Story Transcript:

Cy: Ar ganol barcud arian y bore, roedd Swansea yn trochi mewn lliwiau’r hydref.
En: In the middle of the silvery kite of the morning, Swansea was immersed in the colors of autumn.

Cy: Gwnaeth y coed yn y stryd daflu eu dail coch, melyn ac aur i lawr fel blanced lliwgar ar y llawr.
En: The trees on the street shed their red, yellow, and gold leaves down like a colorful blanket on the ground.

Cy: Roedd Gwyn a Seren yn cerdded, eu hymennydd yn llawn meddyliau a brwsias am bresennol.
En: Gwyn and Seren were walking, their minds full of thoughts and brushes with the present.

Cy: Roeddent ym 5 Cwmdonkin Drive, y plasty lle cafodd Dylan Thomas ei eni.
En: They were at 5 Cwmdonkin Drive, the mansion where Dylan Thomas was born.

Cy: Roedd y lle’n ffynhonnell o ysbyrdoliaeth gyfoethog i Gwyn.
En: The place was a rich source of inspiration for Gwyn.

Cy: Roedd Gwyn mewn pennod o ddrwgdybiaeth.
En: Gwyn was in a chapter of suspicion.

Cy: Roedd bob amser yn ystyriol, yn gobeithio rhoi anrheg arbennig i Seren, anrheg a fyddai'n dwyn ei edmygedd am ei ffrind agosaf.
En: He was always considerate, hoping to give a special gift to Seren, a gift that would earn her admiration for her closest friend.

Cy: Ond sylweddolodd pa mor anodd oedd hynny.
En: But he realized how difficult that was.

Cy: Roedd Seren yn berson penderfynol.
En: Seren was a determined person.

Cy: Roedd gwrthgyferchiad rhwng ei pharodrwydd i ddewis a’r teimlad nad oedd byth yn gallu cyfleu ei dymuniadau’n llwyr.
En: There was a contradiction between her readiness to choose and the feeling that she could never fully convey her wishes.

Cy: Wrth fynd drwy siopau, cymerodd Gwyn i asesu dwylo’r orielau llyfrau, ei ochenaid yn ddwfn.
En: While going through the shops, Gwyn took to assessing the book gallery shelves, his sigh deep.

Cy: "Seren," meddai, "Alla i ddim dewis y peth iawn.
En: "Seren," he said, "I can't choose the right thing.

Cy: Mae gen i’r teimlad hwnnw dros y gorau ydych chi.
En: I have that feeling over the best you are."

Cy: "Chwarddodd Seren yn dawel.
En: Seren laughed quietly.

Cy: "Gwyn," meddai hi, "nid yw hynny’n cynhesu fy nghalon imi.
En: "Gwyn," she said, "that doesn’t warm my heart.

Cy: Dwi'n gwerthfawrogi eich ymdrech.
En: I appreciate your effort."

Cy: "Wrth i'r awr fynd heibio, yn sydyn, disgynnodd llyfr bahol trwm ar lawr Gwyn.
En: As the hour passed, suddenly a heavy bound book fell at Gwyn's feet.

Cy: Cododd ef, ei galon yn ysgafnach.
En: He picked it up, his heart lighter.

Cy: Roedd yn llyfr o farddoniaeth gan Dylan Thomas.
En: It was a book of poetry by Dylan Thomas.

Cy: Buodd y bardd hyn yn denu’i feddwl, gwneuthur troad sydyn wrth bendro syniadau am Seren.
En: The poet had captivated his mind, making a sudden turn while pondering ideas about Seren.

Cy: Efallai mai yma oedd y perffaith, meddai wrtho'i hun.
En: Perhaps this was the perfect, he thought to himself.

Cy: Wrth i'r haul ddiflannu tu ôl i niwl a godrodd o Fae Abertawe, cyrhaeddodd Gwyn gyda phwyll gweddus, Seren wrth ei ochr.
En: As the sun disappeared behind mist rising from Swansea Bay, Gwyn arrived with appropriate discretion, Seren by his side.

Cy: Wrth i’r coed chwifio’n rhamantus yn wynt awyreddus, estynnodd Gwyn y llyfr.
En: As the trees swayed...
