Story Transcript:

Cy: Roedd awyrgylch parc cenedlaethol Eryri yn hudolus, gyda'r dail coch a oren yn crensiog dan draed Rhys a Cerys.
En: The atmosphere of Eryri National Park was enchanting, with the red and orange leaves crunching under the feet of Rhys and Cerys.

Cy: Oeri'r awyr llwwydd, ac roedd cyffro at ddarlun natur ar fin ymddangos yn ei brydferthwch hydrefol.
En: The grey air cooled, and there was an excitement at a picture of nature ready to emerge in its autumnal beauty.

Cy: Roedd Rhys a Cerys, dau ffrind, yn ymweld â'r parc hwn ar drip cerdded.
En: Rhys and Cerys, two friends, were visiting this park on a walking trip.

Cy: Rhys oedd yn edrych ymlaen at wneud argraff ar Gerys gyda'i sgiliau cerdded, ond mewn gwirionedd, roedd yn teimlo'n nerfus.
En: Rhys was looking forward to impressing Cerys with his walking skills, but in truth, he felt nervous.

Cy: Cerys, ar y llaw arall, roedd yn syml wrth ei fodd o fod allan yn natur, gan ddarganfod ysbrydoliaeth ar gyfer ei gwaith celf.
En: Cerys, on the other hand, was simply delighted to be out in nature, finding inspiration for her artwork.

Cy: "Rhys," meddai Cerys, tra roeddent yn crwydro'r llwybr, "mae'r golygfeydd yn wych, on'd ydynt?
En: "Rhys," said Cerys, as they roamed the path, "the views are great, aren't they?"

Cy: "Gwenodd Rhys, ond ei feddwl oedd ar y llwybr anodd o'i flaen.
En: Rhys smiled, but his mind was on the difficult path ahead.

Cy: "Ydy, mae'n anhygoel," atebodd, gan geisio cuddio'i bryder.
En: "Yes, it's amazing," he replied, trying to hide his concern.

Cy: Roedd Cerys yn sefyll ychydig o flaen, tra roedd Rhys yn edrych ar fap yn ei law.
En: Cerys was standing a little ahead, while Rhys was looking at a map in his hand.

Cy: "Beth am fynd i'r llwybr anoddach hwn?
En: "How about taking this more challenging path?"

Cy: " gofynnodd yn y diwedd, gan ddangos map i Gerys.
En: he suggested finally, showing the map to Cerys.

Cy: "Os wyt ti'n hyderus, Rhys," cydsyniodd Cerys, heb feddwl dim am ei broblemau posibl.
En: "If you’re confident, Rhys," Cerys agreed, without thinking much of his possible troubles.

Cy: Roedd hi mewn gwirionedd wrth ei bodd yn gweld Rhys mor llawn brwdfrydedd.
En: She was genuinely delighted to see Rhys so enthusiastic.

Cy: Wrth iddynt ddringo'r llwybr glaswelltog, dechreuodd Rhys deimlo'r gorlwythiad.
En: As they climbed the grassy path, Rhys began to feel overwhelmed.

Cy: Roedd ei anadl yn dod yn gyflymach, ond roedd yn dal i wthio ymlaen, gan wenu trwy'r anhawster.
En: His breathing came faster, but he continued to push on, smiling through the difficulty.

Cy: Roedd y llwybrau'n dechrau mynd yn fwy garw, ac roedd Rhys yn dechrau amau'i benderfyniad.
En: The paths were starting to become rougher, and Rhys began to doubt his decision.

Cy: Safodd Cerys wrth ymyl egin bedw, ei llygaid yn dangos cymeradwyaeth wrth edrych allan dros yr arfordir eang o goed.
En: Cerys stood by a birch sapling, her eyes showing approval as she looked out over the expansive coastline of trees.

Cy: "Rydym wedi cyrraedd y copa," gwaeddodd.
En: "We've reached the summit," she shouted.

Cy: Serch hyn, teimlai Rhys y synnwyr o syrthni.
En: Despite this, Rhys felt a sense of fatigue.

Cy: Mae'r haul yn dechrau machlud, gwyrddlas yn cymysgu â'r awyr las tywyll yn prysur a'r awyr wedi'i stafellnu yn hudolus gyda niwl.
En: The sun began to set, with green blending with the quickly darkening blue sky, and the air was magically layered with mist.

Cy: "Rhys, rhaid inni symud, nid yw'r nos yn bell ymaith," soniodd Cerys gyda daeriad llon.
En: "Rhys, we need to move; night isn't far off," Cerys mentioned with cheerful insistence.

