more:fluentfiction.com/cy/episode/2026-06-21-22-34-02-cy Story Transcript:Cy: Wrth i'r heulwen gynhesu St Fagan, roedd y golau yn dod i lawr ar yr hen adeiladau amrywiol, pob un â'i hanes unigryw.En: As the sunlight warmed St Fagan, the light cascaded down on the various old buildings, each with its own unique history.Cy: Gwnewch breifat y staff oedd Carys yn cerdded trwyddyn nhw.En: Making her way through them was Carys, who was walking along the private staff paths.Cy: Roedd hi wedi ymweld â'r amgueddfa i ddianc rhag monotoni bywyd bob dydd ac i ymgolli ym mhob peth Cymreig.En: She had visited the museum to escape the monotony of everyday life and to immerse herself in everything Welsh.Cy: Gyda hi, roedd Mabon, ei ffrind annwyl, yn wibdaith, bob amser yn annog Carys i wneud pethau annisgwyl.En: With her was Mabon, her dear friend, always on an adventure, constantly encouraging Carys to do unexpected things.Cy: Ar y llaw arall, roedd Owain yno gyda'i gamera llachar, yn damcaniaethol a phrysur yn ceisio dal momentau perffaith ar gyfer nodyn o ddaith.En: On the other hand, Owain was there with his bright camera, busy and theoretical as he tried to capture perfect moments for his travel notes.Cy: Roedd y prosiect hwn yn bwysig iddo.En: This project was important to him.Cy: Pob click o'i gamera oedd fel paragraff mewn stori, a roedd am ddal hanfod byw o St Fagan.En: Every click of his camera was like a paragraph in a story, and he wanted to capture the essence of life at St Fagan.Cy: Daeth y ddau i wydd yr un tai, y felin afon.En: The two arrived at the same cottages, the river mill.Cy: Carys a Mabon yn edrych i mewn gydag angerdd, tra oedd Owain yn cydosod ei ochr orau i gael y saethu perffaith.En: Carys and Mabon looked inside passionately, while Owain composed his best angle for the perfect shot.Cy: Hwntwmp, roedd Mabon yn gwenu i Owain, "Dyma'ch cyfle Carys," gwthiodd ei ffrind i ochr Owain, "Wyt ti'n mwynhau ffotograffiaeth?En: Suddenly, Mabon smiled at Owain, "Here's your chance, Carys," he nudged his friend towards Owain, "Do you enjoy photography?"Cy: "Trodd Owain gyda chymysgedd o chwilfrydedd a phethau diddorol.En: Owain turned with a mix of curiosity and interest.Cy: "Ie, mae ffotograffiaeth fel cofion mewn lluniau," atebodd.En: "Yes, photography is like memories in pictures," he replied.Cy: Cawsant sgwrs fyr, pan welodd Owain ddawn Carys am hanes Cymreig, rhoddodd wahoddiad i gymryd ran mewn ei brosiect.En: They had a brief conversation, during which Owain noticed Carys's love for Welsh history and invited her to participate in his project.Cy: Roedd hi'n gytûn gyda llawenydd cynnil.En: She agreed with a subtle joy.Cy: Wrth grwydro drwy y rhedyn gwyrdd a gwrando ar straeon y cartrefi pren, daeth Owain a Carys yn ffrindiau.En: As they wandered through the green ferns and listened to the stories of the wooden homes, Owain and Carys became friends.Cy: Yng nghanol y bwthyn, roedd taflen fechan yn sôn am arteffact newydd, taliad Nadolig, wedi'i gadw'n dawel ar gyfer cynnal ysbryd cymuned.En: In the middle of the cottage, there was a small leaflet speaking of a new artifact, a Christmas payment, quietly preserved to maintain community spirit.Cy: Ymgynghorwyd y ddau gyda'u penau i lawr, deall sawl gair newydd, wrth astudio'n fanwl.En: They consulted with their heads together, learning several new words, as they studied closely.Cy: Cyn iddi ddeall, roedd hi'n amser iddynt fynd.En: Before she realized it, it was time for them to leave.Cy: Roedd y dydd bron ar ben, ond nid y cwmnïaeth.En: The day was almost over, but not the company.Cy: Dywedodd Carys ac Owain eu hebyrth gyda dangosiadau'r ffôn.En: Carys