Story Transcript:

Cy: Mae haul yr haf yn tywynnu’n gryf wrth i Eira a Rhys gerdded tuag at warys sydd wedi’i hepgor mewn rhan anghyfarwydd o’r dref.
En: The summer sun shines brightly as Eira and Rhys walk toward a warehouse abandoned in an unfamiliar part of town.

Cy: Mae’r hen adeilad yn sefyll yn uchel, gyda’i ffenestri’n chwythu, a physt haearn yn rwdlyd.
En: The old building stands tall, with its windows broken, and iron posts rusty.

Cy: Mae llwch yn lluchio wrth iddynt gamu dros y rhwystrau, gan fod Rhys yn tynnu sylw at y peryglon posibl.
En: Dust billows as they step over the obstacles, with Rhys pointing out the potential dangers.

Cy: Ond roedd Eira wedi cael syniad.
En: But Eira had an idea.

Cy: Roedd hi eisiau ysbrydoliaeth, ac roedd y lle hwn, gyda’i straeon cudd, yn berffaith.
En: She wanted inspiration, and this place, with its hidden stories, was perfect.

Cy: "Beth os oes rhywbeth gwerthfawr y tu mewn?
En: "What if there's something valuable inside?"

Cy: " Roedd llais Eira yn iachus ac yn llawn gobaith.
En: Eira's voice was lively and full of hope.

Cy: Roedd Rhys yn amheus, ond roedd ei ddiddordeb yn dod â nhw yno.
En: Rhys was skeptical, but his interest brought them here.

Cy: Roedd yn gobeithio dod o hyd i hanesiet am y gorffennol canys roedd y gwarys wedi adrodd ei stori ei hun.
En: He hoped to find stories about the past, as the warehouse had its own tales to tell.

Cy: Wrth iddyn nhw fynd trwy’r drysau mawr, gyda sŵn crafu’r pothellau ar y llawr concrid, roedd y gwlith yn gwneud patrwm o fatrics ar y llawr llwchlyd.
En: As they passed through the large doors, with the sound of gravel underfoot on the concrete floor, the dew created a matrix pattern on the dusty floor.

Cy: Roedd yr awyr yn serennol, ac roedd popeth yn ymddangos yn dawel iawn - nes iddynt weld rhywbeth.
En: The atmosphere was serene, and everything seemed very quiet - until they saw something.

Cy: Tu ôl i wal falch, gyda phanelli wedi’i rhwygo, roedd ystafell gyfrinachol.
En: Behind a proud wall, with panels ripped away, there was a secret room.

Cy: Yno, roedd muraleau lliwgar yn darlunio hanes nad oedd Eira nac Rhys erioed wedi’i weld o'r blaen.
En: There, colorful murals depicted a history that neither Eira nor Rhys had ever seen before.

Cy: Mae golwg y paentiadau wedi troi’r lle disylw wedi’i adael yn gelfyddyd enfawr.
En: The sight of the paintings transformed the unnoticed, abandoned place into a vast art gallery.

Cy: Lluniau llewyrchus o bobl, creiddiau a threftadau lleol wedi’u darlunio gyda brwshiau dewr.
En: Luminous images of people, cores, and local heritage were illustrated with bold brushstrokes.

Cy: "Rhys, edrychwch ar hyn," meddai Eira yn syfrdan wrth iddi dynnu ei gamera allan i gofnodi’r gwaith celf heintiedig gan amser.
En: "Rhys, look at this," said Eira in astonishment as she took out her camera to document the artwork infected by time.

Cy: A Rhys yn syllu, wedi’i hudo gan y stori oedd y muraleau yn ei ddweud – straeon sydd wedi’u cuddio am gyhyd.
En: And Rhys stared, mesmerized by the story the murals told - stories that had been hidden for so long.

Cy: Er bod Rhys yn bryderus am y strwythur, cytunodd.
En: Even though Rhys was concerned about the structure, he agreed.

Cy: Roedd yn deall na allai hanes gael ei adrodd heb risg.
En: He understood that history could not be told without risk.

Cy: Mae’r ddau wedi wynebu’r her, gyda’r gosodiad y dylai’r hanes fod yn hysbys i bawb.
En: The two faced the challenge, with the resolve that the story should be known to everyone.

Cy: Wrth iddynt ddod allan o’r warys, roedd Eira â llaw boliog o luniau a brasluniau.
En: As they left the warehouse, Eira had a handful of pictures and sketches.

Cy: Roedd Rhys yn teimlo newid.
En: Rhys felt a change.

Cy: Roedd y gwaith celf wedi rhoi iddi cyfle newydd, cyfeiriad newydd ac ymchwydd o ysbrydoliaeth.
En: The art gave her a new opportunity, a new direction, and a surge of inspiration.

