Story Transcript:

Cy: Ar fore agoriadau'r haf, roedd Eira yn edrych ymlaen at ddiwrnod cyffrous yn y Sw Môr Bae Caerdydd.
En: On the opening morning of summer, Eira was looking forward to an exciting day at the Sw Môr Bae Caerdydd (Cardiff Bay Marine Zoo).

Cy: Roedd hi'n deithiwr newydd angerddol mewn bioleg morol, a phob crafangyn o wybodaeth yn achosi miri yn ei chalon.
En: She was a passionate newcomer in marine biology, and each tidbit of information caused excitement in her heart.

Cy: Yn y cysgodion, fe welodd Gwynn, y gard yn saff ar y fynedfa.
En: In the shadows, she saw Gwynn, the guard safely at the entrance.

Cy: Roedd Gwynn bob amser yn breuddwydio am ffoi o drefn ei ddyddiau arferol, ond roedd realiti’n ei gadw’n gaeth i’r llawr gwaith pob dydd.
En: Gwynn always dreamt of escaping the routine of his everyday life, but reality kept him bound to the work floor every day.

Cy: Ond wrth i'r haul fachlud, digwyddodd rhywbeth annisgwyl.
En: But as the sun set, something unexpected happened.

Cy: Roedd cloch brys yn tarfu ar ei meddyliau.
En: An emergency bell disturbed his thoughts.

Cy: Cyn i unrhyw un allu symud, cafodd y drysau eu cloi yn sydyn a'r goleuadau'n pylu i'r tywyllwch.
En: Before anyone could move, the doors were suddenly locked, and the lights dimmed into darkness.

Cy: Roedd Eira a Gwynn wedi'u dal yn y sw, dim allwedd yn allweddol.
En: Eira and Gwynn were trapped in the zoo, with no key in sight.

Cy: Roedd y sw môr fel anialwch tanddwr ag amser wedi'i restru.
En: The marine zoo was like an underwater desert frozen in time.

Cy: Roedd si wedi dirywio gan nad oedd neb arall yn y neuadd mawr.
En: There was no rumor left as no one else was in the great hall.

Cy: Gwynn a glywai mai Eira oedd yno hefyd.
En: Gwynn heard that Eira was there too.

Cy: Roedd hi'n gafael mewn chwys oer gan oedd hi'n ofni'r tywyllwch, ond roedd ei frwdfrydedd dros ddarganfod yn ennill.
En: She clutched in cold sweat because she feared the dark, but her enthusiasm for discovery prevailed.

Cy: "Rhaid i ni weld," meddai Eira wrth ei hun, ei llais yn crynnu, "beth sydd yma a pham."
En: "We must see," Eira said to herself, her voice trembling, "what's here and why."

Cy: Wrth iddynt symud ymlaen, roedd y lled-golau brys yn taflu cysgodion unigol y pysgod yn dawnsio ar y muriau gwydr.
En: As they moved forward, the emergency half-light cast the solitary shadows of the fish dancing on the glass walls.

Cy: Roedd yr ystafell brif danc yn edrych fel byd arall, gyda bywyd morol yn trysorau o'r tu mewn.
En: The main tank room looked like another world, with marine life as treasures within.

Cy: Gan ddawn o ddewrder a dechrau chwilfrydedd, cafodd Eira a Gwynn eu hunain yn sefyll o flaen y tanc mwyaf.
En: With a stroke of courage and burgeoning curiosity, Eira and Gwynn found themselves standing in front of the largest tank.

Cy: Torrodd Gwynn ei dawelwch gyda stori am ei freuddwydion i deithio: "Rwyf eisiau gweld cefnforoedd go iawn, nid dim ond yn fan hon."
En: Gwynn broke the silence with a story about his dreams of traveling: "I want to see real oceans, not just here."

Cy: Edrychodd Eira amser yn crwydro, gwrandawodd yn astud.
En: Eira lost track of time, listening intently.

