Story Transcript:
Cy: Ar draethlin tawel, o dan leuad lwyd llydan, sefai Cerys.
En: On a quiet shoreline, under a wide gray moon, stood Cerys.
Cy: Roedd y noson yn dawel, a’r tonnau yn rholio’n gerddorol ar y traeth.
En: The night was calm, and the waves rolled musically onto the beach.
Cy: Roedd yma atgofion.
En: There were memories here.
Cy: Atgofion o cariad, chwerthin, a hapusrwydd.
En: Memories of love, laughter, and happiness.
Cy: Cerys a’i phriod, Dafydd, treuliodd bob haf yma.
En: Cerys and her husband, Dafydd, had spent every summer here.
Cy: Nawr, roedd hi yma ar ei phen ei hun.
En: Now, she was here alone.
Cy: Y golau lleuad yn castio cysgodion hir ar y tywod.
En: The moonlight cast long shadows on the sand.
Cy: Roedd y cwsg mor bell.
En: Sleep was so far away.
Cy: Roedd y dyddiau gyda Dafydd fel breuddwyd.
En: The days with Dafydd seemed like a dream.
Cy: Tynodd anadl ddofn a cherdded tuag at y don.
En: She took a deep breath and walked towards the wave.
Cy: “Wyt ti’n cofio?” dywedodd hi'n feddal, fel pe bai Dafydd yn dal i wrando.
En: “Do you remember?” she said softly, as if Dafydd were still listening.
Cy: Eisteddodd ar y tywod, y tu allan i hen le cudd.
En: She sat on the sand, outside their old hiding spot.
Cy: Roedd y llanw ar ei ffordd i mewn, gan adael cragen haul newydd sbon ger ei throed.
En: The tide was coming in, leaving a brand-new seashell near her foot.
Cy: Cymerodd hi’r gragen a dal at ei chalon.
En: She picked up the shell and held it to her heart.
Cy: Nofiodd cofion melys trwy ei meddwl.
En: Sweet memories floated through her mind.
Cy: “Rydw i’n dy golli,” whispered hi'n dawel, gan wylio’r tonnau’n rholio.
En: “I miss you,” she whispered quietly, watching the waves roll.
Cy: Roedd y tonnau yn ffrwydro ar y lan, megis ei theimladau ei hun yn ffrwydro yn ei chalon.
En: The waves crashed onto the shore, mirroring her feelings crashing in her heart.
Cy: Roedd aros yn mynd yn anodd.
En: Staying was becoming difficult.
Cy: Tynnodd ei hun i fyny, a cherdded i’w hoff le gyda Dafydd.
En: She pulled herself up and walked to her favorite spot with Dafydd.
Cy: Roedd hi’n ei wybod ymlaen llaw.
En: She knew it by heart.
Cy: Bob tro roedd Dafydd yn codi pabell fach, a gwylio’r ser gyda’i gilydd.
En: Every time, Dafydd would pitch a small tent, and they would watch the stars together.
Cy: Yn y fan honno, symudodd y tywod a darganfod hen bapur, wedi hir amser ei gladdu.
En: In that very spot, she moved the sand and found an old paper, long buried.
Cy: Roedd y galon yn curo wrth weld ei ysgrifen.
En: Her heart raced upon seeing his handwriting.
