Story Transcript:

Cy: Ar fore oer yn y gaeaf, roedd gwynt cryf yn chwythu ar hyd y Promenâd Llandudno.
En: On a cold winter morning, a strong wind was blowing along the Promenâd Llandudno.

Cy: Roedd y môr yn rhuo yn erbyn y creigiau, gan anfon ysgeiriau i'r awyr.
En: The sea was roaring against the rocks, sending spray into the air.

Cy: Dylan, a oedd yn dawel a myfyrgar, cerddodd ar draws y prif ffordd, yn dal bag du yn ei law.
En: Dylan, who was quiet and contemplative, walked across the main road, holding a black bag in his hand.

Cy: Roedd yn ansicr am y digwyddiad glanhau traeth cymunedol hwn, ond roedd yn teimlo'r angen i ddod o hyd i gysylltiad newydd.
En: He was uncertain about this community beach cleaning event, but felt the need to find a new connection.

Cy: Ymhellach ymlaen, gwelodd Eira yn symud yn egniol, yn plygu i gasglu sbwriel gyda'i bag lliwgar.
En: Further along, he saw Eira moving energetically, bending to collect trash with her colorful bag.

Cy: Roedd hi'n bywiog ac yn llawn brwdfrydedd, yn angerddol dros gadw'r môr yn lân.
En: She was lively and full of enthusiasm, passionate about keeping the sea clean.

Cy: Pan welodd Eira Dylan, gwnaeth hi chwifio'n siriol.
En: When Eira saw Dylan, she waved cheerfully.

Cy: "Helo, fi yw Eira," meddai hi gan ddangos tawelwch i'r dŵr dŵr gwyntog.
En: "Hello, I'm Eira," she said, showing calmness to the windy sea.

Cy: Dylan wnaeth grynhoi ei ysgwyddau, yn ansicr sut i ateb, ond yn ddiarwybod iddo fe deyfwyd yr angen i ymateb.
En: Dylan shrugged his shoulders, unsure how to respond, but unknowingly felt the need to reply.

Cy: "Helo, fi yw Dylan," meddai, yn synnu at ei hun am siarad mor agored i gychwyn.
En: "Hello, I'm Dylan," he said, surprised at himself for speaking so openly at first.

Cy: Dechreuon nhw gerdded gyda'i gilydd, yn casglu darnau plastig a phapur o'r traeth.
En: They began walking together, picking up plastic and paper pieces from the beach.

Cy: Roedd angen croesair ar Dylan, ond roedd ymadroddion Eira yn rhydd a llon.
En: Dylan needed a moment to settle, but Eira's expressions were free and lively.

Cy: "Pam daethoch chi yma heddiw?
En: "Why did you come here today?"

Cy: " gofynnodd Eira, gan dynnu llygad Dylan i'r môr.
En: Eira asked, drawing Dylan's eyes to the sea.

Cy: Roedd cwestiwn rhwng dau ddewis yn y tŷ, na fyddai'n mynd i'r digwyddiad.
En: It was a question between two choices at home, whether he would go to the event or not.

Cy: "Roedd angen newid arna i," dywedodd Dylan, yn eiddgar am ymroi yn ei phen ei hun.
En: "I needed a change," Dylan said, eager to dedicate himself to it in her presence.

Cy: Gwnaeth Eira wneu mewn meddwl am y modd y gellid defnyddio'n hamddenol bŵer cyfeillgarwch i ddod â phobl gyda'i gilydd.
En: Eira nodded thoughtfully, considering how the casual power of friendship could bring people together.

Cy: "Roeddwn i'n gobeithio y gallai rhywun fel chi ddod â'ch hunain i'r digwyddiad," atebodd Eira yn ddoeth.
En: "I hoped someone like you would join," Eira wisely replied.

Cy: Wrth iddynt eistedd ar fainc am egwyl, aeth y sgwrs i fannau mwy personol.
En: As they sat on a bench for a break, the conversation turned to more personal topics.

Cy: Siaradodd Dylan am ei ansicrwydd, ei hobia antyfogiadwy i gysylltu â phobl.
En: Dylan spoke about his insecurities and his undeniable fear of connecting with people.