and Owain said their goodbyes using their phones.Cy: Wedi gorddi rhai cyffyrddiadau, cawd trefn.En: After a flurry of touches, plans were set.Cy: O'r miri, cawsant drydydd cofnod o'r dydd y dre.En: From the excitement, they gained a third account of the day's events.Cy: Gadawodd Carys a Owain yr amgueddfa, â llawer o bethau i'w pasio yn ôl ac ymlaen, hyder a thir newydd dan eu traed.En: Carys and Owain left the museum, with much to share back and forth, confidence and new ground beneath their feet.Cy: Roedd y prynhawn wedi eu gadael â drysau agored i anturiaethau'r byd uwchben yr hyn yr oedd ennyn a chamera yn gallu ei ddarllen.En: The afternoon had left them with open doors to adventures beyond what recollection and a camera could capture.Cy: Roedd gan Ysgol Haf archiadue nesaf yn barod.En: Ysgol Haf had the next inquiry in readiness.Cy: Ysbrydoledig ac wedi'u golchi gan yr haul, canfododd y ddau unigrwydd yn ddifyrdeb, a chwilio am yr hyn oedd gynt.En: Inspired and sun-washed, the two found solitude in delight and searched for what once was.Cy: Roedd barddoniaeth real o lenyddiaeth a dychymyg wedi troi'n realiti am dro.En: The real poetry of literature and imagination had turned into reality for a moment.Cy: Roedd bondigrybwyll y cyfarwyddebu hwn, a phosibiliadau'r dyfodol yn creu gwên barhaus ar wynebau'r ddau.En: There was a mention of this direction, and the possibilities of the future created a constant smile on both of their faces.

more:fluentfiction.com/cy/episode/2026-06-21-07-38-20-cy Story Transcript:Cy: Wrth i'r haul setlo dros orielau godidog Amgueddfa Genedlaethol Caerdydd, roedd gwaith carwriaeth y tair cymeriad mewn tŷ ysbryd o ysbrydoliaeth newydd a chynhysgaeth gynhanesyddol yn hollgofodol.En: As the sun set over the magnificent galleries of Amgueddfa Genedlaethol Caerdydd, the work of courtship among the three characters in a house of spiritual inspiration and prehistoric heritage was all-encompassing.Cy: Roedd Ioan, curadur brwd gyda pharch mawr at hanes Cymru, yn sefyll yn y canol.En: Ioan, an enthusiastic curator with great respect for the history of Wales, stood in the middle.Cy: Roedd ei olwg yn brathu â brwdfrydedd wrth i ef ddod a chontractwrion i osod taflunyddion modern efo y cerfluniau hynafol o gerrig.En: His gaze was filled with enthusiasm as he brought in contractors to install modern projectors alongside the ancient stone sculptures.Cy: Roedd Ioan yn edrych ymlaen at Sostis yr Haf, cyfle i uno'r hen a'r newydd trwy ddefnyddio technoleg i ddod â'r arteffactau hyn yn fyw.En: Ioan was looking forward to the Summer Solstice, an opportunity to unite the old and the new by using technology to bring these artifacts to life.Cy: Yn agos ato, Carys, intern mwyn ei natur, yn gwylio pob symudiad gyda llygad dysgu.En: Close to him was Carys, a naturally pleasant intern, watching every movement with a learning eye.Cy: Roedd hi'n amser dysgu am dreftadaeth ei gwlad, a chreu cysylltiadau modern gyda'r gorffennol.En: It was time for her to learn about her country's heritage and to create modern connections with the past.Cy: Ar y llaw arall, roedd Emyr, y hanesydd profiadol, yn sefyll yn gefn y neuadd.En: On the other hand, Emyr, the experienced historian, stood at the back of the hall.Cy: Roedd ei lygaid hallt yn ystyried y cyfleusterau newydd gyda amheuaeth.En: His critical eyes surveyed the new facilities with skepticism.Cy: "Rhaid yw cadw stori yr hen fel y bu," meddai, ei lais yn llenwi'r gofod rhwng cariad i'r hen a'r newydd.En: "The story of the past must be preserved as it was," he said, his voice filling the space between a love for the old and the new.Cy: Roedd ei farn yn glir: yr hanes ydy'r hanes.En: His opinion was clear: history is history.Cy: Dechreuodd tirwedd y oriel ddisgleirio wrth i Ioan benderfynu troi ar y taflunyddion i greu argraff flaenllaw.En: The landscape of the gallery began to shine as Ioan decided to turn on the projectors to make a prominent impression.Cy: Roedd Carys, â'i gwybod bod rhywbeth mwy yn y dyfodol, a helpu.En: Carys, knowing there was something more in the future, helped.Cy: Ond, chefai hi'n anodd beth oedd y ffordd orau i ateb y sefyllfa, ei deimladau'n gwrthdaro â'r amgythiad rhwng Ioan ac Emyr.En: Yet, she found it difficult to decide the best way to respond to the situation, her feelings clashing with the tension between Ioan and Emyr.Cy: Wrth i noswyl yr arddangosfa agosáu, roedd yr adnewyddu wedi cyffroi, ond roedd cyffro fel mwg ysu tân yn cael ei dorri gan fethiant technegol annisgwyl – fe ddisgleiriodd deallusion Ioan gyda llawn golchiadau myrdd o fewn eiliad.En: As the evening of the exhibition approached, the renovation had excited, but excitement was like the smoke of a burning fire cut short by an unexpected technical failure—Ioan's insights flashed with a myriad of washes in a second.Cy: Fe ddaeth tensiwn i'r brig, wrth i Ioan a Emyr wynebu eu pryderon, diolch i glic llawn tensiwn.En: Tension reached its peak, as Ioan and Emyr faced their concerns, thanks to a moment full of tension.Cy: Ac felly, fe benderfynodd Emyr serennu, gan godi ei lais yn y cyfuniad – fe'r addasodd ei wybodaeth ddofn am y cariwisiaeth i bortreadu naratifau hiliog y gwaith cof mewn ffordd a oedd yn addysg na'r elfenau'r ychwanegu.En: And so, Emyr decided to shine, raising his voice in combination—he adapted his deep knowledge of the exhibition to portray racially charged narratives in a way that educated beyond the added elements.Cy: Tystrodd Carys, a dysgodd hi roedd y syniadau gorau'n digwydd trwy weithio gyda'i gilydd.En: Carys witnessed, and she learned that the best ideas happen through collaboration.Cy: Nid oedd rhaid iddi dewis – roedd y dulliau traddodiadol a'r rhai newydd yn gallu cydblethu i weithio gyda'i gilydd.En: She did not have to choose—the traditional methods and the new ones could intertwine to work together.Cy: Ar ddiwedd y noson, ymddangosodd y arteffactau, efo naratif haniaethol newydd wedi'i gynnwys.En: At the end of the night, the artifacts appeared with a new abstract narrative included.Cy: Roedd Ioan, eisoes cyfoethog gyda gwybodaeth newydd am sut i gyfuno technoleg â traddodiadau, yn cytuno.En: Ioan, already enriched with new knowledge on how to combine technology with traditions, agreed.Cy: Emyr, iddo y duedd tuag at y heddiw wedi dod i welw yn ei feddwl, yn llyncu cu pledio â'i wên yn naturiol.En: Emyr, whose tendency towards the present had faded in his mind, swallowed his plea with a natural smile.Cy: Fe ddarganfyddodd y tri bod hanes yn fyw gyda meddyliau traddodiadol yn cael marc arbennig – yn ymestyn rhwng y gorffennol a'r presennol.En: The three discovered that history is alive with traditional thoughts having a special mark—extending between the past and the present.Cy: Roedd Carys, nawdd o'r ddau, bellach yn teimlo ei llais yn ei dyfeisiau.En: Carys, supported by both, now felt her voice in her inventions.Cy: Gallai pawb weld bod stori pobl Cymru yn byw trwy fyw, llawn olygfeydd, llawn o lleisiau, loywyddi a chanafannau.En: Everyone could see that the story of the Welsh people lived through vibrant, eventful scenes, full of voices, soliloquies, and choruses.Cy: Roedd yr hen ysbrydion yn dal i sibrwd eu straeon wrth iddynt barhau i ganu glŵy.En: The old spirits still whispered their tales as they continued to sing praise.