Cy: "Cerys, cariad fy mywyd, pan fyddi di’n darllen hwn, byddaf efallai wedi mynd. Ond cofia byw bywyd llawn a hapus. Cariad, Dafydd.”
En: “Cerys, love of my life, when you read this, I may be gone. But remember to live a full and happy life. Love, Dafydd.”
Cy: Y llanw yn dod yn nes, a’r dagrau’n llifo.
En: The tide was coming closer, and the tears were flowing.
Cy: Teimlai llaw Dafydd fel pe bai’n dal ei dwylo eto, megis gynt.
En: She felt Dafydd’s hand as if he were holding hers again, like before.
Cy: Llwyddodd i wenu trwy'r dagrau.
En: She managed to smile through the tears.
Cy: Efallai roedd hi’n amser symud ymlaen.
En: Maybe it was time to move on.
Cy: Roedd ei gariad wedi gadael canllaw.
En: Her love had left a guide.
Cy: Nawr roedd angen i’w urddo.
En: Now she needed to honor it.
Cy: Penderfynodd dŵad i’r mor fel yr arferent wneud.
En: She decided to head to the sea as they used to.
Cy: Roedd hi’n nofio i’r dŵr a theimlai llonyddwch yn pen draw.
En: She swam into the water and felt peace at last.
Cy: Cofiwyd ei hoiad.
En: She remembered his embrace.
Cy: A newid weddill o’i straeon cynt.
En: And shifted the remaining pages of their old stories.
Cy: Roedd y tonnau’n synfyfyrio.
En: The waves were reflective.
Cy: Roedd ei chalon lled-friwio, ond roedd hi’n barod i feiddio’r dyfodol.
En: Her heart, half-broken, but she was ready to dare the future.
Cy: Roedd angof Dafydd mor amlwg.
En: Dafydd’s absence was so clear.
Cy: Roedd ei choedan yn llonnau seren wedi gloywi.
En: His tree lit up like a freshly polished star.
Cy: Y bore wedyn, sefai Cerys ar gragen haul newydd yn cynnig cofleidiau newydd.
En: The next morning, Cerys stood on a new seashell offering fresh hugs.
Cy: Roedd y diwrnod cyntaf o’i bywyd newydd wedi cychwyn.
En: The first day of her new life had begun.
Cy: Roedd Dafydd yn rwystro hen holiadau.
En: Dafydd prevented old questions.
Cy: Ac felly, roedd Cerys yn canfod ei llwybr.
En: And so, Cerys found her path.
Cy: Roedd hi’n gwybod na fyddai byth ar ei phen ei hun; roedd atgofion ei serch tragwyddol yn byw gyda hi bob cam.
En: She knew she would never be truly alone; the memories of their eternal love lived with her every step.
Cy: Ac y tameidiau’n datblygu, dyna Cerys ar fore gweladwy, gyda chalon wedi’i lenwi a gobaith calonog.
En: And as the pieces fell into place, there stood Cerys on a clear morning, with a heart filled with hopeful joy.
Cy: Roedd hi’n barod i wynebu dyfodol llawn heb ei gwr, ond yn sionc yn cofio sêr tra’n nofio yn y môr eto.
En: She was ready to face a future full without her husband, yet jubilant in remembering the stars while swimming in the sea once more.

