En: The environment is alive with shouts and flags waving in the gentle breeze of Harvest. Cy: Cofiwch, prynhawn heddychlon ym mis Mai. En: Remember, a peaceful afternoon in May. Cy: Yn y pen draw, bu drewdrwydd eithafol yn y ffordd gymdeithasol o flaen y lle heddlu mawr yng Nghaerdydd. En: Eventually, there was extreme tension in the social way in front of the large police station in Caerdydd. Cy: Yng nghanol y dorf oedd Geraint. En: In the middle of the crowd was Geraint. Cy: Ei galon yn drwm gydag argyfyngau newid hinsawdd, ond gyda'r un mor llawn o obaith. En: His heart was heavy with climate change crises, but equally full of hope. Cy: Roedd Rhys, swyddog heddlu, yn sefyll gerllaw, yn arsylwi gyda'i lygaid profiadol ar y dorf fwrlwmus, ei feddwl yn llawn camau a fyddai'n cadw pawb yn ddiogel. En: Rhys, a police officer, stood nearby, observing with his experienced eyes the bustling crowd, his mind full of steps that would keep everyone safe. Cy: Ar y tro hynny, glywodd Eira waith caled ei ben, ac yna awyr sydd ar goll. En: At that moment, Eira felt the hard work of her head, and then air that's lost. Cy: Swrthodd, am eiliad at ei thraed, ac yna syrthiodd fel dail i'r llawr. En: She staggered, momentarily bracing herself, and then fell like leaves to the ground. Cy: Roedd y dorf yn rhannol hawdd ei tharo a’i phrawf wrth weld y fenyw'n disgyn. En: The crowd was partly easy to strike and astonished as they saw the woman fall. Cy: Heb oedi, rhedodd Geraint ato hi. En: Without hesitation, Geraint ran to her. Cy: Wedi gostwng ar ei liniau, atalodd am ei wynt ac arafodd ei anadl. En: Kneeling down, he caught his breath and slowed his breathing. Cy: "Wyt ti'n iawn?" gofynnodd yn dirion, ond doedd Eira ddim yn ymateb. En: "Are you okay?" he asked gently, but Eira did not respond. Cy: Roedd Rhys ar ei hôl. En: Rhys was right behind. Cy: "Rhaid gwasgaru," meddai mewn llais grymus. En: "We need to disperse," he said in a commanding voice. Cy: Ond roedd Geraint wedi gwneud penderfyniad. En: But Geraint had made a decision. Cy: "Rhaid ei helpu," dywedodd â phenderfyniad cryf. En: "We must help her," he stated with strong determination. Cy: "Nid yw hi'n iach, mae angen cymorth arni." En: "She's not well, she needs assistance." Cy: Pan fue hawliadau'r swyddogion i'r bobl eraill adael, a'r dorf yn dechrau ymgrynhoi, tynnodd Geraint sylw Rhys. En: As the officers' calls for others to leave went out and the crowd began to thin, Geraint caught Rhys's attention. Cy: "Mae hi'r pwysicaf ar hyn o bryd," meddai, yn anwybyddu'r risgiau posibl o'i weithredoedd. En: "She's the most important right now," he said, ignoring the possible risks of his actions. Cy: Fel y digwyddodd, diene ortrafferth, camegues gychwynodd i ganol y gwerthfawrogiad. En: As it happened, without trouble, paramedics began to arrive in the midst of the appreciation. Cy: Pan agorodd Eira ei llygaid, triaged Geraint yn ôl o gysur pur. En: When Eira opened her eyes, Geraint stepped back with pure relief. Cy: Gwelodd yr ambiwlans yn cyrraedd gyda rhwyddineb a sawl rhyddhad daearol. En: He saw the ambulance arriving with ease and much earthly relief. Cy: Gyda chydlyniaeth, helpodd Geraint ac Rhys y negeseuwyr paratoadol wrth iddynt ofyn am Eira, sy'n malio na'r gawl. En: With coordination, Geraint and Rhys assisted the paramedics as they attended to Eira, who was more concerned than cold. Cy: Yn afon llethedig, gadawodd eich. En: In a broadened stream, they left her. Cy: Dechreuodd y dorf sarhaus bellhau yn esmwyth, ac roedd Rhys, er sulitangols, yn weld bod bod y rhew wedi torri ar brynu arall. En: The troublesome crowd began to move away smoothly, and Rhys, although determined, saw that the ice had broken for another purchase. Cy: Wrth i Geraint sefyll i unwaith eto gyda'r dorf yn dirwyn i ben, daeth barn newydd. En: As Geraint stood once again with the crowd winding down, a new perspective emerged. Cy: Roedd ei waith, er ei fod yn dod i ben mewn ffyrdd eraill nag a ragwelwyd, wedi rhoi ei galon yn ogystal â phrifleoedd cystadleuol. En: His work, although it ended in ways different from what he had envisioned, had filled his heart along with the main competitive priorities. Cy: Mae'r bendith diwedd mwyaf yn ôl; nid yn unig yw gwynt allanol yn bwysig, ond hyfryd gyda'r alwed mae'n rhaid i'r bod. En: The greatest blessing is back; not only is the external wind important, but delightful with the call one must make. Cy: Mae llai o ryddid wrth wasanaethu'r gweision eraill, ac mae popethiau yn codi'n ychwanegol trwy weithredoedd caredig yn ogystal â chenhadaethau llafar. En: There is less freedom in serving others, and everything grows additionally through kind deeds as well as vocal missions.

