Story Transcript:

Cy: Ar ddiwrnod braf o haf, roedd yr haul yn tywynnu dros Barc Cenedlaethol Bannau Brycheiniog, gan greu glesni ar y bryniau pell.
En: On a lovely summer's day, the sun was shining over the Parc Cenedlaethol Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons National Park), casting a sheen on the distant hills.

Cy: Roedd Gwen, Rhys, a Carys yn sefyll gyda'u dosbarth mewn cae llawn blodau gwyllt.
En: Gwen, Rhys, and Carys were standing with their class in a field full of wildflowers.

Cy: Roedd yr awyr yn llawn arogl melys y blodau, a phopeth o'u cwmpas yn llonydd ac yn brydferth.
En: The air was filled with the sweet scent of the flowers, and everything around them was still and beautiful.

Cy: Er bod Gwen wrth ei bodd yn y mynyddoedd, roedd hi'n teimlo'n nerfus.
En: Even though Gwen loved being in the mountains, she felt nervous.

Cy: Roedd rhuthr cyson o bryder yn ei bol wrth iddi edrych ar ei chyd-ddisgyblion.
En: A constant rush of worry filled her stomach as she looked at her classmates.

Cy: Roedd hi'n wybodus am y natur, ond roedd hi'n ofni na fyddai'n ffitio i mewn gyda'r lleill.
En: She knew a lot about nature, but she feared she wouldn't fit in with the others.

Cy: Roedd hi wedi darllen am flodyn prin ynglŷn â'r Blewlys Broga.
En: She had read about a rare flower, the Blewlys Broga.

Cy: Roedd hi'n gwybod bod y blodyn hwnnw'n tyfu yma, ac roedden nhw ar daith maes — cyfle perffaith i'w gael.
En: She knew that flower grew here, and they were on a field trip — a perfect opportunity to find it.

Cy: Wrth i'r dosbarth symud ymlaen, roedd Gwen yn troedio'n araf, yn pendroni beth i'w wneud.
En: As the class moved on, Gwen walked slowly, pondering what to do.

Cy: Gwelodd lwybr llai traddodiadol yn arwain i ffwrdd o'r grup.
En: She saw a less traditional path leading away from the group.

Cy: Ei galon yn curo, penderfynodd Gwen gymryd y cwrs annhymerus hwnnw.
En: With her heart pounding, Gwen decided to take this unconventional route.

Cy: Roedd ei dwymyn angerddol am y blodyn yn talu ffordd â hi.
En: Her passionate enthusiasm for the flower was guiding her.

Cy: Fel roedd hi'n mynd, creadigaeth lush y parc yn ei hamgylchynnu, daeth hi o hyd i'r blodyn prin o'r diwedd, yn blodeuo'n falch o flaen ei llygaid.
En: As she ventured forth, surrounded by the lush creation of the park, she finally found the rare flower blooming proudly before her eyes.

Cy: Yno, yn mynedi mewn lle iawn ei hun, gally hi weld harddwch y Blewlys Broga o'i flaen.
En: There, in that solitary place, she could see the beauty of the Blewlys Broga before her.

Cy: Roedd yr eiliad honno'n berffaith; Gwen yn teimlo'n llawn o'r teimlad annhybied y gallai hi gyflawni rhywbeth mawr.
En: That moment was perfect; Gwen felt full of the unexpected feeling that she could accomplish something great.

Cy: Ond wedyn, sylweddolodd Gwen ei bod hi wedi crwydro rhy bell.
En: But then, Gwen realized she had wandered too far.

Cy: Roedd y cyffro wedi'i dallu — doedd hi ddim yn gwybod sut i ddod yn ôl at y dosbarth.
En: The excitement had blinded her, and she didn't know how to return to the class.

Cy: Dechreuodd hi ymateb, ond yna ymlaciodd.
En: She began to panic, but then she calmed down.

Cy: Aeth hi'n dawel, a dechreuodd feddwl ar sut i ddod yn ôl.
En: She went quiet and started thinking about how to get back.

