Story Transcript:

Cy: Yn haen o liwiau bywiog ac aroglau cyfoethog, y farchnad yn Nice oedd fel llun gan artist medrus.
En: In a layer of vibrant colors and rich aromas, the market in Nice was like a painting by a skilled artist.

Cy: Peiriannau bach yn chwapio eu hwythiennau o hwyl yno, wrth i Gwen a Rhys, dau ffrind o Gymru, gerdded drwy strydoedd cul y farchnad.
En: Little machines hummed their threads of cheer there, as Gwen and Rhys, two friends from Wales, walked through the narrow streets of the market.

Cy: Clyntyn y traeth Môr y Canoldir o'r pellter, pobol yn cymysgu o gaban i gaban, yr awyr yn cyfnewid o lwyd i las wrth i'r haul ddychwelyd.
En: The lapping of the Mediterranean Sea echoed from a distance, people mingling from stall to stall, the sky shifting from grey to blue as the sun returned.

Cy: Rhys oedd y rhybuddiwr doeth, yn oedolyn sydd yn caru rhifau a rhesymau.
En: Rhys was the wise cautioner, an adult who loved numbers and reason.

Cy: Ni allai peidio â themu am y gyllideb, tra roedd Gwen yn dilyn ei chalon ac yr aur o anturiaethau newydd.
En: He couldn't help but muse about the budget, while Gwen followed her heart and the allure of new adventures.

Cy: "A ydych chi wir yn credu y gallwn gymryd yr artist hwn am rywbeth mor ddrud?" gofynnodd Rhys wrth Gwen pan arosasant ger stondin ddiddorol yn llawn delweddau o hynafiaethau Ffrengig.
En: "Do you really think we can take this artist for something so expensive?" asked Rhys when they stopped by an intriguing stand full of images of French antiquities.

Cy: Gwen oedd yr efrydydd tyner, y daith yn bwysicach iddi na'r gyrchfan ei hun.
En: Gwen was the gentle scholar, for whom the journey was more important than the destination itself.

Cy: "Mae'r darn hwn yn llawn hanes," atebodd Gwen, ei llygaid yn glefri o gyffro.
En: "This piece is full of history," Gwen replied, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

Cy: Roedd y gwaith yn berfffaith, sêt ddynfanol ble trawyd gan oleuni'r bore.
En: The work was perfect, a captivating seat touched by the morning light.

Cy: "Ond... gwariad yw'r hynny," apeliodd Rhys eto, wrth edrych i'w oriawr.
En: "But... that's an expense," pleaded Rhys again, glancing at his watch.

Cy: "Mae'n rhaid i ni adael cyn bo hir."
En: "We must leave soon."

Cy: Ac yna, tynwyd eu sylw gan ddod o hyd i berfformiad stryd, sefydlwyd gan weithiwyr lleol â'u sêr dawnus, yn llawn o hwyl ac awen.
En: And then, their attention was drawn to a street performance, set up by local workers with their talented stars, full of fun and inspiration.

Cy: Bob amser y sigarets wedi'u bwrw i’r llawr, ac fe'u cawsant eu hudo.
En: Always the cigarettes cast to the ground, and they were captivated.

Cy: "Oh, edrychwch arnynt!" ganfu Gwen, gan anghelfydd am eiliad ei hamcanion.
En: "Oh, look at them!" exclaimed Gwen, forgetting her plans for a moment.

Cy: Y synnwyr o hunaniaeth dynol mor lwyr, mor llon.
En: The sense of human identity so complete, so joyful.

Cy: Er bod y cyrni'au yn taro'r gân olaf, roedd stondin yr artist yn barod i gau.
En: Even as the musicians hit the final notes, the artist's stand was ready to close.

Cy: Roedd hi'n weddill ychydig amser i wneud penderfyniad.
En: There was still a little time to make a decision.

Cy: Pwysigder y gwelliannau hynny, a pherffeithrwydd.
En: The importance of those improvements, and perfection.

Cy: A oedd ymdrechion Rhys yn parhau i hepgor?
En: Were Rhys's efforts still being overlooked?

