Cy: Mae e'n aros am neges o bwys o'r ysbyty.
En: He is waiting for news of significance from the hospital.
Cy: Mae'r canlyniadau meddygol hwn yn pwyso'n drwm ar ei ysgwyddau, ac mae'r ansicrwydd yn ei ddychryn.
En: These medical results weigh heavily on his shoulders, and the uncertainty frightens him.
Cy: Mae Rhian, ei chwaer, wedi cynnig iddo gadw'n brysur, am nad yw disgwyl yn gwneud lles i neb.
En: Rhian, his sister, has suggested that he keep busy because waiting helps no one.
Cy: Felly mae Gwyn, meddylgar a bron yn ddiflas, wedi mentro allan i ganol y dref.
En: So Gwyn, thoughtful and almost bored, has ventured out to the town center.
Cy: Gan symud trwy'r strydoedd, mae Gwyn yn enbyd o geisio distractio ei hun.
En: Moving through the streets, Gwyn desperately tries to distract himself.
Cy: Mae'n mynd i bobl os mae'n edrych mewn ffenestri siop a chael ffurfiadau mewn pentyrrau o lyfrau mewn siop lyfrau annibynnol.
En: He avoids people as he looks into shop windows and forms shapes with stacks of books in an independent bookstore.
Cy: Ond mae ei feddwl bob amser yn dychwelyd i'r testun annymunol o ganlyniadau'r prawf meddygol.
En: But his mind always returns to the unpleasant subject of the medical test results.
Cy: Mae'r oerni'n codi wrth i'r diwrnod fynd rhagddo, felly Gwyn yn penderfynu aros am ychydig mewn caffi wrth gornel Heol y Frenhines.
En: The chill rises as the day progresses, so Gwyn decides to wait for a bit in a café at the corner of Heol y Frenhines.
Cy: Mae pobl yn canonio mochyn yn gyflym ac mae'r niwl bach sy'n codi o'r cwpanau coffi yn rhoi sylfaen i'r awyrgylch cosib.
En: People are chatting quickly, and the little mist rising from the coffee cups adds to the cozy atmosphere.
Cy: Eistedd Gwyn mewn cadair yna, edrychu allan drwy'r ffenestr ar y bywyd symudol y tu allan.
En: Gwyn sits in a chair there, looking out through the window at the moving life outside.
Cy: Yn sydyn, mae'r ffôn yn dirgrynu mewn clustpob.
En: Suddenly, the phone vibrates in his pocket.
Cy: Mae'n gefnogaeth o lais cyfarwydd, "Gwyn?
En: It's the reassuring voice of someone familiar, "Gwyn?"
Cy: " Mae'n Rhian ar y llinell.
En: It's Rhian on the line.
Cy: "Mae Dafydd wedi siarad â'r ysbyty.
En: "Dafydd has spoken to the hospital.
Cy: Maen nhw'n dweud bod popeth yn dda.
En: They say everything is good.
Cy: Mae popeth yn normal.
En: Everything is normal."
Cy: "Mae'r pethau syml hynny'n rhoi tawelwch i Gwyn o'r diwedd.
En: Those simple things finally bring Gwyn peace.
Cy: Mae ei ddylanwad yn digwydd fel cwmwl wedi'i chwythu gan y rhewgylch.
En: His burden lifts like a cloud blown away by the breeze.
Cy: Yn awr, mae golau newydd yn codi ar ei lwybr.
En: Now, a new light arises on his path.
Cy: Mae "Diolch, Rhian,” Gwyn yn ateb.

En: His mind fills with new plans, full of a sense of hope and optimism.
Cy: Wrth i'r prynhawn troi gam y nos, mae Gwyn yn gadael y caffi, yn ymroi, ac yn paratoi i brofi bywyd gyda gwerthfawrogiad newydd.
En: As the afternoon turns into evening, Gwyn leaves the café, eager and ready to experience life with a new appreciation.
Cy: Bydd pob diwrnod yn gyfrinach newydd, gyda sicrwydd a llawn gonestrwydd.
En: Each day will be a new secret, with certainty and full transparency.
Cy: Mae Caerdydd yn parhau i frechu wrth ei draed, a Gwyn, yn llawn bywyd, yma yn ei chanol.
En: Caerdydd continues to bustle at his feet, and Gwyn, full of life, stands in its midst.