Cy: Roedd hi'n gwybod ei bod hi'n gallu trin yr her yma.
En: She knew she could handle this challenge.

Cy: Gan ddefnyddio ei gwybodaeth am y parc a’i hymdeimlad naturiol o gyfeiriad, llwyddodd Gwen i ddod yn ôl i'r grŵp yn ddigon diogel.
En: Using her knowledge of the park and her natural sense of direction, Gwen managed to return safely to the group.

Cy: Doedd neb wedi sylwi ei bod wedi bod i ffwrdd.
En: No one had noticed she had been away.

Cy: Teimlai Gwen yn falch iawn ohoni ei hun.
En: Gwen felt very proud of herself.

Cy: Roedd hi’n teimlo’n gryfach.
En: She felt stronger.

Cy: Roedd hi wedi dod yn ôl yn fwy hyderus, a gellid ymddiried yn ei hathroniaeth ei hun — ac efallai, yn y pen draw, mewn ei pherson ei hun.
En: She had come back more confident, and she could trust her own judgment — and perhaps, eventually, herself.

Cy: Fel roedd yr haul yn troi'n goch dros y bryniau, roedd Gwen yn gwenu.
En: As the sun turned red over the hills, Gwen was smiling.

Cy: Roedd hi wedi gweld blodyn y Blewlys Broga.
En: She had found the Blewlys Broga flower.

Cy: Roedd hi wedi dysgu rhywbet newydd am y byd a'i hunan.
En: She had learned something new about the world and herself.

Cy: Roedd y Bannau Brycheiniog wedi ei newid hi.
En: The Bannau Brycheiniog had changed her.

Cy: Roedd yr haf yn datblygu, ac felly hefyd Gwen.
En: Summer was unfolding, and so was Gwen.

Story Transcript:

Cy: Y bore haf hwnnw, roedd cledr y gwynt wedi godro drwy'r tir agored, gan chwarae gyda'r defaid yng nghaeau perlog Eryri.
En: That summer morning, the palm of the wind had grazed through the open land, playing with the sheep in the pearly fields of Eryri.

Cy: Dal y trên oedd Eleri a Gareth, dau hen ffrindiau sydd wedi penderfynu treulio diwrnod yng nghanol natur.
En: Eleri and Gareth were catching the train, two old friends who had decided to spend the day in the midst of nature.

Cy: Roedd Eleri yn berson brwdfrydig, bob amser yn barod am antur newydd.
En: Eleri was an enthusiastic person, always ready for a new adventure.

Cy: Gareth, er bod ei feddwl yn llawn freuddwydion, roedd wedi cael ei besgi gan fywyd y ddinas.
En: Gareth, though his mind was full of dreams, had been fattened by city life.

Cy: Roedd y ddinesyddiaeth, fel cap ar ei bwyll, yn ei ddal yn gaeth.
En: Urban living, like a cap on his sensibility, held him captive.

Cy: Roedd Eleri'n gwybod hyn, a'i bwriad heddiw oedd newid hynny.
En: Eleri knew this, and her intention today was to change that.

Cy: Wrth i'r trên wahoddi'r golygfeydd mwya godidog o dirlun Cymru, roedd Gareth yn edrych drwy'r ffenestr, ei feddwl yn hedfan.
En: As the train invited the most spectacular views of Wales' landscape, Gareth looked through the window, his thoughts flying.

Cy: "Mae rhywbeth mor heddychlon amdano," meddai Gareth, ei lais yn drwm a llawn cywilydd.
En: "There's something so peaceful about it," said Gareth, his voice heavy and full of shame.

Cy: Eleri wnaeth edrych arno, ac roedd ei llygaid yn llawn gwreichionen.
En: Eleri looked at him, and her eyes sparkled with excitement.

Cy: "Gad i ni anghofio'r trefn.
En: "Let's forget the routine.

Cy: Gad i ni fynd i le mae'r gwan wyn yn gwingo'n wyrdd.
En: Let's go to where the faint spring twinkles green.