En: On Monday, Emrys, Gwenllian, and Catrin visited the Gardd Fotaneg Genedlaethol Cymru. Cy: Roedd yr haul yn tywynnu'n dyner, goleuo'r blodau lliwgar a choed yn siglo yn y gwynt ysgafn. En: The sun was shining gently, illuminating the colorful flowers and trees swaying in the light wind. Cy: Roedd Gwenllian wedi trefnu'r trîp perffaith i fwynhau picnic heddychlon yn hwyr y gwanwyn. En: Gwenllian had arranged the perfect trip to enjoy a peaceful picnic late in the spring. Cy: Yn harbwr eichdalus, roedd Emrys yn chwilfrydig gydag ei gamera yn darganfod y bywyd gwyllt a oedd yn byw yn y gerddi. En: In the sheltered haven, Emrys was curious with his camera, discovering the wildlife that lived in the gardens. Cy: Yn ystod ei dro amgylch y llyn a'r llwybrau graeanog, roedd ei bys yn barod i wasgu'r botwm saethu yn chwilio am yr llun perffaith. En: During his stroll around the lake and the gravel paths, his finger was ready to press the shutter button in search of the perfect picture. Cy: Tra roedd Gwenllian yn lledu'r blanced picnic ar y glaswellt meddal, teimlodd Emrys wasgfa golau ar ei ysgwydd. En: While Gwenllian was spreading the picnic blanket on the soft grass, Emrys felt a light squeeze on his shoulder. Cy: Roedd y seagull twp, enwog am ei garu bwyd, wedi glanio wrth ei ôl. En: A cheeky seagull, famous for its love of food, had landed behind him. Cy: Yn sydyn, gyda gwth crochi wedi'i lygaid ar ypecyn clawr Emrys. En: Suddenly, with a squawking shove, it had its eyes on Emrys's sandwich. Cy: I fyny yn yr awyr aeth y sandwich blasus, ac y seagull twyllodrus oedd a gweld y synnodd. En: Up into the air went the tasty sandwich, and the mischievous seagull was seen. Cy: "Catrin! En: "Catrin!" Cy: " gwaeddodd Gwenllian mewn rhwystredigaeth. En: shouted Gwenllian in frustration. Cy: Catrin, sy'n gweithio ar y gerddi fel cadwraig hynaws gyda gwybodaeth garw am adar a byd natur, daeth yn fuan i helpu i wneud trefn. En: Catrin, who works at the gardens as a kind caretaker with a strong knowledge of birds and nature, quickly came to help restore order. Cy: "O na," meddai Catrin, gan wenu. En: "Oh no," said Catrin, smiling. Cy: "Mae dwi'n ei adnabod yr aderyn hwnnw. En: "I know that bird. Cy: Mae'n un annrhefnus ond digon doniol. En: It’s a bit of a troublemaker, but quite amusing." Cy: " Aeth Catrin ati'n ddigon cyflym i geisio tawelu pethau. En: Catrin quickly set about trying to calm things down. Cy: Tra roedd Gwenllian yn gorfod amddiffyn y picnic hunan, rhedegodd Emrys ar ôl y seagull, ei gamera yn barod. En: While Gwenllian had to defend the picnic herself, Emrys ran after the seagull, his camera at the ready. Cy: Hwn oedd cyfle Emrys i ddogfennu'r olygfa anhygoel hon, ac roedd yn gyffrous am y llun unigryw a allai ddal. En: This was Emrys's chance to document this incredible scene, and he was excited about the unique picture he might capture. Cy: Gadawodd Emrys ddim ei wylltio gan y troeon annisgwyl, ond dilynodd y seagull drwy'r llwybrau blodau a phlanhigion gweithiog. En: Emrys didn’t let himself get upset by the unexpected turns but followed the seagull through the flower and busy plant paths. Cy: Yn sydyn, o fewn y foeloredd eichdalus, eiliad ddaliodd y poppeth. En: Suddenly, in the tranquil dusk, a moment captured everything. Cy: Pencoed wrth gefn ffrwydr cyffroi Emrys â chlirder dros ben roedd y llun perffaith. En: Standing back in a burst of Emrys's excitement, perfectly captured was the ideal picture. Cy: I'r diwedd, roedd Emrys wedi dal ddelwedd o'r seagull yn hofran yn yr awyr gyda'r