Story Transcript:

Cy: Wrth i dail cochaidd yr Hydref chwythu heibio'r ffenestri mawr, roedd yr awyrgylch yn swyddfa'r corfforaeth yn drylwyn.
En: As the crimson leaves of Autumn blew past the large windows, the atmosphere in the corporation's office was tense.

Cy: Roedd Eira yn eistedd wrth ei desg gyda pen dynn, yn trio canolbwyntio.
En: Eira sat at her desk, with a tight expression, trying to concentrate.

Cy: Roedd problem fawr yn ei hwynebu - dogfennau pwysig wedi diflannu.
En: A major problem faced her - important documents had gone missing.

Cy: Roedd y cyfarfod mawr i fod i ddechrau mewn llai na hanner awr.
En: The major meeting was supposed to start in less than half an hour.

Cy: Roedd y swyddfa’n llawn bocsiau symud a llwch o'r gwaith ailwampio diweddar.
En: The office was full of moving boxes and dust from the recent renovations.

Cy: Roedd yn fyd o anhrefn, a hyd yn oed gyda'i threfnusrwydd arferol, teimlai Eira yn orbryderus.
En: It was a world of chaos, and even with her usual organization, Eira felt anxious.

Cy: Wrth i'r haul Hydrefol llusern golau o liw aur trwy'r paneli gwydr, roedd angen help arni.
En: As the Autumn sun cast a golden light through the glass panels, she needed help.

Cy: Gwnaeth Eira ei ffordd at ddesg Gwyn.
En: Eira made her way to Gwyn's desk.

Cy: Roedd Gwyn yn hamddenol fel arfer, yn poryw ar yr un stori ar-lein, chwerthin ar ei ffôn.
En: Gwyn was as relaxed as ever, browsing the same online story, laughing at his phone.

Cy: Roedd yn arferiad syml i'r swyddfa feddwl mai'r dyn aven ar Gundlwyn yn ofalus ydoedd, ac roedd hynny'n cythruddo Eira.
En: It was a simple habit in the office to think of him as the careful "aven man on Gundlwyn," and that irritated Eira.

Cy: Eto, roedd arni angen cymorth.
En: Yet, she needed help.

Cy: "Efallai gallet ti fy helpu i?
En: "Perhaps you could help me?"

Cy: " gofynnodd Eira, gydag ychydig o ansicrwydd yn ei llais.
En: asked Eira, with a bit of uncertainty in her voice.

Cy: "Wrth gwrs, Eira," medd Gwyn, gan roi'r ffôn i lawr.
En: "Of course, Eira," replied Gwyn, putting the phone down.

Cy: "Beth yw'r cliw cyntaf?
En: "What's the first clue?

Cy: Fe allwn ni ddod o hyd iddynt os ydyn ni’n meddwl tu allan i'r bocs.
En: We can find them if we think outside the box."

Cy: " Roedden nhw'n chwilio trwy ffeiliau a phapurau ar draws y swyddfa, roedd yr amser yn ticio.
En: They searched through files and papers across the office, time ticking away.

Cy: Eira'n teimlo'r pwysau'n cryfder cyferbyn â sêr y dydd.
En: Eira felt the pressure mounting compared to the day's stars.

Cy: Roedd y llythyrwon a'r ffeiliau yn edrych i gyd fel un peth mawr.
En: The letters and files all seemed like one big mess.

Cy: Ond, roedd Gwyn yn dal i'w hamser i feddwl tuag at y cerrig mân cudd a oedd wedi eu lleoli bron ar ochr y swbstradau symud.
En: However, Gwyn took his time to think about the hidden pebbles located nearly at the edge of the moving substrates.

Cy: "Hei," medd Gwyn, wrth iddo fynd tuag at un o'r pentyrrau o gyflenwadau adeiladu.
En: "Hey," said Gwyn, as he went toward one of the piles of building supplies.

Cy: "Beth am edrych yma?
En: "How about we look here?"