Cy: Ac roedd Rhys wedi dysgu gwerth y risgiau iachus wrth ddatod hanes.
En: And Rhys learned the value of healthy risks in uncovering history.

Cy: Fe wnaeth Eira ddechrau ar brosiect celf newydd, gan adlewyrchu’r dylanwad o’r haf hwnnw, tra bod Rhys wedi dogfennu’r stori ar eu pen ei hun mewn llyfrgell lleol.
En: Eira embarked on a new art project, reflecting the influence of that summer, while Rhys documented the story on his own in a local library.

Cy: Roedd y ddau’n gwybod bod hwyl â strawid hynny wedi eu hysbrydoli yn abystonol.
En: Both knew that the joy of that discovery had inspired them immensely.

Cy: Bydd y gwarys wedi’i adrodd eto, a byddai’r hanes yn byw.
En: The warehouse would be told again, and the story would live on.

Cy: Roedd yn gymysg o antur a darganfyddiad, a chyfeillgarwch newydd.
En: It was a mix of adventure and discovery, and a new friendship.

Cy: Ac yn ystod yr haf, ar Ŵyl Bastille, roedd ganddyn nhw frawddeg newydd i’w ddechrau’r stori.
En: And during the summer, on Bastille Day, they had a new phrase to start the story.

Story Transcript:

Cy: Mewn cornel y farchnad leol, roedd heulwen yr haf yn llithro ar draws creiriau a stondinau lliwgar.
En: In the corner of the local market, the summer sun was sliding across trinkets and colorful stalls.

Cy: Roedd aroglau cynnyrch lleol yn plenllu yn yr awyr.
En: The scents of local produce mingled in the air.

Cy: Roedd Gareth ac Eira ar eu taith grŵp yng Ngwlad Eryri, yn cerdded yn fwriadol drwy'r farchnad.
En: Gareth and Eira were on their group trip in Gwlad Eryri, intentionally walking through the market.

Cy: Edrychai gareth dros stondinau oedd yn cyflwyno nwyddau ymarferol.
En: Gareth looked over stalls offering practical goods.

Cy: Roedd y prynhawn yn ffrisiedd, ac roedd ganddo fwriad clir.
En: The afternoon was breezy, and he had a clear purpose.

Cy: "Mae angen rhywbeth defnyddiol," meddai, tra'n arolygu gyllell syml ond gadarn.
En: "I need something useful," he said, while inspecting a simple but sturdy knife.

Cy: Roedd ei natur ymarferol yn danfon neges glir; roedd sŵn'r goedwig gerllaw yn atgoffa o'i gariad at natur.
En: His practical nature sent a clear message; the sound of the nearby forest reminded him of his love for nature.

Cy: Ond roedd Eira yn edrych am rhywbeth arall.
En: But Eira was looking for something else.

Cy: Roedd hi'n hoff o gasglu atgofion, ac roedd ei llygaid yn sbïo rhyngddynt am drysorau cudd.
En: She loved collecting memories, and her eyes wandered between them for hidden treasures.

Cy: Gan sefyll o flaen stondin lwydlofn, roedd hi'n tynnu'r golau eleni at ddarnau melfed a chrogfeini cerfiedig sy'n cynrychioli mai'r wybodaeth leol.
En: Standing in front of a grayish stall, she drew the year's light to pieces of velvet and carved pendants that represent the local wisdom.

Cy: "Brysia!" daw atgoffa gan ffrind clên â'i menig am y daith grŵp sydd i ddod.
En: "Hurry up!" came a reminder from a friendly companion with gloves for the upcoming group trip.

Cy: Roeddent ill dau'n sylweddoli eu bod mewn prinder amser.
En: They both realized they were short on time.

Cy: Wrth symud ymlaen, fe welsant stondin yn arddangos crefftau lleol; roedd yr eitemau hyn yn gyfuniad unigryw o ddefnyddioldeb a cheinder.
En: As they moved on, they saw a stall displaying local crafts; these items were a unique blend of usefulness and elegance.

Cy: Roedd y stondin yn lwyfan perffaith i'w dwyn i ganol yr achos.
En: The stall was the perfect stage to draw them into the heart of the matter.

Cy: Wrth i'r ddau fentro ymhellach tuag at y stondin, cychwynnodd trafodaeth boeth.
En: As the two ventured further toward the stall, a heated discussion began.

Cy: "Mae'r offeryn hwn yn wydn, edrych pa mor gryf yw e!" dadleuodd Gareth.
En: "This tool is durable, look how strong it is!" argued Gareth.