Cy: Gan fynd yn ôl am y stondin, sylweddolodd Gwen fod gan Rhys bwynt.
En: Returning to the stand, Gwen realized that Rhys had a point.

Cy: "Rydyn ni yma i weithgareddau, nid i fydysawdau," dywedodd, gan godi'r cynnyrch swynol a argymhellodd Rhys — eitem o waith llaw, syml ond trawd, yn yr ymuno gyda'r celfyddyd, a nimioli'r ysbryd o'u taith.
En: "We're here for experiences, not universes," she said, picking up the charming item that Rhys recommended — a piece of handicraft, simple yet striking, blending with the art, and capturing the spirit of their journey.

Cy: Gyda'r eitem perffaith yn eu dwylo, symudon nhw'n gyflym drwy'r dorf, yn rhuthro i'r gorsaf tren, eu calonnau'n gyfoethog â llawenydd a ddaw o rannu eiliadau prin.
En: With the perfect item in hand, they moved swiftly through the crowd, rushing to the train station, their hearts rich with the joy that comes from sharing fleeting moments.

Cy: A phan godasant eu setiau ar y bwrdd tocynnau wrth fynd i'r tren, rhoddwyd ystyr i Gwen ar gyfer eu casgliad — mae profiadau yn euraur ganbwyll o goroni, wrth geisio dal y nos.
En: And when they placed their bags on the ticket counter as they boarded the train, a sense dawned on Gwen about their collection — experiences are the golden coins of memory, in pursuit of grasping the night.

Cy: Cyrhaeddwyd y tren mewn pryd, a'u brwsysg yn gyffredin, llawn o groeso a chwdd.
En: They boarded the train just in time, their haste shared, full of welcome and hug.

Cy: Sylweddold Gwen, mewn moment o ddistaw ac awel, nad oedden nhw ond ychydig o amser oddi wrth eu bryniau cartref.
En: Gwen realized, in a moment of quiet and breeze, that they were only a short time away from their home hills.

Cy: Roedd antur yr undeb perffaitlon yn y tawelaf Tawel iawn, wrth iddynt greu atgofion i greu si degawdau i ddod, o lawrlwytho'r gorffennol a llosgi'r dyfodol mewn gleinau sych.
En: The adventure of the perfect union was in the calmest quiet, as they created memories to last for decades to come, downloading the past and igniting the future in dry beads.

Story Transcript:

Cy: Wrth droedio i'r maes hyfforddi ger Parc Cenedlaethol Eryri, roedd hud bywyd yn disgleirio yn nhlysni'r gwanwyn.
En: As she walked to the training field near Parc Cenedlaethol Eryri, the magic of life sparkled in the beauty of spring.

Cy: Roedd llain o fannau blodau gwyllt yn teiddu'r tir, a gwynt ysgafn yn dwyn sŵn'r gloch yr hyfforddwyr o bell.
En: A strip of wildflower patches adorned the ground, and a gentle wind carried the distant sound of the coaches' whistle.

Cy: Merêd, chwaraewr rygbi penderfynol, oedd y cyntaf i gyrraedd, ei chalon yn curo gydag anticipiad a gofid.
En: Merêd, a determined rugby player, was the first to arrive, her heart beating with anticipation and anxiety.

Cy: Penderfynodd Merêd aros yn ôl ar ôl ysgol i ymarfer, ond wrth iddi redeg girosto, roedd yn teimlo pwysau'r llyfrau ysgol yn ei bag ar ei chefn.
En: Merêd decided to stay after school to practice, but as she sprinted, she felt the weight of school books in her backpack on her back.

Cy: Roedd yn gwybod y byddai'n rhaid iddi astudio'n hwyrach.
En: She knew she would have to study later.

Cy: Roedd hi'n anelu at sicrhau ei lle yn nhîm cychwyn y twrnamaint rhanbarthol, ond hefyd roedd yr arholiadau ysgol yn agosáu, a'r ddau yn fyd arall o bwysau.
En: She was aiming to secure her place in the starting team for the regional tournament, but school exams were also approaching, both worlds full of pressure.

