Story Transcript:

Cy: O dan haul tua'r prynhawn yng Nghaerdydd, safai tri brawd a chwaer allan o'r Amgueddfa Genedlaethol.
En: Under the afternoon sun in Cardiff, three siblings stood outside the National Museum.

Cy: Gwen oedd y cyntaf i gynnig eu bod nhw'n ymweld yno.
En: Gwen was the first to suggest that they visit there.

Cy: Roedd hi'n cofio'r teithiau, fel petai'n teimlo dwylo eu mam hyd heddiw, yn dangos y lluniau gwych iddi.
En: She remembered the tours, as if she could still feel their mother's hands, showing her the wonderful pictures.

Cy: Emrys, yr hynaf, edrychodd ar yr adeilad gyda dimai o fwrlwm yn ei galon.
En: Emrys, the eldest, looked at the building with a slight thrill in his heart.

Cy: Roedd yn gysgod i'w fam, bob amser yn gwirio bod y traddodiadau'n parhau.
En: He was a shadow to their mother, always checking that traditions continued.

Cy: Roedd Hefin, y ieuengaf, yn edrych fel pe bai wedi'u cario gan y llanw amser, teimladau cymysg yn ei ben.
En: Hefin, the youngest, looked as if he had been carried by the tide of time, mixed feelings in his head.

Cy: Aethant i mewn, cerdded dan y nenfydau uchel lle mae'r cerrig marmor yn creu gorffwyll o gynnwrf â'u traed.
En: They went inside, walking under the high ceilings where the marble stones created a frenzy of movement beneath their feet.

Cy: Edrychodd Emrys ar eu llygaid taflu goleuni i'r lluniau lliwgar.
En: Emrys watched their eyes cast light on the colorful paintings.

Cy: "Cofiwch," dywedodd Emrys, "dyma yw'r hyn a wnaeth ein mam ei charu.
En: "Remember," Emrys said, "this is what our mother loved."

Cy: ""Dwi eisiau arwain," awgrymodd Gwen.
En: "I want to lead," suggested Gwen.

Cy: "Dwi eisiau iddi deimlo yn fy nghalon fy mod i'n rhan ohoni.
En: "I want her to feel in my heart that I am a part of her."

Cy: ""Mae'n iawn," atebodd Emrys yn syml, ac wrthon waith, cerddodd Gwen ymlaen, ei chalon yn llawn o gysylltiad â'r gorffennol.
En: "It's alright," Emrys replied simply, and as if on cue, Gwen walked ahead, her heart full of connection to the past.

Cy: Roedd Hefin yn seibio, chwilied heibio iddynt, wrth osgoi'r lleoedd lle karmel fu.
En: Hefin paused, drifting past them, avoiding the places where caramel once was.

Cy: Roedd ei droedgam ymlaen, yn ei gadw ar ffin gwirionedd synhwyrau a realiti poenus.
En: His step forward kept him on the edge of sensory truth and painful reality.

Cy: Roeddynt gyferbyn â'r paentiad gorau.
En: They faced the best painting.

Cy: Cerddodd Gwen ymlaen, yn cyffwrdd â llaw Hefin.
En: Gwen walked forward, touching Hefin's hand.

Cy: Dywedodd, "Dyma oedd y llun mae mam yn ei garu mwyaf.
En: She said, "This is the picture that mom loved the most."

Cy: "Amlosogodd eu hisel frwdfrydedd, ac Emrys a Gwen yn edrych ar Hefin am ddweud ei feddwl.
En: Their subdued enthusiasm mingled, and Emrys and Gwen looked to Hefin for his thoughts.

Cy: "Mae'n teimlo fel petai ei hysbryd gyda ni," cyfaddefodd Emrys, llais yn llawn hiraeth.
En: "It feels like her spirit is with us," Emrys admitted, his voice full of longing.

Cy: Syllodd Hefin hir.
En: Hefin gazed for a long time.

Cy: "Fi eisiau gwybod bod hi'n oke," meddai'n llawn o synnwyr brawdol a chais cau.
En: "I want to know she's okay," he said, full of brotherly sense and a quest for closure.

Cy: Gwen, gyda llygedd arlliw hirfelyn, atgoffodd ef nad oedd ef "angen cau popeth.
En: Gwen, with wistful eyes, reminded him he didn't "need to close everything."

Cy: " Bu ganddynt i gyd, ymithiant ac angerdd eu perthynasau.
En: They all embraced the complexity and passion of their relationships.

Cy: Ar y diwedd, daeth Gwyn, Emrys, a Hefin ati, yno yn yr amgueddfa, yn gyfundrefol o'u teulu.
En: In the end, Gwen, Emrys, and Hefin gathered together there in the museum, an embodiment of their family.

Cy: Digrifodd Emrys nad oedd angen iddynt ddilyn yn union i'r past.
En: Emrys remarked that they didn't need to follow exactly in the past's footsteps.

Cy: Roeddent hefyd yn gallu creu eu llwybr eu hunain o'u magwraeth.
En: They could also create their own path from their upbringing.

Cy: Wrth adael, gwenodd Gwen ar y brodyr wrth iddynt gamu allan dan yr haul haf, llaw yn llaw, teulu yn y byd sydd ohoni.
En: As they left, Gwen smiled at her brothers as they stepped out under the summer sun, hand in hand, a family in the world as it is.

Cy: Roedd eu mynedfa newydd o glywyd yn un a gwblhawyd hanes gyda phennod newydd.
En: Their new entrance was one that completed history with a new chapter.

Cy: Roeddynt wedi dod o hyd i heddwch trwy eu hymweliad â'r lleoedd wrth iddynt gyfarfod o'r diwedd gyda'r chapel o annefael priodol.
En: They had found peace through their visit to the places as they at last met with the aptly ordained chapel.
