En: In the vibrant landscape of Bae Caerdydd, where the old and the new blend perfectly, with the Cymric Assembly standing quietly in the background, Gethin and Carys were walking down the busy path. Cy: Y gwynt ysgafn yn gryfhau wrth i sain adloniant o gyngerdd awyr agored droi'n siâp aur yn yr awyr. En: The gentle wind strengthened as the sound of entertainment from an open-air concert turned into a golden hue in the sky. Cy: Roedd Gethin a Carys yn cydweithio yn y cwmni dylunio graffeg lleol. En: Gethin and Carys worked together at the local graphic design company. Cy: Yn ddiweddar, roeddynt wedi cael y dasg o gyflwyno ymgyrch newydd i reolwr theatr enwog yn y Bae. En: Recently, they were given the task of presenting a new campaign to a famous theater manager in the Bae. Cy: Roedd yn gyfle enfawr, a'r ddau'n gwbl ymwybodol o'r cyfleodd a wnâi llwyddo'r dasg eu cynnig iddynt – etholiad. En: It was a huge opportunity, and both were fully aware of the opportunities success in the task would offer them—an election. Cy: Gethin, er ei dalent, oedd yn tueddu i amau'i hun. En: Gethin, despite his talent, tended to doubt himself. Cy: Mae'n dymuno dangos ei fod yn arweinydd i'w rheolwyr; mai ef oedd yn barod i gamu i fyny. En: He wished to show his managers that he was a leader; that he was ready to step up. Cy: Ar yr ochr arall, roedd Carys yn llawn hunanhyder. En: On the other hand, Carys was full of self-confidence. Cy: Roedd ei natur gystadleuol yn golygu bod hi'n gyson yn pwyso ar y ffiniau, gan ysgogi fodlonrwydd i dorri trwy'r llwyddiant heb roi cyfle i eraill. En: Her competitive nature meant she was constantly pushing boundaries, driven to break through success without giving others a chance. Cy: Yn agos at y dŵr bachlud, roedd Gethin yn teimlo'r straen yn cynyddu. En: Near the sunset water, Gethin felt the stress building. Cy: Roedd weithiau'n poeni y byddai Carys yn ei orchfygu neu'n cymryd mantais o'i waith. En: He sometimes worried that Carys would overpower him or take advantage of his work. Cy: Fe benderfynodd gynnal sgwrs â hi, gan obeithio bod syntheiddio eu syniadau yn cyflwyno ffrwyth. En: He decided to have a conversation with her, hoping that synthesizing their ideas would bear fruit. Cy: "Carys," meddai Gethin, torri trwy ei feddyliau ei hun. En: "Carys," Gethin said, cutting through his own thoughts. Cy: "Rydym yn grymusach gyda'n gilydd. Dewch, gadewch i ni weld beth y gallwn ni ei wneud os cyfunwn ein syniadau." En: "We are stronger together. Come on, let's see what we can do if we combine our ideas." Cy: Roedd Carys yn blinkio'n syn yn gyntaf, ond yna'n gwenu'n cytundeb. En: Carys blinked in surprise at first, but then smiled in agreement. Cy: "Syniad da," atebodd hi, gan ysgafnhau. En: "Good idea," she replied, lightening up. Cy: Ar ddiwrnod y cyflwyniad, gallech glywed curiad calonau'r ddau wrth iddynt sefyll o flaen y rheolwr theatr. En: On the day of the presentation, you could hear the pounding hearts of both as they stood before the theater manager. Cy: Roedd y cyflwyniad yn dechrau. En: The presentation began. Cy: Gyda'u syniadau wedi eu gwnio'n fedrus, roedd y cyflwyniad yn llifo'n rhwydd. En: With their ideas skillfully woven together, the presentation flowed smoothly. Cy: Gethin roedd wedi dod o hyd i wrethin i gymysgu'r syniadau, gan wneud y rheolwr yn hynod