Cy: Ym Mangor canol y gaeaf, mae'r Farchnad Aeaf Caerdydd yn fyw ac yn llawn bywyd.
En: In Bangor, in the middle of winter, the Cardiff Winter Market is lively and full of life.

Cy: Mae'r goleuadau yn tywynnu'n gynnes, yn wahanol i'r oerfel sydd yn y gwynt.
En: The lights shine warmly, contrasting with the cold in the wind.

Cy: Gellir arogli'r danteithion tymhorol a chlywed sŵn llawen pobl yn siarad, yn chwerthin ac yn prynu anrhegion i’w hanwyliaid.
En: The smell of seasonal treats can be picked up, and the cheerful sounds of people talking, laughing, and buying gifts for their loved ones can be heard.

Cy: Mae Gethin, dyn gweithgar ond ansicr, yn cerdded trwy'r farchnad ochr yn ochr â Rhian, ei ffrind ers blynyddoedd.
En: Gethin, a hardworking but uncertain man, walks through the market alongside Rhian, his friend for many years.

Cy: Mae Gethin yn gwybod ei fod angen canfod anrheg berffaith ar gyfer Dydd Santes Dwynwen.
En: Gethin knows he needs to find the perfect gift for Dydd Santes Dwynwen.

Cy: Ond gyda'r holl ddewis sydd ar gael yn y farchnad, mae'n teimlo'n drysu.
En: But with all the choices available in the market, he feels confused.

Cy: Mae Rhian, er yrfa gyda Gethin, yn bryderus am rywbeth arall.
En: Rhian, despite the time spent with Gethin, is worried about something else.

Cy: Mae hi’n edrych ar ei newydd ffôn symudol, ofn fy mhoeni am drafferthion gwaith.
En: She keeps looking at her new mobile phone, anxious about work troubles.

Cy: "Beth am bethau Carys?
En: "What about Carys' things?"

Cy: " medd Rhian o'r diwedd, gan dynnu sylw Gethin at stondin llawn cynnyrch crefftus llaw.
En: suggests Rhian finally, drawing Gethin's attention to a stall full of handcrafted products.

Cy: "Mae hi bob amser â rhywbeth unigryw.
En: "She always has something unique."

Cy: "Mae Carys wrth ei waith, gweithgus a chyfeillgar.
En: Carys is at her work, industrious and friendly.

Cy: Ei stôl wedi'i phobi â ffrogiau llygaid a lliwgar, yn berffaith i rywun arbennig.
En: Her stall is adorned with eye-catching and colorful dresses, perfect for someone special.

Cy: Gwrando ar ei chanu carolau tra'n creu, mae Gethin yn teimlo tynfa tuag at gwrthrych penodol – garddwrn â phatrwm cymhleth, ond hardd, arno.
En: Listening to her singing carols while creating, Gethin feels drawn to a particular item—a bracelet with a complex, yet beautiful pattern on it.

Cy: Mae digonedd o ddewis ond mae calonnau Gethin yn gweiddi iddo stopio wrth hwn.
En: There is plenty of choice, but Gethin's heart is urging him to stop at this one.

Cy: "Mae'n hardd," medd Rhian, yn clustnodi ei bryderon cynt.
En: "It's beautiful," says Rhian, setting aside her earlier worries.

Cy: "Beth amdano?
En: "What about it?"

Cy: "Yn y farchnad fywiog, mae Gethin yn sefyll, yn geimdiffyg, yn creu ffws mewnol.
En: In the bustling market, Gethin stands, uncertain, creating an internal fuss.

Cy: Dylai ef ystyried y garddwrn hwnnw?
En: Should he consider that bracelet?

Cy: Mae’n goroesi rhyfeddod mewnbyr, chwilfrydedd yn curo yn ei galon.
En: He survives a moment of internal wonder, curiosity pulsating in his heart.

Cy: Beth os yw’n gwneud camgymeriad?
En: What if he makes a mistake?

Cy: "Ogwydda'th galon," mae Carys yn cynghori, gan ei annog â gwên cynnes.
En: "Trust your heart," advises Carys, encouraging him with a warm smile.

Cy: Mae hi'n gwybod yn dda sut i dawelu cleientiaid.
En: She knows well how to calm customers.

Cy: Anadlu'n ddwfn, mae Gethin yn gwneud ei benderfyniad.
En: Breathing deeply, Gethin makes his decision.

Cy: Mae'n prynu'r garddwrn, yn teimlo bod y gorchymyn wedi'i gwblhau.
En: He buys the bracelet, feeling the task completed.

Cy: Wrth iddo adael y farchnad gyda Rhian, teimla lonyddwch yn ei frest.
En: As he leaves the market with Rhian, he feels a peace in his chest.

Cy: Nid oed graddfa perffeithrwydd ydym oll yn chwilio amdano—ond ystyr a mwys garedig.
En: It is not the scale of perfection we all seek—but the meaning and kind warmth.

Cy: Mae'r gaeaf hideru dros ei ysgwyddau tra mae'r ddinas yn tywyllu.
En: The winter drapes over his shoulders while the city darkens.

Cy: Ond yn ei galon, mae Gethin yn teimlo'n cynhesach.
En: But in his heart, Gethin feels warmer.

Cy: Ei ffrind Rhian yn gwenu, "Da iawn ti, Geth.
En: His friend Rhian smiles, "Well done, Geth.

Cy: Mae gan bob peth hardd erthygl yn ei hanes.
En: Every beautiful thing has a story within it."

Cy: "Ar Dydd Santes Dwynwen, mae'r garddwrn yn cynrychioli llawer mwy i Gethin na dim ond anrheg.
En: On Dydd Santes Dwynwen, the bracelet represents much more to Gethin than just a gift.

Cy: Mae’n symbol o’i growth a’r dewrder newydd mewn agor ei galon i gymryd perygl ar bethau o’r galon.
En: It symbolizes his growth and newfound courage in opening his heart to take risks on matters of the heart.