Cy: "Wrth ofalu symud rhyw reiad a bwrdd llawn amlap a ffolderau, gwelodd Eira y ffolder glas.
En: Carefully moving some kind of wainscoting and a table full of envelopes and folders, Eira saw the blue folder.

Cy: "Ti dod i wneud?
En: "You found it?"

Cy: " roedd Gwyn yn wên.
En: Gwyn was smiling.

Cy: Roedd ei gwythiennau yn pwyso, eto roedd y lliniaru yn y newydd hwn.
En: Her veins were pulsing, yet there was relief in this news.

Cy: "Diolch, Gwyn," dywedodd Eira.
En: "Thank you, Gwyn," said Eira.

Cy: Wedi ichi symud pob thoe ac atodiad i'w lle, cyrhaeddodd yr ystafell gyfarfod ynghynt nag roeddent yn disgwyl.
En: After moving every attachment and document into place, they arrived at the meeting room sooner than expected.

Cy: Roedd Eira'n disgleirio o ddiweddglo iechyd.
En: Eira was glowing with a sense of healthy completion.

Cy: Yn ystod y cyfarfod, trafodwyd dogfennau'r prosiect heb gymhedru.
En: During the meeting, the project documents were discussed seamlessly.

Cy: Wrth i'w chydweithwyr ddatgan eu hedmygedd at ei threfnusrwydd, roedd Gwyn yn derbyn clod am ei graffter.
En: As her colleagues expressed admiration for her organization, Gwyn was praised for his insight.

Cy: Teimlai Eira ddiolchgar iawn.
En: Eira felt very grateful.

Cy: Roedd ei golwg wedi newid - gwaith tîm oedd hwn.
En: Her outlook had changed - this was teamwork.

Cy: Dysgodd Eira bod cydweithio yn dod â gwerth a chreadigrwydd.
En: Eira learned that collaboration brings value and creativity.

Cy: Fe wnaeth hefyd newid y ffordd roedd yn gweld Gwyn.
En: She also changed the way she saw Gwyn.

Cy: O fath newydd oedd y dyn, y llen iddo gael ei godi.
En: He was of a new kind, the veil lifted from him.

Cy: Roedd arni'i golygu trius pâl y dyfodol i raddedigion, gyda datganiadau'n cael eu gwefru a'r cloegwent yn parhau.
En: She set about planning a bright future for the graduates, with declarations being charged and the mystery continuing.

Cy: Roedd y swyddfa'n edrych fel maes rhyfedd ond roedd y gwir ymgyrchu yn ddidwyll.
En: The office looked like a strange field, but the real campaign was sincere.

Cy: Roedd mewn gwirionedd newydd ddechrau.
En: It had, in fact, just begun.

Story Transcript:

Cy: Roedd awyr yr hydref yn oer ond llawn addewid wrth i Eira gerdded trwy'r caeau ger Castell y Bere.
En: The autumn air was cold but full of promise as Eira walked through the fields near Castell y Bere.

Cy: Roedd y dail lliwgar yn chwythu o gwmpas, yn adlewyrchu lliwiau'r cynhaeaf.
En: The colorful leaves blew around, reflecting the hues of the harvest.

Cy: Roedd y castell, hen a chadarn, yn sefyll yn dawel fel tyst o'i gorffennol.
En: The castle, old and sturdy, stood quietly as a witness to its past.

Cy: Tir oedd hwnnw ble roedd Eira wedi treulio ei phlentyndod.
En: This land was where Eira had spent her childhood.

Cy: Roedd blynyddoedd wedi pasio ers i Eira adael ei thref fach Gwlad Cymreig, a bellach roedd hi wedi dychwelyd, yn gobeithio sefyll wyneb yn wyneb â'i gorffennol a chyflawni rhywbeth newydd - cytgord gyda'i theulu.
En: Years had passed since Eira left her small Welsh town, and now she had returned, hoping to confront her past and achieve something new—harmony with her family.

