Story Transcript:
Cy: Roedd y bore yn ddigalon, ond roedd yr haul yn codi yn araf dros Ynys Skomer.
En: The morning was dreary, but the sun was slowly rising over Ynys Skomer.
Cy: Roedd gwenyn yn paffian dros y gweiriau, a'r môr yn sibrwd geiriau heddychlon wrth iddo ddifa'r arfordir.
En: Bees buzzed over the grasses, and the sea whispered peaceful words as it lapped at the shore.
Cy: Gareth a Carys oedd yn sefyll ar lan yr ynys, yn aros am y cychod bach i'w cludo i lawr y rhaffog yn Skomer.
En: Gareth and Carys stood on the island's edge, waiting for the small boats to take them down the strait at Skomer.
Cy: "Ydych chi'n barod?
En: "Are you ready?"
Cy: " gofynnodd Gareth, ei lygaid yn disgleirio â chyffro.
En: asked Gareth, his eyes shining with excitement.
Cy: Roedd yn gobeithio y byddai'r diwrnod yn esgor ar orffwys i'w feddwl prysur, llawn o bryderon am ei waith.
En: He hoped the day would bring some rest to his busy mind, full of worries about his work.
Cy: "Rwy'n barod," atebodd Carys, ei chamera'n hongian wrth ei hysgwydd.
En: "I'm ready," replied Carys, her camera hanging at her shoulder.
Cy: Roedd hi'n chwilio am eiliad perffaith i'w dal, gobeithio y byddai'r llun hwnnw'n rhoi goleuni ar ei bywyd.
En: She was searching for the perfect moment to capture, hoping that photo would shed light on her life.
Cy: Ar ôl i'r cwch godi ar y safle, cyrhaeddon nhw dir Ynys Skomer.
En: Once the boat arrived, they reached the land of Ynys Skomer.
Cy: Roedd y llecyn mor fyw â'r haf ei hun.
En: The spot was as lively as summer itself.
Cy: Ac roedd yna adar drycin, gwirioneddol dragwyddol, sefyllfa anhygoel i Gareth.
En: And there were storm petrels, truly eternal, an incredible sight for Gareth.
Cy: Wrth iddynt symud dros y caeau gwyrdd a blodau gwyllt yn dew, dechreuodd y cymylau tywyllu.
En: As they moved over the green fields and thick wildflowers, the clouds began to darken.
Cy: "Mae'r tywydd yn newid," sylwodd Gareth.
En: "The weather is changing," noted Gareth.
Cy: "Ymae 'na cwmwl mawr yn dod," ychwanegodd Carys, yn edrych ar y gorwel.
En: "There's a big cloud coming," added Carys, looking at the horizon.
Cy: Wedi ychydig fisoedd o olrhain tryfflithoedd, cyrhaeddon nhw'r clogwyn lle roedd y puffins yn byw.
En: After a few months of tracing trails, they reached the cliff where the puffins lived.
Cy: Roedd y cefnfor glas yn gwelwi tu hwnt i'r creigwmb.
En: The blue ocean faded beyond the rocky ledge.
Cy: Ond dechreuodd y gwynt chwerwi, gan godi storm ar droed.
En: But the wind began to bitter, brewing a storm at their feet.
Cy: "Beth wnaethom ni wneud!
En: "What have we done!"
Cy: " gwaeddodd Gareth, eu dillad yn araf gwlychu.
En: shouted Gareth, their clothes slowly getting wet.
Cy: "Rhaid i ni ffeindio lle i lochesu," cynghorodd Carys, gan ei ddilyn i gapel bychan o gydradd.
En: "We must find a place to shelter," advised Carys, leading him to a small chapel of refuge.
Cy: Roedd yr ystafell gyfyng yn eu cysgodi rhag y glawoedd trwm, ond nid eu meddyliau.
En: The cramped room sheltered them from the heavy rains, but not their thoughts.
Cy: "Efallai mai nid y peth iawn yw hyn," meddai Gareth, yn ofni siarad yn glir am ei deimladau.
En: “Perhaps this isn’t the right thing,” said Gareth, fearing to speak clearly about his feelings.
Cy: "Efallai...