o bryderus. En: Gethin had found the thread to mix the ideas, making the manager very impressed. Cy: Wedi'r cyfarfod, dywedodd y rheolwr wrth y ddau: "Mae'n glir eich bod yn dalentog yn unigol, ond mae eich gwaith ar y cyd yn wirioneddol ysblennydd." En: After the meeting, the manager said to both of them, "It's clear you're talented individually, but your collaborative work is truly splendid." Cy: Roedd y bos hefyd yn falch iawn, gan addo un ohonynt daro'r cyfle am hyrwyddiad. En: The boss was also very pleased, promising one of them the chance for a promotion. Cy: Gadawodd Gethin a Carys y theatr yn deimladau o lwyddiant. En: Gethin and Carys left the theater feeling successful. Cy: Roedd Gethin wedi dod i ddeall nad oedd problemau efallai'r gorau i'w datrys ar eu pen ei hun, ond weithiau trwy weithio gyda'i gilydd. En: Gethin had come to understand that problems might not be best solved alone, but sometimes by working together. Cy: A'r ddau ohonynt yn torheulo yn effaith eu llwyddiant, roedd y Bae yn dal i fyw a priawd, ond nawr roeddent yn gobeithio am ddyfodol gwell. En: As they both basked in the effect of their success, the Bae continued to live and thrive, but now they hoped for a better future.

En: The sun was setting over Fae Caerdydd, painting the water with beautiful colors. Cy: Roedd y bwrlwm o gerddoriaeth a sŵn y dorriadau'n llenwi'r awyr. En: The buzz of music and the noise of the crowd filled the air. Cy: Roedd Gareth yn sefyll y tu ôl i'r llwyfan, yn nerfus ond hefyd yn edrych ymlaen. En: Gareth stood behind the stage, nervous but also looking forward. Cy: Roedd y band yn ymestyn y diweddglo un sŵn o flaen iddo. En: The band extended the final note of sound before him. Cy: Roedd eu synau'n rhyfeddu ac yn cyffroi'r gynulleidfa. En: Their sounds amazed and excited the audience. Cy: Roedd Rhiannon, yn wahanol, ar fynd drwy'r tyrfaoedd. En: Rhiannon, on the other hand, was moving through the crowds. Cy: Yn llaw hi roedd llyfr nodiadau a microffon, yn barod i gofnodi pob sillaf a nodyn. En: In her hand was a notebook and microphone, ready to record every syllable and note. Cy: Roedd hi'n gwenu wrth glywed muzak yn cyd-chwalu’r cyflymiadau o hwyl a bywyd. En: She smiled as she heard muzak mingling with the quick tempo of fun and life. Cy: Mae Gareth, yn arfer bod yn dawel, yn breuddwydio am y perfformiad perffaith. En: Gareth, usually quiet, dreamed of the perfect performance. Cy: Roedd yn caru chwarae gitar a sgwennu caneuon, ond roedd ofn y llwyfan yn ei ddal. En: He loved playing guitar and writing songs, but stage fright held him back. Cy: Fodd bynnag, dros ben y cyfan, roedd angen iddo wybod a allai ei ganu goncro calon rhywun arall. En: However, above all else, he needed to know if his singing could conquer someone else's heart. Cy: Roedd Rhiannon yn gefnogol ers tro, yn sicr o'i gallu sifftio'r storïau gorau o bobl. En: Rhiannon had been supportive for a while, sure of her ability to sift out the best stories from people. Cy: Ond, yn dawel, roedd hi'n gobeithio am rywbeth mwy personol. En: But, quietly, she hoped for something more personal. Cy: Efallai rhywun i rannu ei storïau â hwy. En: Maybe someone to share her stories with. Cy: "Dwi'n barod," meddai Gareth yn dawel yng nghornel llwyfan. En: "I'm ready," Gareth said quietly in the corner of the stage. Cy: Dechreuodd