Cy: Rhagor nag unwaith y mae diwrnodau a nosweithiau cyfnod yr hydref yn gwyro fel llysiau mewn potesyn.
En: More than once, the days and nights of the autumn season blend like vegetables in a stew.

Cy: Ym mhentref bach yng nghefn gwlad Cymru, ar fferm lle ceir slawers, mae’r gwynt yn chwa rapio am ganoldir y praff ystafell.
En: In a small village in the Welsh countryside, on a farm where there are slawers, the wind gusts, wrapping around the heart of the cozy room.

Cy: Calan Gaeaf ydyw, a phobman mae cennin pedr coch ac ocsigen ffres rhadlon i’w drwyno.
En: It is Halloween, and everywhere there are red daffodils and refreshing, fragrant fresh oxygen to inhale.

Cy: Ar y fferm, mae'r cae yn welw gyda llaeth o bwmpenni oren, yn tynnu sylw bob ymwelydd.
En: On the farm, the field is aglow with a sea of orange pumpkins, capturing the attention of every visitor.

Cy: Mae’r awyrgylch yn uchel, gyda chants y plant baentedi eu gwinoedd a’r swn seindorf enigmaidd yn gwreiddio yn yr aer.
En: The atmosphere is lively, with the chants of children flaunting their costumes and the sound of a mysterious band resonating in the air.

Cy: Mae Dylan yn darlunydd taclus, yn ymdeimlo â’i brwshys lliw, yn cerdded trwy’r bordr, yn chwilio am ei ysbrydoliaeth.
En: Dylan is a meticulous artist, feeling his way with his paintbrushes, walking through the border, searching for inspiration.

Cy: Mae Eira yno yn arwain, ar ben ei hanian.
En: Eira is there leading, in her element.

Cy: Er ei bod hi'n meddwl am drefnu'r ŵyl, mae hi'n dymuno heithio pawb i ymuno.
En: Although she thinks of organizing the festival, she wishes to encourage everyone to join in.

Cy: Mae Dylan yn crwydro i’r cae lle maen nhw’n dewis pwmpenni ac yn stopio i weld.
En: Dylan wanders to the field where they are choosing pumpkins and stops to see.

Cy: Mae Eira yn manteisio ar y foment i ddweud helo.
En: Eira seizes the moment to say hello.

Cy: “Ti'n chwilio am fwmpen berffaith?
En: "Are you looking for the perfect pumpkin?"

Cy: ” gofynnodd Eira gyda gwên ddefiniedd.
En: asked Eira with a defined smile.

Cy: Mae Dylan yn ymddwyn yn swil ond yn gwrtais.
En: Dylan acts shy but polite.

Cy: “Ydw,” atebodd.
En: "Yes," he replied.

Cy: “Rydyn ni'n edrych am fwmpen sydd ag iddi gymeriadau, mae'n rhaid iddi ysbrydoliaethu.
En: "We're looking for a pumpkin that has character, it must inspire."

Cy: ”Mae Eira yn chwerthin.
En: Eira laughs.

Cy: “Cefn gwlad Cymru, y mae pob bwmpen yn stori.
En: "In the Welsh countryside, every pumpkin is a story."

Cy: ” Mae'r ddau yn rhannu chwerthin.
En: The two share a laugh.

Cy: Mae'r amser yn pasio'n llithro tra bod y ddau yn darganfod pwmpen a fydd yn berffaith i’w cherfio.
En: Time glides by as the two discover a pumpkin that will be perfect for carving.

Cy: Ond mae Dylan, er ei amharodrwydd, yn cytuno i ymuno â’r gystadleuaeth cerfio pwmpenni ar wahân i eraill.
En: Despite his reluctance, Dylan agrees to join the pumpkin carving contest, separate from the others.

Cy: Y dydd hwnnw, mae Eira yn rhoi seibiant wrth ei chyfrinachau a threulio amser gyda Dylan.
En: That day, Eira takes a break from her responsibilities and spends time with Dylan.

Cy: Mae'r ddau yn gweithio gyda’i gilydd, araf ond cyndyn, yn cerfio wyneb yn angori amlennodd pluad.
En: The two work together, slowly but surely, carving a face that anchors in a feathery expression.

Cy: Fel y senfyddwyd, mae eu campwaith yn ennill y gystadleuaeth.
En: As anticipated, their masterpiece wins the competition.

Cy: Mae Dylan a Eira yn gwybod mwy am ei gilydd erbyn diwedd yr ŵyl.
En: Dylan and Eira know more about each other by the end of the festival.

Cy: Mae Dylan, a’i daws yn ysgafn, yn cymryd cam i fynd am goffi gyda Eira wythnos wedyn.
En: Dylan, with a light step, takes the initiative to go for coffee with Eira the following week.

Cy: Mae’r hydref wedi bod yn amser lle mae Dylan yn agor at gysylltiadau newydd, ac mae Eira yn dysgu gwerthfawrogi momentau bychain ond gwerthfawr gydag eraill.
En: Autumn has been a time where Dylan opens up to new connections and Eira learns to appreciate small but valuable moments with others.

Cy: Mae'r bwmpenni'n disgleirio ar y fferm wrth i'r henoed ac ifanc, angorion yn eu dychymyg, adael mewn anghyffur tua gartref.
En: The pumpkins shine on the farm as the old and young, with their imaginations as anchors, leave in a cheerful mood towards home.

Cy: Mae glowr y Calan Gaeaf yn parhau i amdo’r locres gyda chynnilrwydd bendithiol Cymreig.
En: The glow of Halloween continues to envelop the darkness with a subtle Welsh blessing.

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.

En: The wind was blowing gently through the trees as Aneira and Cai walked in Snowdonia.

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.
