Story Transcript:

Cy: Wrth i awyr y boreau deffro dros arfordir godidog Sir Benfro, mae tywydd ymledu ei ddwylo'n dywyll dros ben y lli.
En: As the morning sky awakens over the magnificent Sir Benfro coast, the weather spreads its dark hands over the top of the sea.

Cy: Mae'r goleudy yn sefyll yn dalog ar ben y clogwyni geirwon, ei golau'n sleifio trwy'r niwl a'r glaw trwm.
En: The lighthouse stands tall on the rugged cliffs, its light sneaking through the mist and heavy rain.

Cy: Fel cadlywydd taflwybr, mae Rhys, cadwwr y goleudy, yn barod ar gyfer y storm.
En: Like a sentry commander, Rhys, the lighthouse keeper, is ready for the storm.

Cy: Mae ei wyneb yn ddifrifol ond canolbwyntiedig, yn wynebu'r heriau a ddaw i lawr y môr.
En: His face is serious but focused, facing the challenges that the sea brings.

Cy: Er bod ei swyddfa yn edrych yn arbennig o unig, heddiw mae gwmni.
En: Although his office often looks particularly lonely, today he has company.

Cy: Mae Carys, ei chwaer annwyl, wedi cyrraedd gyda phosib sachaid o cennin pedr i ddathlu Dydd Gŵyl Dewi yn ogystal ag eira newydd o dwymyn.
En: Carys, his dear sister, has arrived with a bunch of daffodils to celebrate Dydd Gŵyl Dewi as well as a fresh flurry of fever.

Cy: “Rhys, mae rhywbeth cyffrous am fod yma,” meddai Carys, ei llais yn lifo gyda thwymyn yr ŵyl.
En: “Rhys, there's something exciting about being here,” said Carys, her voice flowing with the festival's warmth.

Cy: Rhoddodd law ar ei fraich, yn deall pwysau ei gyfrifoldebau.
En: She placed a hand on his arm, understanding the weight of his responsibilities.

Cy: Yn gyflym, taranodd y storm.
En: Quickly, the storm thundered.

Cy: Mae'r gwynt yn chwythu fel galwad o forbysweithiau ac mae dŵr y môr yn lluosi'n ymledol tuag at y clogwyni.
En: The wind blows like a call of maritime storms, and the sea water expands aggressively towards the cliffs.

Cy: Yn y seibiannau rhwng sŵn y gwynt, dynodir sain arall.
En: In the gaps between the sound of the wind, another sound is marked.

Cy: Mae'n Emrys, yn awyddus i gyfrannu ei allu, er ei fod heb gyhoedd.
En: It's Emrys, eager to contribute his ability, even without being asked.

Cy: “Gad i mi helpu!” galwodd Emrys, ei lais yn befrio gyda rhagdybiaeth a brwdfrydedd ieuenctaidd.
En: “Let me help!” called Emrys, his voice sparkling with youthful anticipation and enthusiasm.

Cy: “Ond beth am y goleu?” meddai Rhys, yn chwilio am barlys delweddol, gan nodi bod y goleu bellach wedi pylu i ollwng tawelni dros yr eigion.
En: “But what about the light?” said Rhys, searching for a decisive paralysis, noting that the light had now dimmed, casting calm over the ocean.

Cy: Rhys wnaeth penderfyniad.
En: Rhys made a decision.

Cy: Drwy oddef ei fryd cywirdeb, penderfynodd gydweithio.
En: By embracing his better judgment, he decided to collaborate.

Cy: “Ie, Emrys, helmedd i lawr i helpu.”
En: “Yes, Emrys, helmet down to help.”

Cy: Gyda’i gilydd, a dadaelod dros y penrhewau, gweithredodd y gadgetiaid.
En: Together, slipping over the icy paths, they operated the gadgets.

Cy: Carys, yn cymysgu cyngor a chalon, yn cynnal llaw Emrys bob amser.
En: Carys, mixing advice and heart, constantly held Emrys's hand.

Cy: Fel dangnef talennig, diflannodd y pwer.
En: As a remarkable peace offering, the power vanished.

Cy: Sleifiodd disgwyliad ag ystron fawr o anobaith.
En: Expectation sneaked in with a large dose of despair.

Cy: Yna, newidiodd rhywbeth.
En: Then, something changed.

