    Story Transcript:

    Cy: Wrth i'r haul esgyn dros goedion lliwgar St Fagans, roedd awel cynnes hydref yn chwythu drwy'r planhigion.
    En: As the sun rose over the colorful woods of St Fagans, a warm autumn breeze blew through the plants.

    Cy: Roedd Dylan a Carys wedi bod yn gweithio'n ddi-flino ar yr arddangosfa hanesyddol.
    En: Dylan and Carys had been working tirelessly on the historical exhibition.

    Cy: Wrth iddyn nhw sefyll heibio un o'r bwthyn to gwellt, roedd Dylan yn edrych dros y bocsys a chistiau llawn arteffactau.
    En: As they stood beside one of the thatched cottages, Dylan looked over the boxes and chests full of artifacts.

    Cy: Roedd ei lygaid yn ymgymryd â phob manylyn, sicrhau bod pob darn yn dilyn y cywirdeb hanesyddol uchaf.
    En: His eyes took in every detail, ensuring that each piece maintained the highest historical accuracy.

    Cy: Er hynny, roedd Carys, gyda'i llygaid llachar a'i meddyliau ar reddf, yn edrych ar y lle o bersbectif gwahanol.
    En: However, Carys, with her bright eyes and instinctive thoughts, looked at the place from a different perspective.

    Cy: Roedd hi'n credu bod angen i'r arddangosfa fod yn fwy na set o eitemau hen.
    En: She believed the exhibition needed to be more than just a collection of old items.

    Cy: I Carys, roedd angen i'r hanes ddod yn fyw, rywsut, i'r ymwelwyr, yn enwedig y rhai ifanc.
    En: To Carys, history needed to come alive somehow for the visitors, especially the young ones.

    Cy: "Mae'n ddi-flewyn-ar-dafod, Dylan," meddai Carys yn frwdfrydig, gan bwyntio tuag at un o'r storïau a ysgrifennodd ar gyfer y disglau rhyngweithiol.
    En: "It's straightforward, Dylan," Carys said enthusiastically, pointing towards one of the stories she had written for the interactive displays.

    Cy: "Mae'n rhaid i ni ddangos sut oedd y bobl yn byw, nid dim ond dangos beth oedd gynnon nhw.
    En: "We must show how people lived, not just what they owned."

    Cy: "Ond roedd Dylan yn grynu ychydig.
    En: But Dylan hesitated a bit.

    Cy: "Mae bwriad gwych yno, Carys," atebodd ef, "ond mae'n rhaid i ni barchu'r hyn yr oedd ein hynafiaid yn gadael ar eu holau.
    En: "There's a great intention there, Carys," he replied, "but we must respect what our ancestors left behind."

    Cy: "Y noson gynt cyn agor yr arddangosfa, cymerodd eu gwahaniaeth barn dro disgwyliedig.
    En: The night before the exhibition's opening, their difference in opinion took an expected turn.

    Cy: Roedd y ddau ohonynt yn paratoi'r adeilad, yn araf yn trefnu pob arteffact yn ofalus, pan waeddodd Carys, "Beth os gall ein technoleg ddod â'r stori hon yn fyw?
    En: Both were preparing the building, slowly arranging each artifact carefully, when Carys exclaimed, "What if our technology can bring this story to life?

    Cy: Nid yw pobl yn cael cyfle i gyffwrdd â hanes yn aml.
    En: People don't often get the chance to touch history.

    Cy: Mae'n rhaid ei wneud yn real.
    En: We have to make it real."

    Cy: "Cynnyddodd tensiwn, yn gryf fel y deilen hydref ar y coeden.
    En: Tension increased, as strong as the autumn leaf on the tree.

    Cy: Roedd Dylan yn gwybod pa mor bwysig oedd i gadw cywirdeb ond gwelodd hefyd angerdd Carys.
    En: Dylan knew how important it was to maintain accuracy, but he also saw Carys's passion.

    Cy: "Rwy'n gweld dy bwynt, Carys," dywedodd yn y diwedd, "Efallai ei fod yn bosib cyfuno'r hen â'r newydd.
    En: "I see your point, Carys," he finally said, "Maybe it's possible to combine the old with the new."

    Cy: "Ac felly, gyda thair munud ar ôl tan ddechrau'r arddangosfa, dewisodd Dylan a Carys greu arddangosfa lle byddai hanes a thechnoleg yn cydblethu.
    En: And so, with three minutes left until the exhibition opened, Dylan and Carys chose to create an exhibition where history and technology intertwined.

