Story Transcript:

Cy: Mae’r awyr yn drwm gyda’r arogl o goffi ffres wrth iddi droi'n hwyr yn ystod dathliadau Calan Gaeaf ym Marina Abertawe. En: The air is heavy with the smell of fresh coffee as it turns late during the Calan Gaeaf celebrations at the Marina Abertawe.

Cy: Gwneir swyn hud o'r egin newydd a gwin pob man wrth i blant wisgo'u gwisgoedd ysbryd i gasglu pwdinau. En: A magical charm is made from fresh shoots and mulled wine as children dress in their ghostly costumes to collect treats.

Cy: Ond heddiw, nid yw golwg falch Marina Abertawe y peth mwyaf diddorol. En: But today, the proud sight of Marina Abertawe isn't the most intriguing thing.

Cy: Mae rhywbeth arall wedi cynhyrfu’r dref – gwrthrych dirgel yn nofio yn y dŵr. En: Something else has stirred the town - a mysterious object floating in the water.

Cy: Eira, myfyrwyr prifysgol yn astudio bioleg y môr, sef ei hun wrth ymyl y dŵr, chwilfrydig a phryderus. En: Eira, a university student studying marine biology, finds herself by the water, curious and anxious.

Cy: “Mae’n rhaid i mi ddarganfod beth yw e!” meddai hi wrthi hi ei hun, codi ei llygaid i Orwelon’r môr. En: “I must find out what it is!” she tells herself, lifting her eyes to the horizon of the sea.

Cy: “Dim ond chwedl ydy e, Eira,” dywedodd Gethin, pysgotwr lleol gyda storiâu haerllug o uchder. En: “It’s just a legend, Eira,” said Gethin, a local fisherman with tall tales.

Cy: Roedd ei wyneb, wedi ei lygru gan y gwynt môr, yn adleisio balchder a beirgyn. En: His face, weathered by the sea wind, echoed pride and boldness.

Cy: “Mae pob chwedl yn gorfod dod o rhywle,” rhybuddiodd Eira, disgleirio o dan y golau llanw sy’n taro dros y cei. En: “Every legend has got to come from somewhere,” Eira warned, shining under the tidal light that strikes above the quay.

Cy: Yn agos, roedd Caffi y Marina yn brysur gyda seciwencau o clecs a chlyfrau. En: Nearby, the Caffi y Marina was bustling with sequences of gossip and chatter.

Cy: Rhosyn, perchennog y lle, yn seren ar yr ysgwydd a'i wyneb yn barod i ddod i’r fei. En: Rhosyn, the owner, was a star on the shoulder with her face ready to step in.

Cy: “Beth bynnag yw e, nid wyf isio unrhyw faint o dryblith yn trafferthu fy ngwsmeriaid,” dywedodd hi’n holl gredadwy. En: “Whatever it is, I don’t want any amount of trouble bothering my customers,” she said quite credibly.

Cy: Ond roedd teimlad rhyfeddu tu mewn i Rhosyn yn codi ei gyffro, a chafodd ei hun yn chwilio am wynebiaeth ymysg ei chwsmeriaid, chwilio am rhyw gwybodaeth na roedd hi eto wedi clywed. En: But there was a feeling of wonder rising in Rhosyn that sparked her excitement, and she found herself searching for a face among her customers, searching for some information she hadn’t yet heard.

Cy: Yn wynebu penbleth, penderfynodd Eira actio a gofynnodd am help. En: Facing a dilemma, Eira decided to act and asked for help.

Cy: “Nid oeddwn wedi gweld rhywbeth tebyg,” cytunodd Gethin y tro hwn, wrth fachu ei gwch, “Ond rwy’n gwirioni ar greadigrwydd!” En: “I hadn’t seen anything like it,” Gethin agreed this time, while docking his boat, “But I love the creativity!”

Cy: Er gwaethaf y superstitions, daeth Gethin ac Eira at ei gilydd gyda rhestr o wybodaeth gan bobl y marina. En: Despite the superstitions, Gethin and Eira came together with a list of information from the people of the marina.

Cy: Roedd Rhosyn, gyda’i synnwyr busnes barn, wedi bod y clustiau i'r si a’r digwyddiadau. En: Rhosyn, with her sharp business sense, had been all ears to the gossip and the happenings.

Cy: Noson Calan Gaeaf, gydag awyr tywyll fel sefyllfa. En: Calan Gaeaf night, with a dark sky like a tableau.

Cy: Daeth hwyl osgordd blwcwr a llusernau dynion at eu gilydd. En: There was a flow of dockworkers and men's lanterns coming together