Cy: Wrth iddynt sibrwd o flaen yr anialwch tanddwr, goleuodd y llusernwyr brys.
En: As they whispered in front of the underwater wilderness, the emergency lanterns illuminated.

Cy: Am foment, fe ddaliwyd y ddau yn y goleuadau tanbaid.
En: For a moment, the two were caught in the intense lights.

Cy: Pen-ffrwyth y môr oedd o'u blaen, yn chwistrellu golau i'r llaethlas o amgylch.
En: The sea anemone was ahead of them, casting light into the bluish glow around.

Cy: Ar y foment dygn, roedd popeth yn newid.
En: In that resilient moment, everything changed.

Cy: Roedd Eira'n gwybod ei fod hi'n gallu goresgyn ei hofnau.
En: Eira knew she could overcome her fears.

Cy: Gwelodd Gwynn y bywyd y tu mewn, ond hefyd gwelodd ffiniau hyllion ei feddwl am ddim gwireddu bywyd tu allan.
En: Gwynn saw the life inside, but he also saw the ugly boundaries of his thinking about never realizing a life outside.

Cy: Y bore wedyn, troi clociau yn ôl.
En: The next morning, the clocks turned back.

Cy: Dechreuodd machlud y goleuadau.
En: The lights began to fade.

Cy: Eilwodd Gwynn y dyn allweddol yn amserol.
En: Gwynn timely called the keyholder.

Cy: Roedd y ddau yn gadael y sw gyda mwy nag atgofion; roedd ganddynt freuddwydion newydd.
En: The two left the zoo with more than memories; they had new dreams.

Cy: Roedd Eira yn teimlo'n gadarn, parod i gamu drosto'r trosieddau.
En: Eira felt confident, ready to step over the transgressions.

Cy: Roedd Gwynn yn dadlau ysgolhaig ei feddwl i ddechrau'r antur ddihafal.
En: Gwynn was pondering his scholarly mind to begin the unparalleled adventure.

Cy: Roedd y daith gegog, ond y bore hwn, roedd yr haul yn codi i groesawu’r ddau yn ôl i’r byd real.
En: The path was daunting, but that morning, the sun rose to welcome them back to the real world.

Cy: Esgynwyd eu cyfeillgarwch newydd, yn barod i wynebu beth bynnag a ddaw.
En: Their newfound friendship soared, ready to face whatever may come.

Story Transcript:

Cy: Yn nhawlio'r haf, roedd yr haul yn tywynnu'n llachar ar ddeial y dref, a bu lleisiau pobl ifanc yn dodlaw yn y dref gan ddisgyn i'r môr o ddwr tawel yr Acwariwm Caerdydd.
En: In the sunny summer, the sun shone brightly on the town's sundial, and young people's voices echoed in the town as they descended into the calm waters of the Acwariwm Caerdydd.

Cy: Rywbryd, ar daith ysgol, roedd Eleri, Rhys a Carys yn dilyn eu athro drwy'r cymysg breswyl bywiog o fywydau morol.
En: On a school trip, Eleri, Rhys, and Carys were following their teacher through the lively residential mix of marine life.

Cy: Drwy'r gloywder tawel y coridorau golau-dim, roedd goleuadau'n dawnsio ar waliau'r tanciau gwydr.
En: Through the quiet clarity of the light-dim corridors, lights danced on the walls of the glass tanks.

Cy: Eleri, gyda'i llygaid mawr, llawn chwilfrydedd, crwydro'i llygaid dros bob tanc gan chwilio am greaduriaid tanddwr.
En: Eleri, with her large, inquisitive eyes, roamed over each tank searching for underwater creatures.

Cy: Plant eraill yn Gwennol Uwch yr Hen Goleg yn rhuthro o gwmpas, ond roedd Eleri'n arhosol mewn un man.
En: Other children from Gwennol Uwch yr Hen Goleg rushed around, but Eleri was stationary in one spot.