Cy: Ond gwrthseiniodd Eira gyda golwg ar flanced wlân sy'n cynnwys dyluniadau traddodiadol meistriog.
En: But Eira countered with a look at a wool blanket featuring masterful traditional designs.

Cy: "Mae hwn mor gwbl Gymraeg!"
En: "This is so completely Welsh!"

Cy: Cyn i'r drafodaeth waethygu, cyrhaeddwyd ymrwymiad terfynol.
En: Before the discussion escalated, a final commitment was reached.

Cy: Dewis eitem oedd y ddau yn ei ystyried; blanced wlân fawr gyda sefyllfa am oblygiadau ac eiconografi lleol.
En: They chose an item that both considered; a large wool blanket with implications and local iconography.

Cy: Yn ystod y broses penderfynu, dysgodd Gareth gwerth y geiriau 'cof cywrain', a dysgodd Eira mai dim ond thrac ymarferol oedd angen iddi wneud mwy o rieni.
En: During the decision-making process, Gareth learned the value of the words 'intricate memory,' and Eira learned that only a practical track is needed to make more parenting.

Cy: Wrth gerdded i ffwrdd o'r farchnad, aethant ymlaen i'w taith, y glaswellt llachar yn llenwi eu llygaid.
En: As they walked away from the market, they continued on their journey, the bright grass filling their eyes.

Cy: Am unwaith, roeddent yn unol - gwobr a oedd yn cyfoethogi eu hatgofion a'u bywydau.
En: For once, they were united - a reward that enriched their memories and lives.

Cy: Roedd Snowdonia wedi eu clymu gymaint y prynhawn hwnnw, wrth iddyn nhw ddilyn eu ffordd ar hyd y tirlun cyfareddol.
En: Snowdonia had bound them so much that afternoon, as they followed their path along the enchanting landscape.

Story Transcript:

Cy: Roedd haul yr haf yn tywynnu'n braf dros Ardd Fotaneg dref leol.
En: The summer sun was shining brightly over the local town's Botanical Garden.

Cy: Roedd aroglau melys blodau'n llenwi'r aer wrth i ymwelwyr gerdded ar hyd llwybrau troellog yr ardd.
En: The sweet scents of flowers filled the air as visitors walked along the garden's winding paths.

Cy: Yno, cerddai Emyr, Nia a Rhiannon.
En: There, Emyr, Nia, and Rhiannon strolled.

Cy: Roeddent wedi dod i chwilio am blanhigion arbennig i ychwanegu at eu casgliadau.
En: They had come looking for special plants to add to their collections.

Cy: Roedd Emyr yn botanegydd, ac roedd wrth ei fodd gyda phlanhigion prin.
En: Emyr was a botanist, and he loved rare plants.

Cy: Roedd wedi clywed am flodyn arbennig iawn sydd yma yn yr ardd - un y mae wedi bod yn chwilio amdano ers tro.
En: He had heard about a very special flower here in the garden - one he had been searching for a long time.

Cy: Roedd Nia, ochr yn ochr, yn ffrind ac yn gyfrifol, yn edmygu symlrwydd natur.
En: Nia, walking by his side, was a friend and a responsible person, admiring the simplicity of nature.

Cy: Roedd Rhiannon newydd symud i'r dref ac yn awyddus i gyfarfod â phobl gyda'r un diddordebau.
En: Rhiannon had just moved to the town and was eager to meet people with similar interests.

Cy: Wrth gerdded i lawr y llwybr, dywedodd Emyr yn gyffrous, "Roeddwn i wedi clywed bod y planhigyn yma yn unigryw, ond mae'n anodd iawn dod o hyd iddo.
En: As they walked down the path, Emyr said excitedly, "I had heard that this plant is unique, but it's very difficult to find."

Cy: "Pan gyrhaeddasant ddangosfa'r planhigion, gwelodd Emyr y blodyn breuddwydiol hwnnw.
En: When they reached the plant display, Emyr saw that dreamy flower.

Cy: Roedd yr enw 'Blodyn fflam' ar y tag, blodyn gyda lliwiau bywiog fel y tân.
En: The name 'Blodyn fflam' was on the tag, a flower with vibrant colors like fire.

Cy: Ond ar y tag hefyd, roedd yn nodi mai 'arddangos yn unig,' nid er gwerthu.
En: But on the tag, it also noted 'display only,' not for sale.

Cy: "Dyma fo!
En: "There it is!"

Cy: " gwaeddodd Rhiannon gyda'r un brwdfrydedd, "Mae'n berffaith ar gyfer fy ngardd newydd.
En: exclaimed Rhiannon with equal enthusiasm, "It's perfect for my new garden."

