    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 dĆ”ad 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 dĆ”r 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 sĂȘr tra’n nofio yn y mĂŽr 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: Roedd y dre fach arfordirol yn ei hatgoffa o'i phlentyndod.
    En: The small coastal town reminded her of her childhood.

    Cy: Dyma lle mae'r clogwyni serth yn cwrdd Ăą'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 mĂŽr 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.

    Cy: “Shwmae, Eira.
    En: "Hi, Eira.

    Cy: Sut mae’r byd mawr wedi dy drin di?
    En: How has the big world treated you?"

    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 wĆ·l 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 wĆ·l, 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, paratĂŽdd y ddau am yr wĆ·l.
    En: As time passed, the two prepared for the festival.

    Cy: Roedd Alun yn dangos Eira'r hen draddodiadau.
    En: Alun showed Eira the old traditions.

    Cy: Roedd Eira yn ceisio gwerthfawrogi popeth.
    En: Eira tried to appreciate everything.

    Cy: Ar ddiwrnod yr wĆ·l, 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.

    Cy: Roedd angen gweithio gyda'i gilydd mewn amser byr er mwyn arbed yr wĆ·l.
    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 wĆ·l.
    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: Daeth yr haf i ben, gyda’r wĆ·l llwyddiannus.
    En: Summer came to an end, with the festival a success.

    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 mîr yn cwrdd ñ'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: "I know it might be difficult, but we can't refuse this opportunity."

    Cy: Edrychodd Rhodri i'r ddaear ac yn ĂŽl 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 siƔr 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.

    Cy: Cynigiodd Carys ei law er cymorth.
    En: Carys offered her hand for help.

    Cy: "Yma, Rhodri; rydym yn tĂźm.
    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 ĂŽl.
    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: Ar galon Parc Cenedlaethol Eryri, cerddai Eira yn llawn mwynhad gwyn dydd Mawrth.
    En: In the heart of Snowdonia National Park, Eira walked with great enjoyment on a white Tuesday.

    Cy: Teimlai'r gwynt oer ar ei hwyneb wrth iddi ddringo'r llwybrau cerrig.
    En: She felt the cold wind on her face as she climbed the rocky paths.

    Cy: Roedd y mynyddoedd yn brydferth, yn lliwgar gyda blodau a phlanhigion.
    En: The mountains were beautiful, colorful with flowers and plants.

    Cy: Roedd hi'n hwyr prynhawn pan welodd Eira gymylau tywyll yn casglu yn y nen.
    En: It was late afternoon when Eira saw dark clouds gathering in the sky.

    Cy: Cyn iddi sylweddoli, dechreuodd storm ffyrnig.

    Cy: Roedd y gwynt yn rhuo fel gelyn ac roedd y glaw yn troi'n iĂą.
    En: The wind roared like an enemy, and the rain turned to ice.

    Cy: Roedd hi'n methu gweld y llwybr o'i blaen.
    En: She couldn't see the path ahead of her.

    Cy: Roedd Eira wedi ei harafu a chafodd ei llusgo i lawr y mynydd gan rym y gwynt.
    En: Eira was slowed down and was dragged down the mountain by the force of the wind.

    Cy: Pan orffennodd y gwyntoedd gwyllt, canfyddai Eira ei hun wedi'i hamgylchynu gan dywyllwch a chwythu eira dirfawr.
    En: When the wild winds ended, Eira found herself surrounded by darkness and heavy snowdrifts.

    Cy: Roedd ei dillad yn wlyb a’i chroen yn oer fel rhew.

    Cy: Roedd y tywydd y tu allan yn parhau i fod yn greulon, ond roedd hi’n ddiogel am y foment.
    En: The weather outside remained cruel, but she was safe for the moment.

    Cy: Cofiwch, rhaid iddi gadw'n gynnes. Casglodd coed sych o'r llawr.
    En: Remembering she needed to stay warm, she gathered dry wood from the ground.

    Cy: Fel hyn, llwyddodd i ddechrau tan gan ddefnyddio ei chynhesach.
    En: With this, she managed to start a fire using her lighter.

    Cy: Golygai'r cof gwresig y gallai hi orddwy yn felys.
    En: The warm glow meant she could sleep sweetly.

    Cy: Wrth i'r noson fynd heibio, clywodd Eira synau o'r tu fĂŽr.
    En: As the night went by, Eira heard sounds from outside.

    Cy: Roedd yn sƔn unrhyw greadur.
    En: It was the noise of some creature.

    Cy: Pwy oedd yn dod?
    En: Who was coming?

    Cy: Aeth ei chalon yn gyflym, ond llwyddodd i aros yn dawel.
    En: Her heart raced, but she managed to stay quiet.

    Cy: Pan welodd olau fflachlamp, roedd hi'n wylo'n dawel.
    En: When she saw the light of a flashlight, she wept quietly.

    Cy: Roedd y tĂźm achub wedi dod.
    En: The rescue team had come.

    Cy: "Dwi yma! Dwi yma!" gweflodd Eira yn llawen.
    En: "I'm here! I'm here!" Eira shouted joyfully.

    Cy: Daeth y tüm ag iddi amddiffyn a pharatoi’n drylwyr ar gyfer dychwelyd a'r trigolion diogel.
    En: The team brought her protection and thoroughly prepared her for the return and the safe inhabitants.

    Cy: Ar ĂŽl hynny, cafodd Eira ei hachub ac roedd hi'n ddiolchgar o fod yn sych a chynnes unwaith eto.
    En: After that, Eira was rescued and she was grateful to be dry and warm once again.

    Cy: Dysgodd wers bwysig, i fod yn barod am yr annisgwyl, ond cofiwyd hi bob amser am ei chryfder yn ystorm.
    En: She learned an important lesson: to be ready for the unexpected, but her strength in the storm would always be remembered.

    Cy: Enw'r mynyddoedd, y storm a'r rhyfeddol lloches yn fyw yn ei chof am byth.
    En: The name of the mountains, the storm, and the remarkable shelter would remain alive in her memory forever.

    Cy: Diwedd.
    En: The End.

    Cy: Wrth iddynt ddringo’r llwybr byrlymus, roedd pawb yn hapus.

    Cy: Roedd yr olygfa’n wych, ac roeddent yn siarad a chwerthin yn uchel.

    Cy: Ar ddiwedd eu taith i gopa’r mynydd, eisteddon nhw i lawr ar y glaswellt caled.
    En: At the end of their hike to the mountain's peak, they sat down on the hard grass.

    Cy: "Mae’n amser am bicnic!" cyhoeddodd Rhys.
    En: "It's time for a picnic!" announced Rhys.

    Cy: Dechreuodd Carys chwilota yn ei bag.
    En: Carys started rummaging through her bag.

    Cy: Stopiodd am eiliad ac yna gwelwyd edrych arswyd ar ei hwyneb.

    Cy: Yna gwelodd ddafad yn pori gerllaw.
    En: Then she saw a sheep grazing nearby.

    Cy: Â phrawf, cerddodd hi at y ddafad ac agorodd y bag bwyd cath.
    En: With a trial, she walked to the sheep and opened the bag of cat food.

    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.

    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.

    Cy: O’r diwedd, penderfynodd mab Geraint, sef Rhys, dorri tipyn o hances a’i roi ar dy laswellt.
    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.
    En: A happy ending to an immortal journey to Snowdonia.