y gitâr, llithrodd y ceinciau o'i fysedd i'r cynulleidfa. En: The guitar started, and the notes glided from his fingers to the audience. Cy: Roedd y geiriau yn llifo'n ewynog fel y tonnau. En: The words flowed like the waves. Cy: Roedd Rhiannon yn gwrando. En: Rhiannon listened. Cy: Cafodd ei swyno gan y sŵn nawr llawn o'r cyfeillgarwch a'r diffuantrwydd yng ngherddoriaeth Gareth. En: She was captivated by the sound now full of friendship and sincerity in Gareth's music. Cy: Roedd yn teimlo rhywbeth yn symud yn ei chalon. En: She felt something move in her heart. Cy: Wedi'r perfformiad, cymerodd Rhiannon y cam cyntaf. En: After the performance, Rhiannon took the first step. Cy: "Hei, roedd hynny'n wych," meddai hi'n gariadus, gan weiddi tros y clychu. En: "Hey, that was amazing," she said lovingly, shouting over the clamor. Cy: "Rydw i'n Rhiannon. Rydw i'n sgwennu am gemau cerddorol." En: "I'm Rhiannon. I write about musical events." Cy: "Diolch," atebodd Gareth, ychydig yn syn, ond yn falch. En: "Thanks," Gareth replied, slightly surprised, but pleased. Cy: "Mae'n braf cwrdd â rhywun sy'n gwerthfawrogi fy ngwaith." En: "It's nice to meet someone who appreciates my work." Cy: Roedd sgwrs rhwng y ddau yn troi'n naturiol. En: The conversation between the two turned naturally. Cy: Rhannodd Gareth ei ofnau a'i freuddwydion, a rhoddodd Rhiannon enw da iddo ynglŷn â'r byd yn ei gwaith. En: Gareth shared his fears and dreams, and Rhiannon gave him a good reputation in her work about the world. Cy: Roedd cydsyniad syllu rhwng y ddau. En: There was a mutual understanding between the two. Cy: Ni aeth pethau yn gymhleth nac yn gyflym. En: Things didn't become complicated or rush quickly. Cy: Yn hytrach, roeddent yn teimlo bod angen i'r gymeradwyaeth broffesiynol hefyd ddod gyda chyfeillgarwch. En: Instead, they felt that professional approval should also come with friendship. Cy: Roedd Rhiannon yn teimlo mwy yn gartrefol, yn adnabod nad yw ei gwaith yn bodoli ar wahân i'w bywyd personol. En: Rhiannon felt more at home, knowing that her work doesn't exist separate from her personal life. Cy: Dewisodd Gareth ac Rhiannon i gyfarfod eto, galle chwarddio glas pan ofynnodd pa noson fyddai'n ymarferwch dydd Gwener. En: Gareth and Rhiannon chose to meet again, laughing when asked what night would practice Friday be. Cy: Roedd y gorlif o'r farchnad ar ben eu cyrnau, ac roeddent yn gadael gyda'r wawr ar y ffordd i gartrefi, gobeithio am y diwrnodau i ddod. En: The bustle of the market was at their heels, and they left with the dawn on their way home, hoping for the days to come. Cy: Ac felly y dechreuodd eu stori; cyfarfyddiad yn y Bae, ymhell y tu hwnt i berfformiadau a cheisiadau am newyddiaduraeth - i gyfeillgarwch oedd yn datblygu'n rym nerthol. En: And so their story began; an encounter in the Bae, far beyond performances and journalistic pursuits - to a friendship that was developing into a powerful force. Cy: Roedd Gareth a Rhiannon yn gwybod eu bod wedi darganfod rhywbeth gwirioneddol arbennig - rhywun i wrando, i ddeall ac i werthfawrogi. En: Gareth and Rhiannon knew they had discovered something truly special - someone to listen, to understand, and to appreciate. Cy: Roedd yn agoriad newydd; cyfle i archwilio, i ddysgu ac i caru. En: It was a new opening; a chance to explore, to learn, and to love.

