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