Cy: Dechreuodd yr hyfforddiant pan gyrhaeddodd Gareth a Rhys.
En: The training began when Gareth and Rhys arrived.

Cy: Gareth, gyda'i orffwysaeth a'i feddwl tawel, oedd cefnogaeth fawr i Merêd.
En: Gareth, with his patience and calm mind, was a great support to Merêd.

Cy: Rhys, yn gadarn a phwerus, gynyddai'r ymgyrch, yn enwedig wrth iddynt baratoi ar gyfer y gêm hanfodol.
En: Rhys, strong and powerful, intensified the campaign, especially as they prepared for the crucial match.

Cy: "Rhaid inni ennill hyn," meddai Rhys yn gryf a thraddodiadol.
En: "We need to win this," Rhys said firmly and traditionally.

Cy: "Rydyn ni angen gwblhau fel tîm.
En: "We need to complete as a team."

Cy: "Roedd Merêd yn siarad â Gareth rhwng esgusodion chwarae.
En: Merêd spoke to Gareth between practice plays.

Cy: "Rwy'n teimlo fy mod yn colli'r ddau beth, ysgol a rygbi," torrodd hi draw.
En: "I feel like I'm losing both things, school and rugby," she interrupted.

Cy: "Dwi ddim yn gwybod os gallaf gyflawni o dan yr holl bwysau yma.
En: "I don't know if I can perform under all this pressure."

Cy: "Gwenodd Gareth yn garedig.
En: Gareth smiled kindly.

Cy: "Rydyn ni'n gwneud hyn gyda'n gilydd, Merêd.
En: "We're doing this together, Merêd.

Cy: Y peth pwysicaf yw i beidio â gorfeddwl.
En: The most important thing is not to overthink."

Cy: "Yn ystod y gêm ymarfer, aeth Merêd i ben gydag ymrwymiad llwyr.
En: During practice, Merêd went full throttle with total commitment.

Cy: Law yn llaw gyda'i chyd-chwaraewyr, llwyddodd i arwain ei thîm heibio'r gwrthwynebydd mwyaf heriol.
En: Hand in hand with her teammates, she managed to lead her team past the most challenging opponent.

Cy: Roedd ei harweinyddiaeth yn gyfan gwbl cynhwysol, a phob gân a chri yn cael ei ateb â phwer a chydlyniad.
En: Her leadership was entirely inclusive, and every song and shout was answered with power and cohesion.

Cy: Wedi'r gêm, gyda'r hwyliedig yn berchi a'r clinig wedi'i gwblhau, eisteddodd Merêd gyda'i thîm.
En: After the game, with the thrill still strong and training completed, Merêd sat with her team.

Cy: Penderfynodd newid ei dull, gan gytuno i greu amserlen fwy cytbwys.
En: She decided to change her approach, agreeing to create a more balanced schedule.

Cy: Ni fu'n haws ond roedd Merêd yn ymhyfrydu yn nadlu rhodd o amser yn gywir ac astudio a chwarae gyda llawnder.
En: It wasn't easy, but Merêd relished the gift of managing her time effectively, studying, and playing wholeheartedly.

Cy: Yn ddiwedd y diwrnod, ymestynnodd Merêd ei phoer yn y gwynt oerodd.
En: At the end of the day, Merêd stretched her spirit into the cool breeze.

Cy: Dysgodd werth y gofyniad am gymorth ac addasiad amser, yn credu nawr y gall sefydlu gyfuno ei breuddwydion a'i gobeithion heb eu llethu.
En: She learned the value of seeking help and adjusting time, now believing she could merge her dreams and hopes without being overwhelmed.

Cy: Dros amser, llwyddodd Merêd i gyflawni ei lle yn y tîm cychwyn a hefyd ystod dda yn yr arholiadau.
En: Over time, Merêd succeeded in securing her place in the starting team and also performed well in her exams.

Cy: Roedd hi wedi bod yn cam bach tuag at fawredd, ond roedd y wybodaeth yn ei gydbwyso.
En: It had been a small step towards greatness, but the knowledge balanced her.

