Story Transcript:

Cy: Yn y noson gynnar, roedd awyr y gwanwyn yn llanw’r Ardd Fotaneg Gymreig ag arogl melys blodau yn agor fel ymladd o liwiau.
En: In the early evening, the spring air filled the Ardd Fotaneg Gymreig with the sweet aroma of flowers opening like a battle of colors.

Cy: Roedd dathliad Dydd y Ddaear mewn llawn swing.
En: The Earth Day celebration was in full swing.

Cy: Roedd pobl o bob oed yn crwydro rhwng yr arddangosfeydd a'r stondinau.
En: People of all ages wandered between the exhibits and stalls.

Cy: Yn eu plith roedd Rhian, dynes gyda glainau gwyrdd yn ei llygaid a gwallt tywyll cyrliog.
En: Among them was Rhian, a woman with green beads in her eyes and dark curly hair.

Cy: Roedd hi'n gweini fel gwirfoddolwraig, ei galon mor llawn â'r awyrgylch o angerdd am yr amgylchedd.
En: She was serving as a volunteer, her heart as full as the atmosphere with passion for the environment.

Cy: Roedd Rhian, er gwaethaf ei chefnadgarwch, yn fwy hyderus o guddio tu mewn calon ei hun.
En: Despite Rhian's dedication, she was more confident hiding within her own heart.

Cy: Roedd hi wedi brifo yn y gorffennol a nawr roedd ofn iddi agor eto.
En: She had been hurt in the past and now feared opening up again.

Cy: Roedd Dafydd, ei chydweithiwr didwyll, yn ei hannog i fod yn fwy agored.
En: Dafydd, her sincere colleague, encouraged her to be more open.

Cy: "Mae llawer o bobl yma ar dy donfedd di, Rhian.
En: "There are many people here on your wavelength, Rhian.

Cy: Paid bod ofnus," meddai'n garedig, wrth edrych tua'r tyrfa.
En: Don't be afraid," he said kindly, looking toward the crowd.

Cy: Eisteddodd Rhian ger y pwll dŵr, fel pe byddai'r dŵr tawel yn cysuro ei henaid.
En: Rhian sat by the water pool, as if the calm water was soothing her soul.

Cy: Ac yna, cerddodd ferch o'r enw Eira rownd gongl, ei gwallt llif i lawr fel dŵr rhewlif.
En: And then, a girl named Eira walked around the corner, her hair flowing down like glacial water.

Cy: Roedd gan Eira ddiddordeb mawr mewn ymarferion cynaliadwy, eu hysbrydoliaeth ar y blaen, ond roedd er hynny, ofni rhoi ffydd yn rhywun newydd.
En: Eira had a great interest in sustainable practices, with her inspiration at the forefront, yet she was still fearful of placing trust in someone new.

Cy: Dechreuodd Rhian ac Eira siarad, y ffurfafen uwch eu pennau yn lask, wrth iddynt drydar am bynciau ecolegol a'r planhigion sydd amgylcho'r ardd.
En: Rhian and Eira began to talk, the sky above them pale blue, as they chatted about ecological topics and the plants surrounding the garden.

Cy: Dechreuodd Rhian deimlo rhywbeth fel cynhesrwydd, ond roedd amgau yn dal yn dalentus.
En: Rhian began to feel something like warmth, but she was still skillful at enclosing.

Cy: Wrth i'r prynhawn fynd yn ei blaen, dechreuodd gweithdy newydd ar arddio cynaliadwy.
En: As the afternoon progressed, a new workshop on sustainable gardening began.

Cy: Roedd Rhian wrth y gorau gyda hyn.
En: Rhian was at her best with this.

Cy: Roedd hi'n sôn am ei chynnig cyntaf i blannu gardd gymunedol yn y gymuned, sut y trodd y gwargoed lleol yn gymuned gydweithredol.
En: She spoke about her first initiative to plant a community garden in the neighborhood, how the local waste ground turned into a cooperative community.

Cy: Gwelodd Eira y sbarc yn llygad Rhian.
En: Eira saw the spark in Rhian's eye.

Cy: Yr oedd yn synhwyrydd moment gwirioneddol.
En: It was a moment of genuine recognition.

Cy: Ar ôl y gweithdy, dechreuodd Eira bŵerio i Rhian gyda llawenydd.
En: After the workshop, Eira beamed at Rhian with joy.

Cy: "Dy stori di oedd yr un sydd wedi cyffwrdd â fi," meddai Eira yn ddedwydd.
En: "Your story was the one that touched me," said Eira happily.

Cy: Rhannuodd Eira ei hofn o ymddiriedaeth, a sut y mae'r plannu wedi'i galluogi i deimlo’n gysylltiol.
En: Eira shared her fear of trust, and how planting had allowed her to feel connected.

Cy: Roedd Rhian yn synnu, ond hefyd yn addfwyn wrth glywed yr eiriau gonestrwydd.
En: Rhian was surprised, but also gently moved by hearing the honest words.

Cy: Fe wnaeth i Rhian hefyd dderbyn ei bod hi'n dial, ei bod hi'n fwy na’r ofnau a oedd yn ei rhwystro.
En: It made Rhian also acknowledge that she was more than the fears that were holding her back.

Cy: Yn y diwedd, roedd Rhian ac Eira'n cael sgwrs am eu dyheadau a'u hofnau, gan fynd tuag at bont o ddealltwriaeth.
En: In the end, Rhian and Eira had a conversation about their aspirations and fears, moving toward a bridge of understanding.

Cy: Roeddant yn cydnabod rhyngddynt bod cysylltiad yn bosib, gydag amser, gydag agoradau.
En: They both recognized that a connection was possible, with time, with openness.

Cy: A daeth Rhian i ddeall, y gall agor ei hun yn arwain at greadigaeth newydd, hyd yn oed er mae hynny'n gofyn dewrder.
En: And Rhian came to understand that opening herself up could lead to new creation, even though it requires courage.

Cy: Wrth iddynt fynd allan o'r ardd gyda'r haul yn mynd i lawr, addawodd y ddau ohonyn nhw y bydden nhw'n parhau i gwrdd a thyfu, nid yn unig planhigion ond hefyd bond.
En: As they left the garden with the sun going down, they both promised to continue meeting and growing, not only plants but also their bond.

Cy: Roedd yr ardd bellach fwy dim ond gardd – daeth yn lle o haelioni a phosibiliadau ar gyfer Rhian ac Eira.
En: The garden became more than just a garden—it became a place of generosity and possibilities for Rhian and Eira.

Cy: Roedd yr achlysur yn dangos bod cariad, fel natur, yn gallu blodeuo unrhyw bryd, ym mhob tymor.
En: The occasion showed that love, like nature, can bloom at any time, in any season.