Cy: Teimlaf fod angen i ti weld rhywbeth go iawn heddiw.
En: I feel you need to see something real today."

Cy: "Cyn iddo allu protestio, dyma'r trên yn stopio'n annisgwyl.
En: Before he could protest, the train stopped unexpectedly.

Cy: Dim cynllun, dim amserlen - yn union fel roedd Eleri'n hoffi.
En: No plan, no timetable - just as Eleri liked.

Cy: "Awn am dro bach," gwrandawodd Gareth ar Eleri yn dweud, ei llais yn fraich o olau yn tynnu ef allan o'r cawell tywyll.
En: "Let's go for a little walk," Gareth heard Eleri say, her voice a ray of light pulling him out of the dark cage.

Cy: Penderfynodd Gareth adael ei bryderon ar y trên a dilyn Eleri.
En: Gareth decided to leave his worries on the train and follow Eleri.

Cy: Nid oedd yr amserlen bellach yn bwysig.
En: The schedule was no longer important.

Cy: Roedd y golygfeydd yn ail-lunio ei feddyliau.
En: The views were reshaping his thoughts.

Cy: Pan wladychont y llecyn cudd hwnnw, oedd yn ogofa o heddwch rhwng dau mynydd aruchel, teimlai Gareth rywbeth yn newid.
En: When they discovered that hidden spot, a cave of peace between two majestic mountains, Gareth felt something change.

Cy: "Mae'n hyfryd," meddai, ei lygaid wedi'u disgleirio gyda rhywbeth mwy na golau haul.
En: "It's beautiful," he said, his eyes shimmering with something more than sunlight.

Cy: Roedd hwn yn foment iddo, heb ei ofnau cyffredinol, yn cael ei lyfnhau gan yr awel a'r sbectrwm natur.
En: This was a moment for him, his usual fears smoothed by the breeze and the spectrum of nature.

Cy: "Dwedodd i ti," chwarddodd Eleri, yn gweld yr ildio yn Gareth.
En: "I told you," laughed Eleri, seeing the surrender in Gareth.

Cy: Roedd y dyffryn yn bwrw hud arno.
En: The valley cast a spell on him.

Cy: O fewn y tawelwch hwn, teimlai, am y tro cyntaf, nad oedd raid iddo ddianc.
En: Within this silence, he felt, for the first time, that he didn’t need to escape.

Cy: Yn hytrach, roedd yn dod o hyd i'r amser, yn clywed curiad y ddaear o dan ei draed.
En: Rather, he was finding the time, hearing the beat of the earth beneath his feet.

Cy: Diolchodd Gareth i Eleri am ei chymell i roi eu trais adra a gadael iddo agor ei galon.
En: Gareth thanked Eleri for urging him to leave their urban confines and allowing his heart to open.

Cy: "Diolch i ti," meddai, "rwy'n gweld mwy o glirdeb na dwi erioed wedi'i wneud o'r blaen.
En: "Thank you," he said, "I see more clarity than I ever have before."

Cy: "Wrth iddynt droi yn ôl tuag at y trên, roedd nid yn unig y golau wedi newid, ond cyfan bywyd Gareth.
En: As they turned back toward the train, not only had the light changed, but Gareth's entire life.

Cy: Roedd o bellach yn ddigon rhydd i ddawnsio'n y gwynt a mwynhau pob anadl o fywyd.
En: He was now free enough to dance in the wind and enjoy every breath of life.

Cy: Roedd y teithiad wedi'i drawsnewid, o roofn, i amserlen annisgwyl byrlymus o ffordd genffaith bywyd.
En: The journey had transformed, from mundane, to an unexpectedly joyful timetable on the path of life's essence.

Story Transcript:

Cy: Wrth gerdded trwy'r bryniau tonnog o'r Bannau Brycheiniog, roedd yr awyr yn gymysg o gymylau llwyd a phrydau haul yma a thraw.
En: As he walked through the rolling hills of the Bannau Brycheiniog, the sky was a mix of grey clouds and patches of sunshine here and there.