Cy: " Roedd diddordeb yn siapio dehongli ei chyfle newydd.
En: Her interest was shaping the interpretation of her new opportunity.

Cy: Gwelodd Emyr nad oedd y planhigyn ar werth a'i galon yn suddo ychydig.
En: Emyr saw that the plant was not for sale, and his heart sank a little.

Cy: Yn gwrtais, dywedodd wrth Rhiannon sut yr oedd hefyd wedi bod wrthi'n chwilio am y planhigyn am flynyddoedd.
En: Politely, he told Rhiannon how he had also been searching for the plant for years.

Cy: "Efallai gallwn ni siarad â rheolwr yr ardd?
En: "Maybe we could talk to the garden manager?"

Cy: " Awgrymodd Nia, yn dawel ac yn gall.
En: suggested Nia, quietly and sensibly.

Cy: Cytunodd Emyr.
En: Emyr agreed.

Cy: Fe aeth ymlaen at reolwr yr ardd, sy'n gwrando'n amyneddgar ar eu cais.
En: He approached the garden manager, who listened patiently to their request.

Cy: Yn syndod, datgelwyd bod ail flodyn, un a heb ei flodeuo, wedi'i gadw yng nghefn yr ardd.
En: Surprisingly, it was revealed that there was a second flower, one that had not yet bloomed, kept at the back of the garden.

Cy: Ond dim ond un blodyn sydd.
En: But there was only one flower.

Cy: Roedd Emyr mewn penbleth, ond cynigiodd Nia syniad euraidd.
En: Emyr was in a dilemma, but Nia offered a golden idea.

Cy: "Beth am rannu'r gost a'r blodyn?
En: "Why don't we share the cost and the flower?

Cy: Gallwch chi dŷfu eich planhigion eich hunain o'r torion.
En: You can grow your own plants from the cuttings."

Cy: "Ac felly, cytunodd Emyr a Rhiannon.
En: And so, Emyr and Rhiannon agreed.

Cy: Roedd y penderfyniad i weithio mewn tîm yn dod â chyfeillgarwch newydd, gyda phob un yn edrych ymlaen at arbrofi gyda chyfnewidiadau planhigion yn garedig yn y dyfodol.
En: The decision to work as a team brought about a new friendship, with each looking forward to kindly experimenting with plant exchanges in the future.

Cy: Trwy wneud hynny, dysgodd Emyr, er mor bwysig yw cysylltiad â natur, gall yr un cysylltiad ag eraill fod yr un mor werthfawr, os nad yn fwy o'r fath.
En: In doing so, Emyr learned that while a connection with nature is important, a connection with others can be just as valuable, if not more so.

Cy: Roeddent yn gadael yr ardd gyda gobaith newydd, a syniad i gwrdd eto, i rannu llwyddiannau eu tyfu, oll yn cynnwys y Blodyn fflam.
En: They left the garden with new hope, and a plan to meet again, to share the successes of their growing endeavors, all including the Blodyn fflam.

En: The summer sun shone sweetly, casting long shadows over the splendid grass.

Cy: Roedd Gareth, botanegydd brwdfrydig, yn craffu ar y planhigion o amgylch, ei lygaid yn chwilio'r un arbennig – y blodyn prin a oedd am flodeuo am y tro cyntaf ers cannoedd o flynyddoedd.
En: Gareth, an enthusiastic botanist, was carefully observing the surrounding plants, his eyes searching for the special one – the rare flower that was about to bloom for the first time in hundreds of years.

Cy: Eir, cynorthwyydd addawol i Gareth, roedd wrth ei ochr bob amser.
En: Eir, a promising assistant to Gareth, was always by his side.

Cy: Yn dawel, pregethodd wrth ei hun.

En: She had a personal reason for staying – she secretly loved Gareth.

Cy: "Ga i siarad â thi?
En: "Can I talk to you?"

Cy: " chwilais Eir wrth iddo astudio coeden ffigys gerllaw.
En: Eir asked as he studied a nearby fig tree.

Cy: "Wrth gwrs, Eira," wnaeth Gareth droi ato, ei lygaid yn goleuo.

Cy: "Wyt ti'n teimlo'n bryderus am y noson hon?
En: "Are you feeling anxious about tonight?"

Cy: ""Ydw," atebodd hi yn dawel, "mae rhywbeth am Tegan sy'n gwneud i mi brosi'n ofidus.
En: "Yes," she answered quietly, "there's something about Tegan that makes me feel uneasy."

Cy: "Roedd y dydd yn cyflymu, a'r ardd yn llenwi â thwristiaid a botanegwyr yn aros am y digwyddiad mawreddog hwn.
