Story Transcript:

Cy: Wrth i'r haul codi uwchben Pont Menai, roedd y Farchnad Riff Côral yn fyw gydag egni lliwgar a sŵn hapus pobl yn siarad a beirniadu.
En: As the sun rose over Pont Menai, the Farchnad Riff Côral was alive with colorful energy and the happy sounds of people talking and bargaining.

Cy: Clywid arogl persawr ffrwythau ffres a blodau newydd yn llenwi'r awyr.
En: The scent of fresh fruit and new flowers filled the air.

Cy: Roedd Gŵyl Calan Mai yn agos, ac roedd pawb yn prysur baratoi ar gyfer y gwyliau.
En: Gŵyl Calan Mai was approaching, and everyone was busy preparing for the festivities.

Cy: Gareth oedd yn mynd drwy'r farchnad, ei galon yn curo'n gyflym.
En: Gareth was making his way through the market, his heart beating quickly.

Cy: Roedd y Maes Gwanwyn yn agos, a chyda hynny, picnic pwysig a drefnodd.
En: The Maes Gwanwyn was near, along with an important picnic he had planned.

Cy: Roedd neidio i'w draed i ddod o hyd i'r cynhwysion perffaith yn cael ei gwneud yn fwy cymhleth gan fod y farchnad yn orlawn gyda phobl fel ef.
En: Jumping to find the perfect ingredients was becoming more complicated as the market was crowded with people like him.

Cy: Roedd golygfa Ceri, gyda'i gwên gynnes a'i chwerthin hawdd, yn cadw'i symud ymlaen.
En: The sight of Ceri, with her warm smile and easy laughter, kept him moving forward.

Cy: Roedd ganddo gariad dirgel at Ceri, ac roedd angen i'r picnic fod yn berffaith.
En: He had a secret affection for Ceri, and the picnic needed to be perfect.

Cy: Ond, wrth edrych o amgylch y farchnad, sylweddolodd fod llawer o rai oedd o'r eitemau pwysicaf wedi gwerthu allan eisoes.
En: But, as he looked around the market, he realized that many of the crucial items had already sold out.

Cy: Roedd y siopwyr yn brysur gyda chwsmeriaid eraill.
En: The shopkeepers were busy with other customers.

Cy: Ar y pwynt hwn, penderfynodd Gareth gyfeirio at Rhys, ffrind da sy'n gweithio mewn un o'r stondinau.
En: At this point, Gareth decided to turn to Rhys, a good friend who worked at one of the stalls.

Cy: Roedd Rhys yn gwybod pob cwr cysurus o'r farchnad ac yn aml yn gallu cael hyd i'r cynhwysion gorau ledled y lle.
En: Rhys knew every cozy corner of the market and could often find the best ingredients throughout the place.

Cy: "Rhys!" gwaeddodd Gareth, yn ceisio denu'i sylw drwy dorf o bobl brysur.
En: "Rhys!" shouted Gareth, trying to catch his attention through the busy crowd.

Cy: Dyna pryd y cerddodd Rhys at Gareth, gwên fawr ar ei wyneb.
En: That's when Rhys walked over to Gareth, a big smile on his face.

Cy: "Beth sydd gen ti, Gareth?" gofynnodd yn gyfeillgar.
En: "What have you got, Gareth?" he asked amicably.

Cy: "Rwy'n chwilio am ffrwythau ffres, orysgi a rhai sudd i'r picnic," atebodd Gareth, yn edrych yn ochelgar tuag at y dorf.
En: "I'm looking for fresh fruit, pastries, and some juice for the picnic," replied Gareth, glancing cautiously toward the crowd.

Cy: Heb oedi, awgrymodd Rhys ychydig o stondinau llai adnabyddus.
En: Without hesitation, Rhys suggested a few lesser-known stalls.

Cy: “Mae cwpwl o ffrwythau gwyllt yn y cornel draw sydd â'r mefus mwyaf ffres,” meddai Rhys, gan roi gwybod am syrpreis bach ar gyfer Ceri.
En: “There are some wild fruits in the far corner with the freshest strawberries,” said Rhys, hinting at a little surprise for Ceri.