Cy: Roedd Emrys, dewr fel arfer, wrth ei fodd gyda llwydni tawel ei hoff fynyddoedd.
En: Emrys, brave as usual, was delighted with the quiet greyness of his favorite mountains.

Cy: Roedd y sŵn y gwynt yn curo'r dail a'r teimlad o unigedd yn rhoi hiraeth iddo, oni bai am ei ffon gerdded ffrindlon.
En: The sound of the wind rustling the leaves and the feeling of solitude filled him with longing, if not for his trusty walking stick.

Cy: Ond heddiw, roedd ganddo gwmni annisgwyl.
En: But today, he had unexpected company.

Cy: Gwenllian, merch ifanc â'i llygaid yn llachar, ond braidd yn anobeithiol yn y byd o fynyddoedd uchelgeisiol, roedd hi'n ymlafnio ar ôl troed Emrys.
En: Gwenllian, a young girl with bright eyes, felt somewhat overwhelmed by the ambitious mountain world, struggling to follow in Emrys' footsteps.

Cy: Teimlai embaras wrth syrthio, gan anafu ei chlymwr yn y ffordd danau.
En: She felt embarrassed as she stumbled, injuring her ankle lightly.

Cy: Roedd poen ac ofn yn troelli yn ei meddwl, ei hymdrech fyrfwyll i godi yn ofer.
En: Pain and fear swirled in her mind, her reckless effort to stand up was in vain.

Cy: Emrys, er yn rhywun i werthfawrogi ei unigedd, daeth at ei chwymp.
En: Emrys, though someone who usually appreciated his solitude, came to her fall.

Cy: Gyda natur anweledig Cymru, teimlodd gyfrifoldeb i'r dihangolan hon.
En: With the invisible nature of Cymru, he felt a responsibility to this wanderer.

Cy: "Dyn ni fynd â ti adre," dwedodd, ei lais ychydig yn llacach wrth iddo estyn y llaw.
En: "Let's get you home," he said, his voice slightly softer as he extended his hand.

Cy: Gwelodd Gwenllian y caredigrwydd yn ei lygaid, felly penderfynodd ddilyn ei arweiniad.
En: Gwenllian saw the kindness in his eyes, so she decided to follow his lead.

Cy: Roedd y llwybrau'n gorseddu wrth iddynt wneud eu hail ffordd.
En: The paths were muddy as they made their way back.

Cy: Y gwaer uwchben yn cyflenwi cawodydd glaw anghyson, heidiol i'r dŵr i lawr y ffridd.
En: The skies above supplied inconsistent showers, urging the water down the hillside.

Cy: Emrys, yn dal Gwenllian yn gadarn, dechreuodd eu taith araf yr ochr i lawr.
En: Emrys, holding Gwenllian firmly, began their slow journey downhill.

Cy: Y ffordd yn llithrig, ond roedd yn gwybod o hyd yr holl droedffyrdd (llwybrau coediog) yn y mynyddoedd hyn.
En: The path was slippery, but he knew all the trails (wooded paths) in these mountains.

Cy: Dim ond pan gyrhaeddwyd dyffryn yr angen cyn chynted ag y cyrhaeddodd y pentref, roedd yr haul wedi dechrau lledaenu'i fflam drostynt.
En: It was only as they reached the valley, as soon as they arrived in the village, that the sun began to spread its glow over them.

Cy: Roeddent wedi gorffen eu taith gyda bodlonrwydd a blinder yn cyfuno yng nghalonau'r ddau.
En: They had finished their trek with a mix of satisfaction and tiredness in their hearts.

Cy: Sylweddolodd Emrys y gwaith caled a chydweithrediad yn gallu creu cysylltiadau mentrus.
En: Emrys realized that hard work and collaboration could forge venturesome connections.

Cy: Ar ben arall, crwydrodd Gwenllian gartref gyda pharch newydd at y bryniau a'r bobl lawygiadfud, y rhai sy'n gwybod y ffordd.
En: On the other hand, Gwenllian wandered home with newfound respect for the hills and the dignified people, those who know the way.