Cy: Roedd hi'n dyheu am weld ei frawd, Gethin, a'i chwaer, Carys, ond y tensiwn yn ei stumog oedd yn drwm fel carreg.
En: She longed to see her brother, Gethin, and her sister, Carys, but the tension in her stomach was heavy as a stone.

Cy: Pan gyrhaeddodd at ddrws y fferm, roedd anadl dwfn yn ei chymryd cyn clymu'r drws.
En: When she arrived at the farm door, she took a deep breath before knocking.

Cy: Roedd Carys yno i'w cyfarch, ei hwyneb yn dangos cymysgfa o sioc a syndod.
En: Carys was there to greet her, her face showing a mixture of shock and surprise.

Cy: "Eira!
En: "Eira!"

Cy: " fe waeddodd hi, gyda lled-daniad llawen yn ei llais.
En: she exclaimed, with a hint of joy in her voice.

Cy: "Hei, Carys," atebodd Eira yn ansicr.
En: "Hey, Carys," replied Eira uncertainly.

Cy: Roedd eu cweryleolaeth ddiwethaf yn llunio cysgod rhwng y ddwy, ond roedd nawr amser i ddod â goleuni.
En: Their last quarrel cast a shadow between them, but now it was time to bring light.

Cy: "Sut mae pethau?
En: "How are things?"

Cy: "Roedd y sgwrs yn araf i ddechrau, ond wrth iddynt gerdded tuag at y caeau, dechreuodd Eira ddatgelu mwy o'i theimladau.
En: The conversation was slow at first, but as they walked toward the fields, Eira began to reveal more of her feelings.

Cy: "Dwi'n dyheus am roi'r gorau i bob sgrith weddill rhyngom ni," meddai wrth Carys yn isel.
En: "I long to let go of any remaining grudges between us," she said quietly to Carys.

Cy: Clywodd Carys y gwirionedd yn lleisio Eira ac am y tro cyntaf ers flynyddoedd, teimlai empathi.
En: Carys heard the truth in Eira's voice and, for the first time in years, felt empathy.

Cy: Roedd Gethin yn y caeau, wedi ymrwymo'n llwyr i’w ymwneud â'r cae.
En: Gethin was in the fields, fully committed to his work.

Cy: Gwelodd Eira ef o bell ac arhosodd lle roedd hi, mewn pryder o'r hyn a ddaw nesaf.
En: Eira saw him from afar and stayed where she was, anxious about what would come next.

Cy: "Hei, Gethin," dywedodd wrth iddo symud tuag ati.
En: "Hey, Gethin," she said as he moved toward her.

Cy: Roedd wyneb ei frawd yn anodd i'w ddarllen, yn harddu’r oerni yr oedd hi’n ei deimlo.
En: Her brother's face was hard to read, embodying the chill she felt.

Cy: "Tybed yno," meddai ef yn ysgafn, ond roedd calon cynhesach dan y wyneb.
En: "Imagine that," he said lightly, but there was a warmer heart beneath the surface.

Cy: "Mae'n rhyfedd.
En: "It's strange.

Cy: Mae'n hir ers i mi fod yma," cyfaddefodd Eira, yn gwneud ymdrech i fasglu'r courage i barhau.
En: It's been so long since I was here," Eira confessed, gathering the courage to continue.

Cy: Datblygodd y sgwrs tuag at ddadleuon y gorffennol.
En: The conversation shifted towards past disagreements.

Cy: Roedd Eira'n siarad am yr ymdeimlad o gael ei chuddio hyd ei maddeuant, rhaid gwneud bod yn agored â'i brawd.
En: Eira spoke about the feeling of being hidden until her forgiveness, needing to be open with her brother.

Cy: Roedd gweld cyfrinachau ei chalon yn drwm, ond pan siaradodd Gethin ei wirionedd ei hun, roedd Eira’n synnu faint o gamddeall a chreithiau cudd oedd yn bodoli rhwng y ddau.
En: Exposing her heart's secrets was heavy, but when Gethin shared his own truth, Eira was surprised by how much misunderstanding and hidden scars existed between them.