Cy: Dyma lle mae'r clogwyni serth yn cwrdd â'r traethau tywodlyd, a'r tai pinc a glas yn addurno'r tirwedd.
En: This was where the steep cliffs met the sandy beaches, and the pink and blue houses decorated the landscape.
Cy: Roedd cychod pysgota yn symud yn araf yn y porthladd, a'r môr yn sibrwd hanesion hen.
En: Fishing boats moved slowly in the harbor, and the sea whispered old stories.
Cy: Pan gyrhaeddodd Eira, cerddodd ar hyd y stryd fawr.
En: When Eira arrived, she walked along the main street.
Cy: Gwelodd hen ffrindiau ac adeiladau cyfarwydd, ond roedd y lle'n teimlo'n wahanol.

En: "Hi, Eira.
Cy: Sut mae’r byd mawr wedi dy drin di?
En: How has the big world treated you?"
Cy: ” gofynnodd Alun, gan wersylla yn ôl.
En: asked Alun, leaning back.
Cy: "Mae'n wych.
En: "It's great.
Cy: Ond rwy'n hapus i fod adref," atebodd Eira.
En: But I'm happy to be home," Eira replied.
Cy: "Da iawn.
En: "Good.
Cy: Ond beth wyt ti'n meddwl am y dre?
En: But what do you think of the town?"
Cy: " gofynnodd Alun.
En: asked Alun.
Cy: "Mae'n iawn ond efallai y gallwn newid rhai pethau," meddai Eira yn betrus.
En: "It's fine, but maybe we could change some things," said Eira hesitantly.
Cy: “Newid?
En: "Change?
Cy: Pa fath o newid?
En: What kind of change?"
Cy: ” croesholodd Alun.
En: Alun inquired.
Cy: "Wel, rwy’n meddwl am wirfoddoli yn yr wŷl leol.
En: "Well, I’m thinking about volunteering at the local festival.
Cy: Efallai bod gormodedd o hen bethau," meddai Eira gan edrych i lawr yn betrusgar.
En: Maybe there's too much old stuff," said Eira, looking down hesitantly.
Cy: Cymerodd Alun anadl ddofn.
En: Alun took a deep breath.
Cy: "Okay, os wyt ti'n meddwl felly.
En: "Okay, if you think so.
Cy: Mi ti wirfoddoli yn yr wŷl, fi 'di dy dywys," atebodd Alun yn gryf.
En: You volunteer at the festival, and I'll guide you," replied Alun strongly.
Cy: Roedd y ddau yn gwybod bod hyn yn arwyddocaol—y newydd a'r hen, y modern a'r traddodiadol.
En: They both knew this was significant—the new and the old, the modern and the traditional.
Cy: Wrth iddi fynd heibio, paratôdd y ddau am yr wŷl.
En: As time passed, the two prepared for the festival.

En: Alun showed Eira the old traditions.
Cy: Roedd Eira yn ceisio gwerthfawrogi popeth.
En: Eira tried to appreciate everything.
Cy: Ar ddiwrnod yr wŷl, digwyddodd rhywbeth annisgwyl.
En: On the day of the festival, something unexpected happened.
Cy: Dechreuodd y glaw trwm ac roedd y pabell gynnull am chwalu.
En: Heavy rain started, and the main tent was about to collapse.
Cy: Roedd angen gweithio gyda'i gilydd mewn amser byr er mwyn arbed yr wŷl.
En: They needed to work together quickly to save the festival.
Cy: “Cyflym!
En: "Quick!
Cy: Dal yr ochr hon!
En: Hold this side!"
Cy: ” gwaeddodd Alun.
En: shouted Alun.
Cy: Roedd Eira yno’n barod gyda hi.
En: Eira was ready with him.
Cy: Gyda’u hymdrechion, llwyddon nhw i achub yr wŷl.
En: With their efforts, they managed to save the festival.
Cy: Wedi’r storm, edrychodd Alun ar Eira a dywedodd, "Ti di gwneud yn dda.
En: After the storm, Alun looked at Eira and said, "You did well."
Cy: ""Diolch, Alun.
En: "Thank you, Alun.
Cy: Rwy'n gwerthfawrogi popeth," atebodd Eira, gyda gwen a llygad llawn dealltwriaeth.
En: I appreciate everything," Eira replied, with a smile and eyes full of understanding.
Cy: Wrth i'r diwrnod blymio, sylweddolwyd bod yr hen a'r newydd yn gallu cyd-fyw.
En: As the day progressed, they realized that the old and the new could coexist.
Cy: Roedd Eira yn uwch ben ei bodd wrth weld yr ymdrechion wedi dal y dyfodol a'r gorffennol gyda’i gilydd.
En: Eira was overjoyed to see that their efforts had held the future and the past together.
Cy: “Mae angen y traddodiadau, ond mae angen newid hefyd,” meddai Eira’n dawel.
En: "We need traditions, but we need change too," said Eira quietly.
Cy: "Cytuno," meddai Alun gan roi arwydd cytûn.
En: "Agreed," said Alun, giving a nod of agreement.
Cy: Roedd y dydd o hyd yn dangos iddynt y gallai newid ddod heb golli'r hunaniaeth naturiol.
En: The day had shown them that change could come without losing natural identity.
Cy: Ac felly, roeddent wedi darganfod ffyrdd o uno eu syniadau.
En: And so, they had discovered ways to unite their ideas.