Cy: Rhannodd Eira ei stori am ei chariad at natur a'i hymdrechion i ysbrydoli eraill.
En: Eira shared her story about her love for nature and her efforts to inspire others.

Cy: Yn sydyn, roedd yn glir bod ganddynt gariad cyffredin at y môr a pharod iawn ei warchod.
En: Suddenly, it became clear that they both had a common love for the sea and a keen willingness to protect it.

Cy: "Beth am i ni fynd am dro yng Nghoed Cyrnol un ddiwrnod?
En: "How about we take a walk at Coed Cyrnol one day?"

Cy: " awgrymodd Dylan mewn ton gobeithiol.
En: Dylan suggested in a hopeful tone.

Cy: Gwelodd Eira yr ynswm newydd yn ei llygaid.
En: Eira saw the renewed determination in his eyes.

Cy: "Byddai hynny'n wych," atebodd hithau, gwenodd arno wrth deimlo argraff calon.
En: "That would be great," she replied, smiling at him while feeling a heartfelt impression.

Cy: Wedi diwedd y diwrnod, cerddodd Dylan gartref teimlo'n gysylltiedig ac yn bwrpasol.
En: By the end of the day, Dylan walked home feeling connected and purposeful.

Cy: Roedd y stori wedi newid iddo, ac roedd hefyd yn rhoi gwerth newydd i Eira ar rym yr ysbrydoliaeth tawel.
En: The story had changed for him, and it also gave new value to Eira about the power of quiet inspiration.

Cy: Roedd cynnig ysgafn i ddiffodd yr unigedd.
En: It was a gentle offer to extinguish loneliness.

Cy: Y sgragen olaf oedd penderfyniad o wyro dros rwystrau, un gam ar y tro, gyda ffrind newydd.
En: The final scrap was a decision to navigate obstacles, one step at a time, with a new friend.

Cy: Ar ddiwedd y diwrnod, roedd tyfiant y môr yn drydar yn groesawgar, nid ynysig, ond yn llais newydd ac yn gwahoddiad i siwrnai ar y dibyn o gymuned.
En: At the end of the day, the growth of the sea hummed welcomingly, not as isolated, but as a new voice and an invitation to a journey on the edge of community.

Cy: Wrth i'r gwynt oer chwythu trwy'r strydoedd o Gaerdydd, roedd grŵp o ddisgyblion ysgol yn cerdded i'r Expo Tech Animeiddio, eu cynhesrwydd St. David's Day yn gwresogi eu calonnau.
En: As the cold wind blew through the streets of Caerdydd, a group of schoolchildren walked towards the Expo Tech Animeiddio, the warmth of St. David's Day melting their hearts.

Cy: Hi oedd y person mwyaf brwdfrydig am dechnoleg yn ei dosbarth.
En: She was the most enthusiastic person about technology in her class.

Cy: Gareth, er ei fod yn fwy am chwaraeon, roedd bob amser yn ei chefnogi.
En: Gareth, although more into sports, always supported her.

Cy: "Rydw i'n mor nerfus!" meddai Rhiannon, yn edrych o gwmpas yn y ganolfan gonfensiwn brysur.
En: "I'm so nervous!" said Rhiannon, looking around the busy convention center.

Cy: Roedd animeiddiad yn diflannu o bob cyfeiriad.
En: Animation was disappearing from every direction.

Cy: "Dwi eisiau siarad â Gwyn ap Cadog, y gwneuthurwr animeiddio."
En: "I want to speak with Gwyn ap Cadog, the animation creator."

Cy: "Fe fyddi di'n iawn,"
En: "You'll be fine," Gareth reassured her.

Cy: does dim rhaid i ti fod mor nerfus," ymuchedd Gareth. Roedd Owain, y disgybl tawel ond talentog, yn syllu ar y sgrinau mawr gyda ffascineiddio.
En: "You don't have to be so nervous," Owain, the quiet but talented student, was staring at the large screens with fascination.

Cy: "Dwi ddim yn meddwl y byddaf byth yn deall hyn i gyd," meddai Owain, yn dal i edrych arno gyda rhyfeddod.
En: "I don't think I'll ever understand all of this," said Owain, still looking on in wonder.