blodau'n cynnwys y cefndir. En: In the end, Emrys had captured an image of the seagull hovering in the air with flowers decorating the background. Cy: Roedd yn llun doeth, ac Emrys roddodd shout ar y llun, gan ddal sylw'r elegant llachar a gwacter gyflymddinydd y ser. En: It was a wise picture, and Emrys shouted out about the shot, capturing the bright elegance and fleeting emptiness of the scene. Cy: Pan ddododd nôl at Gwenllian, roedd hithau'n chwerthin gyda Catrin, yn mwynhau hwyl y diwrnod. En: When he returned to Gwenllian, she was laughing with Catrin, enjoying the day’s fun. Cy: Er gwnaeth y seagull rwystro ei henw hymoniad, maent pawb wedi dysgu derbyn yr annisgwyl. En: Even though the seagull had interrupted her carefully laid plans, everyone learned to embrace the unexpected. Cy: Efallai nad oedd picnic Gwenllian wedi mynd i gynllun, ond wrth fyllio'r diwrnod â chwerthin a thri'w ngaed, diawn oedd llwyddiant. En: Perhaps Gwenllian's picnic hadn’t gone according to plan, but by filling the day with laughter and new experiences, it was certainly a success. Cy: Ac i Emrys, dysgwyd mai'r trychniadau a ffynonellau annhebygol yn gallu arwain at harddwch niwlynol. En: And for Emrys, it was a lesson that misadventures and unlikely sources can lead to unexpected beauty.

En: In the Spring Bay, the port at Portsmouth was bustling. Cy: Yn y bae morforol, roedd yn llawn swyddogion mewn gwisgoedd taclus. En: In the naval bay, it was full of officers in neat uniforms. Cy: Roedd llif o bobl o gwmpas y llongau mawrion oedd wedi angori. En: There was a stream of people around the large ships that had anchored. Cy: Ar yr ochr dde o'r lawnt, roedd band yn chwarae cerddoriaeth fywiog. En: On the right side of the lawn, a band was playing lively music. Cy: Roedd Eleri, gyda'i llygaid yn disgleirio, yn edrych yn optimistaidd ar y tir mawr. En: Eleri, with her eyes shining, looked optimistically at the mainland. Cy: Roedd hi'n credu ei bod wedi cael gwahoddiad i barti cwch crand. En: She believed she had received an invitation to a grand boat party. Cy: Ei nod oedd gwneud ffrindiau newydd a chael cyfle i rwydweithio gyda phobl ddylanwadol. En: Her goal was to make new friends and have the opportunity to network with influential people. Cy: Saif ger mynedfa'r digwyddiad, ond yn fuan, roedd hi'n sylweddoli nid oedd ganddi docyn. En: She stood by the entrance to the event but soon realized she didn't have a ticket. Cy: Heb adael i hynny ei anwybyddu, penderfynodd Eleri ymuno â grŵp o swyddogion morwrol oedd yn mynd heibio iddi. En: Not letting that deter her, Eleri decided to join a group of naval officers who were passing by her. Cy: Gydag ychydig o lwc, llwyddodd i sleifio heibio'r gwarchod ac i mewn i'r porthladd. En: With a bit of luck, she managed to slip past the guard and into the port. Cy: Unwaith y tu mewn, roedd popeth yn ysblennydd. En: Once inside, everything was splendid. Cy: Roedd Siân a Gareth, dau swyddog, yn sefyll jeir nad oeddent ymhell o'r harbwr. En: Siân and Gareth, two officers, were standing not too far from the harbor. Cy: Synhwyrodd Eleri gyfle i wneud ffrindiau newydd. En: Eleri sensed an opportunity to make new friends. Cy: Yn ei brwdfrydedd, cafodd damwain ambell ddiod oddi ar ddrôr, a daeth criw o bobl at ei gilydd. En: In her enthusiasm, she accidentally bumped a few drinks off a tray, gathering a crowd of people around. Cy: Am ennyd, teimlai embarrassing. En: For a moment, she felt embarrassed. Cy: Roedd yr holl lygaid arni. En: All eyes were on her. Cy: Yn sydyn, gwelodd y