Cy: Roedd Eira 'di dysgu’r dulliau, ac Alun yn fwy agored i newyddbethau.
En: Eira had learned the ways, and Alun was more open to new things.
Cy: Pan oedd y llanw’n codi, roedd y ddau yn gwybod eu bod wedi dod o hyd i gydbwysedd rhwng y gorffennol a’r dyfodol—yn y dref lle mae’r môr yn cwrdd â'r clogwyni, ac yn sibrwd ei hanesion hen a newydd.
En: When the tide rose, they both knew they had found a balance between the past and the future—in the town where the sea meets the cliffs and whispers its old and new stories.

En: Megan was too.
Cy: Roeddent ill dau yn caru mefus.
En: They both loved strawberries.
Cy: "Mae'r mefus yma'n edrych yn flasus iawn," dywedodd Rhys gyda gwên fach.
En: "These strawberries look very tasty," said Rhys with a small smile.
Cy: "Ydyn, wir!" atebodd Megan, "Ydw i newydd symud yma. Dw i'n chwilio am straeon lleol diddorol."
En: "Yes, indeed!" replied Megan, "I have just moved here. I'm looking for interesting local stories."
Cy: "Ti'n newydd yma? Beth wyt ti'n meddwl o Gaerffili hyd yn hyn?"
En: "You're new here? What do you think of Caerphilly so far?"
Cy: "Mae'n lle hyfryd, ond dwi'n teimlo ychydig yn unig," cyfaddefodd Megan.
En: "It's a lovely place, but I feel a bit lonely," Megan admitted.
Cy: "Dwi'n artist," meddai Rhys yn swil, "Dwi eisiau cael fy ngwaith yn cael ei adnabod. Ond... mae'n anodd."
En: "I'm an artist," Rhys said shyly, "I want my work to be recognized. But... it's difficult."
Cy: Megan yn edrych â diddordeb. "Beth am i mi weld dy waith? Falle gallaf ysgrifennu amdani."
En: Megan looked interested. "How about I see your work? Maybe I could write about it."

En: Rhys hesitated but felt a comfortable feeling with Megan. "Well, I have a small exhibition tomorrow night, if you would like to come..."

Cy: "Wow..." oedd ymateb cyntaf Megan. Roedd hi'n wirioneddol syfrdanol.
En: "Wow..." was Megan's first response. She was truly stunned.
Cy: Rhys yn gwenu, ond teimlai'n ansicr. "Beth wyt ti'n meddwl?"
En: Rhys smiled but felt uncertain. "What do you think?"