Cy: Roedd hi'n sylweddoli annhwylltiad Rhys ond heb grynhan ddweud wrthyn.
En: She realized Rhys's unease but didn't feel the need to address it directly.

Cy: Wrth iddynt symud i lawr dechreuodd Rhys gytuno ei hun: nid yw'n bwysig i hyrddio treial ar ei gilydd, ond i rannu rhai profiadau gyda rhywun gwerthfawr.
En: As they moved down, Rhys started to reconcile within himself: it's not important to force trials upon each other, but to share experiences with someone valuable.

Cy: Cenedl rhai goleuni, ffurfiodd stondin o niwl trwchus, ac roedd y noswyl o Halloween yn rhoi bwrlwm i'r daith iadol olaf, ond roedd cyfeillgarwch Rhys a Cerys yn goleuo fel fflach lamp yng ngolau'r lleuad efydd.
En: As a nation of some light, a stand of thick mist formed, and the eve of Halloween added a thrill to the final ideal journey, but Rhys and Cerys's companionship shone like a flashlight in the light of the bronze moon.

Cy: Pan cyrhaeddasant y gwaelod yn ddiogel, roedd Rhys wedi newid ei wyneb.
En: When they reached the bottom safely, Rhys had changed his outlook.

Cy: Roedd yn gwybod yn awr bod cymdeithas gyda Cerys, a'r memories hyfryd hynny, yn bwysicach nag argraffiadau bras.
En: He knew now that companionship with Cerys, and those lovely memories, were more important than broad impressions.

Cy: "Braf oedd hwn," awgrymodd Cerys yn falch.
En: "That was nice," suggested Cerys proudly.

Cy: Roedd gan Rhys ymdeimlad o ddiolchgarwch.
En: Rhys felt a sense of gratitude.

Cy: Roedd ef yn ddiolchgar am ystyrio gwerth teithio gyda dy frindiau, a bod ei wir bresenoldeb yn bwysicach na'i ffurfiau perfformiad.
En: He was thankful for considering the value of traveling with friends, and that his true presence was more important than his forms of performance.

Story Transcript:

Cy: Roedd y gwynt yn chwythu’n ysgafn drwy'r coed wrth i Aneira a Cai gerdded yn Snowdonia.
En: The wind was blowing gently through the trees as Aneira and Cai walked in Snowdonia.

Cy: Roedd y planhigion yn lliw prydferth, oren a melyn, yn omli ar ben y tir wrth iddyn nhw symud ymlaen.
En: The plants were beautifully colored, orange and yellow, painting the landscape as they moved forward.

Cy: Roedd hi'n ddiwedd mis Hydref, a gallai'r ddau glywed y sŵn dail crensian o dan eu traed.
En: It was late October, and they could both hear the sound of leaves crunching under their feet.

Cy: "Heddiw yw'r diwrnod," meddai Aneira gyda disgleirio o gyffro yn ei llygaid.
En: "Today is the day," said Aneira with a sparkle of excitement in her eyes.

Cy: "Mae'n rhaid bod y bwncer yn rhywle yma.
En: "The bunker must be around here somewhere."

Cy: "Cai edrychodd o gwmpas yn brin o ffydd.
En: Cai looked around, lacking faith.

Cy: "Yn sicr, Aneira?
En: "Are you sure, Aneira?

Cy: Mae'r nos yn nesáu, ac mae’n Hawelog.
En: Night is approaching, and it’s getting dark."

Cy: "Mae'r ddau wedi clywed am hen chwedlau am fwncsyr cudd yn y parc achos tân lleol, ond heb neb erioed wedi ei weld.
En: They had both heard old tales of a hidden bunker in the local fire park, but no one had ever seen it.

Cy: Roedd Aneira wedi bod yn breuddwydio am yr antur hon ers misoedd, ond nawr roedd y gwynt oer o'r nos arnynt.
En: Aneira had been dreaming of this adventure for months, but now the cold wind of the night was upon them.

Cy: "Bydd e'n hwyl!
En: "It’ll be fun!

Cy: Ac mae straeon am y lle yn dweud ei fod yn llawn cyfrinachau a thrysorau," taranodd Aneira fel eu bod eisoes yn agored i'r byd cudd.
En: And the stories about the place say it's full of secrets and treasures," Aneira exclaimed as if they were already embracing the hidden world.