Cy: Fel pe na bai mewn ysbrydoliaeth, tynodd Carys sylw at y switsh wrthysig, ac mewn cloc allan o amser, llwyddodd i droi’r golau yn ei ôl, yn shiawns llithro golau, gyda chymorth Rhys ac Emrys.
En: As if by inspiration, Carys pointed out the stubborn switch, and in a timeless tick, managed to turn the light back on, with a sliding chance of light, aided by Rhys and Emrys.

Cy: Hyd at lan y bore, barodd y golau, yn torri trwy feddw i’r wymbisodion pell.
En: Until the break of dawn, the light lasted, cutting through the mist to the distant sailors.

Cy: Wedi diwedd y storm, edrychodd Rhys allan dros y môr.
En: After the storm ended, Rhys looked out over the sea.

Cy: Teimlai bodolaeth iachus o lawenydd, ar refeniw lawn.
En: He felt a healthy existence of joy, a full revenue.

Cy: Gwelodd yn amlwg bod cysylltiad, nid yn unig ond gwir ffrind, yn dod â chynhwysiant i’r rôl unigol.
En: He clearly saw that connection, not just true friendship, brought inclusion to the solitary role.

Cy: "Mewn gwirionedd," meddai Rhys, gan ddarllen yr arwyddion heb ddiarddel teimladau, “dwi heb sylweddoli tan yma bod mwy i fywyd na dim ond dyletswyddau unigol.”
En: "In truth," said Rhys, reading the signs without dismissing feelings, “I haven't realized until now that there's more to life than just individual duties.”

Cy: A'r tri, Rhys, Carys a Emrys, a fu wedyn yr hedd dydd, ymwelodd eu henaid gan Gymru yn gwefreiddio.
En: And the three, Rhys, Carys, and Emrys, then enjoyed the peaceful day, their spirits thrilled by Cymru.

Cy: Wrth i’r haul cynhesu’r môr, cerddon nhw rhwng y dyfarnog o argraff heddychlon, yn deall bod nerth go iawn yn gorwedd, nid yn unig mewn llafur, ond hefyd mewn gydaethu pobl.
En: As the sun warmed the sea, they walked amidst the calm impressions, understanding that true strength lies not only in labor but also in human connection.

Cy: Mae’r haul yn tywynnu’n gryf drwy wydr y Tŷ Gwydr Mawr yn Ardd Fotaneg Genedlaethol Cymru.
En: The sun shines brightly through the glass of the Great Glasshouse in the Ardd Fotaneg Genedlaethol Cymru.

Cy: Mae Eira a Dafydd yn cerdded i mewn, gyda’r golau yn taflu cysgodion bach ar y llawr o’r dail sy’n siglo.
En: Eira and Dafydd walk inside, with the light casting small shadows on the floor from the swaying leaves.

Cy: "Mae’n hyfryd yma, Dafydd," meddai Eira, gan gyffwrdd dail glaswellt tal wrth iddynt gerdded heibio i’r ddrysfa o flodau lliwgar.
En: "It’s lovely here, Dafydd," said Eira, touching the tall grass leaves as they walk past the maze of colorful flowers.

En: Eira maps her path to her treasure, the perfect spring plant that will crown her competitive garden.

Cy: "Mae’n braf, ond dwi’n dal ddim yn deall pam fod rhaid iddo fod y planhigyn hwnnw," atebodd Dafydd, gan edrych yn isel ei galon wrth edrych ar y rhesi o blanhigion prin.
En: "It’s nice, but I still don’t understand why it has to be that plant," Dafydd replied, looking downhearted while gazing at the rows of rare plants.

Cy: "Mae’n simbol o ddechreuadau newydd, Dafydd," meddai Eira, wrth ei thynnu ymlaen.
En: "It’s a symbol of new beginnings, Dafydd," Eira said, pulling him along.

Cy: Mae ei llaw yn cau’n ysgafn o amgylch y darlun sydd ganddi yn ei phen, o ardd sy’n denu edmygedd ac yn ennill clod.
En: Her hand gently closes around the picture she has in her mind of a garden that attracts admiration and earns praise.

Cy: "A bydd yn gwneud fy ngardd yn unigryw."
En: "And it will make my garden unique."