Cy: Roeddent ill dau â gwersi newydd, gwersi a fyddai'n arwain at ei gilydd yn yr eiliadau tawel hynny.
En: Both had new lessons, lessons that would guide them to one another in those quiet moments.

Cy: Ac felly, roedd yr haul yn machlud, gan adael heddwch yn ei ôl, tra roedd Emrys ac enw Gwenllian yn cael ei ddal gan y gwynt o gyfeillgarwch newydd.
En: And so, the sun set, leaving peace in its wake, while Emrys and the name Gwenllian were carried by the wind of newfound friendship.

Cy: Roedd y lleuad wedi syrthio dros Ynys Y Barri.
En: The moon had fallen over Ynys Y Barri.

Cy: Roedd yr awyr nos yn llawn ser a'r sŵn yn llawn o chwerthin plant.
En: The night sky was full of stars and the air brimming with the laughter of children.

Cy: Roedd y ffair haf yn ei llwyr fflachio.

Cy: "Mae'n lle prysur yma heddiw," meddalodd Rhys, gan geisio sgwrsio tra'n aros.
En: "It's a busy place here today," Rhys murmured, trying to make conversation while waiting.

Cy: "Wrth gwrs! Mae Barry Island bob amser yn fywiog yn yr haf," atebodd Nia yn wên.
En: "Of course! Barry Island is always lively in the summer," Nia replied with a smile.

Cy: Yn gyffyrddus, dechreuon nhw siarad.
En: Comfortably, they began to chat.

Cy: Nid oedd y ddau yn chwilio am serch, ond roedd sgwrs yn llifo'n naturiol.
En: Neither was looking for romance, but the conversation flowed naturally.

Cy: Gyda phryniant brechdanau pastai cig oen yn eu dwylo, penderfynodd Rhys anturio.
En: With lamb pie sandwiches in their hands, Rhys decided to venture.

Cy: “Yn ôl gyda fi i archwilio mwy o'r ffair?” Gofynnodd yn sydyn.
En: “Back with me to explore more of the fair?” He asked suddenly.

Cy: Roedd Nia yn synnu.
En: Nia was surprised.

Cy: Rhywbeth yn ei hannog i osod y diwrnod ar ei oreuoedd.
En: Something urged her to make the day memorable.

Cy: "Pam lai?" meddai, gan wenu yn fwy llachar nag erioed.
En: "Why not?" she said, smiling brighter than ever.

Cy: Aeth Rhys a Nia o un atyniad i'r llall, llawn o lawenydd a bandiau gorymdeithio.
En: Rhys and Nia went from one attraction to another, filled with joy and marching bands.

Cy: Teimlwyd rhyddid yn gorfodi eu galwadau, wrth iddynt wibio o gwmpas y Ferris Wheel.
En: A sense of freedom compelled their calls as they rushed around the Ferris Wheel.

Cy: Yn y man uchaf, menywodd y byd islaw.
En: At the highest point, the world below disappeared.

Cy: Ymganifeiliodd yr edrychnydd ac onid oedd Rhys a Nia yn camarwain am yr awyr presennol.
En: The view expanded, and Rhys and Nia marveled at the present sky.

Cy: "Ddim colli rhywle i glywed y swn," meddai Nia gydag urddas.
En: "Not missing a place to hear the sound," said Nia with grandeur.

Cy: "Nac ydyw. Rwy'n gweld i fod yma," atebodd Rhys yn syml.
En: "Indeed. I'm meant to be here," Rhys answered simply.

Cy: Y ddau o'r ddadansoddiad hwnnw bod ganddynt fwy mewn cyffredin nag y tybiwyd gyntaf.
En: Both from that analysis realized they had more in common than initially thought.

Cy: Wrth iddynt ddarganfod bodlonrwydd oddi wrth fynd ar hyd y glannau byd a'r gwerth graffiti lliwgar.
En: As they discovered satisfaction in wandering along the world’s shores and the value of colorful graffiti.

