Story Transcript:

Cy: Yn y môr o wefr a bryder, roedd Emrys, Carys, a thripod eu cynhyrfid Emrys yn barod i wynebu'r diwrnod mawr i gasglu Gethin o Orsaf Ganolog Caerdydd.
En: In the sea of excitement and anxiety, Emrys, Carys, and Emrys's tripod of enthusiasm were ready to face the big day to collect Gethin from Cardiff Central Station.

Cy: Roedd Haul yr haf yn sgleinio dros Bae Caerdydd, gan dramgwyddo pob ty a siop gydag euraid felyn.
En: The summer sun was shining over Cardiff Bay, adorning every house and shop with golden yellow.

Cy: Roedd y dŵr yn disgleirio fel croen mochyn wedi ei wau a’r gwynt môr yn swyno’r dorf.
En: The water sparkled like pigskin woven in and the sea breeze enchanted the crowd.

Cy: “Mae’n rhaid i ni gyrraedd yn brydlon,” meddai Carys, ei llais yn clymu’r aer â phwysigrwydd.
En: “We must arrive on time,” said Carys, her voice tying the air with importance.

Cy: Roedd hi’n poeni y byddent yn colli Gethin, y rhwyddfryd ffrind a oedd wedi bod drwy anffawd yn ddiweddar.
En: She worried that they might miss Gethin, the free-spirited friend who had recently been through misfortune.

Cy: "Peidiwch â phoeni," ateb Emrys, yn ceisio tawelu ei bryderon.
En: “Don’t worry,” replied Emrys, trying to calm her concerns.

Cy: “Nawn ni ddod o hyd iddo.
En: “We’ll find him.

Cy: Bydd popeth yn iawn,” meddai gan gyrru nhw i gyd ymlaen.
En: Everything will be fine,” he said, urging them all forward.

Cy: Roedd autobws Cymru’n aros wrth y gornel, yn agor ei ddrws yn fawr fel marmaled sy’n barod i gael ei dorri ar dost.
En: The Welsh bus waited at the corner, opening its door wide like marmalade ready to be spread on toast.

Cy: Roedd Emrys wedi cynllunio mynd at yr orsaf yn hudol, gydag eu camau yn ailadrodd hen ffyddlondeb celf a chwedl y ddinas.
En: Emrys had planned to go to the station magically, with their steps echoing the old loyalty of the art and legend of the city.

Cy: Ond cafodd pawb eu dychryn pan ddaeth drwg-hwyl i’w hwyneb i’w groesawu ar ganol y daith gyda’r newyddion syfrdanol.
En: But everyone was startled when mischief met their face in the middle of the journey with stunning news.

Cy: “Mae’r trên o Abertawe ar ei hôl hi,” datganodd y cyhoeddwr.
En: “The train from Swansea is delayed,” announced the broadcaster.

Cy: Emrys, gyda’i ysbryd anturus, roedd yn rhaid meddwl yn sydyn.
En: With his adventurous spirit, Emrys had to think quickly.

Cy: “Gadewch i ni fynd â llwybr arall,” awgrymodd, gan arwain Carys drwy strydoedd Caerdydd fel tywysog cyfarwydd gyda phaladr o ffrind a chanolbwynt unedig.
En: “Let’s take another route,” he suggested, leading Carys through the streets of Cardiff like a familiar prince with a beam of friendship and unified focus.

Cy: Troi yma, cario ymlaen yno, roedd yn rhaid iddynt frwydro’r traffig fel môr-ladron yn llwyr arglwyddiaethu’u llwybr.
En: Turning here, moving on there, they had to battle the traffic like pirates wholly owning their route.

Cy: Fodd bynnag, gwynt yr haul ar eu cuddieu roedd raid dyblu eu camau, gan wylo ar fwth cŵn taflu faglau.
En: However, the sun's wind on their backs made them double their steps, lamenting at the dog's booth throwing obstacles.

Cy: Pan oeddent yn cyrraedd y llwyfan, roedd sŵn y tren giogio wedi’u cyfarch fel côr o nythod adar haf.
En: When they reached the platform, the sound of the train chugging greeted them like a chorus of summer bird nests.