Cy: "O'n i byth yn gwybod ti'n teimlo fel 'na," dywedodd Gethin gyda chynhesrwydd newydd yn ei lygaid.
En: "I never knew you felt that way," Gethin said with newfound warmth in his eyes.

Cy: "Gad i ni geisio.
En: "Let's try."

Cy: "O fewn y prydnawn hir hwnnw, tua ddiwedd y dydd, ymddangosodd digon o ddealltwriaeth newydd rhwng Gethin, Carys, ac Eira i roi gobaith newydd iddynt.
En: Within that long afternoon, towards the end of the day, enough new understanding appeared between Gethin, Carys, and Eira to give them new hope.

Cy: Daeth yr hydref gyda'i liwiau i ddangos y gall y tymhorau newid, ond hefyd y gall pobl.
En: Autumn came with its colors to show that seasons can change, but so can people.

Cy: Wedi i'r haul osod dros y bryniau a'r caeau, roedd y tri yn dal ei gilydd mewn cwtsh, gyda'r addewid tawel a ddysgodd Eira - bod gonestrwydd a gofal yn allweddol i wella ein perthynas â'r bobl sy'n bwysicaf.
En: As the sun set over the hills and fields, the three held each other in an embrace, with the quiet promise Eira had learned—that honesty and care are keys to healing our relationships with the people who matter most.

Cy: Roedd y Castell a'r caeau yno fel cyfeillion hynaf, yn dyst i ailgomisiynu teulu.
En: The castle and the fields were there like old friends, witnessing the reuniting of a family.

Story Transcript:

Cy: Yng nghanol y golau melyn a'r coch o ddodrefn hydref yn Eryri, roedd Eira yn teimlo'r awyrgylch yn newid o fewn ei henaid.
En: In the midst of the yellow and red glow of autumn furniture in Eryri, Eira felt the atmosphere shift within her spirit.

Cy: Roedd y llethrau'r parc cenedlaethol fel seithfed nef i rywun sy'n chwilio am awyrennau newydd wrth droi ymaith o brysurdeb y ddinas.
En: The slopes of the national park were like a seventh heaven for someone searching for new horizons while turning away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Cy: Roedd y coed derw a’r pinwydd yn disgleirio wrth iddynt baenti'r llwybrau gydag ymdeimlad o heddwch naturiol.
En: The oak and pine trees shimmered as they painted the paths with a sense of natural peace.

Cy: Roedd Gŵyl y Cynhaeaf yn yr arfaeth, ond roedd yma rai oriau cyn y ddathliad i fwynhau'r tawelwch.
En: The Harvest Festival was upcoming, but there were some hours before the celebration to enjoy the tranquility.

Cy: Ar y daith, welodd Eira Rhys, yn edrych ar ddail ffres sy'n disgyn i'r llawr fel paent ar gynfas.
En: On the journey, Eira saw Rhys, looking at fresh leaves falling to the ground like paint on a canvas.

Cy: Roedd y dyn yn annibynnol ac yn weddus, yn ymddangos fel rhywun a oedd yn gyfarwydd â helyntion natur.
En: The man was independent and decent, appearing as someone well-acquainted with the ways of nature.

Cy: Rhoddodd Rhys grin tawel wrth iddi basio, y math o wên sy'n adlewyrchu mwy o lawenydd na geiriau.
En: Rhys gave a quiet smile as she passed by, the kind of smile that reflects more joy than words.

Cy: "Gwelais ti'n astudio planhigion," meddai Eira yn ysgafn, yn torri'r distawrwydd gyda'i llais cyfeillgar.
En: "I saw you studying the plants," said Eira lightly, breaking the silence with her friendly voice.

Cy: "Beth ydyn nhw'n dweud i ti heddiw?
En: "What are they telling you today?"

