Abata mo Ekubo

When you fall in love with someone, you may even see the one's faults as if they were advantages.

The proverb 'abata mo ekubo' describes such a situation.

In other words, 'abata mo ekubo' represents a situation where one is so in love with someone that pockmarks, the remains of disease, look like dimples.

In English, this proverb can be translated as "Love is blind" or "Love sees no faults."
痘痕も靨

すなわち「痘痕も靨」とは、病気の跡である痘痕でも靨のように見えるような、相手に惚れている状況を表しているわけです。