sefyllfa gyda diffyg parch. En: Suddenly, she saw the situation with a lack of seriousness. Cy: Gwên chwareus a ddaeth dros ei gwep, ac dywedodd Eleri, "Wel, os na allaf gael fy ngwahodd, fe ddylen nhw wneud fel pe bai rhaid galw fi i lawr gydag trîn. En: A playful grin spread across her face, and Eleri said, "Well, if I can't get invited, they should at least act like I need to be called down with a treat." Cy: "Roedd y bobl yn y digwyddiad wedi cyd-chwerthinu. En: The people at the event burst into shared laughter. Cy: Cymerodd y tensiwn ychydig arall llacio. En: The tension eased a little. Cy: Heb amgyffred mai cysgod o wall oedd ar y dechrau, llwyddodd Eleri i newid y sefyllfa i un chwerthin dilychwin. En: Not realizing that a slip-up was the starting point, Eleri managed to turn the situation into one of unrestrained laughter. Cy: Roedd y chwerthin yn parhau, a'i gymeriad gwirioneddol oedd yn brysur i bob golwg. En: The laughter continued, and her true character was evidently thriving. Cy: Ar ôl hyn, ymunodd â'r parti fel gwirioneddol. En: After this, she joined the party properly. Cy: Dysgodd pa mor bwysig yw bod yn driw i'w hun a'i hygrededd ei hun. En: She learned how important it is to be true to herself and her own integrity. Cy: Roedd pobl yn gwerthfawrogi ei hawydd i fod ei hun—dim triciau na chamau twyllodrus. En: People appreciated her desire to be herself—no tricks or deceitful moves. Cy: Wrth edrych dros y porthladd, gyda'r machlud yn llychwino'r awyr mewn tonau oren a phinc, teimlai ganlyniadau'r diwrnod yn anghyffredin. En: Looking over the port, with the sunset glowing the sky in tones of orange and pink, she felt the day's outcomes were extraordinary. Cy: Roedd yn ddiwrnod lle dysgodd nad oedd ei hunaniaeth yn dibynnu ar barti na thrindod. En: It was a day where she learned her identity didn't depend on a party or a trio. Cy: Roeddent wedi derbyn ei wirionedd. En: They had embraced her truth. Cy: Roedd hynny'n fuddugoliaeth ynddi ei hun. En: That was a victory in itself.

En: In the early spring, when the first flowers were in full bloom in Eryri, Emrys, Carys, and Gareth stood amidst the famous landscape of Bodnant Garden. Cy: Roedd y tri yn gydweithwyr cyfarwydd, ond roedd ganddynt syniadau gwahanol am sut i drefnu yr ŵyl ganol haf sydd ar y gweill. En: The three were familiar colleagues, but they had different ideas on how to organize the upcoming midsummer festival. Cy: Roedd Emrys yn ffitheol dros ben, yn gwerthfawrogi trefn a natur. En: Emrys was very methodical, appreciating order and nature. Cy: Carys, ar y llaw arall, yn weledol a llawn dychymyg, yn angerddol dros gelf a dylunio. En: Carys, on the other hand, was visual and full of imagination, passionate about art and design. Cy: Gareth oedd yr un syml, ymarferol, gyda’i draed ar y ddaear, yn canolbwyntio ar logisteg. En: Gareth was the practical one, with his feet on the ground, focused on logistics. Cy: “Mae angen creu rhywbeth arbennig iawn,” meddai Emrys gyda golwg difrifol, “Rhaid i bawb sy’n dod deimlo’r hanes a harddwch naturiol.” En: “We need to create something very special,” said Emrys with a serious look, “Everyone who comes must feel the history and natural beauty.” Cy: “Beth am gerfluniau blodau mawr?” awgrymodd Carys, ei ochrau llygaid yn disgleirio o gyffro. En: “What about large flower sculptures?” suggested Carys, her eyes sparkling with excitement. Cy: “Cerfluniau yn braf,” atebodd Gareth, “ond syniais i na fyddai’r cei eleth modd os bydd hi’n bwrw glaw.” En: “Sculptures are nice,” replied Gareth, “but