Cy: "Tydi'n amser gadael y lle yma eto," addawodd Rhys, yn llawen y bydd ysgrifennu ar eu pen.
En: "It's not time to leave this place yet," promised Rhys, cheerfully that there would be more stories to write.

Cy: “A tybed pa hanes fydd yn cadw ni i’r lle yma?” Cidnawyd Nia, er mwyn dawelwch y prynhawn.
En: "And I wonder what tale will tether us to this place?" Nia remarked, for the peace of the afternoon.

Cy: A chytunasant ar ymchwil bryd hynny, er mai gwan y sied ninnau.
En: And they agreed on investigation then, even though we were strangers at the shed.

Cy: Copïodd enfawr o laithog i byrfa o ganolfannau.
En: Massive amounts of dampness cascaded into a burst of centers.

Cy: Treuliodd Rhys y canol haf yn estyn ei frwdfrydedd at y cysylltiad newydd, gan fod yn fwy agored i serch.
En: Rhys spent the mid-summer extending his enthusiasm to the new connection, becoming more open to affection.

Cy: Nia yn absenoldeb, hofodd iddi mai lle mae hi'n eiddo, a fydd efallai'n ei grymuso i ddal lan â hi.
En: In Nia's absence, she pondered that where she belonged might empower her to catch up with him.

Cy: Roedd awel arall o haf yn llenwi'r hud.
En: Another breeze of summer filled the magic.

Story Transcript:

Cy: Ar fore heulog yng nghanol haf, cerddodd Eira trwy strydoedd prydferth Rhiwderin.
En: On a sunny morning in the middle of summer, Eira walked through the beautiful streets of Rhiwderin.

Cy: Cafodd y pentref suburbanol ei amgylchynu gan fryniau glas a chytiau cerrig cain.
En: The suburban village was surrounded by green hills and elegant stone cottages.

Cy: Roedd y gerddi wedi'u trin yn berffaith, a'r awyrgylch yn llawn sŵn adar a chusanau bywiog y gwynt.
En: The gardens were perfectly tended, and the atmosphere was filled with the sound of birds and lively kisses of the wind.

Cy: Er iddi ymweld â'i fam-gu am yr haf, teimlai Eira yn ddiarth.
En: Although she was visiting her grandmother for the summer, Eira felt like a stranger.

Cy: Roedd Cai, ei chefnder, yn aros ar stepiau'r gât i’w chyfarch.
En: Cai, her cousin, was waiting on the gate steps to greet her.

Cy: "Sut wyt ti, Eira?" cychwynnodd e gyda gwên gynnes, tra’i bod hi'n brwydro i deimlo’n gartrefol.
En: "How are you, Eira?" he began with a warm smile, while she struggled to feel at home.

Cy: Roedd Gwyneth, ei modryb, yn paratoi paned wrth y bwrdd gegin, gan ei gwahodd i ymuno.
En: Gwyneth, her aunt, was preparing a cup of tea at the kitchen table, inviting her to join.

Cy: Lle roedd ei theulu'n llawn caredigrwydd, rhedodd Eira ei llaw trwy ei gwallt, yn teimlo fel y byddai'n hangach.
En: Where her family was full of kindness, Eira ran her hand through her hair, feeling like she would be lost.

Cy: Roedd y gegin yn llawn arogl bara ffres ac roedd y tŷ'n llawn atgofion, ond roedd Eira'n teimlo fel pe bai hi'n cael ei gwahardd o’u clwb arbennig.
En: The kitchen was full of the scent of fresh bread and the house full of memories, but Eira felt as if she was being excluded from their special club.

Cy: Felly, penderfynodd fynd ati i archwilio hen lyfr nodiadau.
En: So, she decided to go through an old notebook.

Cy: Yn ddiwedd y dydd, pan oedd y tywynnu haul eisoes yn canu lawer dipyn, dododd Eira un o gyfeillion ei mam-gu.