Cy: Aeth y ddau ymlaen ar hyd y llwybrau dan gysgodion ac oddi ar y ffordd, wrth chwilio am gliw, gwelodd Aneira gopaethyn cysgodol.
En: The two continued along the shadowy paths and off the beaten track.

Cy: Roedd fel dryswch coed o amgylch, yn canu'n araf fel petai'r coed yn adrodd chwedlau o hen amser.
En: While searching for clues, Aneira spotted a sheltered mound.

Cy: Goleuodd y wawr gyda chysgodion estynig, gan beri i Cai frwsio nerfedig ei fraich yn erbyn rhan o'r ddaear.
En: It was like a tangle of trees around them, singing softly as if the trees were recounting legends of old times.

Cy: "Rydyn ni mor bell o'r map.
En: The dawn lit up with stretching shadows, causing Cai to nervously brush his arm against part of the ground.

Cy: ""Ond edrycha, dyma e," galwodd Aneira'n fuddugoliaethus, yn codi cerrig i ddatgelu clo dryslyd.
En: "We are so far off the map..." "But look, here it is," Aneira called out triumphantly, lifting stones to reveal a puzzling lock.

Cy: Cafwyd chwithian o dwll tywyll.
En: A creak came from a dark hole.

Cy: Chwiliodd y ddau am funud mewn distawrwydd, cyn clywed sŵn lleisiau istwfft, fel petai einioes wedi byw'n hir yn y lleoedd anghysbell.
En: They searched quietly for a moment, before hearing the muffled sound of voices, as if having endured a long existence in these remote places.

Cy: "Dylem ni fynd yn ôl?
En: "Should we go back?"

Cy: " Cai anfwriadol ysgrifennodd.
En: Cai inadvertently wrote.

Cy: "Mae'n bryd inni wynebu ein hofnau," atgoffodd Aneira ei hun ac, wedi hynny, Cai.
En: "It's time to face our fears," Aneira reminded herself and, subsequently, Cai.

Cy: Roedd hi’n bryd i fynd i mewn a gweld beth sydd yno, gyda chalon gyflym.
En: It was time to go in and see what's there, with a fast-beating heart.

Cy: Roedd y ddau yn barod i gamu i’r anhysbys gyda’i gilydd.
En: Both were ready to step into the unknown together.

Cy: Gwasgodd y clo ac aeth y drysau i mewn, gan ddatgelu hen gyfarpar a llongau gwag, ond yn bwysicach, maen nhw'n sylweddoli bod antur o ddysgu eu hunain a'u cydymdeimlad yn werth y drafferth.
En: She pressed the lock, and the doors opened, revealing old equipment and empty vessels, but more importantly, they realized that the adventure of discovering themselves and their empathy was worth the effort.

Cy: Daeth y dydd i ben wrth iddynt rannu eu chwilfrydedd ac yntau ei wariaith yn uno ar yr ymdrech hon.
En: The day ended as they shared their curiosity, and their language fused in this endeavor.

Cy: Roedd hyn yn welliant oll.
En: This was an improvement overall.

Cy: Roedd Cai yn gwerthfawrogi gallu Aneira i wneud hynny, ac Aneira yn enillydd busnes Cai, wedi dod o hyd i hyder newydd drwy antur.
En: Cai appreciated Aneira's ability to do so, and Aneira as the winner of Cai's business, found new confidence through the adventure.

Cy: Roedd yn berson tawel, ystyriol, ac yn aml â'i drwyn mewn llyfr.
En: He was a quiet, thoughtful person, often with his nose in a book.

Cy: Roedd ei fwriad yn glir dros noswaith y gystadleuaeth: ennill cystadleuaeth stori Calan Gaeaf a chwmpasu'r gweddillion ei ofnau.
En: His intention for the night of the competition was clear: to win the Halloween story competition and to conquer the remnants of his fears.

Cy: Gallai'r fuddugoliaeth ddenu sylw teulu digon caredig i'w fabwysiadu.
En: Victory could attract the attention of a kind enough family to adopt him.

Cy: Ond roedd Gareth yn ansicr am ei allu i ddifyrru 'r gynulleidfa.
En: But Gareth was uncertain about his ability to entertain the audience.

Cy: Roedd ei hunan-amheuaeth yn gwasgu ar ei ysgwyddau Heepsango.
En: His self-doubt weighed heavily on his shoulders, Heepsango.

Cy: Ond, heddiw, wrth fynd drwy lyfrau'r llyfrgell haddeilad, daeth o hyd i hen lyfr wedi'i gladdu dan lwch.

