Transcript:Cy: Roedd y bore'n glasus yn Coed y Brenin, a'r coed wedi eu lapio mewn cwt gallmets o laswellt.En: It was a blue-sky morning in Coed y Brenin, with the trees wrapped in a fine cover of grass.Cy: Roedd adar yn canu'n gyson uwchben, fel un cor symudol.En: Birds sang consistently above, like a moving choir.Cy: Wrth i'r ffrydiau fyrlydio dros gerrig mwsoglyd, roedd Dafydd yn edrych tros y tir gyda'i gydweithwyr, Siân a Gwyn.En: As the streams bubbled over mossy stones, Dafydd looked over the land with his colleagues, Siân and Gwyn.Cy: Roedd ganddo genhadaeth—achub y goedwig a'i bywyd gwyllt.En: He had a mission—to save the forest and its wildlife.Cy: Roedd Dafydd bob amser wedi teimlo dewrder annisgwyl yn wyneb bygythiadau i'r byd naturiol.En: Dafydd always felt an unexpected courage in the face of threats to the natural world.Cy: "Mae angen i bob blwyddyn wneud y diferyn hwnnw o wahaniaeth," meddai'n aml i Siân a Gwyn, gan wfftio'r papurach a'r biwrocratiaeth a frusto oedd yn ei atal.En: "Every year must make that drop of difference," he often told Siân and Gwyn, scoffing at the paperwork and frustrating bureaucracy that held him back.Cy: Ond nid oedd popeth yn rhwydd.En: But not everything was easy.Cy: Roedd trefniadau lleol yn llawn amheuaeth.En: Local arrangements were full of suspicion.Cy: Pabell neu helfa adar ar y weekend oedd galwadau'r dref bellach ynysig.En: A tent or a birdwatching event on the weekend were the town's current calls.Cy: Roedd honno'n her i Dafydd.En: This was a challenge for Dafydd.Cy: Diolai'n defnyddio ei dewrder—cynllunio digwyddiad cymunedol i godi ymwybyddiaeth.En: He used his bravery—planning a community event to raise awareness.Cy: "Bydd yn rhaid i bawb weld pa mor brydferth ydy Coed y Brenin, a beth a gollwn os nad ydym yn gweithredu," meddai Siân, yn helpu i drefnu'r digwyddiad.En: "Everyone needs to see how beautiful Coed y Brenin is, and what we would lose if we don't act," said Siân, helping to organize the event.Cy: Roedd yr holl drefniadau yn ymddangos yn ddiddiwedd, ond roedd y frwd ymhlith y tri yn amlwg.En: All the arrangements seemed endless, but the enthusiasm among the three was evident.Cy: Ar fore'r digwyddiad, roedd yr haul yn disgleirio.En: On the morning of the event, the sun was shining.Cy: Roedd plant yn paentio dail glôdroch gyda chrafbwyll, a'i rhieni yn ymestyn bob ochr i lawenydd awyr y jyngl.En: Children were painting vibrant leaves with chalk, and parents stretched every direction in the joy of the jungle's air.Cy: Yna, yn sydyn, digwyddodd rhywbeth rhyfeddol.En: Then, suddenly, something marvelous happened.Cy: Wrth i bobol roi sylw ar y llwyfan, cyhoeddodd Gwyn, "Edrychwch!En: As people focused on the stage, Gwyn announced, "Look!"Cy: "Roedd aderyn prin, yr hebog y coed, yn hedfan dros y pladur!En: A rare bird, the woodland hawk, was flying over the clearing!Cy: Roedd y gwahoddiad ar unwaith.En: The invitation was immediate.Cy: Ni fu un syched o jîr nac un anghofiad, dim ond y gawod o sicrwydd yn llenwi'r llawr gyda sibrwd ego'i einiau.En: There was no thirst for attention, no forgetting, just a shower of certainty filling the ground with whispers of awe.Cy: Er na allai Dafydd oedd uchderach o gwmpeini roi ei deimlad mewn geiriau, roedd yn hysbys.En: Even though Dafydd, who towered over the gathering, couldn't put his feelings into words, it was known.Cy: Roedd y teimlad o undod yn taro yn nifer o galonnau gan ddod â hwy i fod yn rhan o rywbeth mawr.En: The feeling of unity struck many hearts, bringing them to be part of something great.Cy: Daeth y cyffro dyfrllyd i'r cymdogion lleol â'r gefnogaeth angenrheidiol.En: The watery excitement brought the necessary support from the local neighbors.Cy: Roedd y bygythiad biwrocratig ynghudd rhwng hen lwyfannau a gwiri anuwedd.En: The bureaucratic threat was hidden among old platforms and unwarranted checks.Cy: Erbyn diwedd y dydd, roedd Dafydd yn edrych ar y mynyddoedd gyda'i rybudd.En: By the end of the day, Dafydd looked at the mountains with a warning.Cy: Gwelodd nid yn unig gwirioneddau bywyd gwyllt ond hefyd y grym i ysbrydoli a chanllawio ei gymuned.En: He saw not only the truths of wildlife but also the power to inspire and guide his community.Cy: Byddai Coed y Brenin erioed yn gael fygythiad heb ei benderfyniad.En: Coed y Brenin would never again be threatened without his determination.Cy: Roedd y goedwig, am harmoniaeth wedi hir cynnwrf—ac y mae Dafydd, bellach, yn saff o'i ffyrdd.En: The forest, for harmony after long unrest—and Dafydd was now sure of his ways.Cy: Roedd y cyfeillgarwch go iawn, fel y gwynt, wedi codi trwy hud coedwig gadarn.En: True friendship, like the wind, had risen through the enchantment of the enduring forest.Cy: Roedd Dafydd, Siân a Gwyn yn cydnabod afiawndeb yr hyn a allent gyflawni gyda'i gilydd.En: Dafydd, Siân, and Gwyn recognized the value of what they could achieve together.Cy: Roedd y goedwig, yn llawn o addo, yn barod i fyw a fflamio yng ngweleaaaa ion cyhoeddus.En: The forest, full of promise, was ready to live and flame in the public eye.Cy: Y gwaith a sicrhaodd ei frwydr yn erbyn y ddifrod oedd yn niwed, a sefyll yma am ein plant.En: Their work ensured the battle against the damaging destruction and to stand here for our children.Cy: A dyma ddiwedd stori Dafydd, cychwyn ffrwythlon.En: And thus ends the story of Dafydd, a fruitful beginning.