Cy: ""Maen nhw'n dweud mai'r hydref yw'r amser gorau i arafu ac i werthfawrogi harddwch sy'n dwyn hadau newydd," atebodd Rhys, llais hamddenol a llygaid llawn deall.
En: "They tell me that autumn is the best time to slow down and appreciate the beauty that bears new seeds," answered Rhys, with a relaxed voice and eyes full of understanding.

Cy: Wrth i'r ddau gerdded ochr yn ochr, clywai Eira adfywiad o gynnhedd a chyfeillgarwch sy'n cryfhau wrth drafod pob seren a dyfrlwyn maen nhw’n croesi.
En: As the two walked side by side, Eira felt a renewal of warmth and friendship strengthening as they discussed every star and meadow they crossed.

Cy: Ond yn sydyn, llewyrchodd awyr lasgwn a llifodd cawod o law, gorfododd Eira a Rhys i chwilio am loches.
En: But suddenly, a sky of deep blue shone, and a shower of rain fell, forcing Eira and Rhys to seek shelter.

Cy: Dyma ddod o hyd i adeilad cerrig traddodiadol.
En: They found a traditional stone building.

Cy: Yng nghyfyngder y lloches, trodd eu sgwrs i fannau dyfnach.
En: In the confines of the shelter, their conversation turned to deeper places.

Cy: Rhannodd Eira stori am ffrind a adawodd niwed yn ei hôl, tra dywedodd Rhys am galon wedi’i dorri.
En: Eira shared a story about a friend who left wounds in her wake, while Rhys spoke of a broken heart.

Cy: "Does dim mor bwerus â bod â mwynhad geri natur," meddai Eira, gan feddwl am undod newydd.
En: "There's nothing as powerful as finding enjoyment in nature," said Eira, contemplating a new unity.

Cy: "Nid pob dail sy'n syrthio yw diwedd stori.
En: "Not every falling leaf marks the end of a story.

Cy: Mae'n geni newydd," meddai Rhys mewn cytgord tawel.
En: It's a new beginning," said Rhys in a quiet agreement.

Cy: Pan gwelodd haul yr hydref eto, gwybrenodd eu wynebau fel torfolaeth yr awyrgylch.
En: When the autumn sun shone again, their faces brightened like the bustling of the atmosphere.

Cy: Roeddent yn prysur gyfeirio eu ffordd yn ôl tuag at ddathliadau'r ŵyl, chwerthin gan sefydlu gobaith newydd.
En: They were busily directing their way back toward the festival celebrations, laughing and establishing new hope.

Cy: Y tro cyntaf roedd Eira wedi cyd-ddeall â rhywun gymaint ers amser hir, a Rhys sylweddolodd pa mor agored oedd ei galon eto.
En: Eira felt understood by someone for the first time in a long while, and Rhys realized how open his heart was again.

Cy: Roeddent yn gwybod yn iawn bod hwn ond yn ddechrau ar eu taith mewn byd llawn posibiliadau.
En: They knew very well that this was just the beginning of their journey in a world full of possibilities.

Cy: Dyma ddechrau o gyfeillgarwch a allai ddarparu goleuni drwy'r ddau.
En: This was the start of a friendship that could provide light for both of them.

Cy: Wrth iddynt gerdded yn ôl drwy goed haul, addawodd Rhys a Eira gwrdd eto, i fynd ar drywydd byd natur a'u perthynas newydd yn y gwanwyn sydd i ddod.
En: As they walked back through the sunlit woods, Rhys and Eira promised to meet again, to pursue the world of nature and their new relationship in the coming spring.

Cy: Roeddent ill dau wedi dod wyneb yn wyneb â'r ansicrwydd o adeiladu perthnasau newydd.
En: Both had faced the uncertainty of building new relationships head-on.

Cy: Enillodd Eira hyder wrth ail-gasglu gwelltiadau, a dangosodd Rhys i’w fod yn barod i agor ei galon unwaith eto.
En: Eira gained confidence as she regrouped improvements, and Rhys demonstrated that he was ready to open his heart once more.