Cy: Maen nhw’n crwydro rhwng y planhigion trawiadol, pob un yn cynnig rhywbeth gwahanol – lliw, siâp, neu arogl.
En: They wander among the striking plants, each offering something different—color, shape, or scent.

Cy: Ond dim ond un planhigyn all ddod â gweledigaeth Eira i fywyd: y planhigyn prin hwnnw sydd fel petai’n cuddio o’u golwg.
En: But only one plant can bring Eira's vision to life: that rare plant which seems to be hiding from their view.

En: They sit for a break in the cafe area surrounded by beautiful flowers.

Cy: Mae'r awyr yn llawn arogl melys llwyni persawrus.
En: The air is full of the sweet scent of fragrant shrubs.

Cy: "Edrych, Dafydd!" Mae hi’n cyffroi, yn pwyntio at gornel ddiarffordd lle mae’r planhigyn arbennig yn sefyll gyda phiser bach taer.
En: "Look, Dafydd!" She exclaims, pointing to a secluded corner where the special plant stands with a small enthusiastic pitcher.

Cy: Ond wedyn mae ei dagrau lawen yn troi i bryder wrth weld y pris.
En: But then her tears of joy turn to concern upon seeing the price.

Cy: "Mae’n ddrud iawn," meddai Dafydd gan edrych ar ei hawen, "ond os yw’n wir gystal â ti’n meddwl..."
En: "It’s very expensive," said Dafydd, looking at his wallet, "but if it’s truly as good as you think..."

Cy: Eira’n edrych yn ôl ar y planhigyn.
En: Eira looks back at the plant.

Cy: Mae hi’n ystyried.
En: She considers it.

Cy: Pwrs y banc yn y naill law, ond gweledigaeth am be gallai ddod gyda’r planhigyn yn y llall.
En: The bank balance in one hand, but the vision of what could come with the plant in the other.

Cy: Yn sydyn, mae dychweliad Dafydd yn ei chefnogi’n gwneud hi’n penderfynu.
En: Suddenly, Dafydd's supportive return makes her decide.

Cy: "Byddaf yn prynu’r planhigyn," mae’n datgan, gan wyneb lenwi o benderfyniad.
En: "I will buy the plant," she declares, her face full of determination.

Cy: "Bydd yr ardd wedi’i gyflawni yn werth ymdrech ac efallai..." Mae hi’n gwenu yn berffaith, "efallai byddaf yn ennill y gystadleuaeth."
En: "The garden accomplished will be worth the effort and maybe..." She smiles perfectly, "maybe I will win the competition."

Cy: Dafydd yn deall yn awr.
En: Dafydd understands now.

Cy: Mae’n codi golwg at yr haul llachar drwy’r to gwydr.
En: He raises his gaze to the bright sun through the glass roof.

Cy: "Wi’n meddwl y byddi di’n gwneud hynny hefyd."
En: "I think you will do that as well."

Cy: Maent yn prynu’r planhigyn, nawr yn llawn gobaith ac yn barod ar gyfer cynhyrfu’r gwanwyn, gyda bywyd newydd wedi dechrau i’r ddau.
En: They purchase the plant, now full of hope and ready for the exhilaration of spring, with a new life having begun for both of them.

Cy: Mae Dafydd, er yn llai cyffrous am y planhigion, yn edrych ymlaen nawr at weld y gŵrthres.
En: Dafydd, though less excited about the plants, now looks forward to seeing the outcome.

Cy: Mae gobaith Eira fel dail sy’n agor yn ein harbed, ac mae ysbryd Dafydd hefyd yn tyfu wrth ochr ei chariad at natur.

Cy: "Mae newid yn beth da weithiau," myfyriai Aneira, gan gymryd anadl ddofn.

Story Transcript:

Cy: Eira sefyll yn glos at ffenestr y siop fach yn y mynyddoedd Cymreig.
En: Eira stood close to the window of the small shop in the Cymreig mountains.

Cy: Gwenu, mae hi'n dal ei ffôn gyda'i llaw dde, mewn gobaith i glywed llais anwyl ei phartner.
En: Smiling, she held her phone with her right hand, hoping to hear the beloved voice of her partner.

Cy: Byrddau a silffoedd yn llawn daioni lleol oedd o'i hamgylch, ac ysbryd gwyliau Gŵyl Padrig yn llenwi'r awyr.
En: Around her, tables and shelves were full of local goodness, and the holiday spirit of St. Padrig’s Festival filled the air.

