Story Transcript:

Cy: Amrediad o tŷ bachog, teithiwyd gyda blodau ysblennydd a thai carreg hudolus, gosod roedd cyrion cyffrous o gartref hyfryd ym Mae Caerdydd.
En: A range of quaint cottages, adorned with magnificent flowers and enchanted stone houses, set the exciting boundaries of a lovely home in Cardiff Bay.

Cy: Roedd yr awyr yn llawn sŵn plant yn chwarae a'r persawr o rosod yn troi gyda'r adleisio o haf.
En: The air was filled with the sound of children playing and the scent of roses mingling with the echoes of summer.

Cy: Roedd Dafydd yn sibryd un wrth ei hun, ei wyneb llawn pryder a llawenydd.
En: Dafydd whispered to himself, his face full of worry and joy.

Cy: Roedd eisiau i'r parti gardd yr haf fod mor berffaith â bosibl.
En: He wanted the summer garden party to be as perfect as possible.

Cy: Roedd pob manylyn, o’r goleuadau llochr, y byns uniaith Gymreig, a’r caws Caerffili, wedi eu hasio i’w gynllun.
En: Every detail, from the lantern lights, the traditional Welsh buns, to the Caerphilly cheese, had been carefully woven into his plan.

Cy: Ymddangosodd Carys gyda llyfr cookin yn ei dwylo.
En: Carys appeared with a cookbook in her hands.

Cy: "Beth wyt ti'n poeni amdano?" gofynnodd.
En: "What are you worrying about?" she asked.

Cy: "Bydd popeth yn ardderchog."
En: "Everything will be wonderful."

Cy: Chwerthodd Dafydd, ond wyneb siomedig oedd ganddo.
En: Dafydd chuckled, but a disappointed look was on his face.

Cy: "Mae Emlyn," meddai, "wedi dweud y gallai rhaid i rai o'r teulu roi'r gorau iddi oherwydd... wel, dweud y gwir, anghytundeb bach."
En: "It's Emlyn," he said, "who mentioned that some of the family might have to drop out because... well, to be honest, a slight disagreement."

Cy: Dywedodd Carys ddisymud, "Gad inni gynnal yr hyn a allwn ni. Bydd pawb yn mwynhau. Gallwn ni wneud hyn."
En: Carys replied calmly, "Let us hold what we can. Everyone will enjoy it. We can do this."

Cy: Ar dudwen gorffwys Emlyn, roedd ei lygaid yn cau, gwrthiant rhwng angenst a chyffro.
En: Under the elder tree rested Emlyn, his eyes closing, a struggle between anxiety and excitement.

Cy: Ond, datblygu wnaeth yr awyr i gymylog.
En: But, the sky began to cloud over.

Cy: Roedd y tymor haf yn ansefydlog fel bob tro ond roedd addo.
En: The summer season was as unstable as ever yet promising.

Cy: Ynghanol hyn, y mwyaf i’w llusgo nôl yw syniad i Ddafydd: Cario’r parti y tu fewn, neu ddal ati y tu allan.
En: Amidst this, the biggest pullback for Dafydd was the idea: to move the party inside or to hold it outside.

Cy: Er gwaethaf y godi darlun, cymerodd benderfyniad.
En: Despite the uncertainty, a decision was made.

Cy: "Brysiwch!" dweudodd dros yr awyr, "Rhowch y pabell wrth law!"
En: "Hurry!" he shouted across the air, "Put up the tent at the ready!"

Cy: Wrth i deuluoedd ddod, cafodd popeth ei newid.
En: As families arrived, everything changed.

Cy: Roedd pethau’n dechrau rhyddio, trafodion!
En: Things started to loosen, conversations blossomed!

Cy: A rogli gorffwylliad — ond sgwrs wresog oedd geiriau Dafydd.
En: And the scent of merriment — but it was Dafydd's warm words that stood out.

Cy: "Nid felly yr wyneb nôl, ond i’r lwc a heddwch yr hyn y dan ni gyda’i gilydd," cyhoeddi.
En: "Let not the front façade matter, but to the luck and peace that we have together," he proclaimed.

Cy: Ro’dd llawer o sgwarnog yn teithio, oedd yn don ar don.
En: There were many a hare traveling, wave upon wave.

Cy: Fel cawod a daeth ymbelydr haul yn ôl, croesodd Nosona'r ffordd o flaen, persawrus o hanner trugaredd.
En: Like a shower, the sun's rays returned, crossing Nosona's path ahead, fragrant with half-grace.

Cy: Smoc tanbeidio gan Ddafydd gyda’i boced fawr, roedd gwynfyd dros gynulliad popeth.
En: A celebratory puff from Dafydd with his large pocket, bliss was over the gathered everything.

Cy: “Diolch,” meddai Dafydd, datguddio don gywir euraidd yn gwasgar wrth wrth y nifer.
En: "Thank you," said Dafydd, revealing a true golden note scattering among the many.

Cy: Roedd y gludi calonnau, a gwynfyd oedd ei berffeithrwydd newydd.
En: It was the glue of hearts, and bliss was its newly found perfection.

Cy: Ac yna, wrth i’r oren wawr ddod, gweld y wawr hirfaith yn gadael dillad aur ar eu hwynebau ddywedyd ‘hynach’.
En: And then, as the orange dawn arrived, seeing the long dawn leave golden clothes on their faces they said 'older.'

Cy: Dysgodd Dafydd yn y diwedd.
En: Dafydd finally learned.

Cy: Nid clasur yn yr ymarferydd oedd cynnal ond yn y chwerthin, a llonydd.
En: It was not the classic in the practice but in the laughter, and peace.

Cy: Roedd wedi diddanu mynychu, mewn dim ond rasbennu.
En: He had entertained to participate, in just jovial company.