Cy: Delodd y tren i stop, a dyma Gethin yn y golwg.
En: The train came to a stop, and there was Gethin in sight.

Cy: Llawen oedd eu gafael, yn llawiau cynnil weithiodd llwysau tristwch ac aros yn chrys y wledd.
En: Their grasp was joyful, in gentle hands worked away the sadness and awaited the feast's glory.

Cy: Emrys a Carys yn sefyll yn gysuron wrth Gethin, a’r diwrnod marged rhai gastrakdo’n olau.
En: Emrys and Carys stood comfortingly with Gethin, and the day was a bright celebration.

Cy: Eisteddon nhw wrth lawr y Bae, yn fwynhau pob ceinder o’r rhosyn hen-sefydlig a’r ochon di-fwyd.
En: They sat by the bay, enjoying every elegance of the old-fashioned rose and the foodless delights.

Cy: “Mae’n dda cael gyda chi,” meddai Emrys, ei galon yn hym-gano gyda gwerthfawrogiad newydd.
En: “It’s good to be with you,” said Emrys, his heart singing with newfound appreciation.

Cy: Cafodd rhyddhad o lwys, o wybod ei ffrindiau’n gynghreirion o gerdd mawr Cyfyng Cerddyn.
En: He felt relief, knowing his friends were allies of a great song from Cyfyng Cerddyn.

Cy: Nodwyd ei long a’i gadarnhiad o gyffro naturiol, yn anfon nod Mon gydweithiol treiddio.
En: His solidarity and affirmation of natural excitement were noted, sending a cooperative tune of agreement.

Cy: Y dydd trimmewn byr, ond roedd ei phrydferthwch yn para hyd ei amser hiraf.
En: The day was short, but its beauty lasted as long as eternity.

Cy: Roedd Caerdydd yn ddinas aruthrol, ond ni welodd harddwch mwy eang dysg Emrys nac eraill, na’r digwyddiad syml o gyfeillgarwch a gweld rhywun annwyl yn ôl eto.
En: Cardiff was a formidable city, but Emrys and others had never seen broader beauty than the simple event of friendship and seeing a dear one again.

Story Transcript:

Cy: Yn gymdogaeth gartrefol, tafluodd heulwen hwyr yr haf ar draws y rhes o dai teras, lle roedd plant yn chwarae ar y strydoedd ac roedd teimlad o ddisgwyliad yn codi gyda dechrau’r ysgol yn nesáu.
En: In a cozy neighborhood, the late summer sunshine cast across the row of terraced houses, where children played in the streets and a sense of anticipation was rising with the start of school approaching.

Cy: Roedd Rhiannon yn drist wrth syllu allan o'r ffenestr y gegin, yn poeni am Emrys, eu mab benywaidd a oedd yn edrych ymlaen at ddechrau'r flwyddyn ysgol.
En: Rhiannon was sad as she stared out the kitchen window, worrying about Emrys, their girlish son who was looking forward to starting the school year.

Cy: Roedd ei gynorthwyo ef yn dod â phryder gwahanol.
En: Helping him brought its own kind of worry.

Cy: Ar y bwrdd o'i blaen, roedd rhestr o gyflenwadau ysgol.
En: On the table in front of her was a list of school supplies.

Cy: Disglodion, pensiliau, llyfrau - popeth yr oedd ei angen gan Emrys.
En: Scissors, pencils, books - everything Emrys needed.

Cy: Roedd y rhestr yn ymddangos yn ddiddiwedd, a rhoddai poen ym meddwl Rhiannon wrth feddwl am y treuliau.
En: The list seemed endless, and it pained Rhiannon to think about the expenses.

Cy: Roedd Gareth, ei gwr difater, ar lawr gwaelod yn plastro wal y cyntedd, wedi'i ddal yn brin yng nghyffro ei broject diweddaraf yn y tŷ.
En: Gareth, her indifferent husband, was downstairs plastering the hallway wall, absorbed in the excitement of his latest project in the house.

Cy: Doedd o ddim yn ymwybodol o'i phrinder.
En: He was unaware of her shortage.

