Story Transcript:

Cy: Gareth eisteddodd ar ben coeden.
En: Gareth sat at the top of a tree.

Cy: Roedd llynedd yn gynnes islaw y Cwm Afalau.
En: Last year was warm below y Cwm Afalau (the Apple Valley).

Cy: Roedd gan Gareth syniad arbennig.
En: Gareth had a special idea.

Cy: Roedd yn bwriadu gwneud parti pen-blwydd syrpreis i Eleri, ei gariad.
En: He was planning to throw a surprise birthday party for Eleri, his girlfriend.

Cy: Roedd y Gweithdy Seidr Cudd yn y lleoliad mwyaf perffaith.
En: Y Gweithdy Seidr Cudd (the Hidden Cider Workshop) was the most perfect location.

Cy: Roedd yr adeilad wedi’i wneud o bren hen gyda thafodau o olau lampau yn hongian yn ei lofft.
En: The building was made of old wood with tongues of light from lamps hanging in its loft.

Cy: Eleri oedd ei enaid hoff.
En: Eleri was his favorite soul.

Cy: Hoff iawn o anturiaethau.
En: Very fond of adventures.

Cy: Roedd hi’n cyffroi pethau, ac weithiau, roedd yn well ganddi heb feddwl llawer.
En: She liked to stir things up, and sometimes, she preferred not to think much.

Cy: Ond roedd Gareth eisiau rhywbeth arbennig iawn.
En: But Gareth wanted something very special.

Cy: Roedd yn rhaid iddo wneud cynllun perffaith.
En: He needed to make a perfect plan.

Cy: Roedd Dafydd, cwrs da o hwyl a storiâu, yn gyfrifol am ddiddanu’r gwesteion.
En: Dafydd, a good course of fun and stories, was responsible for entertaining the guests.

Cy: Roedd yn edrych ymlaen at gael cynnig ei helpu.
En: He was looking forward to offering his help.

Cy: Ond roedd problem mawr.
En: But there was a big problem.

Cy: Roedd y tywydd yn ddryslyd.
En: The weather was confusing.

Cy: Glaw roedd tywydd y gwanwyn yn aml iawn.
En: Rain was quite common in the spring weather.

Cy: "Gareth," meddai Dafydd, "Gad iddo fynd i mewn.
En: "Gareth," said Dafydd, "Let it go inside.

Cy: Mae’n rhaid i ni ddefnyddio’r adeilad.
En: We have to use the building."

Cy: "Gwnaeth Gareth benderfyniad anodd.
En: Gareth made a difficult decision.

Cy: Byddai’r timpl yn symud tu mewn.
En: The tent would move indoors.

Cy: Roedd y cynllun wedi newid, ond roedd yn dal i fod yn agos at ei galon.
En: The plan had changed, but it was still close to his heart.

Cy: Gyda chefnogaeth Dafydd, gosodwyd y deithiau newydd ymysg y lampau cynnes.
En: With Dafydd's support, the new arrangements were set among the warm lamps.

Cy: Roedd Eleri yn cerdded i mewn.
En: Eleri walked in.

Cy: Yna, popeth yn troi’n syfrdanol.
En: Then, everything turned astonishing.

Cy: Roedd y golau'n pefrio drwy bolion pren y gweithdy, yn taflu cysgodion cynnes i bennau'r westeion.
En: The light sparkled through the wooden poles of the workshop, casting warm shadows on the guests' heads.

Cy: Wrth edrych o gwmpas, deallodd Eleri beth oedd wedi digwydd.
En: Looking around, Eleri understood what had happened.

Cy: "Dyma syrpreis!
En: "This is a surprise!"

Cy: " meddai, yn gwenu'n sgleiniog.
En: she said, smiling brightly.

Cy: Roedd hi'n gyffrous ac yn llawen.
En: She was excited and happy.

Cy: Edrychodd Gareth yn ôl, gan sylwi bod yr amgylchedd annisgwyl hwn wedi dod yn drefn newydd.
En: Gareth looked back, realizing that this unexpected environment had become a new order.

Cy: Dysgodd nad oes angen cynllun perffaith bob amser.
En: He learned that a perfect plan is not always necessary.

Cy: Ac felly, gwnaed cofnod arbennig yn y Gweithdy Seidr Cudd, a daeth mis Medi yn wledd i'w gofio.
En: And so, a special memory was made in y Gweithdy Seidr Cudd, and September became a celebration to remember.

Cy: Roedd y byrcsyn yn llawn cariad a'r gwesteion, lawen a bodlon.
En: The barn was full of love and the guests, cheerful and content.