    Cy: Roedd hanes St Fagans yn teimlo'n llawer personol ac yn hygyrch i'r ymwelwyr.
    En: The history of St Fagans felt much more personal and accessible to the visitors.

    Cy: Roedd lleisiau cymeriadau hanesyddol yn fwynhau, a'r delweddau yn deffro ar y rhai sgriniau rhyngweithiol, wrth i bobl gerdded heibio.
    En: The voices of historical characters delighted, and the images awakened on the interactive screens as people walked by.

    Cy: Trwy weithio gyda'i gilydd, llwyddodd i greu arddangosfa a fyddai'n ddeniadol i bawb.
    En: By working together, they managed to create an exhibition that would appeal to everyone.

    Cy: Dechreuodd Dylan weld y gwerth mewn arloesedd Carys, a bu'r ddau o'u bodloniad personol wrth i'r ymwelwyr ifanc a hen wawrio ar eu gwaith.
    En: Dylan began to see the value in Carys's innovation, and both found personal satisfaction as young and old visitors marveled at their work.

    Cy: Llwyddodd St Fagans i adrodd ei hanes mewn ffordd newydd, diolch i ddealltwriaeth a chydweithio'r ddau guradur.
    En: St Fagans succeeded in telling its history in a new way, thanks to the understanding and collaboration of the two curators.

    Cy: Roedd hydref yn St Fagans yn edrych yn fwy trawiadol nag erioed, o flaen storïau a oedd yn dod yn fyw yn y gwynt rhewllyd.
    En: Autumn in St Fagans looked more striking than ever, in front of stories that came alive in the chilly wind.

    Story Transcript:

    Cy: Arwyddion yr hydref oedd ym mhob man.
    En: Signs of autumn were everywhere.

    Cy: Roedd coed y castell wedi troi lliw pigog o goch a melyn.
    En: The trees of the castle had turned a vibrant shade of red and yellow.

    Cy: Yma yn Nghastell Caerdydd, roedd gwledd i’r synhwyrau wrth i’r wlad ddathlu Dydd Sant Martin.
    En: Here at Castell Caerdydd (Cardiff Castle), there was a feast for the senses as the country celebrated Dydd Sant Martin (St. Martin's Day).

    Cy: Roedd y llawr ysgafn dan ei blanced o ddail yn crensian wrth i’r torfeydd godi awyrgylch llawen.
    En: The light ground under its blanket of leaves crunched as the crowds lifted a joyous atmosphere.

    Cy: Yn canol y dorf, roedd Rhys yn crwydro’n dawel o gwmpas.
    En: In the middle of the crowd, Rhys wandered quietly around.

    Cy: Roedd yn henwybodus am bob carreg a llith carreg o’r castell.
    En: He was intimately familiar with every stone and flagstone of the castle.

    Cy: Yn ei clyfrwch, dywedodd y gwirionedd i’s dorf; hanesion cânau’r mèini a chymeriadau’r gorffennol oedd yn ymwneud â’r lle.
    En: In his cleverness, he told the truth to the crowd; tales of the stones’ songs and the characters of the past who were connected with the place.

    Cy: Ar yr un pryd, roedd Cerys, athrawes gerdd tanbaid o Gaerdydd, yn mwynhau’r gerddoriaeth werin gydag Eira, ei ffrind bwrlwm.
    En: At the same time, Cerys, a passionate music teacher from Caerdydd (Cardiff), was enjoying the folk music with Eira, her lively friend.

    Cy: Cerddorfa Gymraeg yn llenwi’r awyr gyda chaneuon tawel a llawen.
    En: A Welsh orchestra filled the air with gentle and joyful songs.

    Cy: Cyfeillach brofiad, ond eto teimlodd Cerys awch am gysylltiad dwfn, rhywun i rannu'r hyn ysblennydd hyfryd gydag ef.
    En: It was a companionable experience, yet Cerys felt a longing for a deep connection, someone to share this splendid loveliness with.

    Cy: "Rhys!" gwaeddodd Eira, wrth ddal gafael ar yr hanesydd tawel.
    En: "Rhys!" called Eira, as she grasped the quiet historian.

    Cy: "Tyrd draw, mae rhywun rwy’n adnabod eisiau cwrdd â thi."
    En: "Come over, there's someone I know who wants to meet you."