Cy: Roedd wedi darllen am seahors rare 'dros' glannau Cymru mewn llyfrau—seahors a chynnil sydd yn plwgio'i bryd.
En: She had read about rare seahorses 'over' the shores of Wales in books—a rare and delicate seahorse that captured her imagination.

Cy: Yn sydyn, fi Canfo Rhys, ei ffrind anturus a doniol ei golwg, yn camu ato.
En: Suddenly, Rhys, her adventurous and humorously looking friend, stepped up to her.

Cy: "Eleri,” ebe fo, “Dw i 'di clywed sôn bod 'na arddangosfa arbennig yn fan'na."
En: "Eleri," he said, "I've heard there's a special exhibit over there."

Cy: Rhys yn siarad o’r ardaloedd wedi eu cau ledled yr Aquariwm.
En: Rhys was speaking about the areas closed off throughout the Aquarium.

Cy: Gwelai Eleri babell gosach a phlwf batan sy’n tynnu’i sylw.
En: Eleri saw a bright tent and a fluttering flag that caught her attention.

Cy: Roedd arddangosfa fythynhoedd o seahors a wnaed newydd.
En: It was a newly made seahorse exhibit.

Cy: “Gwna i neb sylwi os bysa ni,” awgrymodd Rhys gyda chnawdaiad wrth ei lygad.
En: "No one will notice if we do," suggested Rhys with a twinkle in his eye.

Cy: Ni allai Eleri roi’r gorau iddynt, ond roedd Carys yn sylwi ar ei phryder.
En: Eleri couldn't resist them, but Carys noticed her concern.

Cy: “Beth ’ti’n meddwl?” gofynnodd Carys.
En: "What do you think?" asked Carys.

Cy: “Pam nad wyt ti’n gofyn i'n canllaw?”
En: "Why don't you ask our guide?"

Cy: Mae’r amser yn rhedeg allan, a phryder Eleri’n tynhau.
En: Time was running out, and Eleri's concern tightened.

Cy: Ond roedd ei ddiddordeb yn rhy gryf.
En: But her interest was too strong.

Cy: Roedd hi’n gwybod ei bod eisiau ein calon a’i weld ei hun.
En: She knew she wanted with all her heart to see it for herself.

Cy: Wedi llosg llawer o amser ei gofia, cytunodd i’r cynllun melltigedig Rhys.
En: After burning much of her memory's time, she agreed to Rhys's reckless plan.

Cy: Maen nhw'n sleifio rhwng y rhaffau.
En: They sneaked between the ropes.

Cy: Clywaent y dŵr yn lapio, a dyma nhw'n dod i’r tanc gyda’r afonydd tanddwr—yn cynnwys y seahors!
En: They heard the water lapping, and there they were at the tank with the underwater rivers—containing the seahorses!

Cy: Ond trwy’r drychein, mae llaw cynnes yn ymddangos ar ei hysgwyddau.
En: But through the commotion, a warm hand appeared on her shoulders.

Cy: "Disglair," llefarodd tywysydd cwrtais.
En: "Brilliant," spoke a courteous guide.

Cy: Er eu bod wedi'u dal, nid oedd ymateb y canllaw yn ddrwgdybir.
En: Even though they were caught, the guide's response was not suspicious.

Cy: Mabwysiadodd Eleri yn llonydd, a chyfodd ei hyder ar gorwynt.
En: Eleri was calm, and her confidence embraced the whirlwind.

Cy: Esboniodd hi'n daer am ei hoffter a'r cadernid 'r arenesis.
En: She explained earnestly about her fondness and the firmness of the dreams.

Cy: Gwnaeth hynny ddiffinio agwedd y canllaw, wrth iddo wrando'n astud.
En: This reshaped the guide's perspective, as he listened intently.

Cy: “Wel, profaist dy hoffter,” meddai Eleri.
En: "Well, you've demonstrated your passion," said Eleri.