Cy: Fel hyn, er i'r cymylau a'r glaw gwneud hebrwng, gan hydrefu'r dydd, dechreuodd stori newydd hefyd.
En: Thus, even though clouds and rain had accompanied them, making the day feel like autumn, a new story also began.

Story Transcript:

Cy: Yn nannedd awyrgylch berwi'r digwyddiad, roedd y twnnel carthen yn ymddangos fel gawell metel yn sownd i lawr dan y bryniau o Eryri.
En: In the teeth of the event's boiling atmosphere, the twnnel carthen appeared like a metal cage trapped beneath the hills of Eryri.

Cy: Roedd golau gwan yn creu cysgodion ar hyd y waliau syfrdanol gyda sain mudr y peirianwaith yn ynfrwlltan ar gyfer y grŵp bychan a oedd wedi dod ynghyd.
En: Dim light created shadows along the overwhelming walls with the muffled sound of machinery forming a backdrop for the small group that had gathered.

Cy: Roedd Gareth, gyda'i wyneb difrifol, yn adnabod hyn fel cyfle i gadarnhau eu parodrwydd.
En: Gareth, with his serious face, recognized this as an opportunity to confirm their readiness.

Cy: Roedd yn sefyll ymysg estafelloedd meirw'r twnnel, llyfrau ar ei fwrdd, ac yn mynd heibio polisi'r lle.
En: He stood amidst the dead rooms of the tunnel, books on his table, passing by the policies of the place.

Cy: Yma, roedd angen trefn a disgyblaeth.
En: Here, order and discipline were necessary.

Cy: Mae Eira, gyda'i natur heriol, wedi methu derbyn y angen am ymarfer gorfodol.
En: Eira, with her challenging nature, had failed to accept the necessity of mandatory practice.

Cy: "Eira, rhaid i ni gadw at y cynllun!
En: "Eira, we have to stick to the plan!"

Cy: " meddai Gareth, ei llais yn synfyfyriol.
En: said Gareth, his voice reflective.

Cy: Roedd ei ymrwymiad di-droi'n-ôl yn achosi tensiwn.
En: His unwavering commitment was causing tension.

Cy: Ond roedd Eira eisoes wedi cynllunio cynllun gwahanol.
En: But Eira had already devised a different plan.

Cy: "Mae gael ein cloeon yma'n gwneud dim byd," ymatebodd Eira yn hen pwdrus.
En: "Being locked in here does nothing," replied Eira stubbornly.

Cy: "Byddaf yn dangos bod ni'n ddiogel.
En: "I will show that we are safe.

Cy: Dim rhaid i ni gadw yma!
En: There's no need for us to stay here!"

Cy: "Llinos, sefyll rhwng y ddau, roedd yn ei threisio gydag ansicrwydd.
En: Llinos, standing between the two, was torn with uncertainty.

Cy: Roedd haenau o tensiwn yn cynyddu.
En: Layers of tension were building.

Cy: Gwyddai am y pris o ochri'n rhy gryf ag un o'r ochrau.
En: She knew the cost of siding too strongly with one of the sides.

Cy: Ond ar yr eiliad yma, roedd deiliadaeth yn pwyso'n drymach.
En: But at that moment, possession weighed heavier.

Cy: Y cloc yn taro, a'r adrannau tynnu wrthod caniatáu trafodaeth barhaol.
En: The clock struck, and the tight sections refused to allow continued discussion.

Cy: Pan ddecidiwyd Eira ag agori o'r drws gallter, ni allai neb ymyrryd.
En: When Eira decided to open the door slightly, no one could intervene.

Cy: Roedd y larwm yr un yn cyflawni'r hyn edrychai'n greulon.
En: The alarm performing what appeared cruel.

Cy: Roedd popeth mor fyrach eni ymateb dod â phob cyd-dyniad i'r cwrdd.
En: Everything so abruptly brought each collaboration to the meeting.