Cy: Darganfod am Ddinas Goll Cantre'r Gwaelod a hanesion am y Tylwyth Teg.

En: Ideas began to flow.

Cy: Y noson gystadleuaethol, roedd pawb yn barod.

Cy: Gorau Sioeau, Mi mae i'w dalu plant mewn gwisgoedd fel cloc ar y brîn.
En: Best of Shows, children clad in costumes like clockwork.

Cy: Roedd Gareth yn sefyll ar y llwyfan, ei galon yn curo cryf.
En: Gareth stood on the stage, his heart beating strongly.

Cy: Wrth iddo adrodd ei stori, daeth y myth gweladwy yn fyw drwy ei eiriau:
En: As he narrated his story, the visible myth came alive through his words:

Cy: "Unwaith, mewn oes arall, roedd dinas Cantre'r Gwaelod yn blodeuo dan y môr...," aeth ymlaen Gareth, ei leisiau yn cryf a hyderus, yn goleuo ystafell â'i stori.
En: "Once, in another age, the city of Cantre'r Gwaelod flourished beneath the sea...," Gareth continued, his voice strong and confident, illuminating the room with his story.

Cy: Yr hyn sy'n denu oedd ei twist - beth pe bai'r haul yn dal i ddisgleirio drwy'r môr gormesol?
En: What drew them in was his twist - what if the sun still shone through the oppressive sea?

Cy: Roedd yr halltair o bleser yn ymddangos yn glir ar wynebau'r gynulleidfa a'r beirniaid.
En: The glint of delight appeared clearly on the faces of the audience and judges.

En: Gareth had won.

Cy: Doedd e ddim yn unig yn ennill cwpan, ond hefyd ennill hyder newydd.
En: He hadn't just won a trophy; he gained newfound confidence as well.

Cy: A rhodd, o lefaru ei stori ei hun, allai arwain ei annwyl at teulu newydd.
En: And the gift of voicing his own story could lead him to a new family.

Cy: Roedd y noson hon wedi newid popeth iddo.

Story Transcript:

Cy: Mae’r awyr yn drwm gyda’r arogl o goffi ffres wrth iddi droi'n hwyr yn ystod dathliadau Calan Gaeaf ym Marina Abertawe.
En: The air is heavy with the smell of fresh coffee as it turns late during the Calan Gaeaf celebrations at the Marina Abertawe.

Cy: Gwneir swyn hud o'r egin newydd a gwin pob man wrth i blant wisgo'u gwisgoedd ysbryd i gasglu pwdinau.
En: A magical charm is made from fresh shoots and mulled wine as children dress in their ghostly costumes to collect treats.

Cy: Ond heddiw, nid yw golwg falch Marina Abertawe y peth mwyaf diddorol.
En: But today, the proud sight of Marina Abertawe isn't the most intriguing thing.

Cy: Mae rhywbeth arall wedi cynhyrfu’r dref – gwrthrych dirgel yn nofio yn y dŵr.
En: Something else has stirred the town - a mysterious object floating in the water.

Cy: Eira, myfyrwyr prifysgol yn astudio bioleg y môr, sef ei hun wrth ymyl y dŵr, chwilfrydig a phryderus.
En: Eira, a university student studying marine biology, finds herself by the water, curious and anxious.

Cy: “Mae’n rhaid i mi ddarganfod beth yw e!” meddai hi wrthi hi ei hun, codi ei llygaid i Orwelon’r môr.
En: “I must find out what it is!” she tells herself, lifting her eyes to the horizon of the sea.

Cy: “Dim ond chwedl ydy e, Eira,” dywedodd Gethin, pysgotwr lleol gyda storiâu haerllug o uchder.
En: “It’s just a legend, Eira,” said Gethin, a local fisherman with tall tales.

Cy: Roedd ei wyneb, wedi ei lygru gan y gwynt môr, yn adleisio balchder a beirgyn.
En: His face, weathered by the sea wind, echoed pride and boldness.

Cy: “Mae pob chwedl yn gorfod dod o rhywle,” rhybuddiodd Eira, disgleirio o dan y golau llanw sy’n taro dros y cei.
En: “Every legend has got to come from somewhere,” Eira warned, shining under the tidal light that strikes above the quay.

Cy: Yn agos, roedd Caffi y Marina yn brysur gyda seciwencau o clecs a chlyfrau.
En: Nearby, the Caffi y Marina was bustling with sequences of gossip and chatter.
