Story Transcript:

Cy: Teimlai'r haul gwresog ar ei gefn wrth i Garys gerdded i mewn i Siop Pentref Betws-y-Coed.
En: Teimlai'r haul gwresog (The warm sun felt) on her back as Carys walked into Siop Pentref Betws-y-Coed.

Cy: Roedd hi newydd gyrraedd o Gaerdydd, â'i calon yn llawn cyffro i archwilio ei gwreiddiau Cymreig.
En: She had just arrived from Caerdydd (Cardiff), her heart full of excitement to explore her Welsh roots.

Cy: Y siop fach hon, â'i dalcen pren wedi'i addurno'n gogoneddus, oedd y cyntaf i ddal ei llygad.
En: This small shop, with its magnificently adorned wooden façade, was the first to catch her eye.

Cy: Ymhlith yr eitemau mewn cwpwrdd gwydr, roedd Dafydd, yr arlunydd lleol tawel, yn darganfod ei le mewn byd prysur.
En: Among the items in the glass cabinet, Dafydd, the quiet local artist, was finding his place in a busy world.

Cy: Wrth ddarlunio cefnffyrdd fro'r fro ar ddarnau bach o ddur, cyfarfu ei lygad â Carys.
En: While painting the backroads of the area on small pieces of metal, his eyes met Carys's.

Cy: Roedd hi'n edrych yn benysin drwy'r arddangosfa, wedi ei swyno gan fraint a chrefftwaith y pentref.
En: She was looking intently through the display, captivated by the charm and craftsmanship of the village.

Cy: "Croeso, siarad rhywun angen?" gofynnodd Dafydd, ei llais yn dyner ac yn groesawgar.
En: "Croeso, siarad rhywun angen?" (Welcome), do you need to speak with someone?" asked Dafydd, his voice gentle and welcoming.

Cy: "Rwy'n chwilio am rhyw beth arbennig," atebodd Carys, ei llais yn awyddus. "Rhywbeth sy'n dweud y stori o'r lle hwn."
En: "I'm looking for something special," replied Carys, her voice eager. "Something that tells the story of this place."

Cy: "Mae gen i syniad," meddai Dafydd, yn awgrymu'r eitemau sydd wedi'u gwneud â llaw. "Mae'r gwaith yma'n adrodd hanes."
En: "I have an idea," said Dafydd, suggesting the handcrafted items. "The work here tells a story."

Cy: Roedd lliwiau'r ardal yn fywiog ym mhob portffolio.
En: The colors of the area were vibrant in every portfolio.

Cy: Cawsant eu llenwi â lansio glas y mynyddoedd a'r afonydd troellog a lifai gerllaw.
En: They were filled with the blue launches of the mountains and the meandering rivers that flowed nearby.

Cy: Golygfeydd syfrdanol, wedi'u creu â llaw gan bobl y pentref, a oedd yn adrodd hanes hynny.
En: Breathtaking scenes, handcrafted by the village people, that told those very tales.

Cy: Ar ôl rhai awrrau, dododd Carys ei llygad ar ddarn arbennig o dapistry hardd, gyda golygfa o fro Eryri.
En: After some hours, Carys laid her eyes on a particularly beautiful tapestry, featuring a scene from the region of Eryri.

Cy: Roedd ei delweddau yn siarad llawer.
En: Its images spoke volumes.

Cy: "Dyma fo," siffrwdodd honno, ei llais yn cael ei lenwi â syndod. "Bydd hwn yn berffaith."
En: "This is it," she whispered, her voice filled with wonder. "This will be perfect."

Cy: A oedd Dafydd yn amlwg ei falchder, ond llonydd mewn boddhad.
En: Dafydd was clearly proud, yet remained calm with satisfaction.

Cy: Roedd wedi cynorthwyo Carys i ddarganfod y cysylltiad rhyngddi hi a'i gwreiddiau.
En: He had helped Carys to find the connection between herself and her roots.

Cy: "Mae'n wych," cydsyniodd yn dawel, yn ymddyrchafedig gan ei rôl mewn helpu i greu momentau cysylltiol.
En: "It's wonderful," he agreed quietly,...