I reckon they wouldn't hold up if it rains.” Cy: Roedd y dadlau ymhlith y tri wedi parhau am oriau, bob dydd. En: The arguing among the three continued for hours every day. Cy: Pob un yn caru Bodnant yn ei ffordd ei hun. En: Each loved Bodnant in their own way. Cy: Emrys yn credu y gallai eu syniadau unedig greu rhywbeth anhygoel. En: Emrys believed that their combined ideas could create something amazing. Cy: Wrth edrych ar y flwyddyn flaenorol, penderfynodd roi cynnig ar gyfuno syniadau Carys â phriodoldeb Gareth. En: Looking at the previous year, he decided to try merging Carys' ideas with Gareth's practicality. Cy: “Gadewch i ni weithio gyda’n gilydd. Fe wnawn yn well y ffordd yma.” En: “Let's work together. We’ll do better this way.” Cy: Arholi disodli tirlun bendigedig o dan gysgod y mynyddoedd, roedd gwaith yn mynd rhagddo’n dda. En: Examining the beautiful landscape under the shadow of the mountains, work was progressing well. Cy: Roedd llwybrau wedi’u goleuo a gerddi blodau’n cyfleu storïau a chymeriadau. En: Paths were illuminated, and flower gardens conveyed stories and characters. Cy: Fodd bynnag, wrth iddynt fwrw ymlaen, daeth cymylau duon yn tua’r nos cyn y ŵyl. En: However, as they proceeded, dark clouds gathered the evening before the festival. Cy: Cwympai law trwm, a oedd yn bygwth difrodi’r setup cyfan. En: Heavy rain fell, threatening to ruin the entire setup. Cy: “Arlwywch bopeth o dan garpedi trwm a tharpau!” galwodd Gareth yn gyflym. En: “Cover everything with heavy carpets and tarps!” called out Gareth quickly. Cy: “Os gallwch chi helpu i geisio achub y cerfluniau blodau, byddai hynny’n wych!” ychwanegodd Carys. En: “If you can help save the flower sculptures, that would be great!” added Carys. Cy: Gyda’r tri yn cydweithio, cawsant bopeth wedi’i stemio ysbyrlig, ac roeddol gwir ysbryd tîm. En: With all three working together, they got everything secured swiftly, demonstrating true team spirit. Cy: Er yn wlyb llaith, dywedodd Emrys yn ddiogel, “We’ve done it together. The show must go on.” En: Though wet and damp, Emrys safely said, “We've done it together. The show must go on.” Cy: Pan gododd y haul ar ddiwrnod yr ŵyl, roedd Bodnant fel cyfanrwydd. En: When the sun rose on the festival day, Bodnant shone in its entirety. Cy: Roedd popeth yn fythgofiadwy, o’r llwyfan i’r golygfeydd wedi’u goleuo mewn gwawl gwanwyn. En: Everything was unforgettable, from the stage to the views illuminated in spring light. Cy: Edrychodd y gwesteion i fyny a meddwl mai hon oedd yr ŵyl orau a oeddent erioed wedi mynychu. En: Guests looked up and thought this was the best festival they had ever attended. Cy: Roedd Emrys, Carys, a Gareth yn drafferthu gyda’r llawenydd. En: Emrys, Carys, and Gareth were filled with joy. Cy: Dysgodd Emrys werthrwydd gydweithio a gwerthfawrogi syniadau eraill. En: Emrys learned the value of collaboration and appreciating others’ ideas. Cy: Roedd y tri wedi creu gŵyl unigryw, a oedd yn brawf ychwanegol o harddwch a hanes Gardd Bodnant. En: The three had created a unique festival, which was an additional testament to the beauty and history of Bodnant Garden. Cy: Roedd ar y groesffordd rhwng creadigrwydd a chywirdeb, gan arwain at ddigwyddiad gwerth ei fwynhau a’i gofio am byth. En: It stood at the crossroads between creativity and accuracy, leading to an event worth enjoying and remembering forever.

En: This morning, the water was calm, as if Llyn Padarn was reflecting the clear heavens above. Cy: Roedd Aled ac Eira yn paratoi'u cwch rhwyfo am antur ar y dŵr.