Cy: Eisiau dysgu. Eisiau gwybod.
En: Wanting to learn. Wanting to know.

Cy: A chyda’i ochr, y tywysydd ymglanio’r plant yn y maes doddedig, gan arwain nhw drwy'r golygfa o seahors y merw.
En: And with their side by side, the guide took the children into the thawed area, leading them through the sight of the vibrant seahorses.

Cy: Pan ddaeth diwrnod i’w diwedd, ddiflannodd y goleuadau.
En: When the day came to an end, the lights disappeared.

Cy: Yn llygadau Eleri, roedd tanau newydd.
En: In Eleri's eyes, there were new fires.

Cy: Bydd rhyw dai’r môr wastad yn aros yn ei chalon, a bydd hi erioed yn ofni tryhydd ei llais.
En: Some sea homes would always remain in her heart, and she would never fear silencing her voice.

Cy: Ystyfnigodd Rhys i ddawn y dydd, a’r Cadlaysu yn nerth gwirionedd: yn min mynd droeon i oddef yr adndron, fynd heb atgofion mwyaf dros swrdd morol.
En: Rhys clung to the day's dawn, and Cadlaysu in the strength of truth: going round is to endure the enzyme, going without the greatest memories over a marine splash.

Cy: Dysgodd Eleri nad oedd llais bach yn dim o'i gymharu na gweledigaeth angladd; mae'n digwydd yn wynebu ofn cyn 'blygu'n agored, a heb un adeg yn ystod tyfiant ei dewrder.
En: Eleri learned that a small voice is not diminished compared to a funeral vision; it happens when facing fear before 'openly blooming,' and not once during the growth of her courage.

Cy: Yn ystod haf poeth yn y dref fach o Aberteg, roedd y coffi'n llifo'n rhwydd yn y rhost twist coffi lleol.
En: During a hot summer in the small town of Aberteg, the coffee flowed freely at the local coffee twist roastery.

En: Gareth, a man in his 30s with a carefree outlook, always enjoyed his morning trip to the roastery.

En: He loved the smell of roasted coffee beans filling the air and the sound of lively conversations filling the speckled walls.

Cy: Roedd ei ffrind boreol hefyd yn eistedd wrth fyrddau'r siop - llyfr poblogaidd.
En: His morning companion also sat at the shop's tables—a popular book.

Cy: Roedd Bronwen, barista talentog, yn defnyddio'r boreoedd tawel i arbrofi gyda chelf ewyn ar ben y lattes.
En: Bronwen, a talented barista, used the quiet mornings to experiment with foam art on top of lattes.

Cy: Wrth i Gareth sefyll yn y ciw, roedd llun ewyn celf arbennig wedi'i greu gan Bronwen yn dal ei lygaid.
En: As Gareth stood in line, a special foam art creation by Bronwen caught his eye.

Cy: Roedd patrwm cymhleth o ffurfion a symbolau yn arnofio ar wyneb ei goffi.
En: A complex pattern of shapes and symbols floated on the surface of his coffee.

Cy: Gareth, gyda'i dymher rhemp arferol, syniodd mai neges gyfrinachol oedd hyn.
En: Gareth, with his usual reckless temperament, suspected this was a secret message.

Cy: Aeth ei ddychymyg ar garlam heb ei ataliaeth.
En: His imagination raced unchecked.

Cy: "A yw Bronwen yn ceisio dweud rhywbeth?
En: "Is Bronwen trying to communicate something?"

Cy: " meddyliai, wrth ystyried ei fod yn neges o bwys.
En: he thought, considering it to be a message of importance.

Cy: Wrth iddo gyffroi a methu dehongli'r neges eiconig hon, cynyddodd ei dymefiadau.
En: As he excitedly failed to interpret this iconic message, his speculations grew.

Cy: "Efallai yw hi neges am foddion arbennig i groesi'r glannau!
En: "Maybe it's a message about special methods to cross the shores!

