Story Transcript:

Cy: Am fore haf braf, roedd Gareth yn cerdded llwybr arfordirol prydferth Sir Benfro.
En: On a fine summer morning, Gareth was walking the picturesque coastal path of Sir Benfro.

Cy: Roedd adar yn canu'u halawon, a'r haul yn llithro ar sglein y môr.
En: Birds were singing their tunes, and the sun was gliding over the gleam of the sea.

Cy: Roedd ei galon yn drymach na'r pac oedd ar ei gefn oherwydd peth personol diweddar.
En: His heart was heavier than the pack on his back due to a recent personal matter.

Cy: Roedd angen tawelwch a golygfeydd hardd i ddianc.
En: He needed peace and beautiful sights to escape.

Cy: Ymhellach i lawr y llwybr, roedd Eleri yn sefyll gyda'i chamera yn barod.
En: Further down the path, Eleri stood with her camera ready.

Cy: Roedd hi'n mynd ar drywydd y llun perffaith ar gyfer arddangosfa bwysig yn y dyfodol agos.
En: She was pursuing the perfect picture for an important exhibition in the near future.

Cy: Roedd hi'n frwd o bondigrybwyll, ond roedd amser yn mynd yn brin ac roedd awyrgylch newidiol y tywydd yn ei chynhyrfu.
En: She was extremely enthusiastic, but time was running short, and the changing weather was unsettling her.

Cy: Wrth fynd heibio, sylwodd Gareth ar Eleri yn ymdrechu â'i thripod ymhlith y blodau gwyllt.
En: As he passed by, Gareth noticed Eleri struggling with her tripod among the wildflowers.

Cy: "Helo," meddai, "Ydych chi'n saethu adar? Mae adar brodorol godidog yma."
En: "Hello," he said, "Are you shooting birds? There are magnificent native birds here."

Cy: Cododd Eleri lygad gleision pryderus a chyfarfod â'i edrychgarwch cynnes.
En: Eleri raised her worried blue eyes and met his warm gaze.

Cy: "Ydw," atebodd, "mae'n anodd cael hyd i'r cydbwysedd cywir. Mae angen rhywle tawelach."
En: "Yes," she replied, "it's hard to find the right balance. I need somewhere quieter."

Cy: Cynigiwyd Gareth ei gymorth.
En: Gareth offered his help.

Cy: Roedd ganddo wybodaeth am y llwybrau ac adnabod mannau cudd lle gallai adar prin gael eu gweld.
En: He had knowledge of the paths and knew hidden spots where rare birds could be seen.

Cy: Fel helpwr, roedd cyfle i osgoi ei bryderon ei hun.
En: As a helper, it was a chance to avoid his own worries.

Cy: Ac yn sydyn, roedd dau estron yn troi'n gyfeillion.
En: And suddenly, two strangers turned into friends.

Cy: Wrth gerdded ochr yn ochr, dechreuodd Eleri siarad am ei breuddwydion.
En: As they walked side by side, Eleri began to talk about her dreams.

Cy: Roedd y diddordeb a'i hedmygiad yn amlwg yn llawn yng ngofres ei llais.
En: Her interest and admiration were apparent, full in the timbre of her voice.

Cy: Dechruodd Gareth agor am ei galedi diweddar, a thrwy gydweithrediad a chymdeithasu, dechreuodd balm cymdeithas leddfu'i boen.
En: Gareth began to open up about his recent hardships, and through cooperation and companionship, the balm of society began to ease his pain.

Cy: Yn fuan, safodd y ddau mewn cysgod coeden ger clogwyn.
En: Soon, the two stood in the shade of a tree near a cliff.

Cy: Yn sydyn, glywodd Eleri sŵn y gwynt a gweld aderyn mewn lliw prin euraidd a glas yn hedfan yn uchel.
En: Suddenly, Eleri heard the sound of the wind and saw a bird in rare golden and blue colors flying high.

Cy: Yr eiliad berffaith!
En: The perfect moment!

Cy: Cafodd hi lun syfrdanol; roedd hi'n llwyddiant oedd hi wedi dyheu amdano.
En: She captured an astounding photo; it was the success she had longed for.

Cy: Roedd Gareth, ynghyd â hi, yn edmygu'r rhyfeddod.
En: Gareth, along with her, admired the wonder.

Cy: Pan lwyddodd Eleri i anfon y llun at yr arddangosfa, roedd lulus.
En: When Eleri managed to send the photo to the exhibition, there was a triumph.

Cy: Ni allai Gareth ddim helpu ond ystyried ei lawenydd newydd yng nghwmni Eleri.
En: Gareth couldn't help but consider his newfound joy in Eleri's company.

Cy: Roedd fel petai'r adar wedi agor dimensiwn newydd iddo.
En: It was as if the birds had opened a new dimension for him.

Cy: Dilynodd cyfnod o lawenydd a bodlonrwydd i'r ddau yn ogystal â pherthynas newydd.
En: A period of joy and contentment followed for both, along with a new relationship.

Cy: Daw haf i ben yn Sir Benfro, ond nid yw'r ddechreuad newydd yn ddod i ben i Eleri a Gareth.
En: Summer comes to an end in Sir Benfro, but the new beginning doesn’t end for Eleri and Gareth.

Cy: Roedd gan y ddau, gyda'u gilydd, ddechreuad newydd, llawn optimistiaeth.
En: Together, they had a new beginning, full of optimism.

Cy: Roeddent yn barod i hedfan ar eu tristwch.
En: They were ready to soar away from their sorrow.
