Story Transcript:

Cy: Eira sefyll yn glos at ffenestr y siop fach yn y mynyddoedd Cymreig.
En: Eira stood close to the window of the small shop in the Cymreig mountains.

Cy: Gwenu, mae hi'n dal ei ffôn gyda'i llaw dde, mewn gobaith i glywed llais anwyl ei phartner.
En: Smiling, she held her phone with her right hand, hoping to hear the beloved voice of her partner.

Cy: Byrddau a silffoedd yn llawn daioni lleol oedd o'i hamgylch, ac ysbryd gwyliau Gŵyl Padrig yn llenwi'r awyr.
En: Around her, tables and shelves were full of local goodness, and the holiday spirit of St. Padrig’s Festival filled the air.

Cy: "Ti’n gweld," meddai Eira, yn symud y camera o amgylch y siop.
En: "You see," said Eira, moving the camera around the shop.

Cy: "Dyma'r bara ciabatta rwyt ti'n hoffi."
En: "Here's the ciabatta bread you like."

Cy: Roedd ei phartner ar ben arall y blaned, ond roedd hi'n benderfynol o wneud i'r siop fwyd deimlo'n fel diwrnod llawn hwyl gyda'i gilydd.
En: Her partner was on the other side of the world, but she was determined to make the grocery shopping feel like a fun-filled day together.

Cy: Roedd symudiad cynnar y gwanwyn i’w gweld, gyda blodau'n dechrau torri drwodd i'r goleuni.
En: Early spring movement was visible, with flowers starting to break through into the light.

Cy: Roedd hiraeth yn llenwi ei chalon, ond cysur oedd cael gwylio ei phartner yn gwên a sgwrsio dros y sgrin.
En: Longing filled her heart, but there was comfort in watching her partner grin and chat over the screen.

Cy: Yna, diflannodd y cysylltiad.
En: Then, the connection disappeared.

Cy: "O, dim byd newydd," meddai Eira wrth y siopwr wrth fynd tu allan i chwilio am signal gwell.
En: "Oh, nothing new," said Eira to the shopkeeper as she went outside to search for a better signal.

Cy: Cerddodd tua'r bryniau, gobeithio am well signal.
En: She walked towards the hills, hoping for a better signal.

Cy: Roedd yr awel oer yn curo ar ei hwyneb wrth iddi sefyll mewn man agored.
En: The cold breeze beat against her face as she stood in an open spot.

Cy: Yn sydyn, daeth y llais yn ôl, braidd yn glaear, "Eira?"
En: Suddenly, the voice returned, slightly crackling, "Eira?"

Cy: "Ydw, rydw i yma!" gwaeddodd hi gyda'i galon yn ysgafnach.
En: "Yes, I’m here!" she shouted, her heart lighter.

Cy: Dyma'r eiliadau bach oedd yn golygu'r byd iddi.
En: These were the small moments that meant the world to her.

Cy: Daliodd y ffôn uwch ei phen, er mwyn cael yr ymddiddan gorau.
En: She held the phone above her head to get the best conversation.

Cy: "Ti'n gwybod beth? Pan fydda i'n gweld y mynyddoedd yma, dw i'n teimlo fel fy mod i'n agosach atat ti," meddai ei phartner.
En: "You know what? When I see these mountains, I feel like I'm closer to you," her partner said.

Cy: Treuliwyd y funud nesaf yn dweud helo a ffarwel, cyn i gysylltiad y ffôn golli eto.
En: The next minute was spent exchanging hellos and goodbyes, before the phone connection dropped again.

Cy: Ond Eira nawr yn teimlo ymlaen ymlaen llaw.
En: But Eira now felt ahead of time.

Cy: Roedd hi'n deall faint oedd bob eiliad bach o gysylltiad yn werth.
En: She understood how much was every little moment of connection worth.

Cy: Gorffennodd Eira siopa.
En: Eira finished her shopping.

Cy: Roedd ei basged yn llawn o gynnyrch Cymreig, ac yn ei chalon roedd hi'n llawn o obaith newydd.
En: Her basket full of Welsh produce, and in her heart, she was full of renewed hope.

Cy: Roedd hi'n gwybod y byddai amser pan fyddai hi a'i phartner yn rhannu'r taith hon go iawn.
En: She knew there would be a time when she and her partner would share this journey for real.

Cy: Daeth y gwanwyn i'r mynyddoedd, ac ynghyd â hynny, newydd feddylfryd i Eira.
En: Spring came to the mountains, and along with it, a new mindset for Eira.

Cy: Roedd hi bob amser yn gweld ffordd ymlaen, hyd yn oed drwy'r diffygion technegol.
En: She always saw a way forward, even through the technical glitches.

Cy: Roedd yr hyn roedd hi'n chwilio amdano'n aml ar gael yn eiliadau bach.
En: What she was often looking for was found in small moments.

Cy: Roedd y mynyddoedd nid yn unig yn ei herio, ond hefyd yn ei chysuro.
En: The mountains not only challenged her but also comforted her.