Cy: Neu a yw llwybr cudd i drysor?
En: Or is it a hidden path to treasure?"

Cy: " meddyliai'n uchel, gan ddal sylw'r rhai eraill yn y siop.
En: he pondered aloud, catching the attention of others in the shop.

Cy: Dywedodd Gareth yn frofiadol, ond gyda gwên ar ei wefusau, "Bronwen, dyma dy gyfrinachol lysenw!
En: Gareth said knowingly, but with a smile on his lips, "Bronwen, this is your secret nickname!"

Cy: " Pan ddaeth amser iddo, penderfynodd gael gair gydag y hi.
En: When the time came, he decided to have a word with her.

Cy: Wrth sefyll wrth gownter Bronwen, gyda'i synau garw, cwestiynodd yn drylwyr, "Beth yw ystyr dy ewyn?
En: Standing at Bronwen's counter with his rough tones, he questioned thoroughly, "What is the meaning of your foam?"

Cy: "Chwerthodd Bronwen yn gynnes.
En: Bronwen laughed warmly.

Cy: "O, Gareth annwyl, roedd hynny'n ddim ond ychydig o arbrofi gyda chelf ewyn," esboniodd hi gyda golau yn ei llygon.
En: "Oh, dear Gareth, it was just a bit of experimenting with foam art," she explained with a light in her eyes.

Cy: "Dim neges cudd, ond diolch am gymryd sylw mor fanwl.
En: "No hidden message, but thanks for noticing so closely."

Cy: "Cychwynnodd y siop gaffi gyfan i chwerthin, gan gynnwys Gareth ei hun.
En: The whole coffee shop burst into laughter, including Gareth himself.

Cy: "Wnes i ddimogi eto!
En: "I got carried away again!"

Cy: " chwarddodd betrus.
En: he laughed hesitantly.

Cy: Ond roedd yn dysgu derbyn ei wall a chroesawu rhyddid meddwl.
En: But he was learning to accept his mistake and embrace freedom of thought.

Cy: O'r cyfarfyddiad honno, gwelodd Gareth y gwerth yn y celf ei hun, heb angen ei droseddu.
En: From that encounter, Gareth saw the value in the art itself, without needing to interpret it.

Cy: Yn y pen draw, gorffennodd Gareth ei goffi gyda chalon ysgafnach a meddwl agored.
En: In the end, Gareth finished his coffee with a lighter heart and an open mind.

Cy: Roedd y diwrnod hafol wedi'i liwio nid yn unig gan lyfrau a beans coffi, ond iawn drwy ddysgu derbyn harddwch y foment a'r celfyddyd.
En: The summer day was colored not only by books and coffee beans but by learning to embrace the beauty of the moment and art.

Cy: Ac o'r diwrnod hwnnw ymlaen, bu ei bererindod boreol bob amser ag elfen o lawenydd, yn rhydd oddi wrth ei bryderon rhwng clustod cofrestriad a marcer o ewyn.
En: And from that day on, his morning pilgrimages always had an element of joy, free from his worries between a register’s hum and a foam marker.

Cy: Roedd wedi dioddef cur pen anhysbys am wythnosau, gan wneud ei waith yn straen.

En: The uncertainty and pressure of it all hindered his ability to enjoy even the simplest things.

Cy: "Aneira," meddyliodd Gethin, wrth iddo gamu'n araf tuag at y cownter.
En: "Aneira," thought Gethin, as he slowly stepped toward the counter.

Cy: "Hoffwn i gael fy nghyfla arwynebol o hwyl i ddod yn ôl.
En: "I wish I could reclaim my superficial sense of fun."

Cy: " Mae Aneira bob amser wedi bod yn rhywun sy'n darllen pobl yn dda.
En: Aneira was always someone who read people well.

Cy: Roedd hi'n siŵr a wyddai rhywfaint am broblemau Gethin.