Story Transcript:
Cy: Y bore oedd yn gyfarch hael ac yn llonni i gynifer o deithiau, ac ni allai Carys a Rhodri ddechrau diwrnod gwell i'w hantur.
En: The morning greeted generously and cheered up many journeys, and Carys and Rhodri could not have started a better day for their adventure.
Cy: Cerddai Carys a Rhodri i fyny'r llwybr serth yn Eryri, y goleuni haul yn glir yn eu golygon.
En: Carys and Rhodri were walking up the steep path in Snowdonia, the sunlight clear in their sight.
Cy: Roedd Carys yn gyffroi.
En: Carys was excited.
Cy: Roedd hi'n barod i groesi pob anhawster i gyrraedd copa'r Wyddfa.
En: She was ready to overcome any difficulty to reach the peak of Snowdon.
Cy: Roedd Rhodri wrth ei hochr, yn dawelach ac yn llai siŵr.
En: Rhodri was by her side, quieter and less certain.
Cy: Roedd ofn uchder wedi dal ei afael arno'n drwm.
En: The fear of heights had gripped him heavily.
Cy: "Rydyn ni'n gallu gwneud hyn," meddai Carys yn benderfynol.
En: "We can do this," said Carys determinedly.
Cy: "Rydw i'n gwybod efallai fydd hi'n anodd, ond ni allwn ymwrthod â'r cyfle hon."
En: "I know it might be difficult, but we can't refuse this opportunity."
Cy: Edrychodd Rhodri i'r ddaear ac yn ôl ar y mynydd uchel.
En: Rhodri looked at the ground and back at the high mountain.
Cy: "Bydd popeth yn iawn, Carys," meddai, heb fod yn siŵr yn wir.
En: "Everything will be alright, Carys," he said, not entirely sure.
Cy: Roedd y llwybr yn mynd yn fwy serth a chreigiog wrth iddynt fynd yn uwch.
En: The path became steeper and rockier as they ascended.
Cy: Roedd y golygfeydd o'r gwastadeddau gwyrddlas yn llonnarad, ond roedd Rhodri'n canolbwyntio ar ei anadl, gan gofio i beidio edrych i lawr.
En: The views of the lush green plains were enlivening, but Rhodri focused on his breathing, remembering not to look down.
Cy: Wrth iddynt agosáu at ledled cul, roedd Rhodri'n arafu.
En: As they approached a narrow ledge, Rhodri slowed down.
Cy: Gwelodd Carys am edrych yn ôl.
En: Carys noticed and looked back.
Cy: "Ti'n iawn, Rhodri?" gofynnodd hi'n braf.
En: "Are you alright, Rhodri?" she asked kindly.
Cy: Teimlodd Rhodri ei galon yn cyflymu.
En: Rhodri felt his heart race.
Cy: "Dydw i ddim yn siŵr," atebodd, gan deimlo ofn yn ei lais.
En: "I'm not sure," he replied, hearing the fear in his voice.
Cy: Cynigiodd Carys ei law er cymorth.
En: Carys offered her hand for help.
Cy: "Yma, Rhodri; rydym yn tîm.
En: "Here, Rhodri; we're a team.
Cy: Nid wyf am gyrraedd y copa hebot ti."
En: I don't want to reach the peak without you."
Cy: Cymerodd Rhodri y llaw, gan ddal ei anadl, a daeth ymlaen yn araf.
En: Rhodri took the hand, holding his breath, and moved forward slowly.
Cy: Arhosodd y ddau wrth y ledled, wedi'u hamgylchynu gan fynyddoedd, a'r gwynt yn curo'n galed yn eu hwynebau.
En: The two paused at the ledge, surrounded by mountains, with the wind beating hard against their faces.
Cy: Roedd Rhodri'n rhewi am eiliad, methu symud ymlaen na'n ôl.
En: Rhodri froze for a moment, unable to move forward or back.
Cy: "Gallwn ni wneud hyn," poedodd Carys.
En: "We can do this," urged Carys.
Cy: "Rho dy swydd ymlaen, un cam ar y tro."
En: "Put your effort forward, one step at a time."
Cy: Gafaelodd Rhodri yn dynach, gan gydio'n gryfach yn llaw ei ffrind.
En: Rhodri gripped tighter, holding his friend's hand more firmly.
Cy: Gan gymryd anadl dynn, cymerodd un cam yn araf, ac yna gam arall.
En: Taking a deep breath, he took one slow step, and then another.
Cy: Yn araf bach, dechreuodd symud.
En: Gradually, he began to move.
Cy: Wedi oriau o ddringo a gorchfygu ofnau, gwelodd y ddau gopa'r Wyddfa y tu blaen.
En: After hours of climbing and conquering fears, the two saw the summit of Snowdon ahead.
Cy: Roedd y mynydd yn enfawr, a'r gorwel yn llawn o obaith.
En: The mountain was immense, and the horizon was full of hope.
Cy: "Rydym wedi llwyddo!" gweiddi Carys, ei llais yn llond llawenydd.
En: "We've done it!" shouted Carys, her voice full of joy.
Cy: Cydiodd Rhodri yn llaw Carys unwaith eto.
En: Rhodri held Carys's hand once again.
Cy: "Diolch i ti," meddai'n dawel.
En: "Thank you," he said quietly.
Cy: "Hebot ti, fyddwn ni ddim wedi cyrraedd."
En: "Without you, we wouldn't have made it."
Cy: Wrth sefyll ar y copa, aeddu brwydr pob cam, roedd Carys a Rhodri yn teimlo rhywbeth mwy na llwyddiant dros y mynydd.
En: Standing on the peak, having earned every step, Carys and Rhodri felt something more than simply conquering the mountain.
Cy: Roeddent wedi meithrin perthynas pwysicach — un o gefnogaeth ac ymddiriedaeth.
En: They had fostered a more important relationship — one of support and trust.
Cy: Ac wrth iddynt edrych i lawr o'r copa, roeddynt yn gwybod bod pob cam, pob llwyddiant a chynghori ei gilydd wedi gwneud yr antur yn wirioneddol werthfawr.
En: As they looked down from the peak, they knew that every step, every success, and each other's encouragement had made the adventure truly worthwhile.

