Farsi > English Any recommendations on accurate audio translation apps for farsi and english?

[Unknown > English] Small red stamp in Hebrew alphabet with denomination of 12, on a pink piece of paper with seating information at the back.
I've found this little bit of paper in an book from the 1970s. I can't read Hebrew/Yiddish, so I have no clue what it might say.
For more info on the item :
The pink paper is approximately 4cm x 4cm, the stamp being 1.5cm x 2cm.
I looked up postal stamp databases (looking for "red" stamps with a denomination of "12") but didn't find it. It doesn't look like a postal stamp but the date in blue ink stamped on top is confusing.
The back of the piece looks like a show ticket, with seating information.
So... what am looking at here?
Thank you for your input!

[Korean > English] Dry Cleaning Instructions & Coat Composition
Hi all! I thrifted this coat and sadly google translate isn't being helpful when it comes to the composition of the coat as well as if it can be dry cleaned and if so, if there are solvents that should/should not be used. Any help figuring this out is greatly appreciated!

Hello! I would love to get an American inspired “mom” tattoo on my shoulder. But I don’t love how the others look. I was wondering if anyone could send me (in any language) “I love my mom/mother” “mommy” “mom” etc? Let me know, thanks:) basically in a way that says I literally worship my mom, she is my life:)

Hi, what is the word for "facsimile", as in a facsimile edition of a book; an exact reproduction of the original? In this case I was looking for a copy of 奥のほそみち in Basho's hand, if it exists. I tried 副製品 but no luck. Thank you!

[Unknown > English] Hey, could someone translate this song for me?
Hi there! Stumbled upon this song and thought it was really gorgeous. I'm not sure what language it's in though, and the song seems obscure. You don't have to give me a FULL translation, but what's the song about at least? thank you! https://open.spotify.com/track/3kHVQKnxYbg8oLFPTnSeov?si=iBTsvbP-Q8mkl3e_rirQxw