Cy: "Mae gen i syniad," meddai Aneira, gan guddio gwên bach, "Beth am i ni greu rhywbeth arbennig heddiw?
En: "I have an idea," said Aneira, hiding a small smile, "How about we create something special today?"

Cy: "Doedd Gethin ddim yn siŵr.
En: Gethin was unsure.

Cy: Ond roedd rhywbeth yn yr olwg honno yn sicrhau bod tro gwael ei phen yn cael ei dawelu am y tro.
En: But something in that look assured him that his moment of turmoil would be quieted for the time being.

Cy: Teimlai ei gur pen yn cilio ychydig, fel uchelgrym o lawenydd o'r ochr hon sy'n ei ddifyrru.
En: He felt his headache ease a bit, like a joyful echo from the other side that entertained him.

Cy: Dywedodd wrth Aneira, "Mae'r gwaith yn brydferth.
En: He told Aneira, "The work is beautiful.

Cy: Diolch i ti.
En: Thank you."

Cy: "Fe wnaeth y barddoniaeth trawsnewid nid yn unig Gethin sy'n ceisio ffordd newydd o ddarlunio ei erthygl, ond hefyd Aneira.
En: The transformation enriched not only Gethin, who was seeking a new way to shape his article, but also Aneira.

Cy: Arweiniodd ei amynedd a'i chelf hi i weld nad oedd ei champwaith yn unig yn crisialu crogwyrwm ychwanegol o obeithion ac amynedd, ond bod ganddi bŵer i ddod â gobaith a thawelwch i eraill.
En: Her patience and art led her to see that her masterpiece not only crystallized an extra layer of hope and patience but also that she had the power to bring hope and calm to others.

Cy: Ymchwilodd i mewn i'w barodrwydd newydd i agor ei straen a gweld mai dyna'r ateb effeithiol i amgylchynion beunyddiol.
En: She delved into her newfound readiness to open up her stress and saw that this was the effective solution to daily hardships.

Story Transcript:

Cy: Dan doedd y haul yn dawnsio yn uchel yn yr awyr haf, roedd Eira a Glyn yn eistedd ar fainc o fewn muriau crand Abaty Tyndyrn.
En: Even though the sun was dancing high in the summer sky, Eira and Glyn sat on a bench within the grand walls of Tyndyrn Abbey.

Cy: Roedd pob carreg a phinnau ogof yn llawn hanes, yn cofleidio'r ddau gyda'u stoicedd.
En: Every stone and nook was filled with history, embracing the two with their stoic presence.

Cy: Roeddent wedi ymgynnull gyda grŵp bach o bobl ar gyfer encil tawel dan arweiniad, a'r ddymuniad yw cyrraedd tawelwch mewngwlad arferol.
En: They had gathered with a small group of people for a quiet retreat led by a guide, with the wish to achieve the usual inner peace of the countryside.

Cy: Eisteddai Glyn wrth ymyl Eira, yn tynnu sylw gyda gwên deg.
En: Glyn sat next to Eira, catching her attention with a gentle smile.

Cy: Roedd yn hawdd i Glyn chwilio'r golau mewn unrhyw sefyllfa, ond roedd Eira yn gobeithio y byddai'r encil yn dod â thawelwch a heddwch o fewn iddi.
En: It was easy for Glyn to find the light in any situation, but Eira hoped the retreat would bring calm and peace within her.

Cy: "Cyn i ddechrau'r sesiwn," meddalai Eira, "dim ond yr encil hon sydd ei angen arnaf.
En: "Before the session starts," Eira said softly, "it's just this retreat I need."

Cy: "Dechreuodd y sesiwn a daeth pob llais i dawelwch.
En: The session began and every voice fell silent.

Cy: Ond yna, ddechreuodd robin gân draw uwchben.
En: But then, a robin started singing above.

Cy: Roedd canu'r robin yn hardd, ond yn dybryd.
En: The robin's song was beautiful, yet urgent.