Cy: Roedd y mynyddoedd yn gorchuddio'r llain hyfforddi gyda'u cynnig parhaol i ddysgu.

Story Transcript:

Cy: Wrth i'r haul godi'n araf dros Eryri, cynnau'r awyr gydag oren a phinc, cerddodd Llew ar hyd llwybr serth yng Nghoedwig Beddgelert.
En: As the sun slowly rose over Eryri, lighting up the sky with orange and pink, Llew walked along a steep path in Coedwig Beddgelert.

Cy: Roedd awel ysgafn yn llifo drwy'r coed a soniarus clust i'w newydd ei glywed.
En: A gentle breeze was flowing through the trees, serenading a new listener.

Cy: Ar ôl diwedd perthynas hir, roedd Llew yn chwilio am dawelwch ac ysbrydoliaeth ym mynyddoedd y parc.
En: After the end of a long relationship, Llew was searching for peace and inspiration in the mountains of the park.

Cy: Ei ffrind, Caradoc, oedd ag awgrymodd y daith gerdded, gan ddychmygu byddai rhywle mor brydferth yn cynnig cysur i'w feddwl.
En: His friend, Caradoc, had suggested the hiking trip, imagining that such a beautiful place would offer comfort to his mind.

Cy: Wrth i Llew nesatu'r copa, sylwodd ar wraig ifanc yn tynnu lluniau.
En: As Llew approached the summit, he noticed a young woman taking pictures.

Cy: Roedd hi fel petai pum troedfedd amser ac ôl-traed dwy anadl o'r clwydi, a golygai hynny y byddai wedi ei chlywed.
En: She seemed to be five feet of time and two breaths of footsteps from the hedges, which meant that he would have heard her.

Cy: Roedd am daflu cyhoedd i'w chymwysterau ar gyfer arddangosfa, a theimlai allu Diwwyliaddu bywiog pob man hyfryd o amgylch y parc.
En: She wanted to toss her qualifications towards an exhibition and felt she could "Diwwyliaddu" every lovely spot around the park.

Cy: Roedd hynny'n hwylus.
En: That was convenient.

Cy: "Hi," meddyliodd Llew yn dawel.
En: "Hi," Llew thought silently.

Cy: Roedd ei lygaid ar y pridd ond ei stori lay'n ochr a llaw.
En: His eyes were on the ground, but his story lay side by side with his hand.

Cy: Roedd y ferch heb ei darllen.
En: The girl hadn't read it.

Cy: "Shw'mae," atebodd hithau, ei choc yn serchus.
En: "Shw'mae," she replied kindly.

Cy: "Rydw i'n Rhiannon. Rwy'n tynnu lluniau'r parc ar gyfer prosiect."
En: "I'm Rhiannon. I'm taking pictures of the park for a project."

Cy: Gan crwydro 'mlaen, siaradodd Llew a Rhiannon am y caeau o flodau gwyllt a'r adar oedd yn canu'n awchus wrth iddynt gerdded.
En: As they wandered on, Llew and Rhiannon talked about the fields of wildflowers and the birds singing enthusiastically as they walked.

Cy: Roedd y ddau'n siarad a gwrandaw hyd nes cyrhaeddwyd golygfan oedd mor brydferth byth a hefyd.
En: They spoke and listened until they reached a viewpoint as beautiful as ever.

Cy: Serch hynny, roedd Llew yn dal i deimlo pechod yn ei galon.
En: Nevertheless, Llew still felt sin in his heart.

Cy: Fe methu oedd agor ei hun i bosibiliadau newydd.
En: He struggled to open himself up to new possibilities.

Cy: Roedd Rhiannon yn teimlo ychydig yn debyg; roedd hi'n deall bod gweithio yn bwysig, ond roedd bod ar ben ei hun yn boenus weithiau.
En: Rhiannon felt somewhat similar; she understood that working was important, but being alone was sometimes painful.

Cy: Ar y drydydd diwrnod, tra oeddwn ar daith arall, cododd cymylau trwm dros y top.
En: On the third day, while on another hike, heavy clouds gathered overhead.