En: The day was placid, with the last day of spring revealing a vast sea of flowers for the coming summer.

Cy: Roedd y seiri heulog yn braf ac yn codi'r galon. En: The sunny morning was pleasant and uplifting. Cy: Ond er gwaethaf yr heddwch allanol, roedd meddwl Aled yn llawn cymylau. En: But despite the outward peace, Aled's mind was full of clouds. Cy: Roedd pen yn llawn amheuon, yn ystyried llwybrau, ond yn methu canfod cyfeiriad clir. En: His head was filled with doubts, considering paths, but unable to find a clear direction. Cy: Yn y sefyllfa hon, nid oedd ei uchelgais anturus yn cynnig atebion. En: In this situation, his adventurous ambitions offered no answers. Cy: "Mae rhywbeth yn dyfalu dw i," meddai Eira ar derfyn cyfnod o dawelwch. En: "Something's troubling you, isn't it?" said Eira after a period of silence. Cy: Yr arwydd o'i synhwyrau cainnwp. En: A sign of her keen perception. Cy: "Ydy popeth yn reit, Aled?" En: "Is everything alright, Aled?" Cy: Taflodd Aled edrychiad i'r dŵr, ble roedd tonnau bychain yn adlewyrchu coedwig las ar y glan. En: Aled cast a glance at the water, where small waves reflected the blue forest on the shore. Cy: "Mae'n anodd dweud," atebodd Aled, yn swnian. En: "It's hard to say," replied Aled, sighing. Cy: "Dw i'n teimlo rhywfaint o ansicrwydd am fy mywyd, fy nyfodol." En: "I feel some uncertainty about my life, my future." Cy: Nid oedd Eira yn siarad, yn hytrach cydiodd yn rhwyfau yn gadarnach, yn caniatáu i'r treigl cynnes o ddŵr dawel i fynd â nhw ymlaen. En: Eira didn't speak, instead she gripped the oars more firmly, allowing the gentle flow of calm water to take them forward. Cy: "Weithiau," dechreuodd hi yn drwm ei llygaid ar ddyfroedd blas. En: "Sometimes," she began with her eyes heavy on the taste waters. Cy: "Does yna ddim oes rhaid i ni gael yr atebion i gyd ar unwaith. En: "We don't need to have all the answers at once. Cy: Dyma pam mae cael ffrindiau yn bwysig. En: This is why having friends is important. Cy: Gall ddau berson ddod o hyd i fwy o bethau gyda'i gilydd na'r un unigolyn." En: Two people can find more things together than one alone." Cy: Xubod eiddylsodd ei fuddioldeb yn njocnydd cwbllod cyntaf ei amdaniad. En: The intimacy of perceived utility sparked in her first note of solace about it all. Cy: "Mae hynny'n gwneud synnwyr," talodd Aled, gan deimlo bod rhithyn o rwyddineb ddychwelyd i'w dueddiad. En: "That makes sense," acknowledged Aled, feeling a hint of ease return to his disposition. Cy: "Mae'n braf siarad gyda ti, Eira. En: "It's nice talking to you, Eira. Cy: Mae'n teimlo fel bod hyn yn dechrau fy helpu." En: It feels like this is starting to help me." Cy: Wedi'r daith ar y llyn, teimlai Aled nad oedd mwyaf iad yn edrych fel rhagdybyniad urddasol. En: After the journey on the lake, Aled felt that the greatest visions no longer seemed like a dignified presumption. Cy: Roedd y sefyllfa'n symlach. En: The situation was simpler. Cy: Safodd Eira wrth ei ochr, eu golwg yn gymaredd ar y Gader Idris yn y pellter. En: Eira stood by his side, their gaze embracing Cader Idris in the distance. Cy: "Mae modd i ni ddod o hyd i ddarganfyddiad gyda'n gilydd," meddai'n mwynnu un cilnod olaf o symud y dŵr. En: "We can find discovery together," she said, savoring one last nod of the water’s movement. Cy: Ac gyda hynny, teimlai Aled y dyfalu cyntaf o fuddugoliaeth dros ansicrwydd mewn ffordd newydd. En: And with that, Aled felt the first hint of victory over uncertainty in a new way. Cy: Roedd taith paradigmatig newydd yn dechrau ond nid ei golofnion fyddai'r atebion i bob gofyn ond yn lle deialog gysylltiedig gyda ffrind. En: A new paradigmatic journey was beginning, but its pillars would not be answers to every question, rather a connected dialogue with a friend.