En: On the magnificent slopes of Eryri National Park, the remnants of winter were retreating, and spring had arrived. Cy: Roedd y coed yn llawn bywyd newydd, ac roedd y glaswellt yn sïud fel lliwiau newydd yr ennyd. En: The trees were full of new life, and the grass was shimmering like the fresh colors of the moment. Cy: Roedd Ioan yn gwybod mai dyma'r amser orau i archwilio'r mynyddoedd. En: Ioan knew that this was the best time to explore the mountains. Cy: Roedd yn enwog fel tywysydd lleol, gan arwain cerddwyr taer trwy'r llwybrau troellog. En: He was renowned as a local guide, leading eager hikers through the winding paths. Cy: Ond yn ddyfnach na'i gariad at y mynyddoedd, roedd resentment wedi glastwreiddio yn ei galon – resentment tuag at ei chwaer, Seren. En: But deeper than his love for the mountains, resentment had taken root in his heart—resentment towards his sister, Seren. Cy: Saith mlynedd yn ôl, gadawodd Seren gartref. En: Seven years ago, Seren left home. Cy: Na alwad, na newyddion – dim ond tawelwch. En: No call, no news—just silence. Cy: A nawr, roedd hi'n sefyll o'i flaen, yn awyddus i adennill y bond roedden nhw wedi ei rannu fel plant. En: And now, she stood before him, eager to restore the bond they had shared as children. Cy: Ei phresenoldeb yn y cartref yn ystod argyfwng teuluol diweddar oedd ei hymgais i ddod â'r teulu yn ôl at ei gilydd. En: Her presence at home during a recent family crisis was her attempt to bring the family back together. Cy: Ond roedd y straen o'r gorffennol yn drwm. En: But the strain of the past was heavy. Cy: Roedd Ioan wedi penderfynu. En: Ioan had made a decision. Cy: Penderfynodd fynd â Seren ar daith gerdded heriol, yn gobeithio y byddai'r profiad a rennir yn agor y drws i ddialog rhwng y ddau. En: He decided to take Seren on a challenging walk, hoping the shared experience would open the door to dialogue between them. Cy: Bore glir oedd hi pan wnaethant gychwyn ar y llwybr. En: It was a clear morning when they set out on the trail. Cy: Y mynyddoedd yn fawreddog o'u cwmpas, yr awyr las yn glir. En: The mountains were majestic around them, the blue sky clear. Cy: Wrth groesi tiroedd cain llechwraidd llawn ceiog a blodau'r gwanwyn, roedd tawelwch rhyfedd rhwng Ioan a Seren. En: While crossing the gentle, hidden valleys filled with streams and spring flowers, there was a strange silence between Ioan and Seren. Cy: Disgynnodd cwmwl o amheuaeth ar y ddau wrth iddyn nhw ddechrau dringo'r copa serth. En: A cloud of doubt descended on them as they began to climb the steep summit. Cy: Yn sydyn, torrodd storm. En: Suddenly, a storm broke. Cy: Eryri yn cael ei lapio mewn cwmwl trwchus a glaw trwm. En: Eryri was wrapped in a thick cloud and heavy rain. Cy: Cysgodont ar led. En: They sheltered by a ledge. Cy: Roedd yn gorfodi Ioan i edrych yn fanwl o'i chwaer. En: It forced Ioan to look deeply at his sister. Cy: "Pam? En: "Why? Cy: Pam yr wyt ti wedi mynd mor bell? En: Why did you go so far?" Cy: " gofynnodd. En: he asked. Cy: Roedd ei lais yn llais yn curo fel ynadon o bell keddi wrth y storm. En: His voice was like distant judges beating in time with the storm. Cy: Mae llygaid Seren yn lleddfu ac mae hi'n dweud, "Roeddwn i'n ofni dod yn ôl. En: Seren's eyes softened, and she said, "I was afraid to come back. Cy: Ond mae hiraeth wastad wedi bod, a oedd ddim yn gallu cael ei drechu