Cy: Gachredodd y glaw yn gyflym, ac roedd rhaid iddynt redeg i geisio lloches yn gyflym.
En: The rain rushed in quickly, and they had to run to seek shelter swiftly.

Cy: Cwympon ni glogwyn fechan a glanhau dan gab gaban coed.
En: They found refuge under a small wooden cabin.

Cy: "Rwy'n gadael i adael popeth i fyny," meddai Llew, gan edrych yn syth i lygaid Rhiannon.
En: "I'm leaving everything up," Llew said, looking straight into Rhiannon's eyes.

Cy: "Ond, mae'r dynoliaeth, fel golau haul ar ddiwrnod gwanwyn, yn dod trwy fyw."
En: "But humanity, like the sunshine on a spring day, comes through living."

Cy: "Rwy'n deall hynny," atebodd Rhiannon, teimlo ei thraed yn ymestyn ar hyd llawr pren y caban.
En: "I understand that," Rhiannon replied, feeling her feet stretch along the wooden floor of the cabin.

Cy: Roeddent yn parhau i siarad, am eu hofnau a'u gobeithion.
En: They continued to talk about their fears and hopes.

Cy: Wrth fynydd defyn nhw atyb e'n para maes mae; roedd y cysylltiad yn gryf, grisial â facwentynol trwy sgwrs sy'n llifau ac yn gatu gwaredu diodyb.
En: As the mountain defined their purpose, the connection was strong, crystalline, and vibrant through flowing conversation that offered unexpected clarity.

Cy: Gweddillion diwrnod cyntaf dod â nhw i Safle'r Ganolfan Ystradfawr.
En: The remains of the first day brought them to Safle'r Ganolfan Ystradfawr.

Cy: Lleasant fudd-personigâd Llew a Rhiannon wedi dylanwadu ar y mynediad at anghyfrifol-gestyr agor hyfryd dwr brith, agor amryw newyddiau a syniadau newydd prosiect Rhiannon, cynhyrchodd hi ei syniadau yma â'i arddgynolaeth.
En: The personal impact of Llew and Rhiannon had influenced their access to an irresponsibly-gestured release of splendid water, opening new finds and new project ideas for Rhiannon, creating ideas here with her artistry.

Cy: Pan ddychwelsant i lawr i waelod y mynydd, roedd Llew a Rhiannon yn cadw llygad i lygad, teimlad ynddo ac y mae mwy na thebyg y ffordd yr oeddent am yn meddwl y dyfarnhen ar y chwalfa.
En: As they descended back to the base of the mountain, Llew and Rhiannon kept eye contact, feeling there was more than likely a way they intended to decide on the breaking moment.

Cy: Daeth i ben i gwrdd â gobaith, awydd am foddhad newydd ac yn hyfyw i weld eu henillau'r un amser arall.
En: It came to an end meeting hope, a desire for new fulfillment and alive to see their winnings another time.

Cy: Rhyddid Llew i edrych ymlaen, a chryfdra Rhiannon i eiliad.
En: Llew's freedom to look forward, and Rhiannon's strength for a moment.

Cy: Roedd realiti Eu byw newyddion, yn hwyrach, i gyfarwerth yl Tahun.
En: The reality of their new lives would later guide them to align together with the year to come.

Cy: Y bore hwnnw, bu glaw trwm yn Portmeirion.
En: That morning, there was heavy rain in Portmeirion.

Cy: Roedd yn wir syndod.

Cy: Roedd Gethin yn becso, "A fydd popeth yn cael ei ddinistrio?
En: Gethin was worried, "Will everything be ruined?"

Cy: " Ond pendronodd, oherwydd roedd Carys wrth ei ochr.
En: But he pondered, because Carys was by his side.

Cy: Nid oedd y glaw yn ei darfu hi o gwbl, roedd hi'n hapus i archwilio rhwng y defnynnau.
En: The rain didn't disturb her at all; she was happy to explore between the raindrops.

Cy: Nesa i'r gerddi ffrwythau, lle mae'r blodau'n chwalu'n chwa, daeth amneidiad o heulwen rhwng cymylau.
En: Next to the fruit gardens, where the flowers were blooming brightly, a ray of sunshine appeared between the clouds.