Cy: Gwyn a Mair, heb lawer o ddewis, yn chwilio am le i guddio o dan babell fach. En: Gwyn and Mair, with little choice, search for a place to hide under a small tent.

En: A conversation flows between them like a rushing river. Cy: Mae Gwyn yn sylwi bod Mair yn deall yr hyn nad oedd ef wedi'i ddweud wrth neb arall. En: Gwyn notices that Mair understands what he hadn't told anyone else. Cy: Pan fo'r glaw yn peidio, ac mae'r haul yn dechrau torri trwy'r cymylau, mae'r ddau'n teimlo newid o fewn eu calonnau. En: When the rain stops, and the sun begins to break through the clouds, they both feel a change within their hearts.

En: While climbing the old rocky path, Eira heard a gentle voice approaching. Cy: "Bore da! En: "Good morning! Cy: Ti newydd yn ymwelydd, yn dy? En: You're a new visitor, aren't you?" Cy: " Trodd Eira i weld dyn ifanc gyda gwen fawr. En: Eira turned to see a young man with a big smile. Cy: "Dwi’n Dafydd," ychwanegodd. En: "I'm Dafydd," he added. Cy: Roedd Dafydd yn lleol, yn byw ger y parc, ac yn caru natur. En: Dafydd was a local, living near the park, and loved nature. Cy: "Mae'n hardd yma," meddai Eira, yn gweld y brwdfrydedd yn llygaid Dafydd. En: "It's beautiful here," said Eira, seeing the enthusiasm in Dafydd's eyes.

    Fluent Fiction - Welsh: Blossoms of Art: A New Chapter in Forsyth Park Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more: fluentfiction.com/cy/episode/2026-05-31-22-34-01-cy Story Transcript: Cy: Ar ddiwedd gwanwyn, roedd Forsyth Park yn Savannah, Georgia, yn ffynnu gyda bywyd a lliw. En: At the end of spring, Forsyth Park in Savannah, Georgia, was thriving with life and color. Cy: Roedd y planhigion azalea ar eu gorau, ac roedd derwenni bywyd yn gysgod ar y llwybrau. En: The azalea plants were at their best, and live oaks cast shadows on the paths. Cy: Yr haul yn tywynnu'n gynnes ar y prynhawn, a phobl leol yn mwynhau eiliadau o heddwch yn y parc. En: The sun shone warmly in the afternoon, and locals enjoyed moments of peace in the park. Cy: Wedi blino ar sŵn a bryntineb y ddinas, roedd Gwyn, artist ifanc, yn eistedd ar fainc ger y ffynnon. En: Tired of the city's noise and grime, Gwyn, a young artist, sat on a bench near the fountain. Cy: Roedd ei gadach yn fawr a newydd, llenwodd â boces pasteli. En: His canvas was large and new, filled with a box of pastels. Cy: Roedd eisiau dianc o’i ben llawn meddyliau. En: He wanted to escape from his mind full of thoughts. Cy: Yn ysbwriel gyda syniadau nad oedd yn siŵr a oedd yn werth eu rhannu. En: Littered with ideas that he wasn't sure were worth sharing. Cy: Ond y diwrnod hwn, penderfynodd wynebu'r ofnau hynny. En: But on this day, he decided to face those fears. Cy: Penderfynodd ddechrau sgetsio yn y parc, am y tro cyntaf. En: He decided to start sketching in the park for the first time. Cy: Yn agos at Gwyn, roedd Sera yn sefyll. En: Near Gwyn, Sera was standing. Cy: Roedd hi’n gerddores a oedd yn ysu am ddod o hyd i ysbrydoliaeth newydd. En: She was a musician yearning to find new inspiration. Cy: Roedd cerddoriaeth fel tonnau i'w meddwl, ond ar hyn o bryd, roedd moroedd ei chreadigrwydd yn dawel. En: Music was like waves to her mind, but at the moment, her seas of creativity were calm. Cy: Byddar. En: Mute. Cy: Roedd Aled, ei ffrind tawel ei gefnogaeth, gyda hi. En: Aled, her quietly supportive friend, was with her. Cy: Aled oedd yr un a ysgogodd hi i fynd allan, “Cawn weld beth a ddaw,” meddai ef. En: Aled was the one who encouraged her to go out, "Let's see what comes," he said. Cy: Roedd ei llygaid ar gartws Gwyn, a’i galon yn gwylltio. En: Her eyes