gan belder. En: But there's always been a longing that couldn't be defeated by distance. Cy: Y teulu yw'r cartref. En: Family is home." Cy: "Amser maith ar ôl iddynt siarad, roedd storm wedi bwrw heibio, ac roedd y mynyddoedd eto yn anifeiliaid y gwynt. En: Long after they talked, the storm had passed, and the mountains were, once again, beasts of the wind. Cy: Roedd Ioan yn edrych ar y mynyddoedd, ond roedd yn gweld ei chwaer. En: Ioan looked at the mountains, but he saw his sister. Cy: Roedd eu calonnau'n ysgafnach. En: Their hearts were lighter. Cy: "Byddaf yma, Seren," addawodd hi. En: "I will be here, Seren," he promised. Cy: Ac yn y fan honno, roedd Ioan yn dewis maddeuant, gan ei derbyn yn ei fywyd eto. En: And right there, Ioan chose forgiveness, accepting her back into his life. Cy: Roedd y ddau yn dychwelyd i'r llwybr a dechreuon nhw ddringo'r mynyddoedd, yn symud i ddyfodol dywyllach, lle roedden nhw yn ol, ond gyda phenderfyniadau newydd. En: The two returned to the trail and began climbing the mountains, moving towards a brighter future, where they were once again together, but with new decisions. Cy: Roedd y daith entrejust ar gyfleoedd newydd, ac roedd Ioan wedi rhyddhau ei rwystredigaethau hir-gynaliadwy, dysgu gwrthsefyll yr agwedd yn erbyn cariad teuluol. En: The journey offered new opportunities, and Ioan had released his long-held frustrations, learning to resist the inclination against familial love. Cy: Roedd Seren bellach yn adduned, tebyg i'r mynyddoedd, o'i hymrwymiad newydd i ddod equality gorfddygol, gan gefnogi ei theulu fel y gwnaeth y mynyddoedd gyda'r dirwedd lle yr oeddent. En: Seren was now a commitment, like the mountains, in her renewed pledge to come fully into her own, supporting her family as the mountains supported the landscape where they stood.

    Fluent Fiction - Welsh: The Missing Passport: Gareth's Race Against Time Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more: fluentfiction.com/cy/episode/2026-06-04-22-34-01-cy Story Transcript: Cy: Ym mrigian perffaith y gwanwyn hwyr, roedd heddlu Caerdydd yn brysur. En: In the perfect late spring, heddlu Caerdydd (Cardiff police) were busy. Cy: Roedd yr orsaf heddlu'n llawn pobl, lleisiau a phapurau yn symud yn sydyn. En: The police station was full of people, voices, and papers moving quickly. Cy: Dros y ddesg, gyda llyfrau nodiadau a thelefonnau'n cyflymu, safodd Gareth. En: Over the desk, with notebooks and phones speeding up, Gareth stood. Cy: Roedd ei wyneb yn dawel ond mewnol roedd pryder yn ei daflu i mewn. En: His face was calm but internally anxiety was throwing him inside. Cy: Roedd ei basbort, allwedd ei gynhadledd bwysig yn Nulyn, ar goll. En: His passport, the key to his important conference in Nulyn (Dublin), was missing. Cy: "Mae llawer yn dibynnu ar hyn," meddai Gareth yn daer wrth Sioned, swyddog ar ddyletswydd. En: "A lot depends on this," Gareth said earnestly to Sioned, the duty officer. Cy: Gwnaeth ei orau i esbonio'r sefyllfa. En: He did his best to explain the situation. Cy: "Bydd fy hediad prynhawn yfory, ac nid oes gennyf nawr fy mhrawf teithio hanfodol." En: "My flight is tomorrow afternoon, and now I don't have my essential travel proof." Cy: Safodd Sioned yn ddiffuant, gyda llyfr nodiadau yn llaw. En: Sioned stood sincerely, with a notebook in hand. Cy: "Byddwn yn cofnodi'r adroddiad yma, Gareth. Gwnewch