Cy: Roedd seminar gyda Gwyn ap Cadog ar y daflen amser, ond wrth iddyn nhw gyrraedd y neuadd, cafodd Rhiannon erchwyn llithrog wrth glywed ei fod wedi'i ganslo.
En: There was a seminar with Gwyn ap Cadog on the schedule, but as they reached the hall, Rhiannon was let down upon hearing it had been canceled.

Cy: "Beth fydda i'n ei wneud nawr?" roedd ei hartigli a rhystaidd ei llais.
En: "What will I do now?" her voice was shaky and anxious.

Cy: "Rhaid i ti wneud rhywbeth," cynghorodd Gareth, "Cefnogaeth bersonol yw dy gryfder di."
En: "You have to do something," advised Gareth, "Personal support is your strength."

Cy: Penderfynodd Rhiannon actio heb ail-feddwl.
En: Rhiannon decided to act without second-guessing.

Cy: Tra oedd pob yn gadeirydd, aeth ati i chwilio am y gwneuthurwr animeiddio enwog ymysg y stondinau lliwgar a bythgofio.
En: While everyone was seated, she set out to find the famous animation creator among the colorful and unforgettable stalls.

Cy: Ymhen ychydig, gweld Gwyn ap Cadog yn unig, ar stondin, yn edrych ar Wobrau Heddlu'r St. David's Day sy'n dangos animeiddiadau Cymreig.
En: Shortly, she spotted Gwyn ap Cadog alone, at a stall, looking at the St. David's Day Police Awards showing Welsh animations.

Cy: "Helô," meddai'n dawel, nesaf ato, "ydw i'n dy atal?"
En: "Hello," she said quietly, beside him, "am I interrupting you?"

Cy: "Gwaith gwych hwn, yn'r ydwyt?" llygadwraidd hen Gwyn, gydag awyrennau cyflawn.
En: "Great work this, isn't it?" said the sharp-eyed old Gwyn, with a complete readiness.

Cy: Roedd Rhiannon eisiau hwylio ei breuddwydion, felly tausodd am eiliad, "Rwyf am fod yn ddylunydd graffeg," dywedodd, "Ond dw i ddim yn gwybod sut i ddechrau."
En: Rhiannon wanted to pursue her dreams, so she paused for a moment, "I want to be a graphic designer," she said, "But I don't know how to start."

Cy: Roedd gwenu Gwyn yn fawreddog, "Creu," meddai, "creuwch eich gwaith a cheisiwch eich hunan.
En: Gwyn's smile was majestic, "Create," he said, "create your work and challenge yourself.

Cy: Cerddwch tros eich ofnau.
En: Walk over your fears.

Cy: Amser i gryfhau bob profiad."
En: Time strengthens every experience."

Cy: A thrwy gael eu geiriau, rhoddodd Gwyn ei gyswllt, "Ffonia fi, pan fydd angen help arnat ti."
En: And by receiving his words, Gwyn gave her his contact, "Call me when you need help."

Cy: Roedd dim trwydded mwyach i'w marchad mewn singl, ond eto, roedd Rhiannon yn teimlo ryw wybodaeth newydd a chyffrous yn cychwyn godroi.
En: There was no longer a queue for his autograph, but still, Rhiannon felt some new and exciting knowledge beginning to rise.

Cy: Wrth iddi adael, teimlodd ysgafnder yn ei cham bach, yn fwy penbyliaethus na phob un diwrnod arall yn ei bywyd.
En: As she left, she felt light in her small step, more determined than any other day in her life.

Cy: Roedd cael hyder a gweledigaeth glir yn ei sefyllog.
En: Having confidence and a clear vision fueled her stance.

Cy: "Rydw i wedi cychwyn fy siwrne!" sibrwdodd hi wrth Gareth ac Owain, yn sicr ei bod ar fin dechrau penod newydd ei bywyd gyda'u cefnogaeth nhw.
En: "I've started my journey!" she whispered to Gareth and Owain, certain she was about to begin a new chapter of her life with their support.

Cy: Nhw i gyd yn dilyn eu llwybrau, gan edrych ymlaen at St. David's Day, a'u hatgofion newydd i'w ailymwelidd.