Cy: Gwelodd Gethin ei gyfle.
En: Gethin saw his chance.

Cy: Yna, saethodd Eleri gan gwtshio'r camera.

Cy: "Mae gen i rhywbeth i'w ddweud," meddai Gethin, ychydig yn ofnus ond yn benderfynol.

En: he asked, his voice filling the atmosphere.

Cy: Aeth Carys yn fud am ennyd, ei llygaid yn lled agored.

En: Then, he saw a glimmer of joy in her eyes, followed by laughter.

Cy: "Wrth gwrs!
En: "Of course!"

Cy: " rhialtodd.
En: she exclaimed.

Cy: Fe fachhedd ei fraich o amgylch ei wddf.
En: She wrapped her arm around his neck.

Cy: Roedd y glaw wedi stopio am y tro hwnnw, a Portmeirion yn edrych hyd yn oed yn fwy hudol.
En: The rain had stopped for that moment, and Portmeirion looked even more magical.

Cy: Eleri, sydd wedi dal y foment, yn cofnodi'r amser anarferol hwn.
En: Eleri, who had captured the moment, recorded this extraordinary time.

Cy: Gethin gwnaeth ddeall wedyn, nad oedd cywirdeb neu gynlluniadau yn bwysig.
En: Gethin then realized that precision or plans were not important.

Cy: Roedd y teimlad, y f'annwyl â'r foment, yn gwneud y trywydd yn berffaith.
En: It was the feeling, the love and the moment, that made the journey perfect.

Cy: Roedd y gwanwyn wedi dod gyda newid a chariad newydd.
En: Spring had come with change and new love.

Cy: Roedd y tri ohonynt yn cylchdroi'n dal y lluniau a rhannu hwyl, wrth i Portmeirion syfrdanu yn ei alaw lliwgar, gan gofio'r diwrnod arbennig hwnnw o gwanwyn.
En: The three of them circulated, taking pictures and sharing fun, as Portmeirion dazzled in its colorful melody, remembering that special spring day.

Story Transcript:

Cy: Yn nhawliau tebyg i gofebion sy’n pylu ar ben bryn, gorwedd Castell Dinas Brân mewn dirgelwch ac ymdeimlad o ddirgelwch diddiwedd.
En: Like monuments that fade at the top of a hill, Castell Dinas Brân lies in mystery and a sense of endless secrecy.

Cy: Roedd basteg moment yn sefydlogi’r awyr feddal o gwmpas y sarn sy’n disgyn i’r dyffryn, lle nad yw na’r dail blinedig na’r cerrig mudiadwy yn tarfu ar degan y wybodaeth.
En: A momentary silence settled the soft air around the path that descends into the valley, where neither the weary leaves nor the shifting stones disturb the tranquility of knowledge.

Cy: Y prynhawn hwnnw, o dan fflachiadau'r haul gwanwyn, cuddiodd Gwilym ei ben yng ngweithrediad cloddio.
En: That afternoon, under the flashes of the spring sun, Gwilym buried his head in the excavation activity.

Cy: Roedd ei olwg yn drwm â gobeithion uchel a phwysau amser.
En: His gaze was heavy with high hopes and the weight of time.

Cy: Gwilym, archaeolegydd go garw ond cariadus, oedd eisiau profiad y theori dadleuol a gafodd gan ei athro diweddar: bod Castell Dinas Brân yn safle o ddefodau derwyddol.
En: Gwilym, a rough yet loving archaeologist, wanted to experience the controversial theory provided by his late teacher: that Castell Dinas Brân was a site of Druidic rituals.

Cy: Ar gopa'r safle y mae ei gymheiriaid yn rhigol, mae Aeron a Meleri yn gweithio ochr yn ochr ag ef.
En: At the peak of the site where his companions were digging, Aeron and Meleri worked alongside him.

Cy: Meleri, gyda’i llygaid praff a'i lleisyn tawel, oedd yn amheus am ymgais hwyrach Gwilym.
En: Meleri, with her keen eyes and quiet voice, was skeptical about Gwilym's late endeavor.

