Story Transcript:

Cy: Yn ystyr yr haul, roedd yr Amgueddfa Genedlaethol yng Nghaerdydd yn llawn o fywyd a lliw.
En: In the sunlight, the Amgueddfa Genedlaethol in Caerdydd was full of life and color.

Cy: Yn ystod diwedd y gwanwyn, cerddodd Gwyneth drwy'r coridorau uchel, ei llygad yn gorffwys ar bob portread a thirlun hardd.
En: During the end of spring, Gwyneth walked through the high corridors, her eyes resting on every portrait and beautiful landscape.

Cy: Roedd hon yn fwy na gweithio iddo - roedd yn angerdd a ffynhonnell ysbrydoliaeth.
En: This was more than work for her - it was a passion and a source of inspiration.

Cy: Ond, yn ei chalon, roedd Gwyneth yn gofidio am hen boenau o gariad.
En: But, in her heart, Gwyneth was troubled by old pains of love.

Cy: Ychydig yn ôl, ger y ddelwedd arbennig honno o "Y Coppyn Goch," safodd Rhys.
En: Some time back, near that particular image of "Y Coppyn Goch," stood Rhys.

Cy: Roedd am gael gafael ar ei wreiddioldeb ei hun.
En: He wanted to get a grasp of his own originality.

Cy: Roedd ei arddull yn dal heb siâp.
En: His style was still without shape.

Cy: Ei ffordd i ddod o hyd i rhywbeth unigryw oedd yn poeni.
En: His way to find something unique worried him.

Cy: Wrth gamu ymlaen, gwelodd Gwyneth rywun yn sefyll o flaen y llun annwyl, ei lygaid yn goleuo mymryn wrth iddo wyro'n agosach.
En: As she stepped forward, Gwyneth saw someone standing in front of the lovely painting, his eyes lighting up slightly as he leaned closer.

Cy: Roedd yn Rhys.
En: It was Rhys.

Cy: Daeth Carys, eu ffrind cyffredin, i ymuno â nhw.
En: Carys, their mutual friend, came to join them.

Cy: “Gwyneth, mae hwn yw Rhys,” meddyliodd Carys gydag ymadroddion cyfeillgar.
En: “Gwyneth, this is Rhys,” Carys thought with friendly expressions.

Cy: “Mae'n arlunydd o Gaerdydd.”
En: “He’s an artist from Caerdydd.”

Cy: Ar ôl cyflwyniad byr, a symudodd Carys ymlaen i adolygu'r cerfluniau agos.
En: After a brief introduction, Carys moved on to review the nearby sculptures.

Cy: Gadawyd Gwyneth a Rhys i siarad.
En: Gwyneth and Rhys were left to talk.

Cy: Gan dechrau siarad am y ddelwedd o flaen nhw, rhoddodd Gwyneth i Rhys wers ar hanes y gwaith.
En: Beginning to speak about the image before them, Gwyneth gave Rhys a lesson on the history of the work.

Cy: Pob lliw a chysgod oedd fel stori.
En: Every color and shadow was like a story.

Cy: Yn anfodlon, penderfynodd Gwyneth agor hyd fyny.
En: Reluctantly, Gwyneth decided to open up.

Cy: Siaradodd Rhys am ei waith i Gwyneth, gan ddal i deimlo ansicr.
En: Rhys spoke about his work to Gwyneth, still feeling uncertain.

Cy: Roedd yn cyflwyno ei luniadau mwyaf diweddar, a oedd heb eu cwblhau.
En: He presented his most recent sketches, which were unfinished.

Cy: Nid oedd yn siŵr os oeddent gwerth sylw.
En: He wasn't sure if they were worth attention.

Cy: Ond roedd Gwyneth yn edrych arnynt gydag edmygedd, canfod lliwiau yn symud fel tonnau.
En: But Gwyneth looked at them with admiration, seeing colors moving like waves.

Cy: “Mae gennych chi’r enaid arlunydd,” meddai'n dawel.
En: “You have the soul of an artist,” she said quietly.

Cy: Trafodasant am oriau, llif o geiriau a meddyliau.
En: They discussed for hours, a flow of words and thoughts.

Cy: O...