Cy: Ond, wrth iddo ddechrau pacio, mae popeth yn mynd o chwith.
En: But as he begins to pack up, everything goes awry.
Cy: Heb feddwl ddwywaith, mae Gwilym yn tynnu gitâr mewn achos tebyg i’w hun.
En: Without thinking twice, Gwilym grabs a guitar in a case similar to his own.
Cy: Mae’n barod i fynd pan sylweddola rhywun, yn feddylgar, fod rhywbeth o’i le gyda’i gitâr.
En: He's ready to leave when someone, thoughtfully, realizes something is wrong with his guitar.
Cy: Mae ei gitâr go iawn wedi mynd, ac mae ganddo un arall yn ei le.
En: His real guitar is gone, and he has another one in its place.
Cy: Mae’r gynulleidfa’n dechrau diflannu wrth i Gwilym ddeall ei gam a'r dryswch sy’n ei wynebu.

Cy: Mae'r farchnad yn orlawn, ac yn sydyn mae'n sylweddoli na fydd yn hawdd canfod perchennog y gitâr ddirgel.

Cy: Un stondin y mae'n cerdded heibio yw stondin Carys, sy’n gwerthu crefftau llaw, ac mae wedi bod yn gwyliwr tawel o’r comedi.
En: One stall he walks past is Carys' stall, where she sells handmade crafts, and she has been a quiet observer of the comedy.
Cy: Mae hi’n cynnig ei help ar unwaith.
En: She offers her help immediately.
Cy: "Pam na wnewn ni berfformiad bach anffurfiol?
En: "Why don't we do a little informal performance?"

En: says Carys with a smile.
Cy: "Ben draw, gallwn denu’r gwir berchennog yn ein cyfeiriad.
En: "In the meantime, we might attract the real owner in our direction."
Cy: "Ac felly mae hi a Gwilym yn cynnull y torfeydd o amgylch gyda cân sionc a doniol.

Cy: " mae'n galw gan wenu’n fras, hapus i weld ei gitâr.
En: they call out with a broad smile, happy to see their guitar.
Cy: Yn y diwedd, gydag ychydig o chwerthiniad a rhyddhad, mae Gwilym yn cyfnewid gitârs gyda'r perchnogyn iawn, wrth edrych ar Garys gyda diolchgarwch mawr.

En: The event brings everyone closer together, remembering that life is not about the material things in this busy season, but about community and support.
Cy: Mae Gwilym, wedi dysgu gwers werthfawr, yn dweud ei ffarwel gyda chalon ysgafnach a dymuniadau gorau ar gyfer y Nadolig.
En: Having learned a valuable lesson, Gwilym says his farewells with a lighter heart and best wishes for Christmas.

Cy: Roedd bore'r hydref yn gynnes yn annisgwyl.
En: The autumn morning was unexpectedly warm.
Cy: Golau mis Tachwedd yn tywynnu trwy'r ffenestri haearn.
En: The November sunlight shone through the iron windows.
Cy: Roedd cysgodion hir yn dawnsio ar y llawr linoliwm.