Cy: “Beth am siarad â mein loyw? Gofyn am help,” meddyliodd Rhiannon.
En: “What about talking to bright mynahs? Ask for help,” Rhiannon thought.

Cy: Ond roedd ei hysbrydloneth yn crafu gwastraff yr hollolsiant.
En: But her inspiration scraped against the futility of the situation.

Cy: Yn lle hynny, penderfynodd wynebu Gareth.
En: Instead, she decided to face Gareth.

Cy: Pan aeth y dydd tuag at y nos, arhosodd Rhiannon iddo roi’r llawdrin i’w lef ar y fainc.
En: As the day turned to night, Rhiannon waited for him to set the trowel down on the bench.

Cy: "Gareth," dechreuodd yn bwyllog, ei eiriau’n drysu o’i ceg.
En: "Gareth," she began calmly, her words stumbling from her mouth.

Cy: “Mae angen i ni siarad am Emrys a’i bethau ysgol.”
En: “We need to talk about Emrys and his school things.”

Cy: Edrychodd Gareth i fyny, cochiad yn ei wedd wrth glywed y tensiwn yn ei llais.
En: Gareth looked up, a flush on his face at hearing the tension in her voice.

Cy: "Beth sy’n bod?" gofynnodd gyda sensitifrwydd newydd.
En: "What's wrong?" he asked with newfound sensitivity.

Cy: "Mae’r gost o bopeth," esboniodd Rhiannon, gan symud tuag at y bwrdd.
En: "It's the cost of everything," explained Rhiannon, moving towards the table.

Cy: "Dwi'n poeni sut y byddwn ni'n talu am bopeth."
En: "I’m worried about how we’ll pay for everything."

Cy: Roedd golwg Gareth yn meddalu, ac aeth ag ymael sydd wedi atto i edrych ar y rhestr hefyd.
En: Gareth's expression softened, and he joined her to look at the list as well.

Cy: Yn dawel, cawsant drafodaeth onest.
En: Quietly, they had an honest discussion.

Cy: Ddim am na chostau cudd, heb gysu llediaeth.
En: Not about hidden costs, without avoiding the real issues.

Cy: Dros y bore tatw, a’r dydd tan hynny, roeddent yn cynllunio eu cyllideb gyda’i gilydd.
En: Throughout the early morning, and the day since then, they planned their budget together.

Cy: Fe symudodd Rhiannon i lawr o bryder, yn teimlo cysylltiad newydd â Gareth, a gwybod roeddent wedi dod o hyd i ffordd ymlaen.
En: Rhiannon moved down from her worry, feeling a new connection with Gareth, knowing they had found a way forward.

Cy: Roedd Gareth, wedi cael ei ddeffro, yn fwy ymwybodol nawr o’r bwysau ariannol.
En: Gareth, having been awakened, was more aware now of the financial pressure.

Cy: Gan wylio Emrys yn cerdded allan i'r haul hwyr haf honno i ymarfer ar gyfer y flwyddyn ysgol newydd, roedd Rhiannon yn teimlo tawelwch o dan yr awyr las.
En: Watching Emrys walk out into that late summer sun to prepare for the new school year, Rhiannon felt peace under the blue sky.

Cy: Roedd popeth yn deimlad o gyfryngau cysylltiedig a diolchgarwch am ddechrau newydd y flwyddyn.
En: Everything was a feeling of connectedness and gratitude for the new beginning of the year.

Cy: Mae mab Emrys, Gareth a Rhiannon, a’r gobaith newydd yn eu calonnau.

Story Transcript:

Cy: Mi roedd yr haul haf yn tywynnu drwy ffenestri mawr Llyfrgell Ganolog Caerdydd, gan wresogi'r lle ac ychwanegu awyrgylch fywiog i'r brawddegau tawel o waith academaidd.
En: The summer sun was shining through the large windows of the Llyfrgell Ganolog Caerdydd, warming the place and adding a lively atmosphere to the quiet sentences of academic work.