Cy: Roedd rhaid i Gareth weithredu.
En: Gareth had to act.

Cy: Roedd yr opsiwn yno: ddal Eira nôl, neu ddeall ei hartanaeth a meithrin yr adborth.
En: There was the option: hold Eira back, or understand her determination and nurture the feedback.

Cy: Fe aeth y larwm oddiar, a Gareth wedyn orffod ystyried - dewis y marciau o drefnu neu wrando ar her gamdriniaeth Eira.
En: The alarm went off, and Gareth then had to consider—choose the marks of organization or listen to the challenge of Eira's abuse.

Cy: Yn dilyn eiliad byr, Gareth gadael pobl yn cerdded yn ofalus ond dim ond ar ôl gwirio bod y tu allan yn ddiogel.
En: Following a brief moment, Gareth let the people walk carefully but only after ensuring the outside was safe.

Cy: "Ni allwn anwybyddu pryderon," bu yntau yn llacio'r rhwymiadau.
En: "We cannot ignore concerns," he relaxed the bindings.

Cy: Eira a Gareth yn trochi eiliadau wedyn yn yr wyrddni amheus o’r hyn y tu hwnt.
En: Eira and Gareth immersed themselves moments later in the suspicious greenery beyond.

Cy: Roedd Llinos, gyda’r duw rygla, ennill hyder i gyflawni heddwch a thraddodi'r geiriau rhwng y ddau allforiwr.
En: With the blessing of the landscape, Llinos, gaining confidence, achieved peace and conveyed words between the two envoys.

Cy: Trwy ddeall, roeddent yn newid.
En: Through understanding, they changed.

Cy: Roedd Gareth yn deall pwysigrwydd siarad ar y gwir ofni eraill.
En: Gareth understood the importance of speaking about the true fears of others.

Cy: Roedd Eira yn dechrau deall bod rheol yn creu amgylchedd ddiogel.
En: Eira began to understand that rules create a safe environment.

Cy: Ar yr adeg yma, deallwyd gan Llinos mai rhoi llais yw'r grym a all ddod â heddwch.
En: At this point, Llinos understood that giving voice is the power that can bring peace.

Story Transcript:

Cy: Yn nyfnder tywyll rhywle yng Ngogledd Cymru, roedd plant Ysgol Uwchradd Aberteifi ar drip maes.
En: In the dark depths somewhere in North Wales, the children of Ysgol Uwchradd Aberteifi were on a field trip.

Cy: Roedd cyffro yn yr aer.
En: Excitement was in the air.

Cy: Roedd Halloween yn prysur agosáu a roedd Gareth, bachgen chwilfrydig a chwareus, yn llawn brwdfrydedd.
En: Halloween was quickly approaching and Gareth, a curious and playful boy, was full of enthusiasm.

Cy: Ei ffrind, Carys, oedd wrth ei ochr.
En: His friend, Carys, was by his side.

Cy: Roedd hi'n ofalus, ond yn hoff o antur hefyd.
En: She was cautious, but fond of adventure as well.

Cy: Roedd y mynedfa i'r hen fwyngloddiau dan ddaear yn gul a thywyll.
En: The entrance to the old underground mines was narrow and dark.

Cy: Roedd y graig yn wlyb a'r awyr yn oer.
En: The rock was wet and the air was cold.

Cy: Roedd pelydr bach o olau yn disgyn ar y dail hydref melyn a oedd yn chwalu o gwmpas yr afanc.
En: A small beam of light fell on the yellow autumn leaves that scattered around the beaver.

Cy: Roedd yr athro yn siarad am hanes y mwynau, ond collwyd clyw Gareth.
En: The teacher was talking about the history of the minerals, but Gareth couldn’t hear.

Cy: Roedd yn ffocysu ar un peth yn unig - ardal sydd yn sôn fod ysbrydion yn crwydro.
En: He was focused on one thing only—the area rumored to be haunted by ghosts.