Cy: Roedd yn siarad yn ddi-baid â Carys, y nyrs feddal.
En: He spoke continuously to Carys, the gentle nurse.
Cy: Roedd gwallt melyn golau Llew yn chwalu wrth iddo symud ei ben.
En: Llew's light blond hair fluttered as he moved his head.
Cy: "Carys, rhaid iddynt wrando arnaf i," meddai Llew, ei lygaid llawn pryder.
En: "Carys, they must listen to me," said Llew, his eyes full of concern.
Cy: "Mae rhywwir iawn ar fin digwydd.
En: "Something very real is about to happen."
Cy: "Roedd Carys yn gwybod am y doniau meddyliol sydd gan Llew.
En: Carys was aware of Llew's mental talents.
Cy: Ond roedd ei broblemau'n cuddio'r gallu hwnnw.
En: But his problems obscured that ability.
Cy: Gwyliodd Carys ef, ei chalon yn codi a dipyn yn deimlad o edliw.
En: Carys watched him, her heart lifting with a slight feeling of remorse.
Cy: Roedd hi am ei gymryd o ddifri.
En: She wanted to take him seriously.
Cy: Ond roedd y staff arall yn gweld y rhybuddion hyn fel symptom.
En: But the other staff saw these warnings as symptoms.
Cy: Roedd Emrys, y claf arall, yn prysur wylio o'r gwely cyfagos.
En: Emrys, the other patient, was busy watching from the nearby bed.
Cy: "Beth yw'r peth mawr hwn, Llew?
En: "What's this big thing, Llew?"
Cy: " gofynnodd ef, yn chwerthin braidd.
En: he asked, laughing slightly.
Cy: "Bydd chwledd natur yn brwydro yn erbyn ni," atebodd Llew, ei lygaid yn llawn posibiliadau.
En: "Nature's banquet will battle against us," answered Llew, his eyes full of possibilities.
Cy: Y noson honno, penderfynodd Llew.
En: That night, Llew decided.
Cy: Sgrifennodd bob manylyn yn ei lyfr nodiadau.
En: He wrote every detail in his notebook.
Cy: Penderfynodd Carys ei helpu, er gwaethaf amheuon.
En: Carys decided to help him, despite doubts.
Cy: Trwy weithredu, fe wnaeth Llew guddio'r ffaith am fwriad yr hyn yr oedd wedi'i weld.
En: Through action, Llew hid the intent of what he had seen.
Cy: Roedd y drafodaeth o'r natur fwy, y cyfarfod â'r seiciatrydd newydd yr oedd Llew wedi breuddwydio amdano.
En: There was talk of greater nature, the meeting with the new psychiatrist Llew had dreamed about.
Cy: Ar y pwynt tyngedfennol hwnnw, daeth y seiciatrydd ar ymweliad.
En: At that critical point, the psychiatrist visited.
Cy: Roedd Carys eisoes wedi rhoi gair iddo am Llew.
En: Carys had already mentioned Llew to him.
Cy: Aeth Llew at y meddyg, llyfr nodiadau yn ei law.
En: Llew approached the doctor, notebook in hand.
Cy: Siaradodd yn dawel, y geiriau'n dod allan fel rhywbeth sanctaidd.

En: The psychiatrist took a moment of true meaning to consider Llew.
Cy: Edrychodd yn ôl ar y llyfr nodiadau, yna ar Carys.
En: He looked back at the notebook, then at Carys.
Cy: Roedd yna seibiant.
En: There was a pause.
Cy: Bydde faath o gwrteisi a gwir ystyr, cyn iddo droi at Llew gyda chwilfrydedd bywiog yn llygaid.
En: A kind of courtesy and true meaning, before he turned to Llew with lively curiosity in his eyes.
Cy: Yn y pen draw, ni fu canlyniad cliriad pendant nac arwyddion ffisegol o'r rhai Llew ei weld, ond newidiwyd yn Lef.
En: In the end, there was no clear resolution or physical signs from those Llew had seen, but changes occurred within.
Cy: Erbyn nos, roedd Llew yn teimlo lleisio'r gwirionedd yn ei galon.
En: By night, Llew felt the truth resonate in his heart.
Cy: Carys deallodd mwy.
En: Carys understood more.
Cy: Roedd yn gweld Llew yn oleuni newydd.
En: She saw Llew in a new light.
Cy: Nid oedd y bygythiad allanol wedi mynd yn fyw, ond roedd Llew wedi ennill ychydig o gred a gobaith.
En: The external threat had not materialized, but Llew had gained a bit of belief and hope.
Cy: Roedd ei stori wedi twyllo, wedi'i glywed.
En: His story had deceived, had been heard.
Cy: Ac fe newidiodd Carys.
En: And Carys changed.
Cy: Roedd ei rolau fel gofalwr a chymorth i Llew wedi calcyn ei ffyrdd i ddarparu nag i benderfynu yn unig.
En: Her roles as a caregiver and support for Llew shaped her ways to provide rather than just decide.
Cy: Mae'r golau haul yn troi yn aur, a daeth yr hydref yn ddiogel ddau beth i'r ward.
En: The sunlight turned to gold, and autumn safely brought two things to the ward.
Cy: Roedd Llew a Carys wedi datrys eu gwrthdaro mewn ffordd unigryw a boddhaol, wrth i ddyffryn newydd arall ddod.
En: Llew and Carys resolved their conflict in a unique and satisfactory way, as another new valley emerged.