Cy: Yr oedd llawer o fyfyrwyr yn brysur, ond yn y corneli mwyaf tawel, roedd tri ffrind, Eira, Cian, a Mabon, yn ceisio gwneud eu gwaith prosiect grŵp.
En: Many students were busy, but in the quieter corners, three friends, Eira, Cian, and Mabon, were trying to do their group project work.

Cy: Eira oedd y mwyaf pryderus.
En: Eira was the most anxious.

Cy: Teimlodd bod popeth angen bod yn berffaith.
En: She felt that everything needed to be perfect.

Cy: Roedd hi'n gwybod bod angen iddynt argraffu'r athro newydd gyda'r prosiect yma.
En: She knew they needed to impress the new teacher with this project.

Cy: Ond nid oedd hi'n gallu gwneud popeth ar ei phen ei hun.
En: But she couldn't do everything on her own.

Cy: Cian, ar y llaw arall, oedd y mwyaf ymlaciol.
En: Cian, on the other hand, was the most relaxed.

Cy: Roedd bob amser yn edrych o gwmpas y llyfrgell, yn hawdd ei dynnu oddi ar dasg.
En: He was always looking around the library, easily distracted from the task.

Cy: Mabon, gyda'i sypiau o bapurau yn llawn lluniadau a syniadau, oedd y mwyaf creadigol.
En: Mabon, with his piles of papers full of drawings and ideas, was the most creative.

Cy: Ond weithiau, roedd ei syniadau ychydig yn rhy gymhleth.
En: But sometimes, his ideas were a bit too complex.

Cy: “Mae arnom angen cynllun,” meddai Eira, yn edrych ar ei ffrindiau'n gobeithiol.
En: "We need a plan," said Eira, looking hopefully at her friends.

Cy: Roedd angen iddi gael trefn.
En: She needed to get organized.

Cy: "Rydw i'n cytuno," atebodd Mabon, yn ychwanegu, "Ond mae angen i ni wneud rhywbeth gwahanol, rhywbeth cofiadwy.
En: "I agree," replied Mabon, adding, "But we need to do something different, something memorable."

Cy: ""Beth am gael hoe?
En: "How about a break?"

Cy: " awgrymodd Cian, yn amlwg yn cael ei dynnu at un o'r llyfrau comics ar y silff nesaf.
En: suggested Cian, obviously drawn to one of the comic books on the next shelf.

Cy: Gwenodd Eira, yn gwybod bod angen compromise.
En: Eira smiled, knowing a compromise was needed.

Cy: "Rwy'n credu y gallom gyfuno'r ddau.
En: "I think we can combine both.

Cy: Rwy'n hapus i'ch helpu chi feddwl am syniadau newydd, am gyhyd â'r byddwn yn eu cadw'n syml a dealladwy.
En: I'm happy to help you come up with new ideas, as long as we keep them simple and understandable."

Cy: "Fe wnaeth Mabon brasurolio rhai o'i syniadau.
En: Mabon hurriedly wrote down some of his ideas.

Cy: Roedd Cian o'r diwedd yn canolbwyntio, yn addo gorffen y gwaith ysgrifenedig.
En: Cian was finally focusing, promising to finish the written work.

Cy: Felly, gwnaeth Eira reholaeth y cyfan a threfnu’r tasgau fel petai’n chwarae dau gainc mewn cyngerdd cywir.
En: So, Eira took control of everything and organized the tasks as if playing two pieces in a perfect concert.

Cy: Heb syndod, gwelodd problem.
En: Unsurprisingly, she spotted a problem.

Cy: Dechreuodd dadl boeth rhwng Cian a Mabon ynghylch cyfeiriad y cynllun.
En: A heated argument began between Cian and Mabon about the direction of the plan.

Cy: Roedd eu syniadau'n gwrthdaro.
En: Their ideas clashed.

Cy: "Stopiwch!
En: "Stop!"

Cy: " gwaeddodd Eira, gan godi ei law fel er mwyn sillafu heddwch.
En: shouted Eira, raising her hand as if to spell peace.

Cy: Symudodd Eira daldrwydd.
En: Eira moved decisively.

Cy: "Dw i’n credu bod angen i ni gyfuno creadigrwydd Mabon a symlrwydd Cian i wneud hyn yn gweithio.
En: "I think we need to combine Mabon's creativity and Cian's simplicity to make this work."

