Cy: Yn y haf, roedd pentref bychan yn Snowdonia yn llawn bywiogrwydd.
En: In the summer, a small village in Snowdonia was full of vitality.
Cy: Ar stryd dawel, roedd siop de Carys yn cynnig lloches lle gallai pobl ymgynnull i fwynhau te heintus a phastai cartrefol.
En: On a quiet street, Carys's tea shop offered a refuge where people could gather to enjoy infectious tea and homely pastries.
Cy: Gyda’i chadeiriau gwahanol, trawstiau pren, a golygfeydd trawiadol o’r bryniau a’r grug lliwgar oddi allan, roedd awyrgylch croesawgar a chynnes.
En: With its mismatched chairs, wooden beams, and stunning views of the hills and colorful heather outside, it had a welcoming and warm atmosphere.
Cy: Roedd Emrys yn ymweld â’r siop bron bob dydd.
En: Emrys visited the shop almost every day.
Cy: Roedd yn fardd lleol ond roedd wedi cyffroi gyda bloc creadigol.
En: He was a local poet but was dealing with a creative block.
Cy: Roedd arno eisiau ysbrydoliaeth mewn rhywle newydd.
En: He wanted inspiration in a new place.
Cy: Treuliai oriau mewn cornel, gyda llyfr nodiadau gwag o’i flaen.
En: He would spend hours in a corner, with an empty notebook in front of him.
Cy: Ond roedd Emrys yn parhau i fod yn ansicr.
En: But Emrys continued to be uncertain.
Cy: Ai bardd oedd yntau, neu dim ond rhywun ifanc a oedd wedi colli gafael ar ei eiriau?
En: Was he truly a poet, or just a young man who had lost his grasp on words?
Cy: Roedd Rhiannon yn gymraes ifanc yn archwilio ei hetifeddiaeth Gymreig.
En: Rhiannon was a young Welsh woman exploring her Welsh heritage.
Cy: Roedd ei ffordd wedi dod â hi i bentref a olygai gymaint i’w teulu yn y gorffennol.
En: Her journey had brought her to a village that meant so much to her family in the past.
Cy: Roedd y pentref yn annisgwyl wedi dal ei llygad, gyda’i swyn a’i hanes.
En: The village had unexpectedly caught her eye, with its charm and history.
Cy: Roedd hi’n meddwl cyn ymadael, ond roedd y siop de wedi’i dal.
En: She considered leaving, but the tea shop had captured her.
Cy: Carys, perchennog y siop, oedd fel chwaer ofalgar, yn trefnu i Emrys a Rhiannon ddod i’w gilydd yn ddirgel.
En: Carys, the shop owner, was like a caring sister, secretly arranging for Emrys and Rhiannon to come together.
Cy: Mewn siarad a thost cynnes, datblygodd cyfeillgarwch naturiol rhwng y ddau.
En: In conversation and warm toast, a natural friendship developed between the two.
Cy: Roedd hyder Emrys yn cynyddu wrth i Rhiannon rannu ei stori.
En: Emrys's confidence grew as Rhiannon shared her story.
Cy: Yna, un diwrnod o haf, penderfynodd Carys gynnal digwyddiad bychan.
En: Then, one summer's day, Carys decided to hold a small event.
Cy: Emrys, wedi’i ysbrydoli gan y siop a’i gysylltiadau newydd, cafodd ysbrydoliaeth.
En: Emrys, inspired by the shop and his new connections, found inspiration.
Cy: Cododd i ddarllen cerdd roedd newydd ei chyfansoddi:
En: He got up to read a poem he had just composed:
Cy: "Y bryniau sy'n syfrdanu, Gydag heulwen yn ein cwmni, Rhiannon, mae'r mwd yn troi'n euraidd, Mae geiriau'n llifo’n rhydd drwodd i mi."
En: "The hills that dazzle, With sunshine as our company, Rhiannon, the mud turns golden, Words flow freely through to me."
Cy: Roedd y gathl creadigol yn fwy nag erioed.
En: The creative spark was greater than ever.
Cy: Roedd pawb yn gweiddi a’r cefnogaeth oedd yn llethol.
En: Everyone was cheering, and the support was overwhelming.
Cy: Roedd rhywbeth arbennig wedi digwydd.
En: Something special had happened.
Cy: Er bod Emrys wedi goresgyn ei rwystrau creadigol, roedd Rhiannon eisoes yn paratoi i adael.
En: Although Emrys had overcome his creative obstacles, Rhiannon was already preparing to leave.
Cy: Ond ni chawsant eu lapio mewn tristwch.
En: But they were not wrapped up in sadness.
Cy: Cynigwyd gobaith.
En: Hope was offered.
Cy: "Nid yw hyn yn ddiwedd," meddai Emrys wrth baratoi am ei hymadael.
En: "This is not the end," said Emrys as he prepared for her departure.
Cy: "Mae calon Cymru'n aros am eich dychweliad."
En: "The heart of Cymru awaits your return."
Cy: Gyda chalon llawn, gadawodd Rhiannon yr ardal, wedi gwneud addewid i ddychwelyd.
En: With a full heart, Rhiannon left the area, having made a promise to return.
Cy: Roedd Emrys, yn ei ôl, wedi dysgu gweld undod mewn man cyffredin, gan ddathlu pob gair a bryn a grug.
En: Emrys, in turn, had learned to see unity in a common place, celebrating every word and hill and heather.
Cy: Roedd y siop de a’i chysylltiadau wedi ennyn llawer mwy na chreadigaeth; roedd wedi creu cyfeillgarwch parhaol a brwdfrydedd newydd.
En: The tea shop and its connections had sparked much more than creativity; it had created lasting friendship and new enthusiasm.
Cy: Roedd yr haf hwn wedi datgelu ystyr glyfar o fod yn gartrefol, a’r pentref bychan yn Snowdonia yn parhau i adlewyrchu’r bardd a’r wraig daith.
En: This summer had revealed a clever meaning of being at home, and the small village in Snowdonia continued to reflect the poet and the woman on a journey.