Cy: Bob tro roedd pawb yn mewnanadlu'n ddofn, roedd y robin yn dechrau eto gyda'i serenâd.
En: Every time everyone took a deep breath, the robin would start again with its serenade.

Cy: Roedd gan Eira awydd codi ei llaw a cheisio hogi'r robin i ffwrdd ond roedd rhywbeth mewn ymddigiad Glyn yn dal ei sylw.
En: Eira had the urge to raise her hand and try to shoo the robin away, but something in Glyn's demeanor caught her attention.

Cy: Agorodd Glyn un llygad, a chyflogodd ei gynffon sy'n well fel y ddewin mwyaf.
En: Glyn opened one eye and used his superior tail—a masterful talent.

Cy: "Fechgyn," meddai'n dawel, "dyma'r bwngog lleol," gwenuodd.
En: "Folks," he said quietly, "here's the local charmer," he smiled.

Cy: Roedd Eira'n chwilio am y tawelwch y tu mewn iddi, ond y robin bach hwn yn yr awyr yn ailadrodd ac yn gyrru'i amynedd bron i ffin.
En: Eira was searching for the calm within her, but this little robin in the air kept repeating itself, almost driving her patience to the brink.

Cy: Ym mryd pur o rwystredigedd, agorodd Eira ei llygaid a chroes ei henw ar weld Glyn yn copio'r robin gyda'u hunaniaeth gwenwynig canu, dod yn unig foment a'i alwedigaeth ei grisialu gyda gwen llawn digon.
En: In a pure moment of frustration, Eira opened her eyes and crossed her gaze on seeing Glyn mimicking the robin with his own toxic identity singing, becoming a single moment and clarifying his vocation with a full smile of amusement.

Cy: Codiodd chwerthin o'i swbconsiws a chymerodd amser dim yr amser i pipio drwy hi fel glaw tawel ar ddiwrnod o wres.
En: Laughter sprang from her subconscious and took no time at all to ripple through her like gentle rain on a hot day.

Cy: Cwympodd trwy elyn y robin ac ymsefydliodd, gyda Glyn wrth ei ymyl, cofleidiodd y chwerthin hwnnw.
En: It passed through the robin's antics and settled down, with Glyn beside her, embracing that laughter.

Cy: Gadawodd ei straen, a gwnaeth y syniad o daclo amynedd gronyn o ddoniolrwydd y robin ddidrafferth.
En: She let go of her stress, and the idea of dealing with her patience became a grain of humor, thanks to the robin.

Cy: Gan roi law ar ysgwydd Glyn, meddai, "Wel, y sesiywn yma wnaeth mwy o fudd i fi nag oeddwn i'n ei feddwl.
En: Placing her hand on Glyn's shoulder, she said, "Well, this session did more good for me than I thought."

Cy: "Dechreuodd Glyn chwerthin o dan bendron anadl yn bale euraidd nos ddrws y cyfnos.
En: Glyn began laughing under his breath as a golden pale evening approached the dusk.

Cy: "Weithiau, Eira bach, mae llawn tawelwch yn dod o ganol 'nghlwyddyn,' nid dim ond cyfrifon gyda neumonau.
En: "Sometimes, Eira dear, full tranquility comes from the middle of our drive, not just accounts with calmness," he said.

Cy: "Yn awyr wawr o ddewred i lawnfwy, fe wnaeth Glyn adlewyrchu caneuon y robin gyda Eira yn ymuno'n gynnes, roeddent yn medru cerdded ffwrdd â Neo senedd Tawelwch, cofio ffaith hynod wrthwyddog: weithiau, mae heddwch mewn chwerthin.
En: In the dawn air of bravery to full softness, Glyn echoed the robin's songs with Eira joining warmly, as they were able to walk away with Neo Peace Council, remembering the remarkably vivid fact: sometimes, peace is in laughter.