Cy: " Teimlai bod ganddi'r cyfaddawd perffaith.
En: She felt she had the perfect compromise.

Cy: Roedd her o’u blaenau, ond cytunodd Cian a Mabon ar ffrâm syniad hollol newydd yr oedd Eira wedi edrych drosto.
En: A challenge lay ahead of them, but Cian and Mabon agreed on a completely new idea framework that Eira had reviewed.

Cy: Fel tri organ mewn un corff, gweithredon nhw.
En: Like three organs in one body, they operated together.

Cy: Pan ddaeth y dydd i gyflwyno eu prosiect, roedd popeth yn daclus ac yn barod.
En: When the day came to present their project, everything was neat and ready.

Cy: Yr athro, a'r dosbarth, teimlodd syfrdan.
En: The teacher and the class were amazed.

Cy: Unigolion unigryw, gyda'u hymdeimlad o bwrpas, arddangosodd ddarn o waith a oedd yn gosod y bar yn uchel.
En: Unique individuals, with their sense of purpose, exhibited a piece of work that set the bar high.

Cy: Roedd Eira’n wên o glust i glust.
En: Eira was grinning from ear to ear.

Cy: Ar ddiwedd y dydd, nid roedd hi wedi dysgu dim ond gwerthfawrogi cydweithredu, ond hefyd i adnabod na allai unrhyw un ohonom wneud hynny ar ben ei hun.
En: At the end of the day, she not only learned to appreciate collaboration but also to recognize that none of them could do it alone.

Cy: Yn nghanol prysurdeb Llyfrgell Ganolog Caerdydd, roedd llonyddwch arbennig mewn cysgodion rhwng y silffoedd llawn llyfrau.
En: In the midst of the bustle at Llyfrgell Ganolog Caerdydd, there was a special stillness in the shadows between the shelves full of books.

Cy: Roedd yn ddiwrnod o haf, a phobl yn symud yn araf o gwmpas, yn chwilio am y teitlau perffaith i'w darllen wrth i'r haul godi tu allan.
En: It was a summer day, and people moved slowly around, searching for the perfect titles to read as the sun rose outside.

Cy: Yno, yng nghysgod y silffoedd, roedd dau berson heb wybod y byddai'u llwybrau'n cyfateb mewn modd annisgwyl.
En: There, in the shadows of the shelves, were two people who did not know their paths would intersect in an unexpected way.

Cy: Seren oedd yn edrych am gyfle i ysbrydoli ei llyfr newydd.
En: Seren was looking for inspiration for her new book.

Cy: Hi'n awyddus, ond hefyd braidd yn amheus o agor ei hun i eraill.
En: She was eager but also somewhat hesitant to open herself to others.

Cy: Wrth gerdded rhwng y silffoedd, ei llygaid yn chwilota am y teitl delfrydol, cipiodd lygad Seren ar lyfr ar nodiwyd ei ffocws.
En: As she walked between the shelves, her eyes searching for the ideal title, Seren's eye caught on a book that drew her focus.

Cy: Yn union weithiau, dihangodd llaw o gornel arall y silff.
En: At exactly the same time, a hand reached out from the other corner of the shelf.

Cy: Emrys oedd yr enaid hwn oedd yn rhannu'r un ddeier.
En: Emrys was the soul sharing the same desire.

Cy: Fel myfyriwr yn y brifysgol, roedd yn chwilio am rywbeth i danio'i angerdd academaidd, a mynd â fo i dir newydd.
En: As a university student, he was searching for something to ignite his academic passion and take him to new territories.

Cy: Roedd Emrys eisoes wedi pori trwy sawl genre, ond heb ddarganfod ei alwad.
En: Emrys had already browsed through several genres but had not discovered his calling.

Cy: "Fy nogaeth!
En: "My goodness!"

Cy: " meddai Seren gydag wên chwareus.
En: Seren said with a playful grin.

Cy: "Mae'n edrych fel ein bod yn handleuo am yr un llyfr.
En: "It looks like we're reaching for the same book."

