Story Transcript:
Cy: Ar fore heulog yng nghanol haf, cerddodd Eira trwy strydoedd prydferth Rhiwderin.
En: On a sunny morning in the middle of summer, Eira walked through the beautiful streets of Rhiwderin.
Cy: Cafodd y pentref suburbanol ei amgylchynu gan fryniau glas a chytiau cerrig cain.
En: The suburban village was surrounded by green hills and elegant stone cottages.
Cy: Roedd y gerddi wedi'u trin yn berffaith, a'r awyrgylch yn llawn sŵn adar a chusanau bywiog y gwynt.
En: The gardens were perfectly tended, and the atmosphere was filled with the sound of birds and lively kisses of the wind.
Cy: Er iddi ymweld â'i fam-gu am yr haf, teimlai Eira yn ddiarth.
En: Although she was visiting her grandmother for the summer, Eira felt like a stranger.
Cy: Roedd Cai, ei chefnder, yn aros ar stepiau'r gât i’w chyfarch.
En: Cai, her cousin, was waiting on the gate steps to greet her.
Cy: "Sut wyt ti, Eira?" cychwynnodd e gyda gwên gynnes, tra’i bod hi'n brwydro i deimlo’n gartrefol.
En: "How are you, Eira?" he began with a warm smile, while she struggled to feel at home.
Cy: Roedd Gwyneth, ei modryb, yn paratoi paned wrth y bwrdd gegin, gan ei gwahodd i ymuno.
En: Gwyneth, her aunt, was preparing a cup of tea at the kitchen table, inviting her to join.
Cy: Lle roedd ei theulu'n llawn caredigrwydd, rhedodd Eira ei llaw trwy ei gwallt, yn teimlo fel y byddai'n hangach.
En: Where her family was full of kindness, Eira ran her hand through her hair, feeling like she would be lost.
Cy: Roedd y gegin yn llawn arogl bara ffres ac roedd y tŷ'n llawn atgofion, ond roedd Eira'n teimlo fel pe bai hi'n cael ei gwahardd o’u clwb arbennig.
En: The kitchen was full of the scent of fresh bread and the house full of memories, but Eira felt as if she was being excluded from their special club.
Cy: Felly, penderfynodd fynd ati i archwilio hen lyfr nodiadau.
En: So, she decided to go through an old notebook.
Cy: Yn ddiwedd y dydd, pan oedd y tywynnu haul eisoes yn canu lawer dipyn, dododd Eira un o gyfeillion ei mam-gu.
En: At the end of the day, when the sun's glow was already quite low, Eira discovered one of her grandmother's friends.
Cy: Brif wefr oedd y llyfr nodiadau a chofiadur di-ri ei mam-gu.
En: The main thrill was the notebook and countless memoirs of her grandmother.
Cy: Darllenodd Eira am hanes ei hargyfwng dros nos, pan weithredodd ei mam-gu yn ofnadwy o ddewr yn wyneb trychineb naturiol.
En: Eira read about the story of her grandmother's overnight crisis, when she acted incredibly bravely in the face of a natural disaster.
Cy: Gwnaethpwyd argraff arni gan nerth yr hen wraig, ac mi wnaeth hyn newid rhywbeth y tu mewn i'w chalon.
En: She was impressed by the strength of the old woman, and this changed something inside her heart.
Cy: Drwy eiriau’r llyfr nodiadau, llwyddodd Eira i deimlo'r gwreiddiau a oedd wedi digwydd ar hyd amser.
En: Through the words of the notebook, Eira managed to feel the roots that had established over time.
Cy: Daw seren wawr i Nos Sul, a daeth y ŵyl leol.
En: As the dawn star came to Nos Sul, the local festival arrived.
Cy: Bylchau gan lanternau, caneuon yn llenwi'r aer.
En: Gaps were filled by lanterns, and songs filled the air.
Cy: Roedd Eira yn dawnsio gyda'r pentrefwyr, ei chalon bellach yn ysgafnach, gyda’r ymdeimlad newydd hwn.
En: Eira danced with the villagers, her heart now l