Cy: “Mae angen gofal, Gwilym,” rhybuddiodd hi, “ac amser ar ben hyn oll.”
En: “Care is needed, Gwilym,” she warned, “and time on top of all this.”

Cy: Fodd bynnag, roedd Gwilym eisoes wedi gwneud ei benderfyniad.
En: However, Gwilym had already made his decision.

Cy: Rhywbeth yn y ffordd roedd golau’r haul yn crybwyll ar geiriau'r ymchwil hen a’i tynodd i dyllioni mwy nag a ganiatawyd.
En: Something in the way the sunlight hinted at the words of ancient research drew him to dig deeper than was allowed.

Cy: Dan noson las, cymerodd arfau agored ac aeth yn ddyfnach.
En: Underneath a blue night, he took open tools and went deeper.

Cy: Wrth iddo dyngu drwy’r llwydni a’r mwsogl, cyrhaeddodd Cerrig cain.
En: As he swore through the grayness and moss, he reached fine stones.

Cy: Roedd yn greadigol ei siap, gyda chymarweithau a thaw yno oedd amser wedi'u claddu o dan wôs ein dyddiau.
En: They were creatively shaped, with patterns and silence where time had buried them under the noise of our days.

Cy: Cafodd Gwilym y teimlad hwnnw trwy gadarnhau fflachiadau eglur o simbolau derwyddol.
En: Gwilym had that feeling confirmed by clear flashes of Druidic symbols.

Cy: Wrth iddo garthu’r cerrig, cychwynnodd y storm.
En: As he unearthed the stones, the storm began.

Cy: Gorffwysodd y gwynt yn glaw taranau uwch y castell.
En: The wind settled into a thunderous rain above the castle.

Cy: Dŵr yn llithro drwy’r breuddwyddio a chamau hanner di-ddefnydd oedd ar y tir diffrwyth hynafol.
En: Water slipped through the dreaming and the half-useless steps of this ancient barren land.

Cy: Roedd y tablet wedi gwlychu, rhydd o gwmpas ei egni.
En: The tablet was soaked, free within its energy.

Cy: Ond mae Gwilym yn gadarn.
En: But Gwilym was steadfast.

Cy: Gyda’i dwylo'n cryfhau a'i galon yn codi, rhoddodd ei hun wrth wraidd y pryder a pholoi'r darganfyddiad yn gyflymach.
En: With strengthening hands and a rising heart, he placed himself at the root of anxiety and polished the discovery faster.

Cy: Pan oedd y glaw yn peidio wrth lewyrch cyntaf y wawr, roedd cerflun cerrig yn ei ddwylo—heb niwed.
En: When the rain ceased at the first gleam of dawn, a stone carving was in his hands—unharmed.

Cy: Wrth i'r storm dawelu, ymunodd Meleri ac Aeron gyda Gwilym, y tablet ddoeth yn eu dwylo.
En: As the storm quieted, Meleri and Aeron joined Gwilym, the wise tablet in their hands.

Cy: Roedd tystiolaeth wedi'i thynnu allan o'r tir marwaidd wedi newid hamdden a phryder i llwyddiant a gobaith newydd.
En: Evidence pulled from the desolate land had transformed leisure and worry into success and new hope.

Cy: Deffrodd Gwilym y bore nesaf gyda’r hunanfwyaf hyder a hir-gwmwl gwybod pwy oedd ef teulu i athrylu ei athro.
En: Gwilym awoke the next morning with utmost confidence and a long-awaited understanding of who he was family to astonish his teacher.

Cy: Roedd y daith wedi ei wneud iddo deimlo agosach at y castell, a chloddi o berthynas newydd â’r hanes a’r gymuned wrth ei ochr.
En: The journey had made him feel closer to the castle and had carved a new relationship with the history and the community by his side.

Cy: Roedd hyn yn ddechreuad newydd, nid dim ond iddo fe ond i bawb a falle yn dal dau ddwy'i derwyddoedd henafol.
En: This was a new beginning, not just for him but for everyone who might once have held the ancient Druids' secrets.
