Cy: Roedd teulu Owain wedi penderfynu mynd am dro yn Eryri.
En: Owain's family had decided to go for a walk in Snowdonia.

En: Owain was very excited.

Cy: Roedd e wrth ei fodd yn anturiaethau.
En: He loved adventures.

Cy: "Owain, dyma'r lle gorau yn y byd," dywedodd ei daid.
En: "Owain, this is the best place in the world," said his grandfather.

Cy: Gyda’i deulu, Owain, ei dad, ei fam, a'i daid, dechreuodd ddringo’r llwybr.
En: With his family—Owain, his dad, his mom, and his grandfather—he began climbing the path.

Cy: Cerdded drwy goedwig laswelltog oedd y cam cyntaf.
En: Walking through a grassy forest was the first step.

Cy: Roedd y codiad haul yn hwylio drwy'r coed.
En: The sunrise was streaming through the trees.

Cy: Roedd Owain yn ymestyn ei fraich wrth fynd i gyffwrdd y brigau yn y coed.
En: Owain stretched out his arm to touch the branches in the trees.

Cy: "Annwyl Owain, dyma dy fam," dywedai Dad wrth chwarae gyda Owain.

En: Owain saw flocks of birds flying above.

Cy: "Mor brydferth yma," meddai ei fam gyda gwên.
En: "It's so beautiful here," said his mom with a smile.

Cy: Roedd hi'n hapus i rannu prydferthwch Eryri gyda'i theulu.
En: She was happy to share the beauty of Snowdonia with her family.

En: The view was perfect.

Cy: Roedd y wlad o danynt a'r awyr las uwchben.
En: The land lay beneath them and the blue sky above.

Cy: Owain was dynn gyda dwylo mas.
En: Owain stood with his arms outstretched.

Cy: Roedd e’n teimlo’n rydd fel yr adar mawr.

Cy: "Dilynwch eich breuddwydion," dywedodd ei daid yn dawel.
En: "Follow your dreams," his grandfather said quietly.

Cy: Roedd teulu Owain yn llinyn o hapus yn y funud anhygoel honno.
En: Owain's family was a string of happiness in that incredible moment.

Cy: Pan ddaeth yr haul i lawr, aethant nôl i lawr y mynydd gyda chalonau llawn llawenydd ac atgofion annwyl.
En: As the sun set, they went back down the mountain with hearts full of joy and dear memories.

Cy: Roedd yn dipyn o antur a daith hiraethus.
En: It had been quite an adventure and a poignant journey.

Cy: Cyrhaeddon nhw’r car.
En: They arrived at the car.

Cy: Roedd Owain yn flinedig ond yn hapus iawn.
En: Owain was tired but very happy.

Cy: "Hoffwn fynd am dro yma eto," meddai wrth ei deulu.
En: "I'd like to come for a walk here again," he said to his family.

Cy: "Byddwn yn dod yn ôl," atebodd ei fam a’i dad gyda gwen ar eu hwynebau.
En: "We will come back," replied his mom and dad with smiles on their faces.

Cy: Roedd teulu Owain wedi dod yn agosach trwy’r daith hon.
En: Owain's family had grown closer through this journey.

Cy: Ac fel hynny, dyna oedd brig y daith.
En: And so, that was the peak of the trip.

En: Owain slept soundly on the way home, dreaming of the next time he would be in Snowdonia with his family.