lle'r oedd pobl yn castio eu pleidleisiau.En: In the small town of Llanddewi, Eira was about to reach the village hall where people were casting their votes.Cy: Roedd yr adeilad, gyda'i do llechi a'i furiau carreg, wedi'i guddio yng nghanol y bryniau, fel petai'n disgwyl croesawu pobl o bob cyfeiriad.En: The building, with its slate roof and stone walls, was hidden in the middle of the hills, as if expecting to welcome people from every direction.Cy: Roedd Eira yn benderfynol o wneud ei marc heddiw.En: Eira was determined to make her mark today.Cy: Wedi bod yn byw y tu allan i ddref ers blynyddoedd, roedd hi wedi dychwelyd i gymryd rhan yn yr etholiadau lleol.En: Having lived outside town for years, she had returned to participate in the local elections.Cy: Roedd hi am wneud newid.En: She wanted to make a change.Cy: Wrth gerdded tuag at y neuadd, ymddangosodd Carys, hen ffrind plentyndod, gydag awyrgylch fympwyol.En: As she walked towards the hall, Carys, an old childhood friend, appeared with a whimsical air.Cy: "Eira, pwy fyddai'n meddwl ein bod ni'n dod yn ôl i bleidleisio?En: "Eira, who would have thought we would come back to vote?"Cy: " meddai Carys, yn

replied Eira quietly but resolutely.Cy: Yn sydyn, daeth Gareth, brawd Eira, wrth ochr iddynt.En: Suddenly, Gareth, Eira's brother, came alongside them.Cy: "Pam trafferthu, Eira?En: "Why bother,

care," she spoke with a new energy full of excitement.Cy: Roedd barcud onest yn eiing siarad ar ran pawb.En: A genuine passion fueled her words, speaking on behalf of everyone.Cy: Yna, wrth iddi siarad, gan gyfleu ei chredu yn nerth pleidlais, crwydrodd sŵn ei geiriau drwy'r neuadd, gan herio barnau aiddi.En: Then, as she spoke, conveying her belief in the power of the vote, the sound of her words wandered through the hall, challenging idle opinions.Cy: Bryd hynny, roedd nifer o bobl yn gwrando ac yn edrych tuag ei thraws.En: At that moment, many people were listening and looking towards

her victory.Cy: Roedd Gareth yn agor ei ddwylo’n geiniog ac ymuno â'r ciw gyda braidd o anhapusrwydd, ond yn codi gib i efallai rhoi ei bleidlais yn diweddar iddi.En: Gareth opened his hands in surrender and joined the queue with a hint of unwillingness, yet raised his eyebrows to perhaps give his vote in the end.Cy: Cauodd yr oriau pleidleisio yn araf gyda niwlogiaeth dychiadau, ond serch hynny, ni lwyddodd neb ddwyn cafodd Eira.En: The voting hours closed slowly with the fog of anticipation, but nevertheless, no one could steal what Eira had gained.Cy: Neuadd bentref o gymeriad, gyda'i gweld nodweddiadol, tan i asgell i'r gorau.En: A village hall of character, with its distinct view, underlined the best outcome.Cy: Gadawodd Eira, gyda'r cysur yn ei stad, gan wybod mai drwy rannu ei profiad, roedd hi wedi cyrraedd yr ymer sy'n teithio ni allan.En: Eira left, with comfort in her state, knowing that by sharing her experience, she had reached the spirit that travels within us.Cy: Ac felly, yn y goleuni'r haul hafol, doedd rhagor her yn caniatau colli cyfle i'w lleisiau gael eu clywed.En: And so, in the light of the summer sun, no more challenges allowed the opportunity to have her voice heard to be lost.Cy: Roedd hi wedi cyrraedd, gwnaeth ei marc, ac efallai, mewn bryd, gwneud newid - o leiaf mewn un person ifanc arall.En: She had arrived, made her mark, and perhaps, in due course, made a change—at least in one other young person.
