Story Transcript:

Cy: Yn nhywelwch bore hydrefog, roedd y coed yn gwisgo lliwiau o ambr ac coch fel petai natur ei hun yn cefnogi'r pleidleisio.
En: In the tranquility of an autumn morning, the trees wore colors of amber and red as if nature itself supported the voting.

Cy: Roedd Gethin yn sefyll wrth arosfa bws ar ymyl stryd y pentref bach ger arfordir Cymru, ei law yn gynnes o gwmpas cerdyn pleidleisio.
En: Gethin stood at the bus stop on the edge of the small village street near the coast of Wales, his hand warm around a ballot card.

Cy: Gydag ef roedd Eira, sy'n dal i fod yn ansicr a oedd pleidleisio werth y drafferth.
En: With him was Eira, still uncertain whether voting was worth the trouble.

Cy: "Pam rydyn ni'n gwneud hyn eto?" gofynnodd hi, yn tynnu dyfais allan o'i phoced i wirio'r amser.
En: "Why are we doing this again?" she asked, pulling a device out of her pocket to check the time.

Cy: Roedd y bws yn hwyr, ac amser yn brin.
En: The bus was late, and time was short.

Cy: "Mae pob pleidlais yn cyfrif, Eira," meddai Gethin, yn cynnig gwên obeithiol.
En: "Every vote counts, Eira," said Gethin, offering a hopeful smile.

Cy: "Roedd fy nhad-cu bob amser yn dweud mai’r pleidlais yw llais y bobl.
En: "My grandfather always said that the vote is the voice of the people.

Cy: Unwaith, diolch i bleidlais, cafodd ysgol yr ardal ei harchu rhag cau."
En: Once, thanks to a vote, the local school was saved from closing."

Cy: Wrth iddynt aros, roedd cysgodion y gwanwyn yn goleuo; y farchnad ffermwyr wedi gadael y neuadd gymuned leol gyda rhesi o ffrwythau a llysiau’n addurno’r feranda.
En: As they waited, the shadows of spring brightened; the farmers' market had left the local community hall with rows of fruits and vegetables decorating the veranda.

Cy: Yn sydyn, arosfa tawel y bws weini allan wrth i'r bws o'r diwedd ddod i lawr y ffordd.
En: Suddenly, the quiet bus stop burst into life as the bus finally came down the road.

Cy: Ond eu rhyddhad yn fyr gan i’r bws stopio cynnigla ar ffin y pentref.
En: But their relief was short-lived as the bus stopped awkwardly at the edge of the village.

Cy: "Eira, rhaid i ni gerdded.
En: "Eira, we have to walk.

Cy: Rydyn ni'n gwneud hyn!"
En: We're doing this!"

Cy: Gan adael y bws ar ôl, roedd yr ddau yn symud ymlaen trwy’r tywydd crasboeth.
En: Leaving the bus behind, the two moved on through the scorching weather.

Cy: Gethin heb rhoi'r gorau i'w benderfyniad, arwain Eira dros y llwybr tuag at y neuadd bentref.
En: Gethin did not give up on his determination, leading Eira across the path toward the village hall.

Cy: Roedd Eira'n dechrau gofyn cwestiynau, ei llygaid yn tywynnu gyda chwilfrydedd.
En: Eira began to ask questions, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.

Cy: "Beth mae'r polisïau yma'n medru gwneud dros y pentref?
En: "What can these policies do for the village?

Cy: Beth ydyn nhw'n addo i’r ffermwyr lleol?"
En: What are they promising the local farmers?"

Cy: "Mae gan bawb eu siawns i ddweud," atebodd Gethin, yn sibrwdros.
En: "Everyone gets their chance to say," responded Gethin, whispering.

Cy: "Pleidleisiau bach.
En: "Small votes.

Cy: Effaith fawr."
En: Big impact."

Cy: Fel cyrraedd y neuadd gymuned, roedd Eira'n teimlo'n gynyddol gyffrous wrth weld wynebau cyfarwydd ar fin gwneud eu pleidlais eu hunain.
En: As they arrived at the community hall, Eira felt increasingly excited seeing familiar faces about to cast their own votes.

Cy: "Gawn ni weld pwy sy’n caru’u cartref," meddyliodd Eira.
En: "Let's see who loves their home," Eira thought.

Cy: Pan gyrhaeddon nhw, oedd bron yn fin nos, agorodd y drysau ac roedd yr awyr yn llawn o sŵn croeso'r cymunedwyr.
En: When they arrived, it was nearly dusk, the doors opened, and the air was full of the welcoming sounds of the community members.

Cy: Eira, wedi ei hysbrydoli gan eiriau Gethin, cerddodd i mewn i’r neuadd, llawen gan roi ei phleidlais.
En: Eira, inspired by Gethin's words, walked into the hall, joyfully casting her vote.

Cy: Teimlai Gethin yn llawn balchder o weld Eira yn gwneud ei dewis.
En: Gethin felt full of pride seeing Eira make her choice.

Cy: Roedd bleidlais wedi cael ei bwrw a chymuned wedi'i hybu.
En: A vote had been cast, and a community had been encouraged.

Cy: Roedd dyfnder pleser wrth weld goleuni newydd yn ei llygaid.
En: There was a deep pleasure in seeing a new light in her eyes.

Cy: Wrth fynd allan o’r neuadd, y nos yn gorchuddio’r pentref â’i phalîd o liwiau hydref, roedd Eira’n teimlo rhan o’r gymuned cryfach na erioed.
En: Leaving the hall, the night covering the village with its palette of autumn colors, Eira felt a part of the community stronger than ever.

Cy: Roedd Gethin yn teimlo bod ei ymdrech wedi talu ar ei ganfed.
En: Gethin felt that his effort had paid off immensely.

Cy: Roedd dyfodol y pentref wedi’i siapio gan y ddwy law sydd wedi gweithio gyda’i gilydd ar y ffordd i’r neuadd.
En: The future of the village had been shaped by the two hands working together on the way to the hall.

En: "It will be dangerous, but I trust your instincts," responded Cerys.

Cy: Cododd y gwynt wrth iddynt neidio i mewn i'r car, natur yn cychwyn storm annisgwyl.
En: The wind picked up as they jumped into the car, nature starting an unexpected storm.

Cy: Ond ni allai unrhyw beth rwystro eu hawydd i ddatgelu gwirionedd y goleudy dirgel.

Cy: Crogasant y lamp brys gan dawelu eu nerfau, a chamu'n dawel i mewn i'r goleudy.
En: They clutched the emergency lamp to steady their nerves and quietly stepped into the lighthouse.

Cy: Mewnol, roedd walwyddau a cherrig yn swnian o dan eu traed.
En: Inside, planks and stones creaked under their feet.

Cy: Pan aethant i'r tŷ golau ar ben y twr, darganfyddwyd hen fynedfa gudd.
En: When they reached the light room at the top of the tower, they discovered an old hidden entrance.

Cy: Y tu ôl iddi, roedd bocs.
En: Behind it, there was a box.

Cy: "Edrych!
En: "Look!

Cy: Llun map," dywedodd Cerys gyda chyffro.
En: A map drawing," said Cerys excitedly.

Cy: Cyn iddynt allu archwilio, trodd y lamp hithau'n dawel.
En: Before they could explore, the lamp suddenly went out.

Cy: Gwelodd Rhys gyfeillion newydd iddo: beacon anghofiedig ar y map!
En: Rhys saw new companions for him: forgotten beacons on the map!