Cy: Cynnau lamp fflach oedd gwaith cyntaf Gareth.
En: Gareth's first task was to light a flashlight.

Cy: "Carys," ebe Gareth, "ma' 'na le dirgel yn wag gwnaethon nhw ddim sôn amdano.
En: "Carys," said Gareth, "there's a secret empty place they didn’t mention."

Cy: " Roedd ei lygaid yn pefrio.
En: His eyes sparkled.

Cy: "Dewch, does na'm rhaid clywed beth sydd ar deledu.
En: "Come on, we don't have to hear what's on TV.

Cy: Angen ei weld gyda'n llygaid ein hun.
En: We need to see with our own eyes."

Cy: "Cydiodd Carys yn ei llaw.
En: Carys took his hand.

Cy: "Gareth, byddai'n well gennym aros gyda'n grŵp.
En: "Gareth, we'd better stay with our group."

Cy: " Gwybodd oedd Gareth wedi gwneud ei feddwl i fyny.
En: She knew Gareth had made up his mind.

Cy: Os oedd yn cael trafferth, roedd hi'n benderfynol o fod yno i'w achub.
En: If he got into trouble, she was determined to be there to rescue him.

Cy: Cerddon nhw'n ofalus drwy'r llwybr tywyll.
En: They walked carefully through the dark path.

Cy: Roedd y sibrydion am ysbrydion yng nghefn meddwl Carys fel sbectol.
En: The rumors about ghosts lingered in the back of Carys' mind like glasses.

Cy: Ond nid oedd yn troi'n ôl.
En: But she didn’t turn back.

Cy: Roedd sŵn mwmian dwfn yn y meudwyaeth a'r ysgwyd creigiau a wnaeth ei calonnau rasio.
En: There was a sound of deep murmurs in the distance and the shaking rocks made their hearts race.

Cy: Yn sydyn, dyfod y ddau at gwmni agored, y siambr.
En: Suddenly, the two came upon an open company, the chamber.

Cy: Roedd yn teimlo'n greddf.
En: It felt instinctual.

Cy: Roedd yna helbul yma o'r gorffennol, ac roedd hynny'n achosi i'r ddau aros yn llonydd.
En: There was turmoil here from the past, and that caused the two to stand still.

Cy: Aeth Carys gam ymlaen ac edrychodd o gwmpas.
En: Carys took a step forward and looked around.

Cy: Roedd offer mwyngloddio hen wedi'i stocio yn y corneli.
En: Old mining equipment was stored in the corners.

Cy: Yn sydyn, clywodd Gareth ei hun yn siarad yn iawn: "Nid ysbrydion yw hyn, Carys.
En: Suddenly, Gareth heard himself speaking aloud: "These aren't ghosts, Carys.

Cy: Mae'n hanes.
En: It's history."

Cy: "Roedd hyn yn ddigon i droi'n ôl.
En: This was enough to turn back.

Cy: Ar eu ffordd allan, cofnodwyd y ddau llygad ar yr offer.
En: On their way out, the pair's eyes caught on the equipment.

Cy: Erbyn iddynt ddod i'r grŵp, roeddent yn ddigon cyffrous i ddangos eu darganfyddiad.
En: By the time they returned to the group, they were excited enough to show their discovery.

Cy: Roedd hyd yn oed yr athro'n synnu.
En: Even the teacher was surprised.

Cy: Diweddodd y dydd gyda nhw'n adrodd stori yr ardal ddirgel i'w cyd-ddisgyblion.
En: The day ended with them recounting the story of the secret area to their fellow students.

Cy: Dysgodd Gareth werth bod yn fwy gofalus, tra'r oedd Carys wedi sicrhau mwy o hyder wrth ddelio â sefyllfaoedd peryglus.
En: Gareth learned the value of being more careful, while Carys gained more confidence in dealing with dangerous situations.

Cy: Roedd heddiw yn gyfrinach llawn antur i'w gofio.
En: Today was an adventure-filled secret to remember.