Cy: Y tro hwn, roedd Carys a Dylan yn cerdded yn arafach i sicrhau nad oedd Aneira'n cael mwy o anafion.
En: This time, Carys and Dylan walked more slowly to ensure that Aneira didn’t get more injured.
Cy: Wedi iddynt gyrraedd eu car, roedd y tri yn blino, ond roeddent yn falch bod Aneira'n ddiogel.
En: When they reached their car, the three were tired, but they were glad that Aneira was safe.

Cy: "Gawn ni roi cynnig ar fasnachu?" awgrymodd hi.
En: "Shall we try bartering?" she suggested.

Cy: "Helo, ddafad. Hoffet ti rhai o’r rhain am dy laswellt?" gofynnodd Carys.
En: "Hello, sheep. Would you like some of these for your grass?" Carys asked.
Cy: Rhoddodd y ddafad dipyn o syn na thwrw dim, dal yn bwyta ei glaswellt.
En: The sheep gave a bit of a puzzled look but didn't make a sound, still eating its grass.
Cy: Gofynnodd Carys eto, ond yr un ymateb.
En: Carys asked again, but got the same response.
Cy: Gwelodd Rhys a Geraint y sefyllfa a throdd y sylw i lawr gyda chwerthin cynnes.
En: Rhys and Geraint saw the situation and turned their attention down with warm laughter.

En: In the end, Geraint's son, Rhys, decided to tear a bit of handkerchief and place it on the grass.
Cy: "Dyma ni, Carys. Picnig gostyngedig. Nid yw o fel cacenni, ond mae’n well na dim."
En: "Here we go, Carys. A humble picnic. It's not like cakes, but it's better than nothing."
Cy: Eisteddon nhw’n llonydd ar y copa, gan fwyta eu pryd diffygiol, ac edrych ar fynyddoedd gwych Eryri.
En: They sat quietly on the peak, eating their meager meal, and looked at the magnificent Snowdonia mountains.
Cy: Roedd yr awyrgylch tawel a gwenu gyda ffrindiau a barodd eu hantur i fod yn un di-amser.
En: The peaceful atmosphere and smiling with friends made their adventure timeless.
Cy: Er iddyn nhw waged agor teganau cath a gogo papur, ydi hi am gofio’r wers bwysig honno.
En: Even as they opened cat toys and paper packets, they are sure to remember this important lesson.
Cy: Meithrin anturiaethau gyda chelfi profiad yw’r prif lythyr yn setlo i gaffi.
En: Creating adventures with experienced gear is the main note to settling in a cafe.
Cy: Roedd fory, felly, yn haul ychwanegol ar eu bywyd; dyma 'stasydd llawen y munud.'
En: The future, therefore, was another day of sunshine on their lives; the 'joyful stasis of the moment.'
Cy: A phan ddaeth hi’n amser i fynd, dywedodd Geraint, “Wel, un peth yn siwr, Carys. Nad fyddi di byth yn anghofio bwyd ar gyfer y gath!”
En: And when it was time to go, Geraint said, "Well, one thing's for sure, Carys. You'll never forget food for the cat again!"
Cy: Chwerthin i gyd oedd y tri wrth gadw mwynhau’r golygfeydd anhygoel.
En: All three laughed while continuing to enjoy the incredible views.
Cy: Diwedd hapus ar daith anfarwol i Eryri.