Story Transcript:
Cy: Mae’n ddiwrnod braf o hydref yng Nghaerdydd.
En: It is a lovely autumn day in Caerdydd.
Cy: Mae Gwenyth a Dafydd, dau ffrind estron ac agos, yn cerdded tuag at Gastell Caerdydd.
En: Gwenyth and Dafydd, two close and alien friends, are walking towards Castell Caerdydd.
Cy: Maent yn edrych ymlaen at daith hanesyddol dawel am ganrifoedd o hanes.
En: They are looking forward to a peaceful historical tour through centuries of history.
Cy: Mae Gwenyth yn hoff iawn o hanes, ond nid yw'n Hoff iawn o dorfeydd chwaith.
En: Gwenyth is very fond of history, but not crowds.
Cy: Mae Dafydd, ar y llaw arall, yn mwynhau anturiaethau a chwilfrydedd.
En: Dafydd, on the other hand, enjoys adventures and curiosity.
Cy: Ar ôl cyrraedd wrth giâtiau mawreddog y castell, llithren nhw i mewn i criw o bobl sy’n edrych ar fapiau ac yn gwrando'n astud.
En: After reaching the grand gates of the castle, they slipped into a group of people who were looking at maps and listening attentively.
Cy: Aethant yn ddigynnwrf i ymuno â nhw heb sylweddoli mai ail-gread hanesyddol oedd y grŵp, nid taith arferol.
En: They calmly joined the group without realizing that it was a historical re-enactment group, not a regular tour.
Cy: Roedd y tywysydd yn gwisgo gwisgoedd Canoloesol cywrain ac yn rhannu siocled poeth gyda'r criw, a ddechreuodd ogleuo prydlon i ben Gwenyth.
En: The guide was wearing elaborate Medieval costumes and sharing hot chocolate with the crowd, which began to waft enticingly to Gwenyth's nose.
Cy: Pan ddechreuodd y tywysydd gyflwyno'r aelodau i'w rolau, roedd Gwenyth yn teimlo ei chalon yn ysu.
En: When the guide began introducing the members to their roles, Gwenyth felt her heart race.
Cy: Roedd hi am daith dawel, ond erbyn hyn roedd cyfathrebu brwd a chwerthin o gwmpas yn taflu rhwystredigaeth ar ei phlws.
En: She wanted a quiet tour, but now there was lively communication and laughter around, casting frustration on her pulse.
Cy: Ceisiodd roi cam yn ôl yn dawel, ond sylwodd y tywysydd arni gan y rhai mwy eiddgar, ac annogodd hi i ymuno â hwy mewn brwydr ddewr.
En: She tried to step back quietly, but the guide noticed her among the more eager ones, and encouraged her to join them in a daring battle.
Cy: Tywynodd wyneb Dafydd wrth iddo gweld Gwenyth yn mynd arfoga gyda chleddyf pren.
En: Dafydd's face lit up when he saw Gwenyth arming herself with a wooden sword.