yn siŵr ein bod wedi cynnwys pob manylyn." En: "We will record the report here, Gareth. Make sure we've included every detail." Cy: Roedd Gareth yn anniddig ac yn poeni. En: Gareth was restless and worried. Cy: Roedd y cloc yn tic-tac llawer rhy gyflym, ac er yr amser yma yn yr orsaf, nid oedd amser iddo stopio. En: The clock was ticking far too quickly, and despite the time here at the station, there was no time for him to stop. Cy: Roedd dryswch yn iechydol pan ddylai efallai fod gyda'i deulu, dal i ymarfer ei gyflwyniad. En: There was confusion where he perhaps should have been with his family, still practicing his presentation. Cy: Roedd gobaith bach yn gymorth, ond nid oedd Perlau Taf yn rhywle cyffyrddus. En: A small hope served as a help, but Perlau Taf wasn’t a very comfortable place. Cy: Yn sydyn, canodd ei ffôn. En: Suddenly, his phone rang. Cy: Carys oedd ar y llinell. En: Carys was on the line. Cy: “Gareth, edrychwch yn y ceir!” sibrydodd hi’n excited. En: “Gareth, look in the cars!” she whispered excitedly. Cy: "Ydach chi'n siŵr?" gofynnodd Gareth yn chwilfrydig. En: "Are you sure?" Gareth asked curiously. Cy: Cyn iddo gael siawns i ailadrodd y cwestiwn, roedd Carys wedi hwylio'r neges. En: Before he had a chance to repeat the question, Carys had ended the call. Cy: Roedd ei eiriau'n ysgafn fel gwynt y bore. En: Her words were light as the morning wind. Cy: Apwyntiodd ei ben i ddiolch i Sioned a phawb eraill yn yr orsaf, cawsant eu sulum gan y cysyniad o synhwyro golau newydd a tort allan y drws i'w gar. En: He nodded his head to thank Sioned and everyone else at the station; they were comforted by the concept of sensing a new light, and he rushed out the door to his car. Cy: Agorodd y drysau'n ofalus; y drysau oedd gwellt olaf ei obeithion. En: He opened the doors carefully; the doors were the last strand of his hopes. Cy: Yno, yn y blwch ymglaw wasgwyd y basbort, yn ddiogel fel cyd-angau clustog meddal. En: There, in the glove box, the passport was pressed, safe like a soft cushion. Cy: Teimlai Gareth hydywedd o lawenydd. En: Gareth felt a surge of joy. Cy: Gyda phrawf ei lwc dan ei fraich, cychwynnodd Gareth ato, gan wynebu ei daith gyda hyder newydd wedi'i enyn gan brofiad a dysg o rheoli'r manion sydd yn bwysicach nag y tybiodd gyntaf. En: With proof of his luck under his arm, Gareth headed out, facing his journey with newfound confidence ignited by experience and understanding of managing the small things that are more important than he first thought. Cy: A chariad a diolchodd i’r cyffur crisp, daeth y stori i ben; Gareth gadawodd i baratoi am ei daith, gyda dysg newydd sydd a mwy, ar sut i reoli a chyfaddasu i'r byd cymhleth sydd o'n cwmpas. En: With affection and thanks to the crispy luck, the story ended; Gareth went to prepare for his journey, with new lessons on how to manage and adapt to the complex world around us.

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.

    Fluent Fiction - Welsh: Blooming Harmony: How Creativity Brought Bodnant Alive Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more: fluentfiction.com/cy/episode/2026-06-02-22-34-02-cy Story Transcript: Cy: Yn gynnar yn y gwanwyn, pan roedd y blodau cyntaf ar eu hanterth yn Eryri, roedd Emrys, Carys, a Gareth yn sefyll yng nghanol tirlun enwog gardd Bodnant. 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.