Cy: "Emrys, gyda llygaid disglair a gwên annisgwyl, edrychodd arni'n ddoniol.
En: Emrys, with bright eyes and an unexpected smile, looked at her humorously.

Cy: "Efallai y dylwn ni gydweithio!
En: "Maybe we should collaborate!

Cy: Pwy a wyr, efallai welwn ni fyd newydd o dan ei gaead cyffredin?
En: Who knows, perhaps we'll discover a new world under its common cover?"

Cy: "Er bod Seren braidd yn amharod i ddechrau, roedd y syniad yn tynu iddi.
En: Although Seren was a bit hesitant to start, the idea intrigued her.

Cy: Cydweithio?
En: Collaborate?

Cy: Roedd yn swnio'n wahanol i'w arferion, ond efallai yn union beth oedd ei hangen.
En: It sounded different from her usual habits, but perhaps it was exactly what she needed.

Cy: Gyda nod eu llais yn canlyn, eisteddodd y ddau yn y caffi amlwg o fewn y llyfrgell.
En: With the sound of their voices leading the way, the two sat in the prominent café within the library.

Cy: Roedd arogl coffi ffres yn llenwi'r awyr, ac wrth y bwrdd bach, dechreuon nhw sgwrs ddwys am eu hoff lyfrau a'u breuddwydion dyfodol.
En: The smell of fresh coffee filled the air, and at the small table, they began a deep conversation about their favorite books and future dreams.

Cy: "Nid wyf erioed wedi meddwl am fynd i fyd addysgol trwy lygaid llenyddol," cyfaddefodd Emrys, tra roedd Seren yn gwrando'n astud.
En: "I've never thought about entering the educational world through literary eyes," admitted Emrys, as Seren listened attentively.

Cy: "Mae'n syniad diddorol, on'd yw?
En: "It's an interesting idea, isn't it?"

Cy: ""Mae llenyddiaeth wedi bod yn fy ochr erioed," atebodd Seren yn onest, "ond hyd yma, roeddwn i'n ansicr pa gyfeiriad ddylwn fynd gyda fy ysgrifennu.
En: "Literature has always been by my side," Seren answered honestly, "but until now, I was uncertain what direction I should take with my writing."

Cy: "Wrth i'r dydd droi'n brynhawn, roedd Seren ac Emrys wedi dod i ddeall bod eu llyfrgell berthynas newydd yn fwy na dim ond cofnod y noson.
En: As the day turned to afternoon, Seren and Emrys came to understand that their new library relationship was more than just the record of the night.

Cy: Addawwyd cyfarfod yn rheolaidd, am eu sesiynau darllen ar y cyd, a dechrau aeddfedu cerddediadau newydd yn y meysydd llenyddol.
En: They promised to meet regularly for joint reading sessions and to start nurturing new steps in literary fields.

Cy: Yn y diwedd, roedd Seren yn teimlo llenwi gyda hwb creadigol hyd i'r ymyl, mewn sefyllfa i ddychwelyd at ei ysgrifennu gyda brwdfrydedd adnewyddol.
En: In the end, Seren felt filled to the brim with creative energy, in a position to return to her writing with renewed enthusiasm.

Cy: Ar gyfer Emrys, roedd y byd llenyddol a arferai ddod yn fythol rhwng ei bysedd fel rhith, bellach yn teimlo'n fyw ac yn gogoniant.
En: For Emrys, the literary world that used to slip forever between his fingers like a mirage now felt alive and glorious.

Cy: Ac wrth bawb yn ffarwelio, nid oedd crwydriad dim ond drwy llinellau storïau bellach.
En: And as everyone said farewell, their wandering was no longer just through storylines.

Cy: Roedd eu cyfeillgarwch, wedi'i ffurfio rhwng tudalennau a phennau llyfrau, wedi dechrau ar daith newydd, segurdod o lysoedd, yn cael ei danio gan y tir gosmopolitan o Gaerdydd ynddi.
En: Their friendship, formed between pages and bookends, had embarked on a new journey, a leisure of courts, fueled by the cosmopolitan ground of Caerdydd within it.