Cy: "Ti’n gweld," meddai Eira, yn symud y camera o amgylch y siop.
En: "You see," said Eira, moving the camera around the shop.

Cy: "Dyma'r bara ciabatta rwyt ti'n hoffi."
En: "Here's the ciabatta bread you like."

Cy: Roedd ei phartner ar ben arall y blaned, ond roedd hi'n benderfynol o wneud i'r siop fwyd deimlo'n fel diwrnod llawn hwyl gyda'i gilydd.
En: Her partner was on the other side of the world, but she was determined to make the grocery shopping feel like a fun-filled day together.

Cy: Roedd symudiad cynnar y gwanwyn i’w gweld, gyda blodau'n dechrau torri drwodd i'r goleuni.
En: Early spring movement was visible, with flowers starting to break through into the light.

Cy: Roedd hiraeth yn llenwi ei chalon, ond cysur oedd cael gwylio ei phartner yn gwên a sgwrsio dros y sgrin.
En: Longing filled her heart, but there was comfort in watching her partner grin and chat over the screen.

Cy: Yna, diflannodd y cysylltiad.
En: Then, the connection disappeared.

Cy: "O, dim byd newydd," meddai Eira wrth y siopwr wrth fynd tu allan i chwilio am signal gwell.
En: "Oh, nothing new," said Eira to the shopkeeper as she went outside to search for a better signal.

Cy: Cerddodd tua'r bryniau, gobeithio am well signal.
En: She walked towards the hills, hoping for a better signal.

Cy: Roedd yr awel oer yn curo ar ei hwyneb wrth iddi sefyll mewn man agored.
En: The cold breeze beat against her face as she stood in an open spot.

Cy: Yn sydyn, daeth y llais yn ôl, braidd yn glaear, "Eira?"
En: Suddenly, the voice returned, slightly crackling, "Eira?"

Cy: "Ydw, rydw i yma!" gwaeddodd hi gyda'i galon yn ysgafnach.
En: "Yes, I’m here!" she shouted, her heart lighter.

Cy: Dyma'r eiliadau bach oedd yn golygu'r byd iddi.
En: These were the small moments that meant the world to her.

Cy: Daliodd y ffôn uwch ei phen, er mwyn cael yr ymddiddan gorau.
En: She held the phone above her head to get the best conversation.

Cy: "Ti'n gwybod beth? Pan fydda i'n gweld y mynyddoedd yma, dw i'n teimlo fel fy mod i'n agosach atat ti," meddai ei phartner.
En: "You know what? When I see these mountains, I feel like I'm closer to you," her partner said.

Cy: Treuliwyd y funud nesaf yn dweud helo a ffarwel, cyn i gysylltiad y ffôn golli eto.
En: The next minute was spent exchanging hellos and goodbyes, before the phone connection dropped again.

Cy: Ond Eira nawr yn teimlo ymlaen ymlaen llaw.
En: But Eira now felt ahead of time.

Cy: Roedd hi'n deall faint oedd bob eiliad bach o gysylltiad yn werth.
En: She understood how much was every little moment of connection worth.

Cy: Gorffennodd Eira siopa.
En: Eira finished her shopping.

Cy: Roedd ei basged yn llawn o gynnyrch Cymreig, ac yn ei chalon roedd hi'n llawn o obaith newydd.
En: Her basket full of Welsh produce, and in her heart, she was full of renewed hope.

Cy: Roedd hi'n gwybod y byddai amser pan fyddai hi a'i phartner yn rhannu'r taith hon go iawn.
En: She knew there would be a time when she and her partner would share this journey for real.

Cy: Daeth y gwanwyn i'r mynyddoedd, ac ynghyd â hynny, newydd feddylfryd i Eira.
En: Spring came to the mountains, and along with it, a new mindset for Eira.

Cy: Roedd hi bob amser yn gweld ffordd ymlaen, hyd yn oed drwy'r diffygion technegol.
En: She always saw a way forward, even through the technical glitches.

Cy: Roedd yr hyn roedd hi'n chwilio amdano'n aml ar gael yn eiliadau bach.
En: What she was often looking for was found in small moments.

Cy: Roedd y mynyddoedd nid yn unig yn ei herio, ond hefyd yn ei chysuro.
En: The mountains not only challenged her but also comforted her.