were on Gwyn's canvas, and her heart raced. Cy: Roeddni’n gofyn iddi ei hun, "A ddylwn i siarad? En: She asked herself, "Should I speak?" Cy: " Ond ysbrydoliaeth gyrhaeddodd fel dŵr disgleirio ar ysgallen. En: But inspiration arrived like shimmering water on thistle. Cy: Droion troi i mewn yn gyfforddus a phlymio. En: Spirals turning in comfortably and diving deep. Cy: "S'mae," sylwodd Sera, wrth nesu at Gwyn. En: "'S'mae," remarked Sera, approaching Gwyn. Cy: Gafaelodd yn y sganiad cynhesol o’i galon, ynghyd â gwên ddiffuant. En: She grasped the warm scan of her heart, along with a sincere smile. Cy: "Dw i wedi gweld dy sgetsio. En: "I've seen your sketching. Cy: Mae'n hyfryd. En: It's lovely." Cy: "Edrychodd Gwyn i fyny, ychydig yn swil, ond pleser gynnil yn codi yn ei ddannedd. En: Gwyn looked up, a bit shy, but a subtle pleasure rising in his teeth. Cy: "Diolch," atebodd ef. En: "Thank you," he replied. Cy: Dechreuodd fel brwydr fach i ddangos unrhyw beth i unrhyw berson, ond roedd ei synnwyr o ryddid yn cael ei agor. En: It began as a small battle to show anything to anyone, but his sense of freedom was being opened. Cy: Roedd pen-bys Gwyn yn datgodio papur hyd nes i un o’i sgetsiau ddod i'r golwg. En: Gwyn's fingertips unfurled paper until one of his sketches came to view. Cy: Dangosodd hon i Sera. En: He showed it to Sera. Cy: Y darlun oedd un o'r parc ei hun, y llwybr o dan y llochesi coediog, yn llawn bywyd a goleuni. En: The picture was of the park itself, the path under the tree canopies, full of life and light. Cy: Cyffwrddodd ywe sîn ei henaid, fel alaw newydd yn hedfan trwy’r awyr. En: It touched her soul like a new melody flying through the air. Cy: "Mae dy lygad am liw yn anghredadwy," sylwodd Sera, yn canfod ei meddwl yn cael ei dirgrynnu â riffau newydd o syniadau cerddorol. En: "Your eye for color is incredible," observed Sera, finding her mind vibrating with new musical riff ideas. Cy: Roedd ei chwilfrydedd yn gynnau fel tân glas. En: Her curiosity kindled like a blue flame. Cy: Dechreuodd y ddau sgwrs gyda brwdfrydedd. En: The two started a conversation with enthusiasm. Cy: Siarad am eu hofferynnau yng nghelfyddyd a cherddoriaeth. En: They spoke about their instruments in art and music. Cy: Roedd y parc yn cefndir perffaith i ddod â'u darlithoedd at ei gilydd. En: The park was a perfect backdrop to bring their lectures together. Cy: Roedd y ddau'n gyffrous am gael trafod mwy a dysgu oddi wrth ei gilydd. En: Both were excited about discussing more and learning from each other. Cy: "Beth am gwrdd eto? En: "How about meeting again?" Cy: " cynigiodd Sera, gyda llygaid disglair. En: Sera proposed, her eyes bright. Cy: Gwên cydnabuwyd ar wyneb Gwyn. En: A smile was acknowledged on Gwyn's face. Cy: "Byddai hynny'n wych," atebodd. En: "That would be great," he replied. Cy: Roedd yn teimlo’r pwysau achosi pan oedd yn fwy agos ato'i hun yn tanio ymlaen — teimlad o ryddhad. En: He felt the pressure that caused him when he was more withdrawn ignite forward—a feeling of relief. Cy: A dyna oedd. En: And so it was. Cy: Dechrau perthynas newydd sydd â'r potensial i esgor ar weithiau celf newydd a symud o floc creadigol. En: The start of a new relationship with the potential to inspire new works of art and move beyond creative blocks. Cy: Roedd Gwyn a Sera'n cael rhodd o fewn eu gorwelion estynedig. En: Gwyn and Sera were gifted within their expanded horizons. Cy: Y pen-blwydd newydd iddynt fynd ar drywydd eu greddfau creadigol gyda gobaith yn yr ardd. En: The new chapter for them was to pursue their creative instincts with hope in the garden.
