"At dusk, high streams of water colored in pink, blue, purple and yellow chirped happily around the statue, creating an otherworldly effect that contrasted with the austere silence of the many stars in the deep blue firmament." ¿Sería gorjeando? no se... me sueña raro por más que fuera una metáfora. ¿Se les ocurre otra otra cosa? desde ya gracias

"water chirping" sounds strange and a bit odd to my ears in English.
If you want to reproduce that strangeness, then gorjear is the closest in Spanish.
However, I suggest "trinar" as a near synonym that may sound a little more natural (to think of water "warbling" or "chattering" sounds more natural in English as well).

obviously, "trinaban" to fit grammatically in this context