    Cy: Rhys aeth i’r dorf gyda Eira, ychydig yn ansicr a phryderus.
    En: Rhys went into the crowd with Eira, a little uncertain and anxious.

    Cy: Pan ddaethant at Cerys, roedd ei lewys swynol a’i gwên agored yn ei groesawu.
    En: When they reached Cerys, her charming sleeves and open smile welcomed him.

    Cy: "Dw i'n hoffi hanesion Cymru," meddai hi yn gyfleus.
    En: "I like the stories of Wales," she said conveniently.

    Cy: "A fyddet ti’n meddwl dangos i mi gwmpas y castell?"
    En: "Would you consider showing me around the castle?"

    Cy: Aeth Rhys i chwilio am ei ddewrder.
    En: Rhys went searching for his courage.

    Cy: “Ydy, wrth gwrs! Mae mwy i’r castell hwn na sy’n soloeddio i’r llygad.”
    En: "Yes, of course! There is more to this castle than meets the eye."

    Cy: Dechreuodd Rhys a Cerys gerdded at y Neuadd Fawr, lle’r oedd sain berffaith delyn Gymreig yn gondemniad tawel rhwng waliau cerrig.
    En: Rhys and Cerys began to walk toward the Great Hall, where the perfect sound of a Welsh harp was a quiet proclamation between stone walls.

    Cy: Roedd eu hiechyd hwy'n clymu gyda phob tôn, pob stori fe wenodd e yn uniongyrchol â hi.
    En: Their connection thrived with every tone, every story where he smiled directly at her.

    Cy: “Bydd yn wych teithio drwy’r dreftadaeth Gymreig gyda hwythau fel arweinydd,” meddai Cerys wrth ffan eiddgar.
    En: "It would be wonderful to travel through Welsh heritage with you as a guide," Cerys said to the eager fan.

    Cy: “Ond bydd yn well gyda ffrind hefyd—beth am y ddau ohonom ni?”
    En: "But it would be even better with a friend too—how about the two of us?"

    Cy: Clywodd y gwahoddiad yn glir a glân.
    En: The invitation was heard clearly and purely.

    Cy: Am y tro cyntaf, teimlodd Rhys gysur bloddest iddo fynd â’i ddifyrrwch o’r gorffennol i’r dyfodol.
    En: For the first time, Rhys felt the comfort of taking his amusement from the past to the future.

    Cy: Wrth ymadael â’r neuadd, cytunodd y ddau i gyfarfod unwaith eto.
    En: As they left the hall, the two agreed to meet once again.

    Cy: Dyma’r lle y dechreuodd y ddau ei helfa ar gyfer dyfnhau wreiddiau.
    En: This was the place where they began to deepen their roots.

    Cy: Roedd y byd y gân, llôn a’r dreftadaeth bellach yn rhwym ag ymatebgarwydd enwog Cerys ac ysbryd y derfynol Rhys.
    En: The world of song, legend, and heritage was now intertwined with Cerys's notable responsiveness and Rhys's enduring spirit.

    Cy: Roeddent ill dau wedi dod i ben gwell y tu hwnt i’w cyfyngderau hwy.
    En: Both had come to the better end beyond their limitations.

    Cy: Yn Niger, yng ngolau braf yr hydref, roedd Cerys a Rhys yn croesi'r trawsnewidiadau, wrth iddynt chwarae o dan ymddangosiad yr hen Gastell Caerdydd.
    En: In the bright autumn light, Cerys and Rhys were crossing the transformations as they played under the guise of the old Castell Caerdydd.

    Cy: Roeddent wedi dechrau penod newydd bob un—yn wladgarwyr go iawn yng ngwlad cynhenid.
    En: They had begun a new chapter each—true patriots in their native land.

    En: During the busy autumn term, the science boys and girls gathered in the high school laboratory.

    En: A breeze of fallen leaves came in through the open windows, filling the air with the brightness of fall.

    Cy: Roedd Gareth, myfyriwr chwilfrydig gyda trywanu am arbrofion cemegol, yn plygu dros fyrddau llychlyd, ei fod yn cyfnewid yr holl offerynion cywir er ei brofiad mwyaf braf hyd yn hyn.

    En: "It'll be great," he mouthed, but while mixing the solution, he considered the warning to himself that balance was key.

    En: At the moment the reagent was added, an unexpected event occurred.
