Gareth that everything is alright.Cy: O gyfnos i gyrraedd, mae'r sgwrs yn troi allan yn rycl.En: As dusk arrives, the conversation turns lively.Cy: Mae’n Dydd Gŵyl Dewi arbennig, nid oherwydd bod popeth yn “berffaith” ond oherwydd bod popeth yn real.En: It's a special Dydd Gŵyl Dewi, not because everything is "perfect," but because everything is real.Cy: Mae Gareth wedi dysgu'r wers bwysig o ryddhau popeth i allu cynnal cysylltiadau go iawn gydag eraill.En: Gareth has learned the important lesson of letting go to foster real connections with others.Cy: Ac felly, mae cychwyn y gwanwyn yn Gymru yn bryd i ddathlu’r perffeithrwydd annisgwyl o fod gyda theulu, yn hytrach na chwilio am berffeithrwydd cynlluniedig.En: And so, the onset of spring in Cymru is a time to celebrate the unexpected perfection of being with family, rather than seeking planned perfection.Cy: Mae Gareth wedi newid.En: Gareth has changed.Cy: Mae'n hapus.En: He is happy.Cy: Mae'r gŵyl ei hun yn uchelgais a mewnwelediad.En: The festival itself is both ambition